00:00 I think it's reassuring to fans that with all these names, there will be an element of
00:06 scepticism from Leeds fans about why anyone's putting money into their club. Is it just a
00:11 play thing? Is it because they want to see a massive return on their investment? Or are they
00:16 actually genuinely interested in Leeds? But I think it's reassuring for supporters that the
00:21 actual decision-making power lies in the hands of the board. It's not a Zoom call of 60 people
00:30 all having a vote on whether Farker stays or goes, or whether they go and sign
00:37 Glenn Kamara. The board ultimately makes the decisions and then puts that decision-making
00:45 power into the hands of the football people at the club. Investors have their say. They all
00:50 get to have discussions, but the board makes all the calls. So yeah, it shouldn't be a case of
00:57 too many six-foot-eight, 300-pound cooks spoiling the broth.
