Heard a strong rumour from a very reliable source that investment is being negotiated not from a consortium but from an individual. That individual was actually named to me. By the way apparently the investment is not direct cash. Work it out. JD

Hmm cryptic clue so is the link here the word direct meaning sports direct aka Mike Ashley?

I played golf with Mike Ashley last Thursday and he has no intention of putting any money into Leeds, pity as I'm a Leeds fan.

He's more interested in his business now and wishes to continue growing it at both home and abroad. Sorry {Ed013's Note - I saw him driving a Sports Direct lorry and he gave me the wrist action sign when he saw my Leeds badge in my car so don't think he likes Leeds :-)

Not direct cash surely means the buying back of Elland Road.

Is it the co op are they providing milk for the youngsters?

If we're going with the 'direct' theme, surely First Direct would be more likely. There's two Brian Mcdermotts in the city, perhaps soon we might have two First Direct Arenas!?

Sorry guys the word Direct was not meant to mislead nor was it in relation to Ashley. I can't reveal the source or they could be in trouble and the name might affect them and the deal. However one poster seems to have hit on the thread. JD

Got to agree with the last post, makes sense why only buy 10%?

If I have followed the breadcrumbs correctly, the buyback of ER would free up a lot of rent money that could be used on player wages or even cancelling the contracts of the crapper ones
