Leeds' American vice-chairman says English football is so "special, unique and rare", so club owners need to be respectful of that and "protect it".
Gary Neville has called US investment in English football "a clear and present danger" to the game.
But Leeds vice-chairman Paraag Marathe said he was a big fan of English football "as it is".
"As far as I'm concerned, I don't proclaim to know all of the history and cultural things about what makes English football special and different and unique," he told BBC sports editor Dan Roan on The Sports Desk podcast.
