How can flowers say he loves the club after what he has done? Shown his true colours I think. What a traitor! He doesn't have the financial clout anyway to take us forward. GET THE ITALIAN IN is what u say. We have wanted some one with his kind of money for ages. let's take a chance. After all what do we have to lose?

Flowers is worth around £100m so he's hardly a pauper. In his position I'd have done the same. The due diligence allegedly established that he was lied to by GFH during the negotiations (and GFH have not denied this). He lent money to GFH on the basis of a sale to SC and he must have been pretty p1ssed off when he discovered they had massive debts, still owed money to Bates and had reneged on their exclusivity covenant. Frankly this is GFH's doing not Flowers.

Haigh's position is a bit different. As a director of Leeds United he must have know all of this and should have disclosed everything to Flowers, especially given that he was trying to become a business partner through Sports Capital.

Regardless of the arguments over Cellino, Flowers has been very badly treated in this process by GFH and, as someone who runs a business myself, I completely understand why he would react this way.

Just done a bit more digging on this debt and according to the tv it's not due until 2015. If there hasn't been a default on a repayment then I don't see how the court can issue a bankruptcy order. If the tv then Flowers is being more of a prat than I realised. I guess it will all come out and make sense in the end.

Probably irrelevant anyway since I expect Cellino to take over very soon and clear the debts.

Saw somewhere that Flowers Petition was on the basis that LUFC wouldn't be able to pay debt when it falls due! If correct LUFC don't even have to pay up but just prove they can!
