I'm quite impressed with how little fuss was made over this
rather momentous acquisition.

Stadium returns to the club.
Leeds United are delighted to announce that Greenfield Investment Pte
Ltd, an Aser Group company and parent company of Leeds United Football
Club Limited, has completed the purchase of Elland Road Stadium.
The Old Peacock Ground has been our home since 1919 and today's
announcement will see the stadium return to the club for the first time
since it was sold in 2004, during a period of financial difficulty.
Speaking on this historical acquisition, Chairman Andrea Radrizzani
said: “Today is an important day in our history and a proud day for me
and my team.
“When I met with both management and supporters during my first few
months at the club, the purchase of Elland Road was very high on their
list of priorities and I'm delighted to be able to announce that we have
completed that process today.”
Leader of Leeds City Council, Councillor Judith Blake also commented on
the purchase of Elland Road, stating: “It is fantastic news that the
club have confirmed the buy-back of Elland Road Stadium.
“This is an extremely positive step in the right direction for everyone
associated with Leeds United and especially the club’s tremendous and
loyal fans.
“As we prepare for the new season to begin in August, I very much
welcome the intent being shown by Andrea to move the club forward with
real purpose and ambition.”
Work to improve and update Elland Road has already begun and will be
completed by the start of the season.
