Mike Farnan, formerly linked with a consortium involved to buyout Leeds United, has tonight confirmed on Twitter that Steve Parkin wants to buy Leeds United, not invest in a minority stake.
He also confirmed Steve Parkin wants to do the deal alone, not with a consortium. The Clipper Logistics owner has been spotted at Leeds' past two games amid rumours he has renewed his interest in the club. PICTURES BELOW
With the best will in the world, Steve Parkin cannot afford to buy Leeds and run the club with any hope of a sucessful outcome

DeleteDER! doesn't Farnan say "no consortium, just him"? What part of no consortium, just him don't you understand???
DeleteWe need a billionaire owner otherwise Leeds will just be tossed from millionaire to billionaire wannabe forever. These are millionaires who see an opportunity for riches. Leeds is a club who one day will be back up with the top 6 again and there are riches to be had.
ReplyDeleteCan't afford to buy Lufc? Don't talk crap! He's just sold 49% of clipper fir £350 million!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteRubbish!!!! Clipper logistics isn't worth a fraction of that. Your sums value it at over £700 million which is laughable.
DeleteSold 1/3 of his shares for £30 million 1n 2014. http://www.thesundaytimes.co.uk/sto/business/article1417186.ece
ReplyDeleteNot enough to take Leeds back to the top.
Clipper Logistics have a net worth of MINUS £8 million! Make your own conclusions!

Anyone announcing his bid via mates on twitter is unlikely to be "the guy"-although I did say same about D Trump
