    American and Leeds fan here. Rest assured, Paraag will absolutely guide Leeds back near the top of the Premier League. In the last 5 years the 49ers have become one of the savviest and most successful teams in the NFL. They have probably the deepest roster (squad) in the league. He has been instrumental in the renaissance and I think he can do the same at Leeds

      Well he was an important part of the decision making of Leeds in the last 2 Yrs, not bringing bielsa players, sacking bielsa, hiring Jesse, overpaying for all the american low level players, etc etc… so, what are you talking about!!! He was the Leeds VP and Board Member for + 2 yrs!’

      apart from the fact that he didn't know what to do when we were relegated. Surely there was a plan in place for the transition to the EFL?, it is a very basic part of a risk assessment. Should be now planning for various EFL outcomes, such as relegation, promotion and mid table - plans should always be in place for multi-million pound businesses.

Paraag pretty much nailed it about what makes Leeds Leeds. I like his ambition, and particularly his thoughts on the stadium, it's vital we keep that atmosphere at ER regardless of how it's expanded.

    Fair to say the 49ers silence has frustrated this past few years, but now Paraag is at the wheel, hearing this interview, I am convinced he is the right man for the role alongside his team of investors. You can sense his passion, but Radz had that too. But you can sense he has the borader commercial qualities Radz was lacking. He seems like a level above Radz in his skillset. Kudos to Matt for the interview style. Spot on and sets the perfect tone for whatever is to come in the weeks, months and years ahead. Makes you wonder how Paraag would have worked with Bielsa, and what the outcome could have been with the right backing and right players. But now, in Farke we trust.
