I think Cellino could still take over if it was a definite no then the football league would of said its a no for definite yesterday plus does he not own 10% of elenora sport and his using elenora sport to buy Leeds united which in effect he will only own around 7.5% of Leeds united
the rules are if you own around 30% or more you get tested so why is Cellino getting tested in the first place I reckon he will only put his son forward if he fails anyways I would laugh like a demented hyena if they rejected Cellino and got some mega rich billionaire like bill gates who they couldn't turn down football league would be panicking at the thought of Leeds smashing world football and they would be nothing they could do to stop it

{Ed003's Note - calm down and keep believing,eh I could print some t shirts with that on it or has someone already cornered that market ;) }

Ed0003 print then in Italian also for the Cagliari fans lol

{Ed003's Note - good thinking don't tell anyone until I patent it RoDz }

I think he either owns more than 10% of Elenora sports or he is where most of there money is coming from so that is why he is having to pass the test. Elenora sports have to show where there money is coming from but also if I am right (I may not be, Ed correct me if I am) Cellino is going to be chairman of Leeds so he needs to be checked for that reason. If Cellino fails he can't name his son as another buyer as the same thing as above applies, the son will have to prove where his money came from which will again lead to Cellino. Finally I think it is wishful thinking that we will get someone rich take us over. They would have done that by now if there was someone out there, if fact weren't GFH rumoured to be backed by a billionaire when they took over?

Well were have all you weeds gone then? What's up wasn't the 13 games head start we gave you long enough and as for wickham what a step back he's gone to club who look like a relagation team. up the owls

You write like Jonathan Ross speaks, . do not think you have ever been known to use a word that might send a reader to the dictionary. MOT

It's relegation actually, and i have no interest in a nocturnal bird that can turn its head 360 degrees, mind you, if my wife could do that, wow!

Im sorry but we do still have a game in hand on you so it could all change

"Well were have all you weeds gone then?" did you really ask this on a leeds site i.e. where are leeds fans, . WE'RE HERE

doh. Stick to your own pages.

Like going to the beach and asking, . Where's all the sand then?

Just a thought what he has done is what every company does try and avoid tax, we will all do the same he or his company has got caught out and under Italian law he is still not guilty and could do a deal or get let off if he has a good lawyer. Hopefully the fl will let it go through or do they want us to go into administration what is worse for them

I think the FL will go for a fudge. As Cellino is apparantly innocent until his appeal, but was found guilty, they will probably say they cannot sanction the takeoverbut with him being innocent to the appeal heating, he cannot fail their test. That will mean we will be in limbo.probably leaving Cellino will then walk away of his own accord. Leaving Farnam to take over.

as I see it owners and directors have to pass the fit and proper test so they can run a football club properly in the eyes of the fl. so cellino has run a tiny club in italy for twenty years and he has financed serie a status for them for most of that time .then you consider bates and ridsdales track record, nuff said.

I know I'm probably living in hope than expectation after yesterday but still think Cellino has something up his sleeve, here's my thinking, surely surely he wouldn't pump all the money he has into us already on a chance he could be found innocent from the court case, he's been in football and business far to long and have far to much money to take such a chance like that with him knowing how the Italian courts work he would have surely known he could be found guilty and IF he knew that could severely hamper his fit & proper person test he wouldn't have pumped that much money into us and risk losing it all on a single court case. I still think he is either confident or has another ace up his sleeve but I could be proved very wrong. Just a bit of optimisim on what been a bad 24hrs. What do u think eds, or am I like I say living in optimisim, I just can't see why he would take such a risk knowing this case was coming up, because as we've seen he doesn't like parting with money very easily at the best of time
