Russell Crowe told to get on board with Leeds takeover

“The idea of a high net-worth Leeds fan... he absolutely falls into the category and we would value that investment from him.”

Oscar-winning actor Russell Crowe has been told that now is the time to make good of his previous interest in owning a stake in Leeds.

Crowe – best known for his portrayal of Maximus in Gladiator – is a lifelong Leeds fan and earlier this year explored the possibility of purchasing the club.
