Will Ferrell's investment Leeds United is not 'anything sinister or concerning'

Hollywood actor Will Ferrell buying a minority stake in Leeds United can only be a good thing for the Championship club, according to Talksport presenter Simon Jordan. It emerged over the weekend that Ferrell has joined the list of celebrity investors in the Whites.

It is thought Ferrell will not be a decision maker at Elland Road. The 56-year-old is a part-owner of Major League Soccer franchise Los Angeles FC. Writing in his Daily Mail column, former Crystal Palace owner Jordan said: “Will Ferrell, with his newly-acquired minority stake in Leeds United, is the latest Hollywood star after Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney to invest in our game and their presence in English football naturally creates headlines and generates clicks. Ferrell’s investment is further proof that sport is now undeniably part of the entertainment industry.

“In this day and age of digital content, famous football fans or investors help with engagement and recognisability so if Ferrell is running around America as a Leeds shareholder, the club will, as proven by Wrexham, be more visible. That can’t be a bad thing.”
