Stop talking out of your arse.
Why would they be at Elland Road?
They only go there on match days you plank, the office and deals are done at Thorpe Arch, get back to your Smirnoff Ice
Agree0

{Ed013's Note - They are at Elland Road}
What the **** is going on? Looks like GFH have sold us to the mafia and they are clearing out the opposition. Surely the FL have to step in? New owners already proven they or not fit or proper. This situation is bringing the game into a very dark place. Existing sponsors also walked away from the club. Total disgrace.

Who's to say this guy isn't going to take us back to the big time? typical toys being thrown out of pram because you didn't like what the club done! look how Southampton have done since they sacked 'nice guy' adkins! to be the best you have to be ruthless leeds til I die

I have to say I am confused why are fans protesting yes Bmc as ben sacked but I say give the new owner and manager a chance.
Always Leeds MOT

Would not really call him mafia some people make me laugh

What has festa done, wouldn't be so hard to take if we were getting a proven manager
Agree0
Disagree0
As much as I liked McDermott, and was gutted that he was sacked, look at what happened to Southampton, Adkins was doing a perfectly good job, and then got sacked, fans hated it at first, but look at what Pochettino has done, not saying that will happen, just trying to look at it positively.
Agree0
Disagree0
My bad, I just noticed there's another comment, saying pretty much the same thing, mentioning Southampton.
Agree0
Disagree0
Simple fact is 15 wins in 38 games under mccdermott is terrible 4 a team like leeds so he had to go and now we give a new manager a chance, its not like he's got to live upto anything as mccdermott was terrible
Agree0
Disagree1
Pretty poor half season for mcd no one can despute that but come on! This italian does not have leeds in his heart! Just keento have a laugh with some mates then move on same as he did with CAL!
Agree1
Disagree0
The first thing The new owner should do (providing the Italian has bought the club) is get a new PR team! Whoever told him that acting this way would get the fans on his side no matter how much money he intends to put in needs shooting. Festa has next to no experience as a coach or manager and to be fair if he is on the coaching staff today he will be like a lamb to slaughter. MOT
Agree1
Disagree0
Why do people always say "give the new owner and new manager a chance" how has that worked out this year with new owner and manager? This will not turn out as Southampton. Their owner ( not Italian) was already in place for a couple of years and had plenty of funds before bringing in an italian manager.
It was meant to be a 2 yr plan with McD and it was never intended for us to go up this year as rebuilding the team (when funds were forth coming) . yes we will lose games but that is going to happen when experimenting and allowing youth players etc to play. We Leeds fans should be patient when the plan has already been stated at the beginning and not get too over excited because we have strung a few wins together.
I for one are not sorry that GFH are going / taking back seat as they never had the financial backing to support our club in first place so always was going to make it difficult for a new manager. BUT please don't let this particular Italian take control . have Calgari flourished under him? where are they in league?

Ed - let's get real, I hope McCormack leaves tonight, he deserves a decent club. All sponsors are pulling out; season ticket holders should tear up their tickets. let's show these Italians and GFH that Leeds Supporters have guts and principals. When the FA rejects Cellino and hopefully some other credible bidder arrives then we can get behind them. Until then **** them all, especially Haig.
Agree2
Disagree1
Gutted! What a night. Talk about an implosion over the last few days to our club. GFH and HAIGH are also quiet tonight. Complete bu######t for the last 12 months. Bates must be laughing his socks off. What does the next 12 months bring? I dread to think
Agree2
Disagree0
Haigh has acted in an appalling manner. A man of complete dishonour. Fans must must show their feelings tomorrow: "Haigh Out." I warned those who would listen before they even took over that GFH were not right for Leeds. Sadly, people's hatred for Bates blinded them to GFH's obvious shortcomings. Chapel A

Stop blaming Haigh, it's the investors in SC that didn't have the money.
Agree0

{Ed013's Note - Haigh didn't tell the rest of the consortium that the Club were paying Ken Bates 4 million over 4 years, that was the reason for the reduced offer}
Haigh is like all the other posh boys talk rubbish and fleece the working class. Bankers or?
Agree2
Disagree0
Pulled out. Why? They have a contract
Agree1
Disagree1
People should relax a bit. The Haigh consortium fell apart when it emerged that some of the consortium didn' have enough money. What would the point of these people taking over for 'status' reasons and then being unable to bring our great club forward? Cellino quite possibly may not pass the football league's 'fit and proper' person 'test'. This will leave (I.M.O) the best 'consortium' available to us, the Farnan group with a clear run to bring us forward.

Someone on here tonight moaning that BMD best manager in last 3 years!
Hello? We will have been out of PmL for 10 years at the end of this season.
How many managers since?
The best football we all saw was just before this. and that was with the manager the club should have stuck with. not sack because we we had a below expected finish in the top flight!
At the moment 'the only way is down' not the other version we once all sang so proudly.
Get a manager who has passion for the club! A manager who has unfinished business. A 5 year plan to complete. Start at the back and get some PMA back on that pitch! because I am ashamed of the last 10 years.
O'Leary, O'Leary, O'Leary, O'Leary!

Ask yourself who would Revie have backed

Our great club is not only a laughing stock but a disgrace
A decent man committed to building the long term future of Leeds supported by the players is sacked by the mafia
It will will be another 10 years in the wilderness if Celino isn't forced out Do we want to be another Watford - no thanks
These people understand only one thing - money and they want ours - that's what they think they have bought - the fan base because they don't give a monkeys for the team
Voting with our feet is the only thing they will understand. 50 years a fan - time to walk away for a while until another decent bloke gets a chance

Something to be happy about NOT
Cagliari players Andrea Tabanelli and Danilo Avelar will be sent out on loan to Leeds United, it has been announced.
While Cagliari owner Massimo Cellino continues to try and complete a deal to take over Leeds United, two young players have made the move from Sardinia to Elland Road.
Andrea Tabanelli and Danilo Avelar will play for Leeds for the rest of the current campaign and their long-term future will be discussed in the summer.
Tuttomercatoweb announced the conclusion of the deal between Cagliari and Leeds this evening.
At the age of 24, midfielder Avelar has already played for seven clubs having left his native Brazil for Ukrainian side Karpaty Lviv in 2010.
Avelar made 20 appearances while on loan to Cagliari in the 2012-13 campaign but has made just seven this term and isn't a first-team regular.
SEE ALSO: Cagliari to loan Italian playmaker to Leeds United - report
Tabanelli will turn 24 on Sunday but Cagliari still feel the attacking midfielder has to learn before he can command a regular place in the Serie A side's starting 11.
It remains to be seen whether the two men's arrival is a sign that Cellino is soon to be unveiled as the new owner of Leeds.
Do Leeds' Italian signings indicate Cellino takeover?

Absolute discrace. Been a fan for 46 years but season ticket just dispatched to bin. Will not at foot in Elland rd until we get an owner that loves the club as much as I do.

Why would be a selling club? Think about the assets we have, worth about £8m and half of that is Rossco.
If he is paying £25m for the club then he is going to be a tad out of pocket as it will be worth nowt if we end up in the third division
Anyone who is buying the club must be looking to try and build a team to get promoted, so if then they sell they get a profit

Warnock lived with TO for 6 months, no money but shame on him still for the Becchio morision farce and his buys/frees were pitiful by and large
BM has had similar to warnock but with his millstone added, but at least we turn offers down now, however we only got a couple of decent players left now.

Total and utter rubbish why would GFH put Lufc into admin when they have so much invested in the club, seems like a proper way to run a business NOT

If Luke Varney completes his switch to Blackburn today, Leeds will bring back Becchio on loan.

{Ed013's Note - He is the player Brian wants, he wanted Diouf to leave to free up wages, but Varney could be the one}

Hearing that QPR's Harry Redknapp after Ross McCormack after there top goal scorer Charlie Austin ruled out for most of the season. QPR believe they can get Ross McCormack for around £4m-£4.5m with further add ons if QPR are promoted to Premier League. Hope it's not true though as we'd struggle to sign a suitable player at this stage as well as a new Captain which'd be our 3rd of season after Rudy Austin & Ross McCormack.

Total bo***cks. The only way Le Fondre will be partnering McCormack is if Reading buy him. We will be signing no-one on a permanent deal before 11pm

The Times is reporting they have seen a document detailing £4m of "obligations" due to be paid by LUFC to a "former owner" over next 4 yrs. Was this the problem that made Sport Capital drop their bid?

People just can't get over bates its getting boring now
If there was money owed to him it would have all been sorted at takeover time why would they spend al that money and the club only to have to spend more on payments
If we know anything about bates 4mil would get you a decent shareholding I the club. he would have just hung onto the shares.

But David Haigh is/was part of the GFH team so surely any documents in place as part of the takeover won't be a surprise to him/Sports Capital

Harry has said they are looking to loan a striker and not spend. I believe this because they have already spent a bit this season and if they don't go up the fair play rules will cause them big troubles
