Haha, Highland, that was the reason he was in LA - to promote Master & Commander!

Russell Crowe: Leeds United 'not for sale' says chairman

Leeds United are "not for sale" despite actor Russell Crowe suggesting he may be interested in buying the club.
BBC Sport had learned that New Zealand-born Crowe, a Leeds supporter, would consider buying the club only if approached and with the fans' backing.
Leeds are owned by Eleonora Sport Limited but banned president Massimo Cellino has sold his personal stake in both the company and the club.
Chairman Andrew Umbers said there have been no approaches.
"The club is not for sale nor do the Cellino family wish to sell and nor have we received any approaches contrary to reports in the press today," said Umbers.
"The ongoing legal discussions between Massimo Cellino and the Football League are being completely misinterpreted.
"Leeds United is currently being successfully restructured, rebuilt, significantly invested in, with care and planning for the longer term with the Cellino family at its heart, for the benefit of its long-suffering and passionate fans, the city and its players and staff."
Oscar-winning Crowe, 50, had asked his 1.67m Twitter followers whether it would be a good idea to buy the Championship club.
He is already the co-owner of rugby league club South Sydney Rabbitohs, who play in Australia's National Rugby League.
So that's that,
Or not......

He's just after more Twatter followers!

I don't think he's serious at all. All it was, was one tweet that's been turned into a story.

Doubt he has the money. If he could get a group of investors together then that's a different story, but don't see it happening.

We've gone from a career crook in Bates, to an incompetent investment bank, to an arrogant, stupid 'business-man'. Can we not just have a normal owner?

Agree with stoopo and best fans,
Just media bollox,

Has to be a good thing.Seems genuine enough.

Read his Twitter page, it isn't one tweet.

He's tweeted about Leeds quite a few times in the past, its not just come to light in the last 2 days

"look at a show called South Side Story you'll see how we handled this at South Sydney. It's up on you tube, 6 episodes we set up a member company that has its own board and seats on the football club board. There has to be a singular vision there has to be one voice that sets the tone. Every thought and every decision has to be about success on the field."

Crowe's comments yesterday to the Leeds fans consortium. I wouldn't be surprised if he might become involved in at least that, to support their efforts.

I watched that show some time ago, it is pretty interesting and entertaining.
