Sadly I have to report that talks between all interested parties have now broken down.
The FL have asked for the announcement from Mr Justice Kerr be delayed in order to avoid possible crowd trouble before the game.
This is breaking my heart but certain people think they will get control of Leeds Utd on the cheap even if we are in div 1.
Clearly they don't care about the fans.

Hello Jeff,
So does this imply we're swaying toward an uphold of the FL ruling?

Agree1 Disagree0

I will believe this when Phil, Popey, and Simon tweet this news, sorry.

Agree4 Disagree0

What proof do you have of this? wait and see, at least it looks like the appeal is being considered.keep the Faith man.

Your information is wrong my friend!

Agree2 Disagree1

U speak a load of rubbish jeff/survivor either way leeds will get taken over by massimo either on his own or with farnan and the others stop trying to Pee people off

Agree5 Disagree1

Why would the FL carewhether there's crowd trouble before the game?
If they were that bothered they would have passed MC to prevent trouble!

Agree2 Disagree1

Survivor covering ALL bases again (what a surprise NOT)
Look at his posts only yestarday all angles covered yet again lol

Agree1 Disagree0

How can I prove what I've been trusted with?
It's all talk I agree but sadly I know very bad things today and it brings me NO pleasure to report the facts .
Sadly ladies and gentlemen we are done for.
If I had a billion in the bank which I don't I would give it all for our football team .
I am aware of what is going to happen next week but it's not good for our club our city and our fans.
Jeff

You do realise any credibility you had will be lost forever when/if this is proved to be false, so your either very clued up, or scaremongering.

Agree2 Disagree0

Of course I do.
I don't give a monkies about my cred I just care about Leeds United and I'm proud of that.

Agree0 Disagree1

What do you mean? Administration or liquidation?

I am really worried.

Why would you make something like that up, if not true. What is your source as we have a lot of desperate Leeds fans?

if you have made this up then I don't believe you are a fan.

Agree1 Disagree0

I think we are a point where we just want a decision. If Cellino fails his appeal and we go into administration then so be it. The administrators will then find another buyer and we can be rid of GFH and rebuild even if that's from Div 1 again. As long as the buyer is not uncle Ken of course.

Agree1 Disagree0

Let's all remember this is a rumours site, some will have heard rumours but until officially reported we should keep the faith. If there was the slightest sniff of admin or worse I'm sure ssn, local journos and those that hate leeds would have been all over it

Agree1 Disagree1

If you were as bothered as you claim you'd keep this quiet until after the game as you claim the fl and club are, you also wouldn't release what you claim to be insider confidential info

So why is this not being reported in ANY media outlet. If it is leaked to you surely it would also be leaked to a credible source as well. Would someone who is important enough to ACTUALLY be in the know really be commenting on this site?

Agree1 Disagree0

For a start the appeal isn't to Mr Justice Kerr. There is no Mr Justice Kerr .

Agree1 Disagree1

Ed13 is survivor even in leeds? he is sounding to me like a fan from another club winding us up

We need Massimo Cellino to get control of this club ASAP so he can clear out all the parasites bleeding this club dry under the pretence they are life long fans ect ect lending money at rates Scrooge would be proud of! charging for every mortal thing! like vampires sucking blood from a dying carcass! We need to cleanse this club from the top to the bottom so we can start again with some talent from the youth! so they will play with pride and passion for the shirt and LUFC MOT

I thought the Farnan group had matched MC bid back in Jan? so why not go it alone? If they had the backing then where's it suddenly gone?

Agree0 Disagree1

Firstly, we have to remember that anyone can come on here and say anything they like. It isn't beyond the realms of possibility that someone builds up our trust and then at a time designed to cause the most angst says everything has gone wrong. They could actually be a clever wind up merchant. Time will tell.
Secondly, to the poster who says why don't Leeds Together (LT) go alone, there are reports that GFH won't deal with LT because LT dared to put in an offer well below GFH valuation. Hard to take for Leeds Utd fan but LT valuation probably more realistic! GFH now appear to have fallen out with Cellino because he is trying to a deal with LT and GFH just don't want to be involved with LT in any way. Perhaps LT are too honest and won't be involved in any cover up of bad management of the Club in the past!

Agree1 Disagree0

I thought the Farnan group offered something ridiculous (well at the time) like 7 mil, probably get us for half that by the time all this is over

Agree1 Disagree1

This is SURVIVOR we are talking about, his select info (covering all bases of course) is usually 99% wrong.
Let's hope this is NOT a 1% rumour :)

Andy MOT

Agree2 Disagree1

Appears you are right SURVIVOR unfortunately!

Agree0 Disagree1

It appears that it is true that the decision will be given after the game - that can only be bad news I'm gutted to say. That means no plan A or plan B as long as Cellino is involved. How long has this decision been known? How can the FL/QC justify the constant delays - which is clearly affecting the team. When is Cellino going to be paid back when this is announced. When are the players going to be paid? Although we are not very happy with most of them at the moment they need to be paid as this will again affect performance. As much as I hate GFH I think they should sue the FL for these constant delays. Then if we are put in Administration - due to our points total at the moment (affected by all this crap) we will be relegated. The FL need to be held accountable for a lot of this. A glimmer of hope that there may be someone else in the background to takeover but that seems to be a very faint glimmer and a long way away. Time is one thing we do not have.

Agree1 Disagree1

This is a rumour site so I don't know why people are getting personal to the guy that put the original point out to view. Personally I think what Survivor says could well be right, look at the facts over the last 12 months of what we thought was happening, what we as Leeds fans have been told by the various club owners and what has actually happened. There has to be a reason why there has not be a rush of people wanting to buy Leeds when other seemingly less attractive clubs have been bought and have flourished. I am surprised how long it is taking to resolve the Cellino purchase and the delay can be seen as good or bad depending on if you are a half full or half empty person. What has not helped is our inability to win any games recently, if Leeds had been in the playoff positions buyers would be willing to be involved but we are not and instead of the Premiership we are looking at the possibility of League 1. The players and the manager have to take a large portion of the blame for the results, you would think that they would be playing for their careers now but instead they are feeling sorry for themselves. Whatever happens will happen and as this is Leeds I would think it is more likely to be negative than positive.

Agree1 Disagree0

After the mistakes made by the FL at Blackburn, Portsmouth and I'm sure there are others it seems that they are keen not to be caught out again. As MC has been investing and paying the bills for a while now I can't see there being a case against the FL for delay. We all knew what GHF were there for, to find a rich backer and sell us for a profit, they may have found the right man in MC but his past and the baggage he brings with him means he is not a FPP. I think the FL would have had trouble passing him even before this latest court case. The rules around ownership and FPP are constantly evolving as we have never had as much foreign investment in English football in the past and the sums of money involved are huge. Most of the rules are being examined and applied but I doubt any of them have been put to case law yet, hence the perceived delays. Not right good for us though is it

Agree0 Disagree1

When will massimo be paid back?
If we go into admin he WONT be paid back in full ;(

Agree1 Disagree0

Think the ONLY reason poster gets slated is he gets 1 rumour right and 19 wrong. If you keep posting you lose credibility and people forget the ones you get right.

Remember the little boy who cried wolf ;)

Agree1 Disagree0

Funny how Massimo is for and proper at Cagliari

The original post is not a rumour, but a guess. No one knows what the QC will say, but it is obviously complicated and needs careful examination. I dare say he has other work to be getting on with. Let's just hope we can get rid of the GFH clowns, without them being replaced by more clowns (e.g. the rumoured Malaysian bidders).

Michael Brown won't play for Leeds again - After the Bournemouth game Browny had a real word with the players whilst McDermott stood there. Afterwards McDermott called him into his office and said that Browny had an opportunity to go to Fleetwood Town, he refused. - #insidethedressingroom

Believable22 Unbelievable41

Best news I've had all week

Agree1 Disagree3

One of the only players that shows a bit of determination when he plays, wish a few of the so called better players showed the same commitment

Agree5 Disagree0

Best news you've heard all week? What planet are you on? Brown is one of the few players to put the effort in every time he plays. Even McCormack has 'sullen' games from time to time. Not talking about quality although Brown has been a quality player in his time and can, on his day, put most of the others to shame.Players that usually put in a full 90 minute shift (or as long as they are on the pitch);- Pearce, Smith, Brown, McCormack (most of the time) and Byram -can't think of anyone else. Can't tell if Mowatt puts in a full shift - he always looks shattered or injured.

Agree2 Disagree1

Truth is that a year ago we were all saying that Brown was awful and that Warnock had signed an old donkey. remember? now we are saying he's one of our best, good grief we really have made progress under BMD haven't we?

Agree1 Disagree1

Well I can confirm that Michael Brown is with the Leeds squad in a hotel just off the M60 preparing for the match tomorrow.

Agree1 Disagree1

04 Apr 2014 22:40:56
I haven't seen Micheal brown come of the pitch without his shirt drenched through with sweat because he plays for his shirt every time and puts in a shift every time! he might not be the best of quality. But he has the best quality that is desperately needed on the pitch for LUFC at present! a player that doesn't hide, tackles like a warrior, YES I KNOW HE GET THE ODD RED CARD! but he is there to be counted every game, shoots when he can and scored some crackers in his time BUT HE PLAYS WITH TRUE GUTS AND DOES NOT HIDE LIKE THE sad excuses that get put ahead of him THAT LOSE EVERY GAME WITHOUT EVEN TRYING FOR 90 MINS put brown out with mC cormack smith/ pearce/ and the youth squad and we will at least not go down till this mess is sorted MOT

Agree2 Disagree0

If we had 11 Michael Browns it wouldn't be pretty, wed probably finish with 8 players on the pitch and we would still be moaning like we always do.
One things for sure you would get 100% effort, commitment and we would win more games than we would lose.
How can anyone slag a guy whose 34ish and gives everything when he takes to the pitch?

Look at todays team

Agree0 Disagree0

Browny in starting line up. Stop posting made up rubbish

Agree0 Disagree0

From the reports I've heard brown had a good game today.

Yes Michael brown is old and yes he often gives away silly free kick and picks up silly cards but you can never question his passion, desire and determination; something we have been missing in abundance recently.

He is a good squad player and I personally would not be disappointed to see him offered a contract extension with a coaching role.

Agree0 Disagree0

04 Apr 2014 14:10:43
The QC in charge of the appeal has made his decision and he has agreed with the FL that MC cannot takeover Leeds. The reason for the delay in the announcement is that they have asked him to consider whether plan B, the Farnan group takeover of the club with investment from Cellino would break the rules also. Even though he wouldn't be named on the board or as owner, as he will be the one putting in the majority of the money to buy the club and facilities they want to check whether he would be seen as a shadow director and so blocking this takeover also as that breaks the rules.

Believable8 Unbelievable37

The FL ought to have a working knowledge on the application of their own rules without having to ask the QC for his opinion!

Agree2 Disagree0

Its getting rather messy at Elland Road, the club needs to move on.i am sure another buyer for the club will be found very soon, any other potential buyer will not be dealing with Master Bates.that was the main problem in the past

Agree1 Disagree1

If this t/o doesn't go ahead then it will mean more months of pain for everyone and sorry but no guar that another buyer will be found, a bird in the hand saying springs to mind

Agree2 Disagree0

It would not sit well with FFP rules, as it clearly states that "owners" need to "Put money in" for share equity should the 8 or 5 or 3 million permissible loss be exceeded.

Clearly MC will not be the owner, or part owner, so he would be unable to fulfil that part of FFP ruling.

So that's my take on it.

Agree1 Disagree1

First poster, I think it is us that have asked for it to be looked at not the FL. As you say they know there own rules and we are asking for clarification of them from a QC now rather than the new consortium putting there bid in and then having to go through the appeals process again if it was rejected. Might as well ask now and risk a few days delay rather than find out the hard way if it went wrong

Agree1 Disagree0

Club needs to move on? there's is nowhere to move to! that's why we have no money and the only assest (the ground) is shrowded in mystery, although Uncle Ken will be involved because he invested £7M of season ticket sales into it, to improve the East Stand. Get this Italian in and fast, I don't care how its constructed.

Agree1 Disagree1

Surely if MC is not a fit and proper person then he can't be a FPP in the background putting they money in, after Risdale, Bates and GHF wouldn't it be nice to have an owner or consortium that isn't involved in some dodgy financial case. Someone who has LUFC at heart or does honesty and integrity not sit well with multi millions of pounds?

Agree1 Disagree1

Agree with last post, I think there are lots of ethical millionaires and billionaires out there, Gates and Branson spring to mind. Just seems football attracts the less ethical ones

Agree1 Disagree0

Standard practice with the F L, if its anything to do with LEEDS UNITED it breaks the rules.

Agree0 Disagree0

. If this turns out to be true then Administration will be on the cards. All we now is the news that Leeds United are linked with some Preston Northend players

As usual leeds united get messed about by the fl can't stand them screwing us over time and time again tell us there going to inform us about the takeover then go back on it again! Useless they are must be related to mcdermott

The QC has to rule for or against MC becoming owner of LUFC, nothing more and nothing less. ANY deal between MC and consortia has NO BEARING on the matter.
