No magic answer to Leeds problem, says investor

Former Huddersfield chairman Terry Fisher, who is leading a consortium of “serious” businessmen trying to save troubled Leeds, has admitted there is “no huge benefactor like Roman Abramovich” ready to instantly wipe out the club debts.

Fisher, who heads up a second Yorkshire-based group interested in helping the Elland Road club, told the Yorkshire Post: “I have been asked to get involved in the consortium by the people at Zeus Capital [corporate finance specialists] because of my football background as a Leeds United supporter and also due to my experience as chairman of Huddersfield Town.
