Leeds United are courting a Middle East sheikh to try and help them out of their financial mire.
The stricken Premiership club are hoping Bahraini sheikh Mubarak al-Khalifa can do for them what Russian biliionaire Roman Abramovic did for Chelsea by pumping in massive amounts of cash.
Al-Khalifa, from the oil-rich United Arab Emirate, is believed to be the man behind investement company ARM, which has pledged UKP4.5m to the cash-strapped club.
Huh? Didn’t know that anyone in Bahrain had that sort of money.. and good luck getting any Leeds if you don’t even know that Bahrain is NOT the United Arab Emirates.. that happens to be some 400kms to the south!
