Leeds have announced the majority of their players have agreed to defer their wages while the club is in administration.
Thirty-two of the 36-strong playing squad have agreed to enter into a "deed of deferral" following a meeting last week between the players' union, the Professional Players' Association and Leeds' administrators KPMG.
It has been agreed that the players' wages will be paid after a meeting of the club's creditors on June 1.
Leeds went into administration with debts of £35million following a winding-up order issued by the Inland Revenue, who are owed £5million in unpaid taxes.
The business was, with administrators KPMG's approval, almost immediately bought by a new company, Leeds United Football Club Limited, of which supremo Ken Bates is a listed director.
But the sale is subject to approval by the club's creditors who will be furnished with full details of takeover plans put forward by other consortia at the meeting on June 1.
