Statement on the official site confirming as much

Agree0 Disagree0

Os just put out a statement regarding that, an pretty well all things in general. They are doing a good job. Rome wasnt built in a day. let's back them, and the team {Ed016's Note - The statement on OS is very positive in my opinion)

Agree1 Disagree0

Now on the OS, but the offer has not been accepted.

Reply to post five, I've been a ticket holder for 40 years, ill get behind the manager and the team, but why should I get behind gfh what exactly have they done, they have no money, they said they would tell the fans step by step what they were doing nothing has come back, get your head out of your backside and go back to valley parade

Agree0 Disagree1

Ill tell you what they have done a lot more than papa smurf did in his time at the club half season tickets, reduced prices for the games against blackpool and peterborough, new contracts for players including byram and diouf, set up twitter accounts for the fans, and are doing a fans forum on the 18th so don't make out they haven't done anything?

Ed just heard on five live that an un named
Yorkshire consortium have bid for a
controlling interest in the club? Any
thoughts?

Separately I think NW is doing a cracking
job under the circumstances. Who would be
a football manager? {Ed016's Note - I wouldn't read too much into it just yet, It could be related to the recent Adam Pearson interview - stating he would like to get back into football, preferably a club like Leeds.)

The news is true and there will be new owners with 51% controlling stake at Leeds United within the next month or so. The concern for Leeds fans should be how much GFH Capital will sell their shares for and how much profit they will make for 2 months work.

"The concern for Leeds fans should be how much GFH Capital will sell their shares for and how much profit they will make for 2 months work. "

You must be about the only person on the planet who wasn't around through the protracted takeover mate.

. this whole affair was going on for many months before it finally 'happenned'. ?

Why buy a football club for £52 million then sell it too a bunch of yorkshire businessmen
we have been through too much over the past 10 years

Agree1 Disagree0

Been on tv Sports page not 5 mins ago, it mentions Adam Pearson wants to be part of consortium but this was from 7/2/13 news that day. It did not mention anything about him purchasing LUFC, maybe I'm looking on wrong section?

Seen a few posts on here recently, and indeed on other forums that Bates is still pulling the strings and is behind GFH.

Would love to see the evidence to back this ridiculous theory up.

Also, have heard the same rumour from a couple of people saying that Adam Pearson has agreed to buy a 40% stake in LUFC, amounting to a £20m+ investment. and is to named Chairman come the summer. AND that Nigel Adkins will be our new manager.

Has anyone else heard this one?

Believable30 Unbelievable26

Would love to see Nigel Adkins take charge, but don't see it happening if i'm honest.
I like Neil Warnock, and I think he's done a good job so far with what little resources he has been given.
However, a change in personnel is in order I think if we are to progress as a club

Agree1 Disagree0

Not heard that but would not be upset if that happened - having 2 good football people at the club making key decisions.

Agree1 Disagree0

Stories going around that there is a Yorkshire consortium looking to buy up 51% of club. This looks like the first step in GFH's bid to gain new investors. Don't know wether this is Pearson, don't know wether Pearson has the kind of money the club needs. Plus he was involved in all the money when it went wrong last time (and that's putting it mildly)
Is he right for Leeds? I'm not convinced.

Its just been on the tv 1 News a consortium has/is going to try for a takeover of Leeds with a 51% buyout iminent then the rest later.

I wouldn't be shocked if it was Bates that is heading this consortium to buy Leeds out of the 52 million he got off gfh. {Ed016's Note - If I was Bate's age I doubt I would want to put myself thruough another hate bates campaign)

I hate to say it as I supported warnock as coming in as manager. But they guy who has said Warnock is doing a good job is simply wrong. grayson was doing a better job when he got sacked on every stat going. We had more points. less goals conceded and quite frankly had more of a chance at going up than we have now. promotion isn't going to happen this season and if Warnock is in charge next season I doubt it will then either
