Just checking on the Bahrain Bourse under company announcements. Re GFH's announcement today and how they have/are restructuring there debt and borrowing 500mill dollars to allow the bank to unfreeze there assets.

Does make you wonder if GFH were in a position to have sold Leeds united to Cellino any earlier and its GFH who have held up the process.

It does also now back DH statement regarding administration. We now know that money is available, 220 million dollars worth.

Regardless what goes on with cellino I feel better now I know GFH do now have a pot to piss in.

Got to admit i've never been optomistic about the Cellino takeover. From the very beginning he sounded like a bit of a dodgy character and I think the only reason GFH actually talked to him was that they were desparate and his was the only takeover that they knew they could get some money up front. I know we need some money but I feel having him as chairman would be bad for the club. Anyway I know people are going to disagree with this post but this is how I feel.

I was completely against it, then more than in favour of it, now I'm still of the opinion it would be better to have him than have GFH. GFH have taken a lot of positive steps forward for the club which people seem to forget due to all this mess but they have proven recently that they have no ambition left for the club, whereas cellino actually does.

So the fl have hired an expert in italian law to sort this mess out. Either way we need to know asap so we can move forwad with. or move on from massimo. Agree with people saying no other club would have to endure this. and also well done yesterday lads. i'd rather play crap and win 2-1, than play well and get nothing ( burnley)

Shaun Harvey telling you to tell us not to worry he's rubber stamped the take over and everything is going to be rosey now!

Bobby McFerrin - singing 'Don't Worry Be Happy'!?

Ok i'll do it!

No jeff I don't know, who phoned your business on Friday?

Your psychiatrist?!?

Your wife's boyfriend

Why ask people to guess u never answer posts anyway

I know Jeff, it was the FL asking for your advice, they wanted to know if in your opinion he was an honest chap. My guess is I you told them you would think about it over the weekend and let them know on Monday so they can make their decision.

Come on Jeff - share - who? And was it a wrong number or did they have something to say?

Jeff,

My guess is the men in white coats called your company asking if a "highly restrictive jacket" would help matters.

Given that you are still typing, I reckon they were given the wrong answer. either that or you are on the run.

Listen. if you are mad enough to be a Leeds fan. like myself. and most others on here. my advice is you keep running.

But.

Stop when you hit Cagliari in Italy. and give there owner a boot up the Gnu and tell him to pay his tax bills and stop chucking around and get the deal done.

Santa Claus?

John Fitz!

That Lord Lucan! What a cad he is

A solicitor putting a gagging order on you hopefully

I don't think BMd thought Matt Smith was going to improve as much as he has. Brought Wickham in and has to play him but can't drop Smitth to the bench. Hence Wickham wide left. Wickham was awful at Burnley and dreadful for the first half against Millwall. He looked disinterested. I kept an eye on him for a time in the first half. Most of the time he wasn't even watching the play. Once when we had an unexpected break he wasn't watching and ended 40 yards behind the play. If he had been alert he could have got into a position to threaten their goal. Didn't happen. Second half he was much better. Had Vinnie given him a bit of a kicking? If Smith plays I would partner him with Wickham with Ross playing in just behind and in areas where he can do soon damage. I still say playing both Murphy AND Mowatt in the same mid field is a mistake. One or the other not both. Welcome three points but we were not great. Millwall passed the ball better the us and seemed more comfortable on the ball. Long throw in and a goal keeping error got us the goals. No keeper should let the ball through his legs from that angle. Probably at fault for the first one as well.

I know life isn't fifa but I play with Leeds 442 diamond Wickham smith up front and Rm just behind em enuf goals maybe BM should try this out rather then play Wickham out wide out of position. Anyone think we can still make the play offs or are we just gunna limp across the line now? If so let's try some kids out has Dawson bulked up yet? Hows killock getting on?

if mccormack wasn't smashing them in for fun still I would play 4-3-3 ross and wickham either side of smith . they both seem to be crossing the ball most of game anyway .

Play pro evo, fifa ok if your 12, vinny.

I'd play Lorimer, Clarke, Jones, Giles and Gray in front of the defence . how we wish!
