That's fine! But look at it really, you can pick up one of the biggest NAMES (I'm not saying club at the moment ... sadly) in English, possibly even World! Football, for pretty much nowt. There's a 40,000 stadium already built, a worldwide fan base (Who buy merchandising STILL!) in place which is crying out for the rot to be stopped, for a small percentage of what it costs you to buy in anywhere else. Get a debt free Leeds United back into the Premiership and you could sell on for Big Millions! I'd be interested!
