Closing era, Leeds proprietor Andrea Radrizzani reached an word to promote his stake within the membership to 49ers Enterprises.
“Relegation wasn’t ideal, but we got involved with the 49ers group about purchasing a larger share and getting in with them doing things so successfully as they do everywhere they’ve touched,” three-time main winner Spieth informed Sky Sports activities.
“We thought it would be a cool opportunity. It’s a big city, historic club, great venue in Elland Road, and once we looked into it we realised it could be really exciting.
“[The 49ers] renegotiated nearest relegation and it was once most likely a greater do business in — so long as they are able to get promoted [to the Premier League] quickly.”
Leeds were relegated to the second-tier Championship at the end of the 2022-23 season, which Spieth said led to Rickie Fowler pulling out.
“It’s finished. Myself and Justin with a minority stake. The 49ers beat my [Dallas] Cowboys each and every month, so if you’ll be able to’t beat ’em, secured ’em,” Spieth said when asked about the deal, which will undergo checks by the English Football League.
“Rickie determined towards it nearest relegation.”
