Larry Nance Jr insists the potential financial losses that come with owning a football club would not deter him from following his 'passion' with Leeds United.

This was something that even if he had said 'hey dude, this is a terrible investment, don't do it', I was going to do it.
Nance Jr, who currently represents the New Orleans Pelicans, admits he does not want to get involved with giving any advice on the playing side with the team. However, the 30-year-old has joked about his role on social media with the eager fanbase. "Whether they're happy or mad, my Twitter is just...after a Leeds game, just search my Twitter handle."
