From reading the LUST meeting summary notes it seems that there is an indeed a take over being discussed with at 3 parties interested in some way. Doesn't put a timescale on things or ensure that a takeover will indeed be completed.
Anyone interested in the meeting notes go to the lufc trust website.

LUST dont know s**t, which is why they are trying to chuck mud around, they have got there backs up and are out to cause trouble.
Agree0
Disagree0
Say a takeover happens, new owners invest heavily in the squad, we have some marginal success and ER is again under rightful club ownership... all without LUST involvement.
Whether you agree or disagree with LUST's tactic of 'direct action' you have to admit, they've been more a hinderance than a help.

Lets hope this is the case Nicky. I still feel abit apprehensive on what is goin to happen with are club. You don't seem to go far without money in football these days. We should be one of the most attrective clubs about.

And what makes you such a f@cking expert on takeovers? Another champs manager that thinks moving his mouse constitutes managing a football club. No wonder the deals taking so long if the bugger wanting to buy us reads constant negativity on this site. Mate, in business I can assure you that the cleaner knows every bit of business that is going on including the highly confidential stuff... Do you think they lock every fecker up for two months in a room till due diligence is complete? We'll be bought and announced by tomorrow or I'll eat my cats.

Signings may be put on hold for a while after 2 in 2 days which were clearly signed weeks ago. No-one will have been approached while the takeovers been going on so unless its another freebie we signed at the end of the season but are only announcing now i guess we're just gonna have to be patient.
Players i think we may sign after takeover is done (early july):
Kenny
Peltier
DJ Campbell
Gradel
Believable7
Unbelievable16
Lets be right we have players going out on freebies freeing up wages which means we can sign as many freebies as we want as long as they dont cost in wages more than the players leaving
Agree0

First 3 yes, Gradel no. As much as i would love him back i can't see him returning, atleast until we are a premier league team

Gradels a possibility heard he wants a move back, stranger things have happened

Paddy Kenny seen at Woolley services on M1 earlier this week (northbound) just smiled when asked about LUFC
Agree0

My brother said his mate thats friends whith aidie white said it is very unlikely that he will sign for leeds as he has been offered 50% ontop of the wage that leeds are offering him but he also seen kenny at elland road looking around . this will be our next signing

Im a taxi driver in York & youd be surprised what people will tell ya! yorkie

As if a high member of the FA would be taking a hackney cab lol.

If i was from the fa and had loads of money i would use a black cab as well instead of a posh car or having a driver.
Agree0

Your freinds dad not telling the truth no one from leeds will leak that and why would a member of the fa know whats happening at leeds at this moment in time or be ay leeds
Agree0
Disagree0
If hes a high ranking person whos at leeds he will be on about 30k a year so why would he need to get taxis ? i think hen would have is own car dont you ?
Agree0
Disagree0
If he was from the FA the chances are he would possibly be from outside leeds and has come first class on the train in which case getting a taxi to and from the station is possible. I also believe that taxi drivers hear alot of stuff they shouldn't be told. But as i have heard so much crxp on here about the takeover I will believe it when i see it

MOT
SM
Agree0
Disagree0
I'm the poster from the other day who saw him at Rovers ground. He DID say he was in talks after he comes back off holiday (He said he was going this week) and he didn't tell me he had signed for Leeds just that he was speaking to teams in Yorkshire because he likes this part of the country... There is a small possibilty he was in Manchester maybe shopping for his holidays, and maybe he is getting asked by people all the time about where he goes next so maybe he just thinks "sod it, might as well just tell people I'm going Leeds" wish he had said that to me!!
Agree0
Disagree0
What would you prefer if it happened
diouf to sign for us
or
bates resigned
if it does happen, bates would probably say, i've resigned cos i did not want to sign diouf!!
Agree0
Disagree0
Dont believe any one has spoke to him but do believe he will be if not already a leeds player, think he will do a good job just hope the leeds faithful take to him, he is the kind of player who needs his teams fans to love him
Agree0
Disagree0
Good (ish) player but a bit of a loose cannon
Agree0

We at leeds , want honest , decent , hard working players , but for me spitting in sopmeones face , once can be seen as re mist , bur he seems to like it , as good a plater as he is , do we really want him , we are on our arse tbh , lets build a better prospect about our club
Agree0
Disagree0
Why would he tell a random person who he bumped into in the street??
Agree0
Disagree0
Diuff has not signed foir leeds yet if he had leeds would have announced it that diuff would be joining on 1st of july just like drury and green
Agree0
Disagree0
As a lifelong supporter-55 years-of both LUFC and Celtic I would hate to see Diouf come to our wonderful club.We have regained our reputation as one of the best clubs in England and I would hate to see it ruined by signing a player who proved,at a game against Celtic,that he has no respect for supporters
Agree0

My mate at university lives next door to Diouf in Bolton and knows him well. I asked him if he knew anything about a possible Leeds move and he told me Diouf is planning a move abroad for a big money deal in the middle east
Agree0

@ poster 13 see so diuff live next door to student accomodation ?
Agree0
Disagree0
Poster 13 does not say he lives next to student accomodation he says his mate at university lives next door to Diouff that could be true as in his parents house etc etc
Agree0
Disagree0
He's an average player, who is getting on. He brings trouble to most clubs, and is disliked by nearly all fans (and probably players alike) so is not needed by our great club.
We need unity, harmony and togetherness, and he brings none of the above.

If we do sign Diouf...then we've got to give him support. He has that touch of class that we are distinctly lacking at the moment (Especially if Snoddy goes). He would do well for us, sure he's had a bad past but nobody likes us anyway!
Agree0
Disagree0
Wouldnt know weather to believe this or not because diouff probably would tell every one... and the first comment coming from doncaster when hes not there anymore :/ ... and as for some other comments, ive said for the last few weeks i wouldnt be suprised if we had already agreed terms withplayers just not said anything, yes it were just a guess but then the next two days we signed two players.

Was a good player in his final season, bit greedy and nearly cost us promotion! He's made his bed tough enjoy France :-)
Agree0

Not going to happen, forget tiwtter, forget rumours just use common sense...he did well last year in france, has the loyatly of a rat and would put himself before leeds, if he comes back to england he would have a few suitors with more money and status then us...if he comes back id fancy it would be for hammers they have long admired him and in better place than leeds, come on fellas look forward not backwards...its boring and dull...we want the next gradel not the old one back
Agree0
Disagree0
The thing that made him goodwas, his speed and his unpradictability on the ball.
I would have him back in a flash. Snoddy and him caused all sorts of problems for defences first year back.
It just all could start coming togeather now.

A contact of mine, Jeremy Gledhurst, good friends with Peter Lorimer - Jeremy was told by Peter that should the takeover go through, both he and Shaun Harvey would remain on the board and we would have a new chairman. Peter also told Jeremy that there is no truth in rumours that we are in discussions with anyone from the Middle East and that the only consortium to put their money where their mouth is has been a group from the United States. Discussions with this group are so far advanced that they are hoping for a deal to be struck by Friday 29th June 2012 at the absolute latest. I have no idea who the new chairman would be but it does seem as though the group from the US are the front and only runners. If I find out further info, I shall post on here.

No way Lorimer would retain a place on the board. He's only present now as Ken believes he represents the fans. He's already admitted he knows nothing about the supposed deal.
Agree0

This is the biggest load of B****x written here for quite a while.
I think we all know that Peter Lorimer is an honourable man and wouldn't dream of spouting his mouth off like this. The author should hang his head in shame for this foul attempt at muddying a great mans name.

So Tom Lees, star of our defence, just signed a new contract, not in team? Another guesser....
Agree0

I think Drury signed just for rotation option, he's already 33 y o. Connoly's versatile player, play him in left and in the centre Lees rules!
i still doubt about Gradel. Beckford only will cost us much money
Agree0
Disagree0
I would love to know why people think that Gradel will come back. it wont happen he has moved on, so should we.
Agree0
Disagree0
And equally why people consistently toy with the fantasy of Beckford returning. He won't and he's overrated anyway.
Agree0
Disagree0
Drury will be a starter for sure, Warnock has already stated that he does'nt think there is a better left back at our level.
Agree0
Disagree0
Warnock usually plays 4-2-3-1, so im not sure how theses players would fit into that system
but i agree, i wouldn't play Lees either, Connolly or Fitz Hall both free and both better
Agree0
Disagree0
Tom Lees not in the team....... future Leeds captain & England centre half!
Agree0
Disagree0
Jermaine Beckford and Max Gradel both freely chose to leave Leeds United for some of the greener grass and some fans only remember the good bits of both ... Beckford scored the goal that got us promoted but was, at times, greedy, selfish, occasionally lazy and missed a bagful of chances; Gradel was electric at times and scored some spectacular goals but his disciplinary record left a bit to be desired and probably cost us points. Time to move on people and leave them in the bed they made for themselves, or will their fans still be hankering for their return when they reach 40?
Agree0
Disagree0
I agree with #08 - Beckford was made to look good by the hard work Becchio put in on his behalf, if he was good as he believes himself to be Moyes would not have off loaded him as quickly as he did.
As for rumours of Diouff coming - mate at work who is a Rovers ST holder said he was good .....so long as you wrapped ball up for him .... we need players that will go looking for work NOT them that will let other 10 do a job & then be-moan poor service when they do nowt.

Very quick outfield player but he did jump ship (or am I wrong)

If you actually check his official twitter account, he hadn't stated what you say recently, no mention of a poor season at SE.
Yes he has stated last year he still thinks and loves Leeds and would return to us. I'd love him back, but in a year or two maybe?

Leeds are well on their way to been taken over within the coming days hence why warnock hasn't left yet and why the signings have been announced in the past few days, I wouldnt make stuff like this up if I knew it wasn't true, I know a council member who has been in touch with Shaun Harvey recently

I doubt Harvey is disclosing anything to Leeds Council Memebers about the takeover, just some council bod wanting to seem important I reckon.

I have heard from a good source of mine, Mr H P Brown that Leeds are to make a loan offer for conner wickham of Sunderland. Would do a job in championship. M.O.T

Dont get me wrong, would be a good signing, but warnock said he will only sign players permanently and not on loan. hope we get him though.

Like as if the whole of Leeds United are going to keep 100% silent on the whole investment/takeover thing and Warnock is just going to go on radio and tell the world what is happening?
I think not......

According to Lust. Leeds are pretty much in the sh1t with money and cash flow. Hence the takeover / investment need.
There are irregularities in the book keeping and LUFC have been asked by companies house to resubmit the financial accounts..
Sounds about right for Bates..
Their words not mine !
Believable13
Unbelievable9
According to Lust! after all they are completey impartial!
Agree0

I would not trust LUST as far as i could throw them!
Agree0

Most of the discrepancies were minor issues and in all honesty are the responsibility of the accountant to ensure that numbers in different parts of the accounts match. As a business owner that's what you pay accountants for.
Agree0
Disagree0
And like this hasn't been the case for how many years now?
Agree0
Disagree0
LUST are the ones who highlighted these 'irregularities' and published them to anyone and everyone in the first place, even going so far as to point out errors in grammar... They seem to have a policy of 'Bates out at any cost' and are blind to the damage it may do to the club. Bates and LUST are as dangerous as each other in my opinion.
Agree0
Disagree0
Nobodys "books" have been looked at more than Leeds Uniteds over the last few years, what with the first takeover by Bates and then when the Football League and other Governing bodies wanted to now about our ownership only a year or so ago, so I would suggest if there where irregularities in there they would have come to light long ago.
I think LUST are just talking nonsense and speculating as they are completely out of the loop on these talks.
Agree0
Disagree0
Lust have and are doing more than all you moaning sh**ts put together. It's only because of them that we may finally get rid of Bates who is crippling our beloved club.
Agree0
Disagree0
Depends on what you 'want' any errors to suggest;
1: If you were going to 'cook' the books, wouldn't you make pretty sure that they looked immacualte?
2: You think that sloppy book-keeping in and of itself suggests something much more sinister is going on.
3: The accountants are simply incompetent and their work peer-reviewed (if at all), by the incapable.
My personal feeling is that it's much more likely to be closer to the 3rd option. Copious bitter experience of finance departments and boardrooms tells me never to discount incompetence; the UK business pandemic.
Agree0
Disagree0
Can't understand the levels of hatred towards LUST. As a Leeds fan, you're under moral obligation to support an organisation who very clearly desire.only that the club is run as a football club and that the fans money is channelled into a team rather than paying off needlessly libelled individuals. Even if they know nothing about a takeover, they still meet regularly to listen to the many gripes of all fans. The Trust isn't anti-Bates out.of principal, but the way he is killing the club falls well outside of the ideals laid out in the vision statement.
Agree0
Disagree0
I don't 'hate' LUST at all, nor am I a moaning sh*t for speaking against them. I distrust LUST and I distrust Bates. Both use methods that can cause harm to the club that I love, end of story. I would like to see the back of Bates as much as anyone, but I disapprove of the methods that LUST have used as much as the ones Bates has used. Those people who feel that LUST are the solution to everything need to grow up and realise that not everything is black and white. I support the ideals of LUST, but not their methods and there are many in LUST who feels that makes me a Bates supporter. 'With us or against us' does not apply in this case. I am not 'with' either - I am 'with' Leeds United.
Agree0
Disagree0
It's supporters like you that are bringing our club down, you sit on here saying you don't trust Bates but do sweet FA about it. I think people like you are jealous of Lust cos they have the balls to challenge Bates something you would never do.
Agree0
Disagree0
What a load of old twaddle. Do I bring the club down by attending all home games with the season ticket I have renewed every year for nearly 2 decades? Do I bring the club down by shopping in the store or buying the programmes and food? Do I hell. Do LUST encourage demonstrations and tell people to stop attending matches? YES. Do LUST publish errors in accounting to people who could fine LUFC or dock LUFC points as a result? YES. Is Bates a person who needs to go? YES..... I don't know how you can DARE suggest I bring my club down simply because I question LUST's approach just as much as I question that of Bates. Get a grip.

My second post in 1 day for first time poster! I did state earlier that talks were going very nicely indeed!! And can i just inform every one that by Friday we will all be very happy Leeds fans!! Im not saying that we win the league yet i predict a top two finish. The good news that is coming out of Leeds at present will continue to come out for next couple of months!! If you think here we go again... I told Leeds rumours talks was running smoothly before anyone else did!! some one Jordan Rhodes how about Rhodes Bedford? The possibilities of this happening is as possible as Leeds united football club been billionaire by Friday tea time... come on Leeds

Daddy Ed013 tell them all off please, he's being bullied and its setting a bad impression {Ed013's Note - Now now people, all fans of the same team and this is a rumours page}
Agree0

I think what he was saying - in his own littley way - was that we will be so overrun with pennies on Friday - we could buy both players if we wanted to. My personal view is that Becks left cos he wanted premier league footy and more money (it's always the mone). If he had stayed with us, he would have got it as his goals would have got us promoted. As it is, he's had his fingers burnt, shown no loyalty to any of his clubs and can stay where he is.

You havnt got a clue who i am or who i may or not know. All i said is tomorrow tea time all us Leeds fans will be happy trust me!! And as for been bullied lol
