Genuinely no disrespect intended, but due to the long term mis-management at Leeds I see them falling from the forefront of the clubs that wealthy foreign investors are considering.
I appreciate its only my opinion and I hope I'm wrong, but there I believe there is an under performing culture which has developed at the club that needs to be reversed before attracting the money bags.
Although the likes of Aston Villa and Newcastle United (when they're for sale) are going through rough times, the clubs themselves are considered Premier League clubs and as such the reversal in fortunes would only take a tinker rather than an unpredictable wholesale change and it is the likes of these clubs where I believe this guy's money will be spent.
Genuine good luck for the future though guys
I don't see how that would stop a billionaires investment really. leeds will always be a promising deal. the past three owners will be quickly forgotten once real money comes in.
Leeds is a big club, with a long history and a decent squad setup. Also possess a large and famous fan base, as well as being the only team in one of the largest and most vibrant cities in Britian.
All these lead us to be an attractive proposition to any would be owner of a championship football club.
It will take half a billion to get us competing at top 4 in Prem level.
That's probably the easy bit though, the hard part is trying to persuade GFH and Cellino to leave.
Don't get me wrong, I agree with all you say - Leeds is a massive city with an incredible potential fan base, however, my point is that potential investors don't so much see a sleeping giant, but more an old dinosaur that it is impossible to breathe life into.
I know these words will appear cruel and I'm sorry for that - For what its worth the great name of Leeds United has been dragged through the mud by incompetents and neer-do-wells at the helm for far too long and you deserve far better - Its just that there's no attraction for your new support and they may be lost to LUFC forever unless fortunes can be turned around immediately - Nothing would give me greater pleasure to see you do it though
He seems to be a perfect match for us.

that's funny - Only Leeds United would do it that way

Yeah, the facts that were in debt, don't own our ground or training ground and haven't been in the top flight for over a decade make a us a great proposition.
Unfortunately there are plenty of examples of clubs who won something once and then fell into decline and were never able to recover properly.
The longer we're out of the top flight and the new normal sets in, the harder it will be to ever get back there and this is what i resent current and previous owners for the most, holding us back to such a degree that it means we start to lose realistic chance of ever being a force in English football again.
