Alex Sobel wants to stop club going privateGraves expected to make apology on taking control
Colin Graves remains poised to complete his return to Yorkshire, despite conflict and confusion at the club. However, a second day of board meetings ended without an announcement that the takeover had been ratified, while the local MP has asked investors to come forward and reports suggest that the club’s own rules would prevent Graves sitting on its board.
Alex Sobel, the Labour MP for Leeds North West, whose constituency includes Yorkshire’s Headingley home, said he was “asking people to come forward as alternatives” as he tries to stop the club’s conversion into a private company. “If there are real and legitimate potential investors, I’m happy to speak to anybody that wants to keep Yorkshire as a members’ club,” he said.
