    Leeds have announced a strategic partnership with the NFL’s San Francisco 49ers.
    Representatives of the American team will travel to Leeds to discuss aspects of the club’s business.
    Leeds managing director David Haigh told the club’s official website: 'This is a strategic partnership and we’re looking forward to working closely with the 49ers.

    They are a worldwide brand, and we’ll be discussing all aspects of our business; marketing, ticketing, merchandising, and commercial opportunities, and hopefully tapping into and sharing knowledge with them.'
    Chief operating officer of the 49ers Paraag Marathe also told www.leedsunited.com: 'The 49ers are very excited about the prospect of partnering with Leeds United, a club with an international following as well as great history and tradition.
    'We look forward to sharing best practices with Leeds United and providing them with our perspective on the sports industry. This is an exciting opportunity for us to link up with an English football club and learn from each other.'


    I have no idea who owns Leeds now or how this will match up.

    They will probably transfer the TWS players to SF. After all, they know f**k all about football.

    It'll be Leeds 49ers soon then.
    The 49 will refer to the number of years before they're back in the prem. Hopefully.

    Ludicrous. "International following"??? Where?? As for "best practices"..sounds like a bunch of investment bankers will be running the club. God help the Leeds supporters.

    God help the 49ers more like. Either there's some links in the new Leeds ownership, or someone's been spinning them some right royal bullshit.

    TWS might do better after a coaching section with the 49'er's, and start throwing the ball.
