Leeds United’s recent open letter to fans, penned by 49ers Enterprises, may have focused on the club’s Championship play-off push—but sharp-eyed readers will have noticed something more. Between the lines, a growing narrative is emerging: the 49ers are setting their sights on more than just Leeds. Their next potential football project? Rangers FC.
The letter, brimming with ambition, unity, and a long-term vision, was a clear signal of intent. While it celebrated Leeds’ progress under 49ers ownership, it also showcased a model that could be replicated. Industry whispers have already linked 49ers Enterprises with a possible investment or even a full takeover of Rangers, and the Leeds letter seems to support that trajectory.
References to “building sustainable success,” “maximising global potential,” and “investing in infrastructure and culture” read like a manifesto not just for Elland Road, but for any historic club ready for transformation. Rangers, with its vast fanbase, rich history, and untapped commercial potential, fits the profile perfectly.
The 49ers are also known for their multi-club strategy—a growing trend in global football. They’ve already tested it with Leeds, and Rangers could be next in line for integration into a wider sporting portfolio. This would give both clubs access to shared resources, scouting networks, and commercial synergies.
With Leeds pushing for Premier League promotion, the 49ers are proving their model works. If they can replicate that formula in Glasgow, it could be a game-changer for Rangers.
For now, the open letter remains officially about Leeds United. But for those paying attention, it’s clear: the 49ers are sending signals to the football world. And the next move could very well be north of the border.
