What 49ers have said behind-the-scenes about how long they might actually own Leeds United

After being demoted from the Premier League a year ago, the American team agreed to a lower price and formally finished buying the club from Andrea Radrizzani last summer.

Leeds, who had a terrible end to the season and missed out on finishing in the Championship’s top two, will essentially get another chance at promotion starting this weekend.

With just eight points from their final eight games, Daniel Farke’s team lost to Leicester City and Ipswich Town and now has to get ready for the play-offs.

Although Leeds has never succeeded in winning promotion from the play-offs, they will be hoping that this time is different.

With the group of players Farke has had available to him this season, Leeds’ inability to win promotion would be viewed as a failure.

That being said, Phil Hay does not think Farke’s position would be in jeopardy if that were to occur because the ownership group is largely sensible.

The 49ers have already stated that significant sales would need to be made if Leeds were to stay in the Championship, but the Athletic claims this will not lessen their dedication to the team.

According to a report published this morning, the 49ers have spoken behind closed doors that they may buy Leeds for more than ten years since they see the team as a long-term endeavor.

In light of this, this season’s “promotion or bust” mentality is not present, which should give Leeds fans some optimism regardless of how the play-offs turn out.

After the last 20 years, Leeds fans will always be traumatized by their team’s owners, but at last, they seem to have a competent leadership team with the resources to back it up.
