Matthew, you seem very keen on this idea. 1 question though: How rich is your current chairman?

mrfunktastick

not very

leon crouch is the football board chairman and is a local businessman and 2nd largest shareholder.

the biggest shareholder Michael Wilde was chairman for about 8 months before he stepped down when he couldn't find anyone to invest in the club.

the board has been looking for outside investment since they ousted Rupert Lowe last summer

looks like they may have found it!

We don't deserve some Rich Tycoon coming in, but if anyone did, any Leeds "fan" who objects on the grounds of "OMGZ he's American and they only player soccer LOLZ" is a complete idiot.

I don't think thats the point he was trying to make Fran, it was more that he is looking for a traditional family type clubs and obviously (some) Leeds fans haven't exactly made the club look that way.
