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.
