Hollywood star Will Ferrell has invested in Leeds United via 49ers Enterprises in the latest of a string of high-profile names to get behind the Elland Road project

Headlines will always be made when a film star of Will Ferrell’s standing is confirmed as an investor in a football club. For fans of Leeds United and the Anchorman star, it’s a meeting of minds, a crossing of streams, a fantasy world where two of your favourite things combine in a haze of dopamine.

And yet, for all of the buzz created by this story, first reported in the national media on Saturday night, not a whole lot changes for the Whites. They are still looking down the barrel of a play-off lottery that will make or break the next 12 months, they are still shackled by financial fair play and they still have the same people calling the shots in the boardroom.

Many of the biggest names backing the 49ers vehicle have gone public with their investment and support of the Whites, but very few of them have been seen at Elland Road up to now. It’s entirely up to Ferrell how high-profile he wants to make this recent outlay.
