We can't take a trick... Why couldn't it be the 69s?... Happy for them to have a seat on anything they desire!

Here's what our MD said earlier:

“It’s a meaningful sum.

“It will definitely make us more competitive this summer, without a doubt. And I think it will bring the type of players that Leeds fans want and believe will make a difference in terms of mounting a sustained promotion challenge.”

Suggestions its £10m, nice to have.

Wonder how many foreigners the 49rs have recruited over the years?

I heard a rumour that it was around £15 million, add to that the whole revenue for season ticket sales & new sponsorship deals which AR has already stated will be spent on strenthening the squad then it will be a tidy sum indeed

Jut one of many "reports";

But we won't know for sure whatever sum it was (unless it gets published in accounts some time in the future.

Just hope it does get used to fund quality, not quantity (and to support how we bring the youngsters through.

We can only hope. He has stated the invested money will be used to "improve on field performance". So yes that means they need to get the quality, not just spend it to justify having them on board.

I wish 'my' Dallas Nfl team would take over Barnsley because the owner/chairman Jerry Jones seriously has more money than sense and we could do with some of that. The only drawback to that is it means we'd have to be called Cowboys rather than Tykes, so no change there then.

How would a Leeds team feature in the NFL ?


The Dirty Leeds team of Don Revie's from the 70's might well have cut it? Though I understand that even the NFL has rules about excessive violence which might've caused them a problem.lol
