Leeds United chairman Paraag Marathe is the president of 49ers Enterprises, the business wing of the successful San Francisco 49ers franchise and has been playing a key role in talks over investment in Gers.

Marathe has been working with fellow American businessman Andrew Cavenagh on a deal to buy out some of the current Rangers board members. The NFL chief is the right-hand man to 49ers supremo Jed York whose family fortune is estimated at around $6billion is also chairman of Leeds United,

There is “broad agreement” between all parties, with current shareholders expected to sell all, or part, of their stake in the club in the coming months. The prospective owners would acquire more than 50% of the Rangers shares while taking on the debt, much of it owed to former chairman John Bennett.
