from BBC website; BBC Radio Leeds understands that the owners of Leeds United are to announce the sale of 10% of the club to a foreign investor. The Dubai-based bank GFH Capital are expected to reveal later today the identity of the first "strategic investor" they have sought since taking charge in December.
Recent reports have indicated an apparent discrepancy between them and their parent company, the Bahrain-based GFH, who had stated they wanted to sell the club completely. GFH Capital completed the takeover of Leeds United on 21 December after paying around £22m for the club and its holding company of which current chairman Ken Bates was the majority shareholder. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Matt Anderson Sent: 28 March 2013 09:04 To: Andy Clayton Cc: LEEDSLIST Subject: Re: [LU] R5 - Owners to announce sale of 10% A "strategic" foreign investor!!!
