Daniel Stewart has been left raging as Leeds United announced that they’ve arrived at a multi-year agreement with beverage company Red Bull.
The Whites confirmed, via their official website on 30 May that they will also be a front-of-shirt sponsor from next season.
It’s also understood that they will own a minority stake in the West Yorkshire club.
Via Twitter, Stewart, an actor, wrote: “Look, there are much bigger clubs than us with absolutely despicable owners and sponsors. Guilty of horrible human rights abuses. But I can’t see the Leeds fans getting behind this. Most hated brand in Europe. And we better not have those stupid cows on the front of our shirts.”
Reb Bull’s involvement may actually be a good thing for Leeds United
The multi-year agreement and the front-of-shirt sponsorship will bring significant financial resources to the club.
This influx of capital can help Leeds strengthen their squad, invest in infrastructure and potentially seal promotion next season.
The minority stake not only brings additional capital but also demonstrates Red Bull’s commitment to the club’s success.
This investment can help Leeds United navigate financial challenges, such as unpaid transfer fees and potentially aid their push for promotion to the Premier League.
Red Bull have a proven track record of successfully managing and developing sports teams, as seen with their ownership of other football clubs like RB Leipzig and Red Bull Salzburg.
This expertise could be beneficial in improving Leeds United’s sporting performance and overall club management.
The partnership with a globally recognised brand, can increase Leeds United’s visibility and potentially attract more fans and sponsors.
