Parkin, the Brighouse-based haulage magnate, withdrew any interest after two weeks spent studying the club’s finances.

Gerald Krasner had repeatedly called for Parkin to 'show me the money'.

Now the Leeds board, which looks a laughing stock after this week's fiasco, must find a way to pay back the £15m loan that it took from Jack Petchey, the property developer, if it is to keep the club afloat.
