Leeds announced Crowe's summer gig at the Brudenell Social Club in Hyde Park on X. Replying to the club's official announcement, a user wrote: "Such a massive Leeds fan he put his money into Wrexham, not the 49ers."
Crowe then replied: "I don’t have any part of what’s going on in Wrexham man. I’m really impressed with Ryan and Rob, and what they are achieving, but I’m not part of that. I do however have a very small connection now financially to LUFC via the 49er family. So, yeah, exactly… but opposite."

49ers Enterprises is an American consortium that took full control of Leeds United last summer after Andrea Radrizzani exited the club. Several small investors have put their money into the club, including Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps and professional golfers Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas.
