tabanelli must have signed on loan for leeds

@taba90: i am ready for this new fantastic experience! com on leeds!

posted 1 day ago

looks a bit of a play boy. don't know much about him.

Believable28 Unbelievable9

Not sure how true but read on another media site that it wasnt sanctioned by someone of authority within gfh so therefor null and void

Agree0 Disagree2

He's equivalent to a league one player!!

Agree1 Disagree3

Got to be better than Habbibbibbooou!

Agree3 Disagree0

So are most of the others.

Agree0 Disagree1

Listed on squad on OS

So much for support. I don't see us brimming over with talent at the moment and I hear the Cagliari fans are not impressed that both have left
He may be garbage but I'll judge after 4-5 games not before

Agree4 Disagree0

"He's equivalent to a league one player!"

I'm guessing you're either a scout in the lower Italian leagues OR have never seen him play and are going by his rating on FIFA 14?

Agree6 Disagree0

Who cares how good he is. he is not a bmd signing so chances are he will not suit his style of play and unbalance the team . in every successful side the manager decides on signings

Agree1 Disagree0

He can't be much worse than the Warnock hardwood.Plus our side ain't brimming with talent, remember Rochdale and Wednesday.Behind every successful side the manager buys the players, I think you will find we are not a successful side.So before you pass judgement, give the lad a chance.

Agree3 Disagree0

He's on os look at players but no photo

Agree1 Disagree0

I will see how he does but i'm not going to go wet myself just because he's an Italian.

Stewart and Kebe are hopefully getting match fit and getting some form. Ross Knows where the net is. Rudy playing more like we know he can. Byram starting to regain himself after injury. Murphy and Mowatt are young its expected that occasionally their form will dip. There is a team there being forged by the manager.

It doesn't want ripping apart because some fans get excited when they hear a foreign name

Agree4 Disagree1

He may not be a McDermott signing but let's hope the team welcome him and aren't awkward, after all it wasn't his decision to be sent over. His style may be advantageous when playing against teams that are better at retaining possession so he could be useful, I think we lack a real ball player in the middle so let's hope he offers some composure on the ball. Mr MaGoo442

Agree2 Disagree1

Don't worry guys and gals

Nobody is asking you to "wet yourself"

Was only posting a rumour as there was no official transfers completed on dd

But, you chronic bed wetters be sure to have a supply of adult size nappies. just incase he is good. ;)

Agree1 Disagree0

signing players who are from Serie B to Calgari a few week ago you can tell McDermott did not sign him the Italian is going to use Leeds to test players from Calgari and as soon as they become good will be recalled we have good players in the academy we should develop them not sign rubbish Italians I hope that he fails the football league fit and proper test which he will 2 fraud cases in football his got no chance what's he going to do when he gets refused FA testing viciously snatch his player from Leeds o dear can tell McDermott did not sign him no doubt McDermott will be forced to play him even if he isn't good enough

Agree1 Disagree2

I for one think this man is a good business man, not many of us is making 170 mill euros a year. So do not underestimate this man and think he bought Leeds United to be a farmer club for Cagliari. He sees the potensial here to become once again a big english football club that can make itout in europeen top football as well.

Agree0 Disagree1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
thats not true, what about taylor and clough?

Agree0 Disagree1

Has cellino walked away, he has flown to Miami apparently?

Agree1 Disagree1

Hope so

Agree1 Disagree0

Well I don't know anything about him, but we should give him a chance. Remember the likes of Ankergren and Somma were nobodies when we signed them and they turned out to be alright. I'm hoping that there is a lot of flair and creativity in his game, ala Del Piero or Pirlo. Hopefully he's as good as some of those players Watford unearthed.

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Feb 2014 11:26:08
Article on OS says Cellino bought 75% and discussions on going regarding the structure of the management team. Ideally Cellini's cash and MCDs experience. JD

Believable31 Unbelievable9

Ben Jacobs thinks cellino will pass the fit and proper persons test, as the fa had no issue with him when he wanted west ham, does anyone know why he did not buy them?

Agree1 Disagree2

Ideally you right. But can't see it. Would love his money. But he wants a coach so he can make the signings. The squad will be full of foreigners just doesn't seem right with what we are developing at the academy. They will never get a look in. Tough one.

Agree2 Disagree1

02 Feb 2014 13:57:15
Why would any Leeds fan want this Cellino, he has not had the purchased approved yet so is not legally the owner. Already lying to us stating he didn't sack McD when there is written evidence in the shape of a letter to BMcD informing him he was sacked.
So already the lies begin, farcical, great turnout yesterday demonstrating how much support their is for McD and we don't want GHF or Cellino.

And great at last to see the tv via MOTD2 today highlighting our plight and how the FL should do the decent thing for our mighty club and protect it from someone with a very crooked financial CV.

I can only say to those fans who are seduced with promises of Money money and more money, go support Chelski or Manc Blues, they have not won their trophies and success .they've bought them. When they're splashing ridiculous money on players for success why not just say let's not bother playing any football matches how much do you want for the Prem title, oh let's make it the treble. Open cheque book.

I think we all know BMcD can't return now as his position is compromised, he would undermined all the way.

Agree1 Disagree4

02 Feb 2014 14:13:43
We have been developing the academy for years, and what for?

To sell the best products of it because we are skint, maybe if we have an owner with money this will not happen

Agree2 Disagree1

I hope he puts loads of money into us .you only live once enjoy it

Agree4 Disagree0

Unfortunately nowadays you have to buy success, because without huge financial backing a club can't compete, the majority that don't just drop back into the championship

Agree3 Disagree1

02 Feb 2014 15:40:46
Would agree with the rant if he wasn't following in GFH and Bates. I struggle to see how he can be any worse. Lies, broken promises we've been living on these already but without the dough!

Agree1 Disagree0

Makes me laugh, there's a certain russian with dodgy dealings in the past, that's never brought up! Of course it' s not Leeds, so it doesn't matter .

Agree2 Disagree1

Northumberland white, your point about money is daft, Liverpool spent the most foe 30 years so dominated, once the manc's started to spend the most they won it all so did chelski and now.man shieky.
So please get over it, that's just how football has always been.
So if we are to be known as the corleedsone's so be it.

Even Blackburn Rovers bought the title

Another sad comment from Snoopy MOT
Is he a REAL Leeds fan you have to wonder! the many NEGATIVE comments he's contributed on rumours/banter pages makes you wonder? VERY VERY VERY SAD

Andy MOT

Agree1 Disagree0

Right, our club has been ruined by Ridsdale with his gambling and Bates raping the Club. Even those 2 did not sack a manager before they were in post This italian is trouble. 30 odd managers in 20 years or whatever. can't the people who are slagging McD see that? Brian has been building a club on sound foundations - it deos not happen over-night. So chuffed for him, a decent straight bloke to see the fans and the team's support for him yesterday.

Agree1 Disagree0

Are you lot serious negative, Iam always backing our club, just because iam not one of the knee jerk hate everyone brigade doesn't make me negative.
I always have the best interests of the club at heart, I've said give the Italian a chance how is that negative, I've always slated Ridsdale when fir what he did like everyone else on here and when everyone is giving it to smithy I back him I said we would batter Huddersfield and we did ok I said 3-1 but hey.
ED if you can put them rightthat would be appreciated.
Snoopy MOT

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed013's Note - Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and unfortunately most are negative at the minute}

Also I've backed mcd from the start even saying I think he would be the man to take us up,
So.AndyMOT, get your facts straight and don't ever call me out as being against the club I've supported for 25 years.

Just heard the Farnan Consortium, has got a 4 Yr plan all ready to implement to get us into the premier league mot

Believable22 Unbelievable34

4 years not good enough - must try harder - try 2.

Agree3 Disagree1

GFH had a 3 year plan - means nowt!

Agree3 Disagree0

We can get up this season, 4 year plan pah, keep your money farnan sick of these broke show ponys, iam warming to cellino he had money to burn let's give him a shot.
Snoopy MOT

Agree3 Disagree1

Yeh sounds great
more loans and guys with no money

Agree1 Disagree1

I'll just watch Man City's goal machine obliterate the scum's empire with free flowing, attractive football for the next 4 years then before I discover which consortium is going to try and buy Leeds United from Farnan with the promise of a long term plan to get Leeds back into the premiership. Groundhog Day. Leeds apparently still deep in debt £11-£15 million this financial year despite amazing support, merchandise sales, securing sponsorships and selling best assets/recruiting freebies/loans for years. Discuss.

Agree2 Disagree1

Snoopy MOT go up this year and what will we do in the premiership? straight back down again.
You have to build a team, gain confidence and instill this into the players. You need strength in depth, this all takes TIME if you m want to cement a place in the premiership.

Andy MOT

Agree1 Disagree0

Your too late. The italian has won the day. It's a good job we play in white. The Italians are used to white

Agree1 Disagree1

02 Feb 2014 11:56:30
As far as I can see the Italians & GFH have made us a laughing stock . If the Italians have given the order to sack macdermot before they have even got the keys what does that say about the arrogance of them, if it's true what they say about GFH giving the order which they don't seem to be denying by the way what does that say about GFH . I'm not sure I want any of these people owning our club after this debacle, you couldn't make it up I for one can't see Brian coming back would you if you were in his shoes . The club have made his position impossible & are now trying to save themselves some compensation wether people think Brian is the right man for the job or not I think everyone must agree he has been treated shockingly .

Agree2 Disagree0

4 year plan. we want a 4 month plan

Agree1 Disagree1

Shame they don't have a club to implement it on haha:P

Agree1 Disagree0

4 year plan, means no money, will try to fleece you like the others, over the last 10 years, Mr Cellino has real money and wants to buy Leeds, ain't that enough.If Chelsea thought the same as some of the posters, where would they be?Mr Abramovich ain't exactly got good press.I am really starting to believe some of our supporters are only opposed to Mr Bellini is because he is Italian, shame on you, Mother Theresa or Lee Wee Herman ain't in the market for a football club, so get real.

Agree1 Disagree0

That would be 14 years out of the top flight no thanks . if cellino puts his hand in his pocket and passes the fit and proper persons test I don't see the problem with him . ssn and the media will slaughter us but that's because they don't like us anyway . the last takeover was almost ignored by the national media with ssn cutting away from the press conferrence after about 5mins when it was in full flow . now their all over us now they think things could get worse .

Agree0 Disagree0

We now have the money what's wrong with all you neg heads let's get on the contra recital train and enjoy the ride Chelsea got single ticket and never came back.

Agree0 Disagree0

Blackburn had a 4 year plan to win the CL under the chicken owners. The gulf between the "plan" and reality turned out to be massive!

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Feb 2014 23:38:31
Cellino has given an interview - says he didn't sack McDermott and has been trying to contact him.

Believable28 Unbelievable31

Where is this interview or is it the club statement your referring to? I'd love Bmac to come back but honestly I can't see it happening and who would blame him when it's already clear the owner is interfering with team affairs

Agree1 Disagree0

Link please

Agree2 Disagree0

Rubbish! He knew full well what his lawyer was doing. It's just he didn't expect us fans to get together and do anything about it! Blocking him in at elland road he must have rubbish himself. Amazing. MOT

Agree2 Disagree0

Yeah its true I also saw it

Agree0 Disagree1

02 Feb 2014 10:07:06
More than one link on NewsNow Leeds United

Agree1 Disagree1

Just find the lawyer who made the phone call and find out who he works for?

Im sure someone will be hiding undr a desk somewhere NOT wanting the truth out ;)

Andy MOT

Agree1 Disagree1

02 Feb 2014 12:06:12
Cellinio is calling the shots here!

BUT and in my opinion is a big but that's because GFH can't make a decision on anything, that's why they are in the dirty brown stuff up to there necks and why everything takes ages.

At least Cellinio looks like he will make a decision and that he is not so arrogant to overturn that in light of the fans response.

I hope the FA clear the way forward as at least this guy has real money and sounds like he is prepared to invest it - All this consortium Bollox says we have clubbed together because we ain't got the money on our own!

Agree1 Disagree1

He ants to find out Brian's address so e knows where to have the horse's head delivered! MOT Ron.

Agree0 Disagree0

Bang on! let's try an owner with real cash, not promises

Agree0 Disagree0

Think maybe it's a case of back peddling, having the fans turn on him before he's even got his feet under the desk probably made him realise it's not the best way to start a relationship with the fans and he's trying to get us on side. Doubt we'll ever know the full truth tbh. Least it's given Brian something to help with book sales if he releases one! I still think Brian can achieve something here but he needs time and I think yesterday's game showed cellino that most of the fans feel the same way

Agree2 Disagree1

02 Feb 2014 14:10:57
Back peddling, U Turn, Lies call it what you want, if this guy brings money and MCD turns this into success then everyone will be happy and won't give a s**t about the last few days his past history or anything else.

Ridsdale and Co = F****d up
Bates and Co = F****d up
GFH and Co = F****d up

Common thing about all of the above "THEY DID NOT HAVE THE MONEY" and because of this fed us lies and dreams they simply could not deliver on

I say give this guy ago!

Agree2 Disagree0

Simon Austin sports journalist has said on his twitter, reading between the lines, think cellino was taken a back by the level of the fans anger, maybe he has realized how passionate the fans are and thought yep that's me, iff he now wants brian as he says and has the money to back him as we know he has, could he be trusted more than gfh, and the other consortium, we've been out the prem a long time, will we get there sooner with money to spend?

Agree0 Disagree0

Brian won't come back and I don't blame him, there is always a point of no return.

The sooner we get the GFH out of Leeds United the better, we though Ken Bates was bad?

I think the Italian guy doesn't not have a clue what he has bought into here

My heart is with you Leeds supporters yesterday, I couldn't get there but I was with you.

We are Leeds, the owners don't have a f***cking clue

Agree0 Disagree0

Cellino should have just bought the club and left everything alone until he had his feet under the table. That way he would have had everyone fans and club alike onside. He would have either got success with BMD or if not nobody would have complained much if the axe fell.

Unfortunately he's charged in and upset many people from top to bottom in the club. If only he had taken the time to take stock of his surroundings he could still have achieved everything he wanted in time.

He has money and that's all that makes him attractive. i'd like Cellinos money, BMD as manager and Haighs blueprint for the club and the academy. Unfortunately I don't think it will happen.

fawksey

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Feb 2014 23:01:08
cellino will fail fit and proper tests this is why i'm against him 1. ignore the reports he tried sacking him 2. he has 2 fraud cases 3. he will use Leeds as a feeder club to Calgari this 2nd rate Italian he signed, signed for calgari from serie b a few weeks ago serie b is like league 2 he will be useless and if his any good he will be recalled instantly and probley will snatch his rubbish Italian if the FA don't grant him football league fit and proper test this guy will also be played if his useless we should develop our own players in our academy what have potential not other small clubs players

Agree0 Disagree0
