Soccer: Leeds likely to bide time

LEEDS appear poised to bide their time should they choose to go into administration due to acting-chairman Trevor Birch’s apparently healthy relationship with the club’s creditors.

The future of the club currently hangs in the balance with just five days' remaining to the end of a standstill agreement with the creditors who are owed £82 million.

Birch is understood to be working frantically behind the Elland Road scenes in the hope of attracting a buyer for the debt-laden club, or enough investment to see Leeds through to the end of the season.
