Sheikh to takeover at Leeds?Leeds United are the latest club to be linked with a multi-million dollar takeover after Dubai businessman Sheikh Samir Mirdad expressed his interest in the troubled club.
Mirdad told the Daily Star Sunday: "Leeds United is a prestigious club that has, in the recent past, suffered setbacks. My vision is to bring the club back to its former glory.
"The club has a huge fanbase and because of the history and the desire of the people of Leeds to see Leeds United back in top-flight football we think this may be the ideal challenge for us.
"I am very passionate about football and I want to help a lot of other people who share this passion. My intentions should follow the vision that would be shared between me, Mr Bates and the people of Leeds. There is a lot of potential for the club."
