Very specific involvement in the club being opened up to Leeds Fans United.
Is this a positive step forward for Leeds United and the fans?
Discuss.....
Interesting development.....

The cynic in me says.....
Why now? Short of cash due to Eleven Sports not doing well?
It’s funny, the timing feels odd.

I'm not sure that's what LFU was set up for. Shares giving supporters a say on heritage issues?

It could be a very good time to invest in the future of the club, on the verge of going up where there is big money to be made, however, it feels like to me like these are a scam. I wouldn't touch them.

Seems positive but still very limited - 'heritage issues' only? Is Radrizzani just playing lip service to "fan engagement" here? The timing might only be down to the owner wanting to harvest the feelgood factor currently bouncing around our club in shedloads...
The impact of the failure of his Eleven Sports venture may well manifest itself during the January transfer window...Pablo is 33, so we do need to recruit a creative attacking midfielder - although I also wonder whether Tyler Roberts could also do this job well?
I wish Sunday would hurry up - this week has seemed to last forever. Good news that Ayling is back in the mix!

Not sold on Tyler as an attacking mid, lacks the guile to unlock defences.
Don’t get me wrong excellent young striker who I am delighted we have him.

People need to stop trying to force Roberts into the starting eleven by playing him outside the role that he feels comfortable playing. What we did with White and Mowatt and look how that went.
He will get his chances this season. Still a very young player.

In not sure Eleven Sports UK troubles will have much if any impact on the running of the club. It’s a limited company and losses will be limited to that company.
It might make AR a little more cautious in the short term but I don’t think he was looking to invest big in January anyway.
Not sure I know enough about LFU to make a judgement on this news/deal but it looks like we could end up with a new training facility.

I think I'm more than capable of doing plenty of things that I can't do.
