What I find strange is how did the 49ers not know Radz tried to use the ground as collateral when they own a significant portion of it? Surely, they would have to agree for the charge to be made against the ground?



I wouldn't be surprised if getting the loan would have meant the 49ers being notified of it, so Radz then backed out of it to try and keep it underwraps.



I also wouldn't be surprised if th 49ers were the ones who leaked it to the Athletic. With Radz's bridges now completly burned with the fans, and his position being about as untenable as it gets, it probably puts extra pressure on Radz to sell.

It tells you a lot about the man and how out of his depth he is. He has acted alone here when he simply should not have done. Graham Smyth was saying yesterday that the 49ers wanted the deal done by the weekend. This possibly delays this but lets see. if it does delay matters, yet again Radrizannis actions negatively impact the club.

Delays at this stage could be critical. The fact Radz didn't tell ANYONE that he was prepared to leverage the ground is baffling and infuriating, with a buyer in the wings who probably want a sale agreed and him out of the way this is a really poor show.



Also Big Sam not staying. Not that Im surprised.

Its treating the club and its fans with utter contempt. He needs to sell the club yesterday! There is not a cat in hells chance we are going up next season if this drags on another week or two.

According to the guardian, the club have a 4 man manager shortlist:



Rodgers

Potter

Corberan

Le Bris (Loriant) France



I'd take any of the top 3. Although, Le Bris had a really good first season in Lige 1. I don't think Leeds can afford such a big gamble, though

just can't see potter coming. and at least Gerrard isn't on it!

Be happy with any of them. Top 3 ideally

So we’re 1 week on from relegation and still no clarity from Radrizanni as to whether he’s staying or selling, no manager and no DOF…. Lovely… transfer Window opens in 10 days…



it’s gone a touch quiet re the takeover, the possibility of it being done by this weekend gone hasn’t materialised..

I'm sure plenty is happening behind the scenes

I’m sure it is Tad but speed is of the absolute essence. It wouldn’t do any harm in a statement clarifying what’s going on either for the players and fans sake. It’s not as if there’s a confidential agreement between the buying party, we all know clearly who they are.

if nothing is finalised this week its time to start worrying

I`m pretty sure they are working on it as we speak.

The stumbling block is likely to be what the 49s want to pay with Radz maybe wanting to hold on to some of his shares.

In the meantime players agents will be looking for better deals elsewhere.

Like Tad has said if its not sorted by the end of this week we should be worried.
