da leao： Brexit, Brexit, Brexit. No doubt you’re sick of hearing about it in your regular daily news updates, but now it’s translating over to your sporting feed as well.
We apologise in advance for talking about it, but it seems that Brexit could have huge ramifications on Leeds United’s future as it seems to be a bit of a stumbling block for QSI as their interest in purchasing a stake in the Yorkshire club continues.

What’s the story then?
ESPN have reported that QSI are edging closer to striking a deal with Andrea Radrizzani to invest in Leeds United, but as always, there are a few issues that need ironing out.
The article states that the Qataris have some reservations about investing into Leeds while the terms of the United Kingdom leaving the European Union are still up in the air, and that may mean that January investment from the Qataris is completely off the table.
Brexit issues
You don’t need us to tell you that the current political landscape in the UK is a bit all over the place.
In fact, ‘a bit all over the place’ doesn’t do it justice. To put it plainly it’s a mess, and unfortunately, it’s a one that isn’t going to be sorted anytime soon.
No matter the result of next month’s general election, the earliest the UK will be leaving the EU at this point is the 31st of January, and even that date is far from guaranteed.
No matter your personal political persuasion, if you’re a Leeds fan that will come as a particular annoyance as if QSI are waiting for the conclusion of Brexit to decide whether or not to invest in Leeds, they’re not going to have a chance to inject any cash during the upcoming January transfer window.
Whether it’s the Conservatives or Labour who are victorious in next months election, this mess won’t be sorted before the end of January. If QSI’s reservations about Brexit are as strong as ESPN’s article suggests then Leeds’ hopes of boosting their promotion bid through money from Qatar has taken a big blow.
