Former Southampton chief Nicola Cortese won't be buying into Leeds United.
The Daily Mail says Cortese has no interest in launching a buy-out of Championship crisis club Leeds United.
Owner Massimo Cellino, who has appointed six managers in 18 months, has angered fans by apparently offering to sell to them and then rescinding it.
The U-turn has immediately sparked speculation that someone like Cortese, who left Southampton 21 months ago and who is believed to want to return to football, might be interested.
However, the Swiss banker has already declined several offers to run or buy clubs since his departure from St Mary's and will only consider realistic options.
