From the guardian :

"It is now assumed the League will await the outcome of the tax evasion case against Cellino before making any decision."

So assumed, not definite.

As they say, you used to wrap fish and chips in news papers. Massimo himself is only buying 9.5% on the share allocation., this means he falls below the 10% share allocation limit where the FPPT comes into force. Eleonora Sports will own the balance of the shares, which is a company funded by the Cellino family. Unless the FL reduce the 10% limit or change the rules in another way everything should be okay.

Hi to ed or surviviour or both, I've just read that Cellinio has been accused of fraud, I don't know much about it so could one of you tell me a bit more.

ED 13,
Now we are possibly the same person and that's quite funny.
Everyone needs to chill out as Massimmo is in control and the team is already looking much better.
BMD is now doing a wonderful job with his staff coaching LU and the club are doing well again.

Not Ed or Survivor but perhaps can help.
This is not new. It was known about last week! Cellino t/f ownership of a boat to an American Co to avoid paying Italian tax. Paid US tax (I think.) After 1 month switched it back so now Italians taking action for tax evasion. Some say this transaction was legal.

I like bmd I really do, nice bloke and I really hope he is the one to bring us premiership football. BUT is anyone else frustrated that is he too cautious in games that I think we could go on to win? I just wish he would be a bit more like Grayson in that he would throw everything at the opposition as a last throw of the dice to win games. For instance BMD could of taken Kebe off against QPR and brought Byram on in his place. Byram goes forward and is more attacking than Kebe ever will be, plus he has won us a few pens as well. There have been so many games that we are drawing and he plays it safe for a draw. Will he ever change the game plan when we hopefully get better players or is this the way he will always be? I want him to succeed just not sure if he will!

Agree to a point but like most if not all of the team at the moment none of them can cross the ball very well. He Byram)gives us a lot going forward and I prefferred him in mid field but with the strike force we have we need out and out winger(s). Don't know the answer as the two we have got don't cut it. Byram + Stewart minus Kebe?

its better that we get the point in away games . i'm happy with a point against a strong qpr and against boro to be fair they had kept 9 clean sheets before the game against us since shay given had joined. most of the teams are very closely matched in this league there's 4 or 5 that you can probably expect to get a draw at best then probably 4 or 5 you would expect to get a win then the rest could easily go either way . if the takeover ever gets completed we might be 1 of them 4 or 5 teams that other teams expect to lose against next season

Agree0 Disagree0

QPR had 7 first team players missing. Wasn't a strong side and did you see their back 4

Can someone please give me an insight into Alex Cairns. I have never really seen him play, and would be interested to know whether he is one for the future or someone who is likely to be let go come the end of his contract?

Thanks as always.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Think reason no one has responded to you sooner is that nobody knows the answer!
Haven't seen Alex Cairns in action consistently enough to make any judgement. He hasn't done much wrong when played few minutes for 1st team (a while ago now)and done OK in reserves. Not in same league as Butland (same age) but that probably because he hasn't had chances like Butland has. JURY STILL OUT!

Agree0 Disagree0

Think Eric grimes will be better long term option

Agree0 Disagree0

From what seen of Eric Grimes have to agree he does look better long term prospect. Playing international age group football is good indicator. He does already seem to show signs of commanding the area like Jack Butland does.
