Leeds United missed out on promotion last season as Southampton pipped them to the final Premier League spot available in the Championship play-off final. However, the Whites will be hoping to kick on next season and get back into the big time at the second time of asking.
The 49ers Enterprises have big plans for Leeds, but projects such as stadium redevelopment hinge on securing top flight status. That is the clear aim this season then with Paraag Marathe throwing his support behind Daniel Farke to get the job done.
Since the chairman made that statement, the club have seen Red Bull come on board as minority investors. The energy drink company will also feature as the club’s main sponsor on next season’s shirt.
With that in mind, here’s a look at how the combined net worth of Leeds United’s owners, including Red Bull owners Mark Mateschitz and Chalerm Yoovidhya, compares to all 20 Premier League clubs.
