Gfh and cellino meeting to sort out who and how this months wages can be paid, gfh saying they thought cellino had agreed to pay the wages for a six month period, cellino not willing to pay anymore into the club till he gets the result of his appeal. A spokesman for gfh refused to comment when asked if gfh could pay march's wage bill, gfh need to come clean about OUR club now

Believable56 Unbelievable7

Why should Cellini pay their wages not his problem, in all honesty they don't deserve to be paid with their performance this season

Agree8 Disagree0

This is why the players are not performing would any one of us be interested in doing our best for our employer iff we knew we might not be getting paid and the future looked bleak, GFH are nothing but a load of conmen!

"This is why the players are not performing would any one of us be interested in doing our best for our employer iff we knew we might not be getting paid and the future looked bleak, GFH are nothing but a load of conmen!"

Most of these players are just money grabbing mercenaries then!

If I were being paid 40 grand PLUS a month I'm sure I wouldn't be desperate for cash.

Agree6 Disagree0

In a nutshell - a sad disgrace if true! players on 15 to 30 grand a week - millionaires who won't do their job for the shirt and fans - for fear of a late pay cheq? dump the lot except RM & SB - who'll both be sold anyway without Masimo

Agree2 Disagree1

Put them on Performance related Earnings!

That should spark a reaction, we may then see just how good they could be?

Footballers aren't like the ordinary bloke in the street whod be worrying how he and his family would eat next week if he doesn't get paid! Furthermore they are supported by the only decent remaining union in this country!

Agree2 Disagree0

Id pay to play for Leeds. Or for any professional team for that matter.

Agree1 Disagree0

He's deserted us, and left this mess in the hands of a load of persons!

Agree1 Disagree0

Somehow I don't think any leeds player will be on 40k a week,
and putting a shift in in the office is a lot different from putting a shift in on the football pitch!

Agree1 Disagree0

Anyone seen ken bates interview from the news now website, its about GFH /Andrew flowers consortium deal what was supposed to be happening very interesting he is spilling the beans on things!

Agree1 Disagree0

David haigh disgusts me I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt until I found out he was trying to get bates into his consortium what a slimey tory bar steward

Agree1 Disagree0

Why can't someone at the FL or FA hold GFH to account they are not fit and proper to run a football club and they lied about having money!

Agree1 Disagree0

gulf finance house and chairman
where have you all gone .Where has all the money gone are you not a bank lol
this season we had 16 players out on loan or released and one retired .10 players in and 3 gone back to there club .the more fans come in to leeds this does not add up

Agree2 Disagree0

This is a bigger mess than I thought, a big worry for all lufc fans at least you have to respect cellino a man who at least has the money to run the club, I also believe that parkin, verity, and newdall will not do business with leeds united while haigh is there, he is not to be trusted

Agree1 Disagree0

If you look back on the forums I said at the beggining of the year PAPPA SMURF still has his hands in our club, Ed and a few more said I was mad!
One question I ask why would PAPPA SMURF loan GFH £1.5 million this time last year to pay the wages?
Its not for the love of LUFC and if you work it out GFH bought LUFC in 2012 and needed a loan 6 months later.
HOW THE HELL did GFH pass the fit and proper test is beyond me and shouldn't the FOOTBALL LEAGUE be under scrutiny for passing them only 16 months ago?

Agree2 Disagree0

All players literally not fit to wear the famous white shirt of Leeds United period!
I would trash the lot of them. and don't let me hear mcd blame what's going on backstage because that' b*******!!

Agree2 Disagree1

Where is david haigh the so called chairman, who will work with any consortium who has the money so he can go on an ego trip, meanwhile this is breaking the hearts of all leeds united fans and are forfathers who have introduced us to this great club we love, he has questions to ask, whos side is he on, will we go into admin again, will this sleeping giant ever be back to where it belongs .pride and passion no excuses anymore these fantastic fans have suffered enough.

Agree1 Disagree0

Does anyone know what verity, steve parkin, and andrew newdall do for a living maybe you know edd, these names keep coming up every day

Agree1 Disagree0

i think the players do worry about getting paid somehow .so what if they are taking home bigger wages than the average person they are probably living with higher out goings . they might be paying for several houses rather than just the 1 . They will be living a good life. just because leeds pay out 10 k to a player doesn't mean the player gets 10k .The agents take a big cut then there's tax to come off that aswell .Things like car insurance is much more expensive as well .

Agree1 Disagree1

If we go into admin could leeds fans hold the FL accountable for GFH passing the FPPT . if they are all powerfull over FL clubs they should also be responsible . which after all is why their PROTECTING us from cellino

Agree2 Disagree0

Do not be fooled by bates . he squeezed the last drops of blood out of us and knew he could find someone foolish enough to take us on . under him and Harvey we had total of 25pts deducted an go relegated to div 1. we have been in a mess for 11 yrs and bates did not sort us out but made a profit for himself .

Agree1 Disagree0

There are a "Set" of pre determined questions that ALL prospective club owners have to answer, and a set of pre determined "information" shedules that need to be provided. The owners of LUFC ( who ever they may be ) will have provided satisfactory answers and satisfied the information requirements.

Agree1 Disagree1

The FL are responsible for there own actions and the why now should made accountable for letting GFH take us over. They clearly had no money and asking for loans 6 months in, something was wrong and the FL missed this vital information that they were skint.

Agree1 Disagree0

Part and Parcel of the FL "Documentary Evidence" is that POTENTIAL owners have to show funding is in place. GFH must have provided this . Its not FL fault that GFH have exhausted that funding .

Agree1 Disagree0

Above poster.
How on earth can you exhaust ALL your money 6 months after buying LUFC?
Pappa Smurf has stated on news now he loaned GFH £1.5mill 6 months after they bought us?

Think before you post plz

Agree0 Disagree0

Verity is business in yorkshire chief, steve parkin is clipper logistics, andrew newdall is premier taxis leeds, don't know why they would want to get involved with this lot though.

Agree0 Disagree0

I have heard rumours of 20 point reduction if we do go into administration how can the clueless football league sanction this when they have turned down a potential investor so they are the people who are putting us into the position. It just shows how much they hate us.

Believable32 Unbelievable23

Don't be so daft The FL DID NOT veto him as an INVESTOR, but as club Owner/Director.
He can Invest if he wishes. Nothing to stop that.

Agree2 Disagree1

After hearing the news of Cellino being found guilty. Most likely now the F.A. will find him not a fit and proper person etc. Therefore my prediction is that Leeds United will enter another period of administration with all the consequences of points being deducted and most likely another 10 years or so in the wilderness. We the fans have suffered enough. My solution is completely wind-up the club. All Leeds United supporters then support any team playing Manchester United home and away (exception being Chelsea) with the understanding the we still wear Leeds United colours and remain loyal to our club. After all the supporters are the club. (emailed to Y.E.P. 17/3/14)

True about not rejecting him as an investor but how can the Football League reject him as an owner when it appears that for 2-3 years they had no idea who actually owned the club during the Bates era?

Is he any more of a criminal than cuddly Ken, Vincent Tan or Roman Abramovic?

Agree3 Disagree0

If the club goes into administration the administrators will have no interest in football or the FL. They will be trying to secure as much return for the creditors of Leeds Utd as possible. If the FL in their handling or ultimate interference in deciding to bar Celino from buying Leeds has compromised the Club's ability to repay creditors, I assume that the administrator will go after them. It is not just the decision; its the process; length of time; how they acted in the interest of Leeds United and its creditors etc. Ultimately the FL by interfering are making themselves in some way liable in the eyes of the law - so I would expect them to have to explain themselves.

Agree0 Disagree1

Never mind FL not knowing, did anyone ( fan, director, Bates himself ) actually know.
See there are clubs up and down the country, who seem to be "Owned" by "Consortiums", not everyone in these are named "Directors".
Prime example is Donny, 3 major shareholders ( owners effectively ) only 1 is a director.

Agree1 Disagree0

If the brown smelly stuff hits the fan then I agree with the chap who suggested winding up the club.
If we can't pay the wages then close the gates on a Saturday and see how much hassle that causes the Football League. It would turn the entire season for all clubs on its head and cause the FL a real headache. If nothing else it would be funny.
They would have to react to that one!

Agree1 Disagree0

When I said investor I should have said owner.

What a load of Turkey. If that was the case then cast your mind back to last Admin period. Wasn't done then won't now.

Agree0 Disagree0

The reason the prem exists is because the big cubs where being held back by the FL so hey broke away . they should never be celebrating 125 years because it broke up when the big guns decided they were not up to the job

Agree0 Disagree0

Winding up the club will cause the FA a headache. No it won't, one less club gets relegated from the championship to keep the numbers the same and either they put all our results for the season the same so everyone gets a double win for us and 6 points or they just remove our results completely. Wouldn't take too long and wouldn't effect the positions in the league too much.

Agree0 Disagree0

FL needs to change big time, Chairmen of other clubs making decisions about other clubs in the same league as them is totaly unfair and a total conflict of interest. Should be made up of a totally independant body.

Agree1 Disagree0

Algarve Jim where do you live?
I am moving there next few weeks - to Lagos? Regard PAA

LUFC had every chance to "Nominate" a board member. As does every club in FL. The people on the Board are "Football People", I doubt there is any agenda against LUFC.

Agree1 Disagree0

I have a place in Ferrais probably about 20 mins from Lagos don't live there full time but will be in next twelve months

Agree0 Disagree0

Ok Jim. Will keep in touch to have a super bock in the Algarve hopefully watching our beloved LUFC with millions in the bank going forward for a change! All the best. PAA

Agree0 Disagree0

Yes that would be good will leave message on here
