Ezra Hitch On Board

Last updated : 10 February 2004 By Kevin Markey

Ezra, who insists he has the funds available for a bid that overshadows that put together by a Yorkshire-based consortium, plans to install a six-man board at Elland Road.

He told Ugandan newspaper The New Vision: "The six-man board that I had presented doesn't have any Britons and Leeds don't find that acceptable."

Ezra added: "They also feel that my board lacks the technical expertise to bolster the club, but money is no longer the issue, that has been sorted.

"Leeds know that I have £60m, while my board would also spend an extra £30m to strengthen the team."
