D-day looms again for Leeds as time runs out for survival bid

CRISIS club Leeds face yet another day of reckoning today as they seek a further stay of execution from administration.

Having been given an extension of a week to secure a £5million injection to keep the Elland Road club active until May, acting chairman Trevor Birch has explored various routes to survival.

Last month Leeds agreed a ‘standstill agreement’ with their creditors, to whom they owe a combined sum in excess of £80million, which gave them breathing space.
