Who's in charge.

The CV of Mr Cline-Thomas is somewhat in need of an update as it currently reads:



Seemingly wrong on both counts and what's with "the" Leeds United Football Club?

Shall i put you forward for a role as Leeds United's grammatical "connoisseur" in their current recruitment drive Ubi ? 😂

The blokes knows how to make a bob or two out of sport negotiating.

His organisation Mastry made headlines in a bigger way in February of this year when it acquired a majority stake in Athletes First, a firm which represents American Football players in the NFL. Cline-Thomas, at a stroke, became chairman of Athletes First, moving to the top of the NFL’s biggest agency.

In the US, his connections to the sporting world are obvious. But in England, and away from Leeds, he has already been involved in another football investment, not unlike the process through which 49ers Enterprises initially bought its way into United in 2018. Last August, a US fund by the name of Argyle Green negotiated the purchase of a 20 per cent stake of Plymouth Argyle for £4million. Cline-Thomas was named among the investors backing the purchase.

Argyle won promotion from League One in the season that followed, claiming the title, and they now share a division with Leeds. To comply with EFL regulations and to avoid any conflict of interest as part of 49ers Enterprises’ takeover, Cline-Thomas cut his ties by disposing of his small stake in Plymouth and gifting it back to the Devon club. It cleared the way for Leeds to install him as a director.

If this week pans out as it should then looks like. 49ers clearly are in change and have a plan.

Gnonto dealt with firmly but without histrionics.
Sinnisterra back and available.
Finally a striker through the door.
Farke speaking of incomings plural not just one more.

Will properly judge once the window is closed and 8 games in but showing encouraging signs of leadership and sensible strategy.

I like what Farke says. He's no fool.

[Rev72]

He's a cool motherfarke

[BelfastAndy]

Just wish he would pause a little more when he talks. I can feel myself breathing heavier to ensure he doesn't run out! 😃
