So the rumours of F1 investment into the club are gathering. Seems like Doug is tapping up Ayao and Christian…

Christian the wealthiest out of the 2 and also has the Red Bull link.

Would Red Bull be able to invest with their investment in Leeds

Is Christian Horner Also an Equity Shareholder at Red Bull Like Arch Rival Toto Wolff?

Let's take a look at the influence of Christian Horner on Red Bull and if that influence has resulted in equity stake in the team similar to Toto Wolff.

Must be a minority stake. Their reward would multiply from promotion.

If they invest he's offered to drive for them at the next Monaco grand prix, King of shaves in the pit, seems fair.

The car livery will be the same as the home kit every season.

Instead of a whistle they will be a light system installed the match starts when the light goes green. Referee and assistants will be issued with various flags. Yellow to warn of incident. Red to stop the match. If there is an incident we can play on behind a safety player who will regain possession of the ball until the incident is cleared up.

If Christian Horner is on board it means there's a chance we could have both a Loose Woman and a Spice Girl in attendance. Halcyon days ahead

I spoke to Horner two years ago - at a social event - and I joked that we were the only two Coventry City supporters in the room…

He looked at me blankly, and then explained that his Grandfather was on the Board many years before, so he has a defacto association, but it was clear he wasn’t a fan. He knew literally nothing about the management / squad.

So, at least in terms of Horner’s involvement, I would file this under nonsense…

Nothing in it whatsoever

Someones taken the fact Doug is trying to get investors in, and our 2 'most famous fans being Komatsu and Horner and made it up

I am a huge F1 fan and can tell you categorically that Komatsu / Haas don't have a pot to piss in in F1 terms

Horner, yes he has a decent personal wealth but nothing tantamount to being able to invest in the club. Also, Red Bull part own Leeds so rules and conflict of interest rule that one out entirely

Yes, Doug is after external investors but if anyone thinks it's F1 related then I'd like you to buy these magic beans I've got

They’ve been running two teams in F1 so know how to get around rules and get what they want. Very strong brand, so would be interesting, though will not hold my breath here.

Red Bull have a “minority” stake in Leeds. They also have stakes in RB Leipzig, FC Salzburg , New York Red Bulls & Bragantino. They are looking to invest in more global teams including English teams, preferably in the PL.

This is obviously complete fantasy lol. For so many reasons. Komatsu isn’t particularly rich. Horner slightly more, but red bull already have their teams, plus an involvement with Leeds, so it makes little sense.

Leeds aren’t called Red Bull Leeds.

To be honest, personally I couldn’t care if it meant we had bags of cash, could afford to bring in top quality infrastructure all the way through the club and got back to the prem and played good football.

What's the exact opposite of a Smart car?

Because whatever it is, that's our fanbase.

Haas are a huge American machine tools firm mainly focused on NASCAR in sport. They certainly have funds but focused on motor sport. Maybe Ayo could talk them into it with all the American investment in football.

Must be because it’s a minority because Salzburg are.

Bags of cash doesn’t quite mean what it used to be PSR but I get your point.
