    Scum fan who graduated from Kuwait University tweeted this ....

    Who-sane ‏@7sain

    Fawaz Al-Hasawy has bought Leeds United

    Who-sane ‏@7sain

    @andywood_86 an interview on Kuwaiti channel , he said it himself , without naming the club , but he just named the manager " warnock"

    Who-sane ‏@7sain

    @andywood_86 he's a rich Kuwaiti investor , he was the chairman of Al-Qadsya football club in kuwait and they won 10 trophies with him.

    Hmmmm .....

    Andrew Haigh ‏@AndrewHaigh

    Tweets in Arabic seemingly link Fawaz Hawarsi (President of Qadsia Football Club in Kuwait) with #LUFC on @qadsia_news. Lost in translation?

    Yeah, seen a couple of your RT's, Kissa. I'm going to take a leaf out of this man's book & go to bed for some nice dreams (if I can sleep!).....

    Far too late for me to be getting involved in #lufc Kuwaiti takeover rumours. Will try to find out what's going on in the morning!

    Good!

    Perhaps he can bring one of those dismantled, automatically air-conditioned WC stadiums with him after the 2022 WC. Should be lovely in Leeds in February having ice water going through the seats!

    He's richer than Man City's owners apparently...

    ****fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck things like this don't happen to Leeds United, bet he buys Forest and they nick our manager instead.

    Trying desperately not to get my hopes up but it's nigh on impossible. An Arab owner with untold riches? Seems too good to be true. One thing's for sure though, chucking millions at the team doesn't guarantee promotion, as a certain East Midlands club can testify to <whistle>

    Back to reality. The main bidder and one that has met with Leeds United and been shown around, is from Chicago and not the middle east. The middle east people have only shown some interest. (Source: Various Media)

    People out in Kuwait seem to think it's still us. We'll see, at least we're able to think about which new owners we want haha.

    Some (seemingly) in the know Kuwaiti's are still saying it's us... think I'll take a break from the speculation for a while.
