Rumours of Kelly bid for Leeds amid administration speculation

Ken Bates, who today denied reports he is planning to relocate Leeds to South Leeds Stadium, has been told that entering administration may help to safeguard the club’s long-term future.

A report in a national newspaper claimed Bates is in talks with Leeds City Council about quitting Elland Road for the 2,500-seater stadium, which houses amateur rugby league club Hunslet Hawks.
