THE local MP for Headingley has called on those with the financial means to provide Yorkshire with an alternative option to approving the return of Colin Graves as chair.
The board of the financially stricken club are understood to be considering an offer of investment from a consortium led by former chairman Graves, with other options – including a mooted deal with former Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley – having failed to materialise.
It has been reported that if the Graves consortium’s offer was approved, an immediate loan of £1 million would be forthcoming, followed quickly by new investment worth a further £4m.
