It is understood that a deal has been agreed in principle for the sale of a majority stake in Leeds United, with the buyers, or at least the money, tipped to be of Far East origin – possibly China. Massimo Cellino would apparently retain a small stake in the club, but would relinquish control.
Sources agree that this is a done deal, with only legal formalities to be completed. Doubtless there will be much more on this story over the coming days, but what seems certain is that we are seeing the end of an era at Elland Road, with new owners and new ideas.
It’s going to be an interesting time ahead at Leeds United.

Fingers and toes crossed that these TOMA rumours turn into facts Rob with new owners bringing a credible plan and significant sustainable investment to the table.
Just when I thought that the recent developments at our club couldn’t get any better all the excitement on social media has completely drowned out the hype about some kind of a derby in the back streets of scumchester.

Knowing our luck rob we will either get someone from China who sells stuff on ebay for a penny or the ghost of chairman mao

If true, Rob, it can’t come any too soon. If we’re going to be owned by Chinese, it’ll be worth eating chow mein at the matches if it will get us out of the relegation zone and avoid a drop back into League One next year!

Getting worn out rob -for the first time ever I expected town to come to ER and win…
Last year I went to Huddersfield and saw a good performance with a 3-0 win , it was the first game for their new manager , since then they have gone from strength to strength and look likely to make that step up to the premiership… I don’t have the answer to why they are now top of the league and we’re in the relegation position but something has to change and quick

I was expecting it too. Our club is rotten from the top, rotten to the core.

A lot of people upset at the brilliant start of Huddersfield but that is stupid. It takes a lot more than a few games to decide the outcome and personally I don’t care what Town do. It’s what WE do. There’s enough misery already without getting paranoid about another team.
I’m being positive because a whole season will not pan out like this. It’s going to come good and a couple of good wins will do wonders for confidence and morale.
