Why did Lowy invest in Leeds

The Don't Go To Bed Just Yet team have conducted a lengthy interview with Peter Lowy, Leeds United director and large investor.

In it, he discusses how and why he became involved in the club in 2023.

"There were two main reasons I invested in the club," explains Lowy.

"One was because of what happened when the club went into administration, it never had the investment that the club should have for a club in the city and the size of Leeds.

"By the time we got there, it was the only big franchise left in England that had any value in it.

"We had no interest in buying Chelsea for £2.5bn, no offence to the buyers or seller, I just didn't see the value in it for us.

"But when you look at Leeds, because of the difficulty the club has had, you had a fantastic franchise and an incredible football club that was totally under-invested in."
