Leeds United chairman Paraag Marathe has previously spoken about 49ers Enterprises desire to make improvements to Elland Road
Leeds United’s owners could be looking at a bill of £50 million if they’re to make the improvements they want to make to Elland Road. That’s according to former Everton and Aston Villa chief executive Keith Wyness, who believes 49ers Enterprises have big ambitions for the Whites’ stadium
Chairman Paraag Marathe spoke about redeveloping Elland Road in the aftermath of the club’s play-off defeat and revealed that the ownership group had put money aside to work on small stadium improvements. He also admitted that while talk of stadium renovation plans were dependant on the Premier League were not strictly true, he did suggest that such big plans take time to finalise.
Elland Road has needed investment for some time, with previous owner Andrea Radrizzani speaking openly about his desire to renovate the stadium, which has been the club’s home throughout it’s 105-year history and currently has a capacity of 37,792. However, it seems 49ers Enterprises have ambitions to push ahead and make the necessary improvements to the ground, but it won’t be cheap.
