At the end of this week, Leeds United will have just seven weeks to get ready for the start of the new Championship season. This summer was always going to be short, given the elongated nature of the 2022-23 campaign, but the competitive action is fast approaching and there’s still so many questions to answer at Elland Road.
The news that came on Friday night regarding a takeover agreement being reached between 49ers Enterprises and Andrea Radrizzani was the first step that needed to be taken. That situation is far from complete and it is now in the hands of the EFL as they run various checks on the major investors behind the investment group.
As such, it seems it could be some time before the takeover is officially signed off and the Elland Road keys are handed over to 49ers Enterprises. But, the agreement does mean the club can press on with their preparations for the new season, with so much still to do.
