If the football league try to oust Cellino after all that`s happened with this club I can see some serious demonstrations and anger from Leeds fans across the board. I have never demonstrated, been on a march or any such thing in all my 47 yrs, however, if the FL do try something I will gladly participate in any protest necessary to show the FL what a bunch of w.s they are. The sooner we get out of this corrupt league the better.

Agree Trev, I'll be there with you. Time we put a stop to all this sh**e

Together with about 40000 Leeds fans and maybe more. He already had positive effect on commerce in Yorkshire. However, I do not believe there will be an oust attempt.

Agree with your conclusion George. Its a massive gamble to try to oust Massimo now. Not sure it would be legal until after appeal, can you make a decision based on a judges wording of a decision that may be overturned at appeal? Also the FL are supposed to protect their members to ensure financial wellbeing, forcing Massimo to sell would have disasterous ramifications for Leeds. Can you find another suitable buyer immediately, due diligence could take months, what if Cellino priced Leeds out of the market? Massimo will fight tooth and nail and it would be very damaging for the FL. Too many cans of worms will be opened. There are too many imponderables for the FL to risk it in my opinion

Be very surprised if FL would want to go to court to oust Massimo, then they would have to answer how the board can be impartial when they all have or have had interests in championship clubs. Also the judge will look at precedents set in previous takeovers and what tests were carried out and what previous punishments were meted out regarding failures, Its not all straightforward as the FL have their criteria but it is how , when and if it is implemented. Legally I think they will find it nar on impossible to move Massimo. If they say he has to sell he could put any price on our club, 200 mill, and wait for a buyer, what can they do, its not all we say you do as the FL think

From what I can work out and someone correct me if I'm wrong please, new law this year says that the conviction for a fine is spent after 1 year from date of conviction, therefore if he drags this out till March 18th 2015 then it ain't going to matter a toss anyway, as it will be spent then. Only 5 months to go!!

Hi lads n lasses
Bit of advice if you would. has anyone heard of LUFC Car Club? As I have recieved an email saying I've won a couple of tickets to the Wendies game?! Seem to remember entering and liking summat thro fb ha(bit of beer on board if I remember rightly). Is this a genuine LUFC Car Club and are these tickets real and not just a con etc etc. Cheers any advice or own experience welcomed!
Cheers in advance MOT

I've won as well, it was on the OS and all you had to do was give your Memb No to Enter. Says tickets are for East Upper with free drink per ticket, I go to most games anyway so this is a bonus, email back to claim ticket, Hopefully see you there.

I've won nowt :(

Wish I'd have entered now

Do you think its all legit? Or am I being over sceptical?lol

And m, just to ease your mind, all ligit, tickets arrived this morning with accompanying letter.

I signed the 'Harvey Out' last week and most of my mates have, only a couple are LUFC fans too. So get anyone you know Leeds fans or not, its not just about us its also about the corruption in the game.

{Ed001's Note - and the fact that a man who has been responsible for financially destroying a number of clubs is now in charge of deciding who gets to run others! Ludicrous to have that man anywhere near the sport or any sport for that matter.}

Can't we get our supporters club to contact other sympathetic supporters clubs with a view to them signing it too?

Good idea guys but shouldn't we try to get a few high profile Leeds fans to sign up if they already haven't e.g. Keith lemon, Chris Moyles and maybe a few Leeds MPs. This will make the petition more credible.

The fa I no have rules but if there is any common sense left in this world they must let cellino carry on being the savior of our club the fa passed gfh and the finance bank and they would of ruined our club so it proves that what people see on paper is not allways as it seemed cellino has prob made a mistake we don't no but what I do no he has done right with lufc even if he has made a few people redundant f a please use your common sence for the good of football or you will have a major battle on your hands don't have a vendetta because you lost the appeal because that's what it will look like
