Creditor Talks A Success

Reports suggest that chief executive Trevor Birch agreed a deal with the club's bond holders to buy more time to restructure debts of over £80m.

Leeds are expected to announce they have staved off the immediate threat of administration tomorrow.

But the situation remains grave, with a cash injection likely to be needed to secure the club's long-term future.

They are expected to be given until mid-January to try to sort out their finances.

Deputy chairman Alan Leighton is also expected to announce he is stepping down from the board.
