can just imagine the FL board meetings go something like this. takeovers chaps. charlton by some foreign chappy seems ok tick. florists by some foreign chap seems ok tick. man city same tick. birmingham same tick. leeds utd woa hang on a minute. why would a foreigner want them. seems a bit weird, better look into this a bit more. can't they find a bates like chap to put them into admin again. we could make new rules and dock them 20 or better still all their points for a season.
wait a minute . don't they already have people like that in charge already.
happy days leave well alone meeting over. hee hee

Just signed the keep `cov in cov` petition, not a great lover of Coventry I was at the 87 cup semi but football fans should get together on this and keep tw,,, ts such as Kenneth etc out of our game. Go and sign up, can you believe Coventry fans are having a worse time than us.

Valentines Day tomorrow
It is alleged in certain quarters that
a well known sports lawyer representing Massimo may be appearing in Manchester Crown Court tomorrow.
It is mentioned that it might be something to do with an assault on a lady.
Being very careful not to risk slandering anyone but it is believed that this is the guy who may have relieved Paul Hunt and BMD of their duties on or about 31st Jan 2014.
Funny old world.

Why are you trying to be coy? We all know Chris Farnell is in court on domestic abuse charges. Its been mentioned loads of timee

Crmd

Agree0 Disagree0

Are you really suggesting that a patner in a high profile law firm would sack 2 people knowing legally he did not have a leg to stand on?

Agree0 Disagree0

What! Valentines day! Tomorow. Oops I'm in dog house. Oh you meant the lawyer guy- oh well are lass might be up in court for same thing when she gets no card in morning

I find it intriguing that some people post negative opinions on the banter/rumour pages and then when someone takes time to write a well informed, thought out and researched reply they suddenly disappear.

Can't imagine it's due to them suddenly changing there opinion, can't wait till march and then everyone is accountable to an extent for what they say.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I have not disappeared and stand by what I think about Survivor. I may be wrong and if I am, I will hold my hands up and say so. It won't be the first or last time Stellar. Here's why I think he's a crank. Firstly his posts are hardly groundbreaking are they. He's estimated that Cellino will get FL approval anywhere this time of Christmas. He announced that the sale was done when we all expected it around that day and it was probably in the public domain anyway. He probably goes on End of The World websites and predicts Armageddon every day! Also for a guy that claims he is very ITK and battling with Bates to set up Yorkshire Radio, why the hell is he on here 24/7. If I was such a billy big balls I wouldn't be almost camped out on this site. I might be wrong but I think he's a dreamer who posts predictable stuff. If I'm wrong, then sorry Survivor and can I have free tickets for me and me lad for the next home game?

I also agree with Mad Mick, also if i'm wrong I will walk the the magic sponge in the buff. Big Mark

Cellino and Leeds, the FA's ok within three weeks but will not be president
02/13/2014 13:42 by Marco Conterio

According to reports Isola24Sport the ok by the Football Association on the passage of Leeds United Massimo Cellino could get between 10 and 21 days. The Federation has taken up the documentation, this also leads to a shift of the purchase of Elland Road, installation of the English club. Cellino will be the owner of Leeds but not the president, where he will be confirmed Salah Nooruddin. (sorry about the english it was originally in Italian)MOT

Believable0 Unbelievable0

So its not a question of waiting for a decision then? Its just waiting for confirmation its OK. Decision appears to have been madeĀ¬!

Agree0 Disagree0

Poster-yes what forza Italian football press are stating - cellino plans to buy the stadium back must now wait between 10 days to a maximum of 21 days. they show photo of cellino not looking happy. MOT

am I the only leeds fan who thinks brian mcdermott is a poor manager, dislikable as well as annoyinhg to look at. sack the useless gimp, what's he done since he's been there, tried to be everyones chum? sap

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Well if the rumours are true and he's looking at bringing Smith back, if that's all he can come up with FFS leave now, can't see Cellino sanctioning a move like that in any capacity, we need far better than Smith and hopefully Cellino will provide the finances.

Agree0 Disagree0

I totally agree, Fergie did nt make friends ( Hunt, Kebe ) he was ruthless and a winner. It's a results business and they have not been good enough. I am also fed up of moaning about resources, Burnley are doing well without much. I think he can't get them fired up, the games against Forest &Blackburn they appeared to be going through the motions.

burnley have had the parachute payments don't forget and leeds have had nowt

Burnley have had parachute payments and this is their best season in a good while. Rome wasn't built in a day, neither will Leeds.

Mr cellino shouting his mouth off about purchasing elland rd today, another one who doesn't stick to his word.before you say why would he buy elland rd when he's not got FL approval, well my argument to that is, the man hasn't even provided them with all the documentation they need, so he must have known approval wouldn't have been done by today but he still spouted about going to buy elland rd.also why hasn't he provided them with all the documentation, has he something to hide, phil hay was the man who said documentation hadn't been received, so I believe that to be correct.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Who said the document s. We're not given by Cellino it could have been gfh. You need a life if you think he's going to buy E R before he's approved
Get a life

According to Italian media he has provided all docs now and so have GFH.

http://forzaitalianfootball.com/2014/02/the-fa-to-decide-on-cellinos-leeds-united-bid/

Perhaps he is going to announce take over complete, purchase ER & loan signings all at once? He would like the PR boost an announcement like that would give him! Clear signal of intentions.

Ed, this is not for publication but what stops somebody misrepresenting anyone by putting someone else's i'd at the bottom of a post?

Its a bit late to complain, but I have read the dodgy Rumours for the first time in months and have seen one about Beckford in October, that certainly was not from me?

{Ed013's Note - That is why we are turning the site into a registered user site only. We cannot stop people pretending to be others but try stopping it when people use their emails and we have other ways that we can tell. Sometimes they get through, but whats to say someone has the same name or initials and it is just a coincidence. By registering it will stop all of this}

Thanks Ed, your correct, perhaps longer names would avoid confusion as I am sure it was not deliberate?

Agree0 Disagree0

Yes sure my name is pa and another poster uses pa aswell

Agree0 Disagree0

So I should probably register a sign-off name?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed013's Note - Everyone will require one by March for posts to register, still working on an exact date}

Fairplay. done and dusted.

A very good move in my opinion!

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Feb 2014 12:30:56
Genuinely would love to see Alan Smith make a return, Ideally as a player-coach. What have we got to lose? Doubt his wages are as high anymore!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

No for me I am afraid. He is from our past, we now have to move forward

when is the loan window closed anybody?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

It will close on the fourth Thursday in March this year the 28th.

Agree0 Disagree0

I believe it is the 27th March, so plenty of time to bring in some much needed quality still, even if it is from abroad (Italy more likely if Cellino takes over).

Pretty sure you can only bring play
ers in from England mate

Agree0 Disagree0

We must likely won't see any signings before Friday (21st), as that will give the maximum amount of days on loan until the play off final.

BMD says on YEP that we're still in the promotion race, he really is in cuckoo land, he keeps playing his tosh and tactica we'll be battling relegaton! Get real.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

We are not even the little horses of this league, although I believe we could be the chihuahuas that run through the horses legs but we're definitely not the jaguars.

Agree0 Disagree0

Hopefully we now have enough points to avoid relegation but I with you on the tosh football front.

Agree0 Disagree0

I will have a pint of what Brian is drinking! Although technically we could still do it - if only we had Billy's magic boots.

I have seen on SDN that mac wants to bring Alan smith back for experience in the squad. All I can say is not this rumour again! Thought we'd kill it off when he joined MK dons? Pointless rumour IMO.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Its going backwards for alan smith, but at this moment in time, I wouldn't say no to beckford or beccio, I know its on going, but at least the goals would flow again, wes hoolhan anyone?

Agree0 Disagree0

Becchio hasn't played since he left us, so is not the answer. Beckford never been the same since he left. Wes hoolahan? Yes please we desperately need a playmaker and he would be brilliant for us

Agree0 Disagree0

Players I would go for, britt assombalonga peterboro wes hoolahan norwich chris mguire sheff wed and harry mguire sheff utd

Agree0 Disagree0

And maybe jay Emanuel Thomas, Bristol city

Agree0 Disagree0

And hearing gatuso wanting to go back to rangers, cellino use your Italian powers, he's a beast lol

Agree0 Disagree0

Agree with Skeggy, i'd add Baldock with his 17 goals for relegation battling Bristol City, and Moussa of Coventry

Agree0 Disagree0

If BMD signs Allan Smith the Italian should fire him at half time during the next match! In front of the traveling fans. In the middle of the pitch.

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Feb 2014 01:04:34
Very funny I'm laughing reading the answers but they are all nowhere near right.
Please keep trying as I want to give these tickets away in the next few days.
A clue
Remember after their meeting BMD gave a press conference where he said something like 'I've just gone through the worst week of my football life'
Everyone thought it was something to do with Festa but it was more to do with Massimo.

Do you want to be the manager of Leeds?

Do you enjoy being the Leeds manager?

Agree0 Disagree0

I know this is going to make me look dumb but ed what does fppt mean

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed013's Note - Where have you seen this? Is it something to do with fair play procedure or maybe Free Power Point Training. Or is that what Cellino said to Brian}

Fit and Proper Person Test?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed013's Note - Makes sense, I was edging towards the power point one ;-)

Do you want to be famous - like me? PA

Agree0 Disagree0

Cellino: Brian, you do not yet realize your importance. You have only begun to discover your power. Join me, and I will complete your training. With our combined strength, we can end this destructive conflict and bring order to the Leeds United.
Brian: I'll never join you!
Cellino: If you only knew the power of the Dark Side. Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father.
Brian: He told me enough! He told me you killed him!
Cellino: No. I am your father.

Agree0 Disagree0

Give the tickets to Nottswhite! That is brill. May the force be with you. PA

Did'nt the FL state a while back that they did not issue any statements on the results of any FPPT and that was down to the club if they wanted to release details?

If that's so will we ever know?

As GFH would probably say that that was not a supporter issue!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Of course we will know, if he passes the test cellino will be the new owner of the club, if he doesn't he won't be!
