The chairman of York City football club is considering buying ITV Digital.

"It is my intention to head up a bid for ITV Digital backed by a consortium of people from motor sport and football," he told the club's official site. "I need to act very quickly after talks with the administrators who said the company would otherwise be broken up very quickly.

"There is no reason why we can't make this work and it will be heavily funded from the motorsport side. I don't have the money required, but I do have the ability to bring people together who do."
