The home ground of Leeds United was sold amid financial turmoil in 2004.
Elland Road
It looks set to be all change at Leeds United this summer, with Andrea Radrizzani set to take over from Massimo Cellino as the sole owner and chairman at the West Yorkshire club.
The Italian businessman bought 50 per cent of the company in January and is now set to become the sole owner this summer.
Leeds fans have already warmed to the businessman since his emergence at the club, but he faces a busy summer to keep them happy.
Keeping Garry Monk, star players such as Chris Wood and bringing in new talent will be on his mind but to really win around the Leeds fans, buying back ownership of their Elland Road home is the best way to do so.

Leeds lost ownership of the ground in 2004 when it was sold to offset some of their mounting debts. Leeds are 13 years into a 25-year lease on the ground and, according to the Business Desk, have a £17 million buy-back clause on the ground.
It was something Cellino promised he would do, but never did. Radrizzani has previously alluded to his desire to buy back the famous ground and if he did prove the man to bring Leeds United fans their home back he would undoubtedly become an instant hero.
