Midsblue Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Very interesting snippets from Give Me Sport website following his interview - He went some way to revealing clues about the football team he may soon be the owner of and also stated that he wants his own TV channel. "The particular club we're looking at the remedy for it is there," he added. "It was a huge club previously and it just needs that little bit of extra investment to take it to the next level. "By bringing in the personnel that were previously associated with the club at its heyday and bringing people in who are genuine club supporters it will excite the fans. "Once I get the football club I will definitely have my own TV channel which will cover my three sports; racing, rugby and football." Is this honestly us? Does this mean Royle (previously associated with club at its heyday) and Scholes (people who are genuine club supporters)? :censored:ing exciting if it is us he's going for.......

Haven't Leeds just got new owners? I know can change all the time but still... 2. Can Leeds be classed as the north west? 3. Why would the question come up about ground sharing because they obviously don't need to move! Just to clarify I don't think or believe its us until it happens.

lancy lad Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 If he is worth £500 million, he is right up our street. He has nowhere near enough cash to fund Leeds United. Forget it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpo Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Another piece of the puzzle that fits, is the rumours that have been going round for months that Royle and Scholes would be involved with a takeover of the club. It didn't sound likely at the time, but it fits in with the Dr's comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not wanting to pour cold water on any excitement, but could he mean Barry Chaytow, who said in 2006: 'I will resign as Chairman and as a Director, but I would hope it to be only a temporary state of affairs. If the deal goes through, then I will be back very soon.' 'In the circumstances we feel that for me to stay on as a member of the Board at present would be a conflict of interest, so it is my intention to make a formal offer to purchase the football club along with the freehold land' http://www.oldhamath...134/index.shtml Edited June 18, 2013 by Diego_Sideburns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
