Heard allegedly that £6 million winding up post against us today, major split in the team looking to take over with one individual been playing a very sneaky two faced tactic. Who also has private issues which are due to come out in the press shore to as alleged .Italians waiting in the background. It is about time we got together (FANS) and stood up to these *******s.

If this was the case it would be all over the news yet nothing. More made up rubbish just to see if people panic

Spot well said, wum.

How are we going to stand up to them precisely? hardly anybody stood up to Bates!

4.) 29 Jan 2014
No winding order issued but it could happen to recover £6m funding put into club since November

Whether this is true or not us fans need to get our point accross about the lack of disrespect GFH have shown us fans - need voices on Saturday guys and cause a rather loud stink - LUFC is our club and these people are destroying it in more ways than one they are one minute wonders we are here forever do not forget that! - let's get behind the manager too and show them we mean business!

Weve lost the plot now

7.) 29 Jan 2014
For gods sake get real, even someone with no business knowledge will know that if GFH put us into administration they will loose all their investment, they are a bank!
Just keep calm and carry on

Love it how you say italians when there's only one :D

Ha ha with there was none LOL (italians that is)!

No chance of Cellino being passed as fit and proper as a director in the UK Nor any of his representatives. Forget the Ities he has an embezzelment charge and subsequent court case hanging over him. I agree entirely about Haigh he is fake and looking to flip us! These *******s won't ruin our club if we pull together I am making some noise on Sat for BMD **** the rest!

The son could be put up for fit&proper person test though could he not?

{Ed013's Note - Correct}

Yep, brian McDermott deserves a medal for what he is going through right now gfh are an utter disgrace! " oh brian McDermott oh brian McDermott "

Ed what are your thoughts on all this crap?

{Ed013's Note - I heard something similar today, the best thing for GFH to do is reduce their asking price and work with Sports Capital. Otherwise they will have to pay them back for the money that has been put into the club. Lets not forget the massive shirt sponsor that could be lost}

17.) 29 Jan 2014
Haigh I believe has been a very naughty boy and that is why flowers is so pi**ed off. Flowers wants his money back after been sold a dummy by haigh and other issues will be coming out over the next few days that will paint one of the stars of this catastrophe in a very murky light. Would it be great if for once we could be be saying how well everything was going and what a club we have! I hope I am wrong and a deal is sorted and we have millions to spend!

18.) 29 Jan 2014
Ed maybe you need to do a private piece to GFH and try and make them see sense before they sell us down the river good and proper

Hope not- MOT

{Ed013's Note - I just hope they don't panic sell to an idiot! People are slagging David Haigh off, but he has seen the potential with the club and realises GFH are in no position to push forward. That is why he has got the 3 other people involved to take the club to the next level, I just hope he comes through and is successful. What worries me is how a club as big as Leeds with some of the highest attendances in the league can be in so much debt! You don't see other clubs suffer as much as this and I assure you Leeds are not the highest payers when it comes to wages. Through tickets, LUTV, match day sales and the superstore Leeds make a lot more money than most due to the massive fan base}

Ed013, so much debt? have you any idea just how much this is?

{Ed013's Note - I don't know exact amounts mate, but I know they have put 6 million in which I think is extortionate considering the amount of money Leeds bring in and GFH are not poor!}

20.) 29 Jan 2014
Has it ever became public who members 3 and 4 of sport capital are? I believe they are the best option for us but I have a feeling cellino is going to be our next owner! I know absolutely nothing about Cagliari apart from the crazy manager dismissals but does the guy invest in the playing side of them?

21.) 30 Jan 2014
Ed my concern with Haigh is not personality or indeed what he tried to do but moreso his inegrity. We hear that he was surprised at what they found and that His consortium with AF reduced their offer. All seems fair enough but Haigh is firstly the current MD and must have the clubs accounts available and is still an executive and former director of GFH? this duality raises a lot of questions to me and makes me suspicious of motive As feet in both camps must mean conflict of interest. I want to believe that all the good stuff but feel we are been mis led. The ref to the Cellino and representatives not been fit and proper will have to include the FA's agreement and I still don't believe this is an option. Certainly noy one we want to see as Leeds fans. Wish we could get a clear statement from someone!#MOT

{Ed013's Note - I agree mate, it baffles me that they didn't know what GFH are hiding, if anything at all. It does need a statement and not the day after transfer deadline day. Fans need to know, imagine hearing on the day of the Huddersfield match that everything has fallen through and some players left the day before. I would fear a similar result like the Sheffield game could be on the cards. Leeds needs someone in charge that is right for the club, someone that is honest and gives Brian what he needs, time and of course money for players}

all I can say is BMD is the best LEEDS UTD have had for ages, and if we allow him to leave due to this takeover saga the we need to ask the question . who thinksabout all the loyal leeds fans because it does not seem the board do.

In terms of FA/Football League fit for ownership qualification, I don't believe that an owner has to be a director, and while there were plenty of paragraphs detailing disqualifying reasons for directors (including corruption and 'an offence involving a Dishonest Act'), I saw none specifically mentioning owners. although the regulation is titled 'Appendix 3 - Owners and Directors Test'.

So maybe there is loophole there.

Anyway, if anybody will be switched on to the legal side, it should be David Haigh, according to his CV 'David is a solicitor of the Supreme Court of England and Wales, a member of the UK Institute of Directors and the International Bar Association'
