Relegated from the Premiership in 2004, United are almost certain to be relegated this weekend from the Championship into League One.
And such a fall could prove too much for the club’s fragile finances.
The club’s chief executive, Shaun Harvey, said "We need to make considered and structured decisions both on and off the field over the forthcoming weeks to position ourselves to use next season as a springboard to go forward from.
"There will be, and has been, a significant amount of speculation as to what the future holds for the club financially, particularly from would-be investors who want to become involved/own Leeds United.
"This type of speculation is currently rife both at Leeds United and football in general but our message remains consistent in so much as anyone interested in becoming financially involved should contact us with full details of who they are and proof of funds to show they are able to assist us.
"We will continue to decline to comment on speculation.”
