The Mirror have publicly stated

"Leeds' would-be new owner Massimo Cellino paid the club’s £1million wage bill last week to save them from financial chaos."

I would love them or anyone else to provide proof of this considering the proven lies that have come out of this guys mouth already regarding the sacking of McDermott?

1.) 04 Feb 2014
OP here. Forgot to add, I really can't believe Leeds wage bill is actually a million pounds a week as implied anyway, or perhaps that's just the Mirror not being literate enough to say they paid the last months wage bill in the last week?

I have done a little research, Ed does Mr Cellini have to get approval from FL before he can own the club, or is it after the purchase of the club that he needs FL approval .?

{Ed013's Note - He needs it to own the club mate}

I once looked online about leeds rumours from the sun and 1 out of 300 rumours came true

Ok cheers for that, as was looking at the cases of Coventry City and Notts County and it appeared they got or were refused it after purchasing respective clubs.Must have mis interpreted it .Thanks

The Daily Mirror, says it all people, unbelievable.

I'm in favour of celino. He's already put his money where is mouth is. Celino is my man

7.) 05 Feb 2014
Wouldnt be a fan of someone with a dodgie past such as Cellino but and its a BIG BUT I have NO faith in GFH. All they have done is promise money lies, we have the football club at heart lies and more lies continue from these UNTRUSTWORTHY people.

Can Cellino be any worse?

8.) 05 Feb 2014
I too am slowly beginning to favour Cellino.

9.) 05 Feb 2014
Don't think flowers trusts gfh either, probs why they have a winding up order on them.

We had bates thrust upon us and you say you don't want cellino, give it a rest!bates was 10 times worse than cellino, a truly horrible man.give cellino a chance.

Cellino may well have lied (as reports suggest) over the BMD sacking but he soon back tracked and pledged his support for Brian after realising the passion of the fans reaction, this shows he listens something Bates never did nor Flowers going by the way he's acting. the bottom line is you have the money or you don't, one man who has great wealth or six/seven all chipping in a couple of quid here and there and what paid structure will this consortium want out of profits? one man answerable for actions or a group blaming each other as we are now.
Its the king of the Corn for me

Cellino with BMD would get thumbs up from me but does not seem to be a match made in heaven and surely BMD's position would soon become untenable?
Change of ownership to attract new investment desperately needed, change of Manager is last thing we want.

I also am slowly coming round to the idea of Cellino but my main concern is that he keeps BMD as manager. Hopefully the italians money and BMD steady approach will see us headin the right direction. Have to say I am still not totally convinced but as others have said slowly coming round to the idea.

To the 11th poster on this thread, Cellino has consistantly lied about the managerial postion re the sacking of Mcdermott. He also stated that he couldn't comment on Mcdermotts future with the club if he becomes owner. Mcdermott has been bought back by GFH to keep the fans on side. Cellino comes in, I'm sorry guys but Mcdermotts gone.

People who are pro cellino need to take a good long look at history with Cagliari before wishing him on us thinking it's going to be a quick fix back to the prem.

16.) 05 Feb 2014
To the 15th Poster who Posted about the 11th Poster, I am a different Poster. I don't necessarily think that people are pro The King Of Corn, but simply that this guys wants to buy the club and has got a few quid.
Anything is better than what we have now, a banking group with no cash, who constantly promise and never deliver.
Cellino might be a bit of a crazy character, but I think that's what we need.
We have been fighting against having no money since Ridsdale the Bandit put us in the mire. Love or Hate Bates, he did save our club, but then failed to invest any further to get us back where we all want as it was simply a money making venture for him.
I for one hopes Cellino gets the club, and let's just wait and see what happens, will be a fun ride along the way, and at least he has an interest in football. Andy Flowers Goes Pop and his friends wouldn't be able to take us to the next level.
Nice MOT

Wouldnt it be easy just to put your name to your rumour instead of 10th poster to 15th poster etc?

Andy flowers is punching above his weight trying to become leeds uniteds owner. sucessfull premier league teams are controlled by the elites who buy clubs as toys in the same way we go to toysruz for our children. Andy flowers is better of trying to negotiate a deal with Harry ramsden selling fish and chips. Cellino ticks my boxes.

19.) 05 Feb 2014
I am the 11th poster and all I am trying to put across is my opinion, many people with loads of dosh are ruthless that's how they get there, but they are successful. Bates love him or hate him he did a job for Leeds and took us as far as he could then tried to get as much back as he could before he was jogged on. Ultimately success will come but it has to start from results on the pitch, let's not get to carried away with the Huddersfield game 3 points from a possible 21, I like BMD but it will be a steady plod along mid table 4-6 points off the play-offs season "building" for next season selling Ross & Sam to fund it.
This will be the same with Flowers & co local businessmen ticking over in the community not wanting to upset people by taking any gambles, do people think Cellino would pay 25 mil of his personal fortune to deliberately destroy the club? no he invests for success and won't hang around with 5 year plans, people are writing about who are Cagliari? what have they achieved? they have spent the last 10 years in Serie A

20.) 05 Feb 2014
Its looking like the Italian stallion is the leader in a one horse race. If he comes in i'd like him to give BMD a chance but more than anything i'd like him to keep to that plan of building proper foundations at the club.

Im not saying he would but what if he dismantled the academy? Would that be worth it.

Anyway a deep breath and let's brace ourselves. I liked Ken Bates i'm sure I can learn to like this guy.

Ciao, Fawksey

What lies has Cellino told? It is widely known that Noruddin and Al-Rayes were were talking about removing Brian after the Sheffield debacle. The pay-off would have been an obstacle. Flowers has blown his lot out of the water now anyway. Chapel A

Sacking mcd could be a cultural thing, Italians are more red blooded and erratic than we are . in Italy if you havnt won for 8 games put in rubbish performances got knocked of a cup by a lower team then respond to that by putting in a heartless performance and loose six nil to a team 3rd from bottom of the league you get sacked . he probably thought it would get us on his side not realising that we would think hang on he is a nice guy and will do well with time which is to our great credit . only my opinion though .

23.) 05 Feb 2014
Good opinion, sounds logical!

24.) 08 Feb 2014
The performance has been dire for last few weeks, but would you play your herat out not knowing what was going to happen to the club, and bmd had his hands tied with players not wanting to play, no players coming in either. at least last weeks performance shows that stability brings freedom to play. that's what alll this is about, e I e I e I o.
