Leeds owners seek to sell club after three months

Leeds’ owners GFH Capital are in talks to sell the npower Championship club only three months after taking over at Elland Road.

The Bahrain-based group completed a protracted sale from former owner Ken Bates in late December for a “bargain” price, but are now in negotiations to sell their stake in LUFC Holdings, the club’s parent company, for £7m more than they paid.
