New Revie era for Leeds?
Quote:
The son of Leeds legend Don Revie is considering mounting a bid to take control of the stricken West Yorkshire giants.
Despite going down to League One a number of parties are looking to snatch control of the Elland Road club.
Former Leeds director Simon Morris has already thrown his hat into the ring to take over from current chairman Ken Bates.
However, Duncan Revie is now looking into the possibility of making a bid.
"Ken Bates wants proof of funds but the money is not a problem - my problem is can I recreate my Dad's team and getting the people who can find those players," said Revie.
"I will not do this unless I can do it 100%, and I have a lot on my plate at the moment in terms of my business, but my heart is ruling my mind.
"I don't want to mess about, it has to be getting back to where we were.
"Some would say that's a pipe-dream, but when Dad walked into the dressing room when we were in the old second division and changed the strip to all white and said 'I'm going to make you as great as Real Madrid', that was a pipe-dream too - except that it happened.
"We need a structure to identify the players, and a genius as a manager. Sir Alex Ferguson is a genius, Arsene Wenger is a genius. There are football geniuses and that's my challenge, to find one."
