Nicola Salerno flew into England to Leeds. The now former Cagliari manager, met with Maurizio Zamparini who wanted to give him an important assignment, operating on the market, But in the end, Salerno, preferred to decline the offer.

he said "Leeds united? is a lifestyle choice, my first experience abroad, but with an Italian owner. we still have good relationship with Zamparini. I had taken time to decide, and then I did a 'no other choice. however my relations remain good. "

The full interview will be online starting at midnight on the list "Face to face". MOT

Hi there, how do I view the Salerno interview, could someone post a link

Agree1 Disagree0

All over the Italian press that he has confirmed it himself he is on his way to Leeds.

Good signing me thinks?

Agree4 Disagree0

OP. highly selective with snippets of the quote, there.
He actually says he turned down Palermo and continues to have a good relationship.
"Leeds? Is a lifestyle choice. My first job abroad"
Seems to confirm he's made his mind up.

Ed is there any clubs in for matthew leckie of australia. he's only 23 and looks quite decent from what I've seen.

Believable15 Unbelievable5

{Ed001's Note - he already has a move in place for July mate. Another German club signed him, Ingolstadt I think off the top of my head.}

Heard a whisper that we are looking at signing Gonzalo Jara. Currently at World Cup with Chile but released by forest. Cellino likes that he knows the English league, has prem experience with west brom and played in championship with Brighton and forest. Also that it may raise profile of club in South America, we tried to do it when we played colo colo in a pre season friendly years ago and it's an area where he has acquired players before for Cagliari and hopes that by bringing in one it may encourage others to follow. Allowing Peltier to leave as Jara can play at full back or centre back as cover. Personally wouldn't mind him. Pretty solid and could do a job as back up to Byram.

Don't suppose you will post the Ed but here we go.
I'm sat in the sunshine reading the whole 19 pages of the court case between GFH and David Haigh.
I wish every fan could read this as it's incredible .
It's in the public domain and it claims and explains how Haigh took over £3 mill out of Leeds Utd.
If it turns out to be fact then he's dead and buried.

Is there any way I can post it?

Believable29 Unbelievable5

{Ed001's Note - send in the link, without the http:// bit. I have been keeping an eye on it through offline media here, as I am in Dubai myself at the mo, and if it is true, I agree, Haigh is in serious trouble.}

I have a printed version or email.
Any suggestions

Agree3 Disagree1

{Ed001's Note - use the contact form and leave an email addy and I will email you. I will get the full transcript posted on a page set up for it. That seems the best solution.}

If it turns out to be true then Cellino has just paid almost another million pounds to Haig as well, possibly repaying him for lending us our own money?

Agree1 Disagree0

Ed if true I hope he goes down for many years and is made to pay back the money! I am also very suspicious of what GFH have been up to?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - GFH employed him mate, if true they were being shafted by him, hence his sacking and arrest.}

I never trusted Haigh and it seems if the Internet radio call to MC was genuine the MC was on the money about him too, mind he's innocent until proven guilty.
Is there any update on how I can read the transcript yet?

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - still waiting mate, though I will see what I can find out here tomorrow. In fact, I will go down and speak to the guy on the desk in this tower (concierge?) and see if he can find out who I need to get in touch with here to get full transcripts rather than just newspaper bits and pieces that I have been looking at so far. The Khaleej Times and Gulf News might well have some mention of it online, though I can't be sure, as both are based hereabouts.}

Where are you staying in Dubai Ed 1?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - should I be worried about stalkers??? I am in JLT for now.}

Nothing to do with footy but did they ever reopen Cyclone the best club the world has ever known.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - not a clue, sorry.}

Would really love to see this document, surely if it is in the public domain the link can be posted here?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - the court transcripts are available, it is just not as easy as that to find them.}

Peltier has time on his side. Older boys won't be so keen to leave mutually. They will want paid.

Agree1 Disagree0

Don't understand why the contract was cancelled. Apparently there's a few clubs want him, would've been in our best interests to try to get a fee for him from one of them so the fact that his contract was cancelled rather than him being sold says to me that he wanted it cancelled

Agree1 Disagree0

Just heard on radioleeds that Huddersfield are in the process of sorting out terms for him.

Would have been better to get a fee for you him.
