West ham will be back. Like it or not but think worst will happen.
Get in pennant while he's free, far better than stewart.
Use ross money for le fondre and mackail smith.
Take matt taylor from w ham as part of deal.
Thats not bad deal all round in my opinion.
Even kenwynne jones. Shrew leeds

I tend to agree with you again Shrew

Not a bad package but how much of this can happen before any take over is completed? Where is our Manager as well?

Thats the prob. It doesn't need a takeover for ross to go but prob needs one for more quality to come in. shrew leeds

What has Craig Mackail-Smith done all season?

Cms been injured but on way back

Open letter to gfh (or whoever actually runs lufc currently)

If you sell RMc you are abandoning any hope of achieving success this season. If/When you sell him to the spammers make sure you factor in a drop off of 20 to 30% from ticket receipts for the rest of the season. The fans which have packed ER to the rafters will drift away. Why should supporters turn out for mediocrity week after week, showing their commitment if you can't show yours. Leeds fans are absolutely fed up with this carry on every t'fer window. Before january we all got a bit giddy thinking that we may have turned a corner and that we will keep our best players and genuinely build a squad that can challenge at the top of this division. I see no evidence of this at the moment. Thourougly cheesed off at present.
Be warned!

Real supporters turn up no matter what is happening at board room level ill be there tuesday regardless of who owns the club about time fans stopped making excuses!

Why do you think they do what they want, because we will keep turning up, maybe we should learn them a harsh lesson and hit them where it hurts there pockets maybe go to game but boycott beer, burgers programme stands etc.

Your seriously deluded if you think boycotting is the answer all that does is kill the club so your telling me you wanna see no one turn up for games then what we have no club at all to support yeah great idea not?

Leeds turn down £3.5m bid what's the betting they accept £4m - as they say same s**t different day

I can't understand why we seem to attract nothing but as Ken would say Shisters! We must be one of the best prospects for a serious investor

It been a s**t few years but it just seems to get worse!

West ham are trying to get ings now younger and better but more money

Well done leeds for rejecting, if rhodes is worth 8 million surely ross is worth at least 5. Just been made captain and is our top earner I imagine. So doubt he would want to go, not to them anyway. Just get this frikin takeover done now. Vinny.

Well said Vinny. JD

Talk about De Ja Vue, its the same every transfer window and the same rubbish again with this so called takeover, The parties involved go silent everyone else thinks they know better than the actual facts, no doubt all involved will have signed a confidentiality agreement as per with this club, we ALL know if there is a takeover it will happen just as the window closes then we will get all the usual lies along with no signings yet again. these past 10 years of the Leeds Utd saga just goes from bad to worse an gets more painful each year.

Hands off Allardyce!

At the end of the day lufc is just a complete mess.
We thought we had turned a corner with the owners but its no clearer that last year.
Theres every chance ross will go. Why shouldn't he. The wages prob double.
Didnt ronaldo love man u? Where is he now.
Money talks.
Its about who on earth can come in. We beed at least 3 or4 if ross goes.worrying times indeed.

So what happened to the Good news this week Mr Haig? Is it selling our captain? Rumours that the takeover has collapsed and Haig consortium no longer has excluesitivitey might explain why it has all gone very quite? We deserve better than this! MOT

Ed, How much truth do you think off this?
West ham bidding 2.75 million plus 2 loans for McCormack.

{Ed013's Note - They have made a bid, which should be rejected. The only way I can see them accepting is if the takeover has fallen through and Sports Capital need to be paid what they are owed. Otherwise it will take a bigger bid and at least Vaz Te, unless Ross wants to go, then that's a whole new ball game. Big test for the board this}

Who actually accepts or rejects this bid while we are in process of being taken over
surely new owners would block any sales as this would slightly de-value our club

And GFH will block any purchases as they have already shown!

24 Jan 2014 16:15:53
can anyone remember my post last week saying I knew somebody that told me that they would make a bid for ross if there one target didn't come off?
i said a prem team, lower half,
and I got ridiculed.
well check it out, west ham gone for him.
on tv now.
perhaps might take more notice of my posts. shrew leeds

Wow! You are obviously someone in the know, can you tell me tomorrow's lottery numbers?

Well if he goes we will be playing against him next season.

U wish mate.i have never posted saying I know anything before, where as most say I was talking crap. Nice to be proved right but wish it was wrong. God knows where we are if he goes.shrew leeds

They wanted the big guy whos now going ti everton. Ross is weird next target after the 6ft 8 man. Good for us but he won't keep hammers up. Shrew leeds

Wow!! You predicted that a lower half premiership team would want the top scorer in the championship. Well I'm blown away by your obvious knowledge.

Thanks for the wow. But wasnt a prediction. I posted a fact in detail. Not a rumour rubbish what most peopke make up.
Oh and heres another. Palace or hull will be in for byram this window

west ham make bid for McCormack. Let's see how much our current owners are looking to the future

No doubt they will sell Ross Mc, then run out of time to find a replacement. Feeling like we are getting shafted as fans again.

24 Jan 2014 17:27:03
The only future the current owners are looking to is their own. Hence they are trying to sell!

24 Jan 2014 16:09:16
moaned at on here about McCormack to West Ham, the rumour is still going around

24 Jan 2014 15:50:55
The club need to step forward and for once in their lives come clean on take over fans will have much more respect that way. It's all getting out of hand, come on haigh speak up

"We are talking, checking the numbers, but I'm not a buyer, if anything, an adviser to the buyers, " Cellino told Tuttomercatoweb.

"I'm proud that this consortium has contacted me, we talked with Leeds, and are like friends.

"They have great fans, are looking to become a top team, no doubt."

{Ed013's Note - Where is this from?}

Its an article on "Forza Italian Football". The headline is:

"Cagliari owner only advising on Leeds United takeover"

Happy to put the link on if you want ED.

{Ed013's Note - Yes mate, that would be fine}

I am not the original poster by the way

DS

{Ed013's Note - ok mate}

From Kevin pogorzelski on: forza Italian footballsee now!

Difficult to se this italian big-shot beeing involved as a friend or consultant? Proves there is something going on!

I think this Massimo guy could be a lot better for our club than people think. He's very popular with the fans of Cagliari. Yes he's been in trouble with the law but this is down to trying to help his club, get a usable stadium despite the beurocracy that has stopped him doing so. He has got money and is willing to spend it.
The guy is obviously a football fan, and obviously wants his club/s to do well, so bring him in I say and do it quickly, If we do then I can almost guarantee, more quality signings in the last week of transfer window than we've seen in the last ten years.
Agree or disagree with this opinion I don't really care, after all it is just my opinion.

With all the confusion and speculation surrounding Leeds at the moment, surely a statement could be given on the state of play, its not only unnerving for the fans but also the management and players I would imagine, the fans have backed you now show us a little respect, the silence is deafening.

I have just applied for Massimo to be my GOD FATHER in the family sense of course.Big Mark
