Angus Kinnear's frank admission on Leeds United investment prospects and the club's current strategy

Leeds United's finances are always a hot topic among the Elland Road faithful. The stability the club has seen since the arrival of Andrea Radrizzani - and departure of former owner Massimo Cellino - goes some way to ease the minds of fans, though Andrea's next business move will be no doubt always be watched closely.

Investment from the San Francisco 49ers was a measure of the Italian's willingness to work with others to achieve Leeds United's goal, and since then rumours of further investment have been ripe.

Speaking to BBC Radio Leeds this week, CEO Angus Kinnear was quizzed on this very subject, and made clear the startegy in place on the Leeds United board. Patience.

"We’re not desperate for investment but Andrea’s always been very clear on this and that is that he’s prepared to bring a partner on board if he feels they are going to take the club more quickly in the right direction, and in a more sustainable fashion.

 'I think we’re one of the most investable propositions in world football now'

"So it’s not surprising that we have lots of interest because I think we’re one of the most investable propositions in world football now, we’re a one-club city, we’ve got a fantastic stadium, we’ve got a fantastic supporter base.

"Everybody knows that we should be playing in the Premier League. So there’s interest all around the world in terms of investing, but Andrea and I, we’re being patient.

"We’re waiting for the right person, we’re waiting for the right deal and in making sure it’s something we can work with in the long term."
