Daniel Farke reacts to ‘big’ 49ers Leeds United £128m investment news

Leeds United have a new investor at the club in the form of Hollywood star Will Ferrell, who is joining with a minority stake in the club.

The 49ers have done a great job so far of restructuring Elland Road for the better, whether it’s the playing squad or the set-up of the boardroom.

Such work from the NFL franchise has ensured that Leeds remains a significant draw for celebrities looking to invest as well.

Will Ferrell has been confirmed as a new investor in Leeds, 49ers

Following Leeds’ loss at home to Southampton last weekend, it has been revealed that the club have a new investor in the majority ownership of the 49ers.

Hollywood icon Will Ferrell is the latest big name to be involved in the Elland Road set-up, with a reported net worth of $160m (£128m).

Ferrell is not expected to have a major say in the club’s proceedings, but he joins a list of notable investors in the club such as sports stars Michael Phelps, Jordan Speith, Justin Thomas, Larry Nance Jr, Russell Westbrook, as well as fellow actor. Russell Crowe.

“Grateful” – Daniel Farke reacts to Will Ferrell news

The news was a talking point for Farke as he anticipated Leeds’ trip to Norwich City for the play-off semi-final.

Speaking about Ferrell joining the club’s investment structure, Farke had this to say (via YEP):

“We need every man, it’s always good. Great actor, we’re all happy he’s on board, but I don’t think he’ll do much at Norwich to get the ball into the box. It says a lot about the caliber of the club. We are grateful for many of our well-known supporters. But it is up to the players to bring about the success. We can’t drive the ball over the line, we have to shoot it.”

As Farke says, it’s a huge draw from Leeds

Having these celebrities on board means very little if you don’t have the results to back it up, but it’s a good boost to our commercial size.

We have one of the biggest comic actors in the world on our books and that can only be a good thing for our growth going forward.

You can imagine that the moves the 49ers have made over the last year have significantly increased our chances of being a popular brand in America.
