The 49ers Enterprises will back Leeds United financially so they can spend this summer if they fail to return to the Premier League.
Daniel Farke 's side finished the season in third place, six points behind Ipswich Town who joined Leicester City in the top flight. Leeds have failed to gain promotion from their previous five play-off campaigns. It has emerged that that Hollywood superstar Will Ferrell has invested in the club, joining the likes of Russell Crowe, Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas. And despite the worrying issue surrounding the owed transfer fees, Maguire believes that the 49ers will ensure the club can invest in the summer.
“Leeds do have a serious cash flow issue in terms of what they owe to other clubs for previous signings so that will stop them spending big this summer unless they sell. “But I think the 49ers are too big of a brand to not give the club appropriate levels of support and they will know that there will be backlash if they fail to do so.“
