Duncan Revie - son of former Leeds United manager Don - has outlined his intention to form a consortium capable of buying the club.

Leeds were plunged into administration on Friday, incurring a 10-point penalty to confirm the club's relegation to League One.

The club's administrators immediately agreed to sell The Whites to a group called Leeds United Football Club Limited, headed by Ken Bates.

But, appalled at The Whites' decline in recent seasons, businessman Revie is hoping to restore the glory days at Elland Road.

Revie runs a company called Soccerex and has revealed there is strong interest with regards to putting together a takeover package.

"What is happening to Leeds is a bloody disgrace," Revie told the Mail on Sunday. "I cried when I watched the result against Ipswich last weekend.

"I've tried to ignore my feelings for a long time as I know the aggravation needed to put things right.

"But when things get this bad, I can't ignore it. My feelings run too deep.

"I am interested in trying to get Leeds back where they belong, which is in the top six of the Premiership.

"I've held talks with some influential people and the feedback has been good. I will be holding more talks in the next few weeks."

Don Revie (pictured) presided over the most illustrious period in Leeds' history and was manager of the club between 1961 and 1974.

He won two First Division titles, was runner-up a further five times, lifted one FA Cup, a League Cup and also two Fairs Cup trophies.
