Fans fear the worst as battle for Leeds becomes one-horse race

THE battle for control of Leeds United has again become a one-horse race, although doubt has been cast on the credibility of the sole runner and rider.

A second Yorkshire-based consortium had raised hopes on Wednesday among supporters they would step in and make a bid for the cash-strapped club.

However, following lengthy discussions with corporate finance experts Zeus Capital, who had been putting together the rescue package, the consortium members have decided they will not be mounting a takeover.
