Gerald Krasner has put the fround up for sale for a reported £8 million. Krasner has said anyone interested in buying would have to agree to a minimum 25 year lease back. This is a hammer blopw for Leeds fans. We are still reeling from the sales of almost our entire squad, with most given away for free, or sold for a fraction of their true worth. The board were not trusted by many, and the ground sale has tipped many neutrals over the edge. Obviously the finances at the club are still in dire straights, despite sales totalling nearly 20 million, and a wage bill cut by roughly £20 milllion a season. The ground sale is seen by many as the final straw, and Krasner and Co wioll have their work cut out to convince the doubters that they are not merely asset strippers. The fans are sick and tired of our treatment over the last few years, by various boards, and it doesn't seem to be getting any better. We need some answers, and we need them now...
