Dette bildet symboliserer godt det nye regimet i klubben vår mener jeg. Betydningen av facsiliteter er neppe ubetydelig hvis vi skal tiltrekke oss spillere fra øverste hylle! Dette var salderingsposter som ble skåret ned til beinet, i den grad at garderobeforholdene var helsefarlige og spillerne måtte smøre lunsjpakka sjøl under Cellino. Ikke rart at vår nåværende eier har prioritert å bruke store summer på å gjenoppbygge til akseptabel standard. Dette er viktige forhold når man skal evaluere det store bildet etter Radrizzanis 2 første år.

Statement on supporter investment from LFU

07 Jul 2019

In December last year, Leeds United and supporter group Leeds Fans Utd announced that they had agreed heads of terms to allow supporters to invest in the club.

This investment will kick-start plans to build a new training facility and sports village at Elland Road, and will secure a new class of shares ensuring that supporters who commit will have a voice in key heritage decisions.

The plans for the new training facility will be now announced during the club’s centenary year which is later than envisaged.

Given this delay to the launch, LFU has decided to allow any of its shareholders who wish to leave the society this summer the opportunity to do so.

Leeds United chief executive Angus Kinnear said: “The timing on announcing our plans on a world class training facility and community sports hub around Elland Road will be later in our centenary year than anticipated.

“We are working hard with Leeds City Council to realise our vision and mark our hundredth year with an ambitious project that will leave a meaningful legacy well into our next hundred years.”

The Heads of Terms that LFU signed with Leeds United state that shareholders who are part of LFU when the scheme is launched will get at least 100% value for their original investment plus additional benefits of being an initial member.

Those members who choose to remain now will still be able to ask for 90% value of their original investment back when the full conditions upon which the new class of shares can be acquired are announced, should they decide when in full possession of fact that they do not wish to remain a member of LFU and invest in Leeds United.

The process for those who want to cancel their LFU membership will be published here within the next seven days.

Leeds United's new training ground may not yet mean the end for Thorp Arch - Leeds Live

Life may yet be in the old dog yet when the time comes for Leeds United to depart Thorp Arch for pastures new in the coming years.

The Whites are edging closer to an agreement with Leeds City Council over plans for a new training ground within the vicinity of Elland Road.

As and when that dream becomes a reality a question mark will hover over their current home between Wetherby and Boston Spa, a state of the art complex which continues to receive investment under head coach Marcelo Bielsa.

However, speaking to fans at an event in Perth, Australia on Monday, executive director Paul Bell hinted the facility still had a future with the club.

“It’s been well documented we are looking at potential options around Elland Road for development, working in conjunction with the council,” he said.

“We’re now looking at alternative plans for Thorp Arch, whether we can do something slightly different there on an educational basis, but the long-term plan, ideally, would be to move from Thorp Arch down towards Elland Road.”

He added: “Not shutting it down, we might have a different use for it now. We’re just considering something slightly different for it.

“The original plan was to move lock, stock and barrel, but that plan’s now evolved.”

Bell was also quizzed on the latest situation with Kalvin Phillips, who has been linked with Aston Villa in the media.

However, Bell deferred to better placed colleagues, who will also face fans, but later in the week in Australia.

“I’m not the best person to ask that. Victor [Orta, director of football] and Angus [Kinnear, managing director] will be here on Wednesday. I don’t get involved in the football side, in terms of transfers,” he said.

“Clearly, I’m aware of all the interest in the paper and as Tony [Dorigo]’s rightly said, he’s been fantastic for us as a player over the last season.

“I think, personally, one of the most improved players alongside Liam [Cooper] over this last year.”
