American and Leeds fan here. Rest assured, Paraag will absolutely guide Leeds back near the top of the Premier League. In the last 5 years the 49ers have become one of the savviest and most successful teams in the NFL. They have probably the deepest roster (squad) in the league. He has been instrumental in the renaissance and I think he can do the same at Leeds
Well he was an important part of the decision making of Leeds in the last 2 Yrs, not bringing bielsa players, sacking bielsa, hiring Jesse, overpaying for all the american low level players, etc etc… so, what are you talking about!!! He was the Leeds VP and Board Member for + 2 yrs!’
correct, he knows exactly what to do and how to act. even when he was asked will you be looking to make Leeds big in the USA, he emphasised the priority was here not there.
apart from the fact that he didn't know what to do when we were relegated. Surely there was a plan in place for the transition to the EFL?, it is a very basic part of a risk assessment. Should be now planning for various EFL outcomes, such as relegation, promotion and mid table - plans should always be in place for multi-million pound businesses.
@@peakmeditation7659 how did he not know what to do? Radz was being awkward trying to get the best price then the EFL ratification process was long. That's all at no ones fault except Radz for being arsey.
@@peakmeditation7659 i think its because its not up to him only ... to make sure a plan radz will have to be involved .... i can imagine radz insisting relegation is not possible lol
I could listen to paraag all day, he is so articulate, passionate, honest & enthusiastic, he also gets what it means to be a Leeds United fan, can not wait for the season to begin. MOT
Bloody hell, he's impressive. Love his enthusiasm. Clearly very bright, he also seems authentic and likeable. An inspiring guy. Interesting what he said about Farke too.
@@hudson7354 Hmm, maybe 😀 I’m giving him time. Let’s see who he replaces Adams, Harrison and Gnonto with. Ampadu looks good. Not an Orta signing. Also waiting on ER plans.
The fact he took the time out of his extemely busy life to do a podcast like this for the fans speaks volumes of the kind of man he is. Seems very professional and knowledgeable. Fingers crossed.
Really happy with his excitement - I hope he backs his talk with action. We all want to see an upgraded Elland Road roaring in the Champions League again. Lets see the foundations for a more professional, efficient club model be built rather than the borderline amateur and frankly immature governance we've had at times over the past decade. Let's get it done 49ers.
How nice is it to have someone who’s genuinely, open and honest and cares for Leeds United and the community of Leeds. Very impressive interview. M.O.T. A.L.A.W. 💛💙
Oh Wow, just WOW!!! This guy just fills me with confidence for the future of our club. He seems so passionate, focussed and determined. I love his comments around the process they went through to appoint DF, and I’m now much more confident that we’ve got the right manager, the right back room team and the right chairman! Let’s just see what we end up with as a squad (looks like the youth teams are getting well supported too which can only be a good thing for the future). LETS GO LEEDS MOT !!!
Good first impressions hopefully it works. Americans are very positive people that will help. I want in supporting Leeds to be enjoyable again because it hasn't been that way for 17 of the last 20yrs.
I'm feeling really emotional listening to what our new chairman is saying & cannot wait to see where we go from here " Love My Leeds" & always will do .. MOT
Feel very confident and comfortable with this man behind working the scenes with 💯 percent ownership. Seems very genuine down to earth and passionate about leeds united. And wht it means to be leeds. Its what we need. All leeds arent we 🙏
Fair play to Paraag for doing an interview, he didn't need to do that and it was needed after all the silence. But please, don't be in the public eye all the time, we don't want or need another Radrizanni. Keep a low profile, keep your head down, and reap the rewards. MOT.
Ok I like this guy, all too often the chairmen of clubs are so disconnected from the DNA and fabric of the club they lose sight of what the fans see and feel. Paraag pretty much nailed it about what makes Leeds Leeds. I like his ambition, and particularly his thoughts on the stadium, it's vital we keep that atmosphere at ER regardless of how it's expanded. Here's to a long successful guardianship with him and his team at the helm.
seems like a very open, intelligent and competent person. gets the club and its fans. sounds like he may have learnt alot of what not to do from the last owners. realises the importance of hiring people who are experts in their area and let them do their job. Really looking forward to seeing him and his team take us forward. MOT
I know it's just 30 minutes & it has been edited.... But this guy gets it, you can see that a mile off. Let's hope he can walk the walk! 🙏 Very impressed with him and this interview
Fantastic introduction to a motivated man who clearly knows what he is aiming for. Can be hopeful for great success and being a regular top premier league team,. He brings an amazing CV and is very humble. Brilliant acquisition . ALAW
Spoke so well, was very pleased to hear him speak the way he day. Good things to come hopefully, all takes time to build the building blocks, but lets get behind them and the team and we should be fine ALAW
An excellent listen! “Inspired” and “Ruthless” are terms he uses and that is fine by me when it comes to making our club successful again. Welcome Paraag and I’m absolutely positive Leeds United are in very capable and professional hands! We are Leeds! We are San Francisco!
Best of Luck - Paraag, big challanges ahead. Thanks Andrea for eveything you did for Leeds. Some great memories over the past 6 years, last season was a nightmare, best of luck to you both. MOT
Parag is saying all the right things and it’s all true what he says, and being of south Asian descent he knows FOOTBALL,not soccer plus he’s played the game and is a football fan. Now let’s do this!!
Hate to tell you this but he’s calling it football because he knows he has fans like you that judge someone based on what they call the sport 😂. Fun fact, it was England which first called it soccer. 😂😂😂
Fantastically well orchestrated interview - bravo Matt. Torn between shear excitement for the first match of the season and wanting this transfer window to stick around for us to get the best squad possible. MOT
Finally a guy that genuinly has leeds at heart lets hope players take on board what hes doing fr the club and get this club straight bk up again we are far to big a name not to be premier club so lets all stick together hopefully nxt may were bk up again
Great to listen to. He sounds as if he's exactly what we need to get us back where we belong. I'm looking forward to seeing Leeds deliver over the next few seasons. He's set a high bar to achieve. I hope he leads us in the right direction.
Incredibly impressed, i like the cut of his jib. I want to see a ruthless streak as well to Paraag, too many have been allowed to coast at the club over the past couple of years. He won't tolerate anyone who isnt fully committed to the project either on or off the pitch.
For years we have scratched our heads watching billionaires buy clubs who are no where near the size of Leeds United and the potential we have, and no one has ever looked at us, i always thought one day someone would see the potential a one club city with a massive fan base had , i honestly think we have just got the owners we have been craving. A diamond waiting to be cut and polished. The future looks bright.
Fair to say the 49ers silence has frustrated this past few years, but now Paraag is at the wheel, hearing this interview, I am convinced he is the right man for the role alongside his team of investors. You can sense his passion, but Radz had that too. But you can sense he has the borader commercial qualities Radz was lacking. He seems like a level above Radz in his skillset. Kudos to Matt for the interview style. Spot on and sets the perfect tone for whatever is to come in the weeks, months and years ahead. Makes you wonder how Paraag would have worked with Bielsa, and what the outcome could have been with the right backing and right players. But now, in Farke we trust.
Love the interview and if things keep moving i have high hopes for the season. Football os unpredictable but i reckon we will be back within 2 years if not thia season.
Brilliant in every way. Loved this, seems we have the perfect man at the healm. I feel lifted, inspired and full of belief. And i'm sure our squad will as well, though even more so once we secure at least a couple more vital additions, and hopefully with Tyler at the heart of it all, yet someone else who's equally brilliant, if Tyler can't be persuaded to stick around. MOT
This is a competent owner with track record of sporting success as good as it gets when it comes to owners…the ampadu transfer is a great start…good young player with potential secured at a lower than expected fees
leadership, level of detail, meticulousness, ability to inspire, I wonder if there recently was a manager who had those traits and would have been willing to work with Leeds...
Great news - hopefully a degree of professionalism will improve the club both in the stadium facilities and the quality of the squad. We also need to play a brand of football that can compare with the early time of Marcello Bielsa which was so exciting for the fans. We can get promoted this year or next season with 49rs support. 👏👍
Paraag is totally committed to Leeds United 🦚 total respect for taking on a massive rebuild seems like an honest Man and a Humble man feeling positive already thing's moving at a fast pace feeling positive for the first time since Mr Bielsa 🇦🇷 first became manager onwards and upwards come on Leeds keep fighting all Leeds aren't we marching on together we all love Leeds 🤍💛💙 good to see how and what he wants to do for LEEDS UNITED football club he will learn quickly and hopefully get Leeds United on the right track 🤩😍🤝 Respect Paraag LEEDS UNITED 🦚 has taken your SOUL just like me and thousands of other Leeds United Supporter's around the world 🌍 once you support LEEDS UNITED 🤍💛💙 it grabs your SOUL you Never look back UPS AND DOWNS forever All Leeds aren't we 🦚🇮🇨👊🤍💛💙
A v.impressive guy - now, let’s walk the walk. Like most folks on here, I yearn for a stable, consistent, professionally well-run club and team - can we now progress as we should have from (ulp!) Paris ‘75? Fingers and everything else crossed here for sure! 🤞🤞🇮🇪
Enjoyed hearing a good slice of optimism mixed with realism. Don’t think we’re being soft soaped here. For what it’s worth I think I believe that this guy is genuine and we’re in safe hands…. Off the pitch anyhow. Now. Let’s keep our best players and stop fannying around letting players go on miserable fees. Let’s have some honour from players serving out their contracts with us.
Great interview, great guy, he's ALL Leeds for sure. Two points to note, what he saved in buying us as a Champ club ,$280m, goes a long way to the rebuild then add 100 at $10m each super rich American sports super stars pays for the rest.
American and Leeds fan here. Rest assured, Paraag will absolutely guide Leeds back near the top of the Premier League.

Don't tease me with a good time 😍

It’s all about Baltimore & Ray Lewis for me. MOT.
Well he was an important part of the decision making of Leeds in the last 2 Yrs, not bringing bielsa players, sacking bielsa, hiring Jesse, overpaying for all the american low level players, etc etc… so, what are you talking about!!! He was the Leeds VP and Board Member for + 2 yrs!’
He just oozes professionalism and competence. Exactly what the club needs
correct, he knows exactly what to do and how to act. even when he was asked will you be looking to make Leeds big in the USA, he emphasised the priority was here not there.

A guy who knows what it's like to be a Leeds fan and he's in charge 😊
got goose bumps listening to him . this is the new beginning
He’s actually very astute when he says “there’s something different about Leeds”.
It’s just telling fans what they want to hear. We’re just another football club. Every club thinks they’re unique.
