Simon Jordan offers Will Ferrell Leeds United investment verdict amid 'no wonder' claim

Talksport presenter and former Crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan believes Will Ferrell's investment in Leeds United cannot be a bad thing. The Hollywood superstar's status as a minority investor in 49ers Enterprises was confirmed earlier this week with Ferrell becoming the latest high profile personality to be connected to the Whites. He follows the likes of Russell Crowe, Russell Westbrook, Jordan Spieth, Michael Phelps, Justin Thomas and a host of other US-based athletes and figures.

'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. Culturally, it also tells you just how popular football, as entertainment, has become. 'Football is the modern day rock and roll. It's front page, back page, everywhere. Football has become a very different business.
