It looks like there is a deal to be completed tomorrow with some American investors who will buy the club for £25m. Debts would be paid, Thorpe Arch will be bought back, and rumor has it there will be £5m for Blackwell to spend.

Sincerity,

good news about healy. hope he can score!
ive heard the consortium is in risk of not getting the bid. gotta get the money together, which is something that so many other potential buyers havent done.
a 5m transfer budget would be fantastic though, and i hadnt heard about him getting thorpe arch back, just clearing debts and giving a nice kitty.

I'd hate to get my hopes up AGAIN!... But this sounds like it might possibly save us... EVERY article I've read states they'll clear debts, and buy back our lease aggreements... But how many times have we all heard this, and where the hell was this consortium when Leeds was last sold?... My fingers are crossed...

The word last week was "he hopes to talk to the press again on tuesday"
Tomorrow is the day we'll find something out.
From what i've heard, he'll be giving Krasner and co a cheque for £500k tomorrow.

"We want to clear the club's debts, which we understand currently stand at £17m, but the present board's conditions for a takeover changed three times last week."

Well its officially unofficial. Leeds agree. (http://football.guardian.co.uk/News_Story/0,1563,1341421,00.html) If someone could tell me warp code tags for them cut and paste sections. It would help (I even went to barnes and noble book store no luck). It is not a big deal but its traits is from professionalism.

From what i have heard, they have proved that funds are in place....
Also... Welsh international midfielder John Oster is coming to Leeds on a month long loan from Sunderland.
Also... Trial is being given to Icelandic international Gylfi Einarsson who plays for Lillestrøm in Norway. He was their 2nd top scorer this season with 12 goals in 25 matches. http://www.lsk.no/php/stallen.php?showid=11 He recently had a trial with Cardiff city as well. Since he cannot be signed until January he is looking at both clubs and will choose between us.
