Leeds want to buy back Elland Road stadium and their Thorp Arch training complex with the help of a loan from Leeds City Council.

Sebastien Sainsbury’s £25m (€35.7m) deal to takeover Leeds appears to be in jeopardy – which could result in the sale of Elland Road tomorrow.

Ugandan tycoon Michael Ezra’s £60m (€88m) bid for cash-strapped Leeds is reportedly being held up over a technicality regarding boardroom composition.
