Football stays at Elland Road, insists Leeds chief

Leeds chairman Gerald Krasner insists the club’s fans have to accept “the financial realities” which have led the board to hold talks for the sale and lease of Elland Road.

Following the Krasner-led takeover of the club in March, he pledged that football would stay at Elland Road and today insisted a minimum 25-year lease would be a condition of sale.
