Was great to sit down this afternoon and talk about the positive vision @andrearadri has for #lufc - past is the past now. #MOT
Andrea Radrizzani gjør seg fortsatt kjent med Leeds, og snakker også med de mer uformelle gruppene for å få deres syn. I går møtte han flere grupper, bl.a. på ny det som nå vel kan kalles den tidligere gruppen TTGM, som har hatt kontakt med Andrea siden oktober.
Her er noen snippets med info fra møtet:

Am out tonight but it was positive - a huge shift in attitude (as I explained to him, TTGM would never have happened if after the poster outside the East Stand Massimo had agreed to sit down and talk as we'd asked...!)
TrustChairman Dave; the positivity & good vibes around ER today were fantastic. A definite wind of change.
Dan (til høyre på bildet): TTGM have disbanded and the club is well aware of that. Believe Andrea saw us as an...organisation that represented a large number of angry fans this time last year and......wanted to hear our thoughts on how to achieve a positive future for #LUFC.
Dan fortsetter på waccoe:
Understand Sharon of LFU was invited but couldn't make it today.
Not as interesting as you might think guys unforunately.
Was great to hear his vision and I feel like we are all looking in the right direction. He understood why TTGM did what we did and had a few jokes about it.
Main takeaways are that club wants to buy back ER but the owner is wanting too much for TA as we don't have a buy back clause. Monk is safe, club have an option of another year guaranteed. Sorting at end of season. Was more of just a relationship building meeting but he is a very nice guy and very humble about what he expects. Not making lavish promises which he can't fulfil.
Et spr:
Dan now you've met Radz what is your gut feeling compared to say 6 months ago are you more / less confident that he is the right guy for LUFC and will take us forward.
First impressions are very good. Very likeable guy, seems to have a good business head. Wants to take our media to the next level which we agreed with him about.
I think we would be very lucky to get the RIGHT guy straight away but he certainly could be. I think he would attract investment from the Far East as well once Massimo is out of the picture.
Caution reserved as always but I'm more hopeful with AR than I have been with any of the last 3. Fingers crossed he doesn't cock it up.
Nytt spr:
Any mention of fall back plan re TA?
Staying there for foreseeable but not intending to look at moving for quite a while yet.
