Former Crystal Palace owner and talkSPORT pundit Simon Jordan believes Leeds United can bounce straight back up to the Premier League IF they sort out their boardroom scenario. There has been plenty of speculation in recent weeks linking current Whites owner Andrea Radrizzani with a takeover at Italian clubs Inter Milan and recently relegated Sampdoria.
The latest reports claim Radrizzani is in advanced talks with PSG's owners to take over the new Serie B side, suggesting the Qataris could also invest at Elland Road. The reports in France cast doubt over the 49ers Enterprises mooted takeover this summer.
The American organisation is widely expected to complete a full takeover at Elland Road this summer, with a reported deadline of January 2024. However, relegation would likely impact the financial transaction between the two parties, with a lesser fee paid for a Championship side.

When asked if any of the three Premier League sides could come straight back up, Jordan told talkSPORT: "Well I mean look, I made the case yesterday the two teams I think are going to go down are Leicester and Leeds. I specifically was talking about Leeds and I think there's no reason that they can't clear up the confusion and mess that's in their boardroom about decision making, then Leeds can bounce back.
"I think the same, most likely, of Leicester. The answer to your question, it makes it a dull day in the Championship to find two of the three sides in my view - Southampton might be slightly more challenged because I'm not entirely inspired by the decision making process of the new manager they're putting in, might be one of the two that doesn't come back up again.
"In answer to your question, yes I think they can bounce whoever goes down including Everton."
