Leeds United have confirmed that some exciting changes have been made at boardroom level, and it's news which should have their fans absolutely buzzing.
What's the story?
An official club statement posted on leedsunited.com read: "Exciting board changes. Leeds United has today revealed changes to its Board of Directors as the club looks ahead to a bright future.
"The first new face on the board is Australian Peter Lowy. Peter is currently the Principle of the Lowy Family Group private investment business and was formerly the CEO of the hugely successful Westfield Group. Lowy is a lifelong Leeds United supporter who brings over 30 years of business experience with him.
"Peter is joined by Aser Ventures Chief Executive Officer Massimo Marinelli who has played a pivotal role in generating investment into the club during Andrea’s ownership, including the increased involvement of the 49 Enterprises earlier this year.
"Finally, former Fiorentina CEO Sandro Mencucci will take a place on the new-look board having spent 17 years at the Stadio Artemio Franchi. Massimo, Sandro and Peter join Leeds United Chairman Andrea Radrizzani, Vice Chairman Paraag Marathe and CEO Angus Kinnear, to complete the Board of Directors."
Leeds fans should be buzzing
Given the debacle of the European Super League involving the Premier League's proverbial 'big six', and the fan fallout arising from that, news of some exciting changes at boardroom level for Leeds is welcome.
The big plus point for the club and its fans is the arrival of Peter Lowy, who is claimed to be a "lifelong" supporter of the club.

Fan representation at board level has been a much-discussed topic in recent days and weeks since the ESL collapsed, and the likes of Liverpool and Spurs have either made or mooted changes to that effect.
Having a personal, Leeds-aligned touch to the club's hierarchy is another encouraging move to ensure the Whites' future.
The news from Thorp Arch should have fans buzzing, knowing that the club will likely be in even safer hands now that parties with their best interests at heart are involved at boardroom level.
Meanwhile, Leeds must land this "explosive" Premier League star...
