Marathe stated that it would be disrespectful to consider one club a feeder to the other, comparing them to "closed-loop universes" that require proper care and attention. He acknowledged that there are opportunities for the clubs to learn from each other, whether it's commercially or on the pitch.

Marathe's comments were made in response to concerns about his workload in managing both Leeds and Rangers, two of the biggest clubs in the United Kingdom. He expressed his focus on winning and his willingness to do whatever it takes to achieve that goal, dismissing concerns about his workload.

Both Leeds and Rangers have ambitions of competing in Europe, which could lead to a situation where they may be affected by joint ownership, similar to Crystal Palace's current situation with Ligue 1 side Lyon.

Marathe's comments aim to reassure fans of both clubs that they will be treated equally and that there will be no hierarchy between them.
