I've just listened to Paraag Marathe, President of 49ers Enterprises. What an inspirational man the passion in his voice made the hairs on the back of my neck stick up.

Re: Radrizzani Completes Takeover
When James was a 10 year old I took my school team to play against his (Westbrook Lane in Horsforth where my wife was a teacher - she's now the Head). James' coach was a certain Jon Moss now a premier league referee and a good friend of mine from when we worked together at Jon's previous school - I mentored him as a new teacher. At the game Jon told me he had a player who was absolutely going to make it. I asked him which one and he pointed out James. I put three men on him and told them to follow him wherever he went. We won 4-2! James however, was amazing, he wanted to take every corner, free kick etc. He was an outstanding player whose team mates just couldn't keep up. I have since watched his career with a keen interest. He is a great professional who has conducted himself so well during his career. I hope he will come back to finish his career as the Captain of Leeds United. Jon has done pretty well too! I sincerely hope James gets his Champions League winners medal tomorrow.Ricardo Da Lepp wrote:Very good article. Thanks for posting the link!marziale wrote:Times interview today with James Milner.

Rumours that the 49's are set to take over at Leeds & Radz is selling hence no players brought in. Apparently the £10m was a deposit a message of intent. I'm not sure if I believe this button would explain why no monies have been spent. I must admit most of Radz's energies go into his TV company at the moment.

Re: Radrizzani Completes Takeover
I don't believe there's anything new happening in ownership area, I just think we've been less active in buying/borrowing players than all of us would like. That SF rumour just seems to be someone personally speculating and other people taking it as a reliable 'source', it makes no sense to me TBH.

Thanks for the response ANS I just thought it warranted a mention. Things are slow on the incoming side that's why I thought there might be a grain of truth in it. No smoke & all that...

Totally agree mate. I hear they're still hopeful of a signing this week but I've no idea who it is!NottinghamWhite wrote:Thanks for the response ANS I just thought it warranted a mention.
