Leeds United sale to Crowe on BBC News

We're not famous anymore.
Interview with Crowe had a focus on his desire for LUFC. He neither denied nor confirmed whether he would bid, but was clear he didn't want to disrupt the current regime.
Seriously sounds like he would like to own us

Well he's a big Leeds fan, is known to buy sports teams he's a fan of, and aint short of cash. Would be a great boost if he did it, would be nice for you to have commitment and stability at the top.

He's only worth about £50million pounds

Maybe he wants to buy out GFH share, and then reform his Rock band Roman Antix with Cellino as lead guitarist.

Maybe they'll ask Ricky Wilson to join them as well.

I Predict a Riot if that happens.

Its all well looking at what Crowe as an individual owns, its who he knows and brings in you might have to look for!..

He's said the owns 50% of his Rugby club, so someone must own the other, and I cant see him being that good a sportsman to be able to do what he has done there!..

He may have some serious backers and they could be footballs equivalent to the people he has at his Rugby club!.

"what he has done there"....alone!.

Germany, he only owns 37.5%, James Packer, the son of Kerry Packer, and one of Australia's richest men worth an estimated 3.5 billion pounds, owns 37.5% and the fans own 25%.

Packer is interesting, not only is he a mate of Crowe, but he owns or part owns several on line betting firms and large casinos globally.

Where have we heard of links with casinos and gambling firms before.

Could be nothing in it, but Leeds are definitely worth a gamble if you have enough money.

Algarve, according to the internetty thingy he owns a little more than 37.5%, but I'll have to admit the internetty might say something else elsewhere!.

Having said that, if what you say is right, and he has someone like James Packer in toll, that'd surely be one of the best things that could ever happen to Leeds United!..

I did say people should look out for who he brings in and if James Packer is a footballing man things could become a reality!.

But still has the power!.
