Is Russell Crowe set to become 'Master and Commander' of Leeds United?

The Leeds Fans LLP group has said it hopes to meet actor Russell Crowe in April to discuss the club's future ownership.

Hollywood star Crowe prompted speculation he may be ready to make a bid for Leeds recently, when he asked his 1.6million Twitter followers whether he should buy the club.

David and Christine spoke to Dylan Thwaites from Leeds Fans LLP:

Leeds United have confirmed that there has been no approach for the club by Russell Crowe.

The Hollywood actor, who is a Leeds United fan, earlier today tweeted his followers asking them whether he should buy the club

Russell Crowe has asked his followers opinion after he was asked on Twitter if he should buy Leeds United.

Crowe is a self confessed Leeds United supporter and with owner Massimo Cellino currently banned from being a director of the club, could the Gladiator star throw his hat in the reing and buy the club?

In an exchange with the Leeds Fans LLP, a group "supporting fan ownership" of the club, Crowe laid out a plan based on his ownership of South Sydney.

While he did not say that system would translate exactly to Leeds, Crowe said any move would have to be based on a "singular vision" aimed towards creating "success on the field".
