According to Wednesday's Sun newspaper, Radio One DJ Chris Moyles begged Madonna to buy his beloved Leeds United.

Motormouth DJ Chris Moyles apparently begged Madonna to buy Leeds United, the Sun revealed yesterday.

Like most Leeds fans, Moyles was obviously worried that his beloved club would cease to exist following the summer of financial turmoil after the club went into administration last May. The self-proclaimed "saviour of Radio One" obviously fancied himself as the messiah of something far more important than a Radio station that has been crap for far longer than we have!

However it appears that the Ken Bates regime have ridden the financial storm, albeit at a cost of the 15-point deduction which Ken has vowed to fight-on to get reinstated. The fans are off his back, which contrasts sharply to the summer when there were protests at his continued reign at the helm.

Bates is apparently keen to invite investors on board, last month it was doing the rounds that Freddie Shepard was preparing to put money into Leeds, after Bates was spotted enjoying lunch with the ex-Newcastle chairman.

Whether or not the "Material Girl" would be interested in investing in "soccer" and diverting her attention from Kaballah-wotsit remains to be seen. Her husband Guy Ritchie was reportedly a Leeds fan in the days when we were doing well in the Champions League. He probably now follows Chelsea, like all the other "celebrity" Leeds fans who came crawling out of the closet seven or eight years ago!
