In an interview with WorldSoccer.com Portsmouth chairman, Sulaiman Al-Fahim was asked which three clubs would represent the best value for money for someone looking to move into the English game and he put Leeds United third behind Portsmouth and West Ham.

To quote directly from the interview it reads;

For someone looking to buy into a football club, which three represent the best value for money?
Looking at football clubs now, with £100m, it would be Portsmouth, Portsmouth and Portsmouth! They would be first. Second would be West Ham United, third Leeds United.

With billionaires seeing a Premier League club as the ultimate accessory, Leeds United would be a shrewd move for any prospective buyer. A massive fanbase, one-club city and vast amounts of potential for development. Leeds United should be seen as an ideal investment for any billionaires in search of a football club as it would be an investment with a lot more chance of turning a profit than most clubs given the smaller price it could be purchased for and the huge fanbase.

In the Arabian Business magazine, Al Fahim was voted the fourth most influencial Arab in the world, so this is a massive nod from a region full of bored oil-rich billionaires.
