49ers Enterprises takeover now on the brink at Leeds United as Andrea Radrizzani makes manager call
Andrea Radrizzani is on the brink of handing over full control at Leeds United to the 49ers Enterprises, according to the Mail+.
The newspaper has reported on its website that the Italian could not wait any longer before the decision to sack Jesse Marsch which came on Monday 6 February.
Paraag Marathe will join Radrizzani in having a crucial say on who will take over at Elland Road, as the American consortium prepares to enter the new era at the club.
Writing in his latest piece for the Mail+ with all of the insight on what happened over the past 24 hours, David Coverdale shared an interesting snippet on the takeover.
“Owner Andrea Radrizzani wanted to make a change earlier but was persuaded to sit tight,” he wrote.
“However, Radrizzani could wait no longer following the defeat at Forest and after Sean Dyche inspired Everton to victory over Arsenal on Saturday.
“The Italian is on the brink of relinquishing full control of the club to the 49ers Enterprises and relegation could cause him to lose millions in the sale.”
New Era.
Marathe is going to have a big say on who takes over at Elland Road, mainly because it looks as though they will be the first man in charge when the 49ers take control.
That could be much sooner than everyone thought too, with a change of manager potentially being Radrizzani’s final act at the club ahead of the huge change.
It could now be seen as the perfect time for the 49ers Enterprises to come in and take the reins off the Italian, rather than waiting until the summer to do just that.
We have seen big moves from the 49ers throughout the latest January transfer window, helping push ahead the deals for Georginio Rutter and most likely Weston McKennie too with future clauses and payments involved.
Radrizzani has worked wonders to get Leeds back to the big time after years in the gutter, but the 49ers are needed to push the club to the next level, with the next manager also crucial to that.
Bring it on.
