Andrea Radrizzani has no option on Leeds United stay – Sky Sports pundit
We’re delighted to welcome former England goalkeeper Paul Robinson as our exclusive columnist as each week he’ll be giving his views on the biggest talking points at Leeds United…
Paul Robinson has suggested Andrea Radrizzani could be left with “no choice” when it comes to his position at Elland Road.
According to Daily Mail journalist Ian Ladyman (13 May), it’s unclear what the 49ers’ intentions are if Leeds are relegated to the Championship, with Radrizzani set to lose a significant amount off the club’s value.
However, Robinson believes Radrizzani could be left in limbo in West Yorkshire, with Leeds’ league status determining whether the Italian stays or goes.
“I don’t think any decision will be made now. I don’t think Radrizzani has much of a choice [whether to stay or go]. It’s how the takeover is structured,” Robinson exclusively told MOT Leeds News.
“The potential investment of the 49ers comes in, I suspect a huge part of that deal is constructed in a way which is dependent on what league Leeds are in.
“Radrizzani might not have a choice on whether he stays or not if the complete takeover doesn’t take place if Leeds are in the Championship.”
It’s believed the 49ers could takeover the Yorkshire side for a sum of £420million in they remain in the Premier League. However, it’s understood they will not be willing to spend more than £150million if Leeds are relegated to the Championship.
