49ers Enterprises finally gets the Radrizzani documents it’s been waiting for on Leeds United — Leeds Live 20/10/23

Companies House has published documents for Elland Road Limited which confirm the end of Andrea Radrizzani's association with Leeds United and its stadium

Any lingering doubts about Elland Road’s ownership and Andrea Radrizzani’s lasting influence have been eradicated by fresh documents published today. Companies House has confirmed the termination of Radrizzani’s appointment as a director with Elland Road Limited, the stadium’s owner.

Since a deal was brokered on June 9 for the sale of the Italian’s controlling stake at Leeds United to 49ers Enterprises, it has only been a matter of time before the paperwork would materialise. In the space of eight days, the record has been updated to officially confirm Radrizzani’s exit from the club and stadium.

Accounts for Elland Road Limited were published earlier this month and suggested Radrizzani was still in charge of stadium matters, at least administratively. That posed some questions for supporters, but the paperwork has now confirmed the 49ers takeover.

The filings on Companies House confirm the satisfaction of the charge the American group had registered against the ground on December 31, 2020. That was a document which protected Enterprises against anything Radrizzani could have done without their knowledge.

Radrizzani confidant Massimo Marinelli has also been removed as a director of the Elland Road group, just as he was removed from Leeds United Football Club Limited last week. Whites chairman Paraag Marathe has joined 49ers colleague Collin Meador and United chief executive Angus Kinnear as a director at Elland Road Limited.

Meanwhile, Jed York, chief executive officer at San Francisco 49ers, has been named as a person with significant control. The documents draw a line under the Radrizzani era for good.

The huge initial fee Leeds are set to receive for Crysencio Summerville’s move to West Ham — Leeds United News 31/7/24

-
Will Butcher West Ham United are closing in on a deal to sign Crysencio Summerville from Leeds United, and Ben Jacobs has shared how much Leeds will receive for the Dutchman. The 22-year-old has been strongly linked with the Elland Road exit door all summer and was targeted as the one big sale Leeds needed to make before the Profit & Sustainability Rules deadline this month. But instead, Leeds sold Archie Gray for £40m to Tottenham. Leeds have since sold five more players in the form of Diego Llorente, Marc Roca, Kris Klaesson and Charlie Cresswell – raking in around £60m in total. But more exits were always likely and Fabrizio Romano reported on Wednesday afternoon that West Ham had agreed personal terms with Summerville, and talks for a fee were ongoing with the Yorkshire side. Now, the story has moved on with multiple sources claiming a deal is done between Leeds and Angus Kinnear’s old club. The Dutchman is expected to sign a five-year at the London Stadium, until Jun...

Leeds United transfer state of play as Whites knock back low bid and assert wing pair stance — YEP 3/7/24

-
By Graham Smyth Leeds United are not actively looking to cash in on Crysencio Summerville and Willy Gnonto and believe any further outgoing transfer business will be done on their terms. The Whites, who sold Archie Gray to Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday for £40m, expect that there will be continued interest in wing pair Summerville and Gnonto as the summer transfer window progresses. Summerville has been a target for Premier League side Brighton and Hove Albion but their interest has not yet materialised into a bid. The Albion did, however, send a £30m proposal for Georginio Rutter, which Elland Road chiefs rejected. Rutter is not expected to try and force an exit this summer and appears settled at Leeds after a far more positive second season in English football. The sale of Gray has helped put Leeds into a position where they do not need to sell star players and can dictate any moves that do happen. Club sources say they are not actively looking to sell the likes of Summerville o...
