Last updated : 18 April 2004 By Kevin Markey
The fax was sent by Leeds' club secretary Ian Silvester making it very clear that Richmond will be handling all contract and transfer queries at Elland Road, courtesy of the new owners.

Chairman Gerald Krasner says Richmond is helping out for free and is adamant that he is the best man for the role, saying: "Geoffrey has 15 years' experience and expertise in football and that is invaluable to us. People forget what he did for Bradford, he was the man who took them into the Premiership.

"They only remember the troubles he had in the last two years there."

The fax was copied to all UK based FIFA Licensed Agents and is dated 15th April 2004.
