Leeds are on the brink of a sensational return to the top-flight after 15 seasons in League One and the Championship.
Leeds are second in the league but are 10 points ahead of third-placed Preston. They’re as low as 1/14 with the bookies to win promotion in Marcelo Bielsa’s second season in charge.
There are big plans if Leeds get promoted, including expansion of Elland Road and QSI are hovering with the sort of investment that owner Radrizzani said could take Leeds up to the level of Man City.
Leeds fans are understandably excited at the prospect of promotion and money to spend.
Investment has come a step closer with this news.
