The club are pleased to announce that GFH Capital executives Hisham Alrayes and Salem Patel, who will become directors of Leeds United upon completion of the takeover, have received approval from the Football League to join the club's board having satisfied the requirements of the Owners and Directors test.

David Haigh who joined the board last month was also approved by the Football League before taking up his role as a Director.

Great news. So they have passed the FA test. Is it still the 21/12/12 for the 100% buy out?

Agree0 Disagree0

Complete buyout of lufc holdings to be completed on 21/12/12 100%

Agree1 Disagree0

Isn't the world supposed to end on the 21st? Maybe a new beginng for Leeds instead!

Agree0 Disagree0

End of the old bates world

I don't want to rain on our parade but I'm still very synical about GFH. I'm only going by what I've read in the press ( the more respectable press not the Sun), but I'm still not convinced that have the sort of money we need.
My theory is that they will have a 10 million pound punt on getting promotion in May. If it doesn't happen I expect them to cut and run. It might explain why Papa Smurf is hanging around - I suspect he would then look to buy back the wreckage for £1, and away we go again. I hope I'm wrong but 40 years of hurt (mainly due to the European and FA conspiracy against our great club) has made me very synical.

Would be happy with that, but doubt beckford... think NW would prefer CMS...
i would like to see a top LB come in too...
best bit with all that is add Rudy back to the squad we really looking good!

Agree0 Disagree0

Not 1 of them values is correct so obviously rubbish

Agree0 Disagree0

Neil Warnock did admit that he tried to sign Beckford before he went to Huddersfield. So wouldn't be surpried if Beckford returned

Agree0 Disagree0

Beckford turned leeds down to join hudds so dont hold ya breath

Agree0 Disagree0

Think warnock should start looking to next season with buys in jan don't think will go this year

would rather spend money on someone like charlie austin than beckford, austin is alot younger and more importantly, he is scoring goals.

Alternatively McGoldrick on loan at coventry might be worth a shout or even clayton donaldson from brentford.

Hopefully the rumour of Mcgugan from Nottingham Forest happens rather than Boyd and bring back Gradel NW. He wants to play for us! MOT

Agree0 Disagree0

He didnt turn us down, we couldnt afford him

Agree0 Disagree0

All sounds plausible to me! Plus mcgugan. And the fees look about right too.

Agree0 Disagree0

We are going to sign makail smith

Agree0 Disagree0

09 Dec 2012 16:13:03
we should try sign makil smith

Agree0 Disagree0

Don't think you'll be far wrong. Of course would love Austin, MacKail-Smith, but are we likely to be able to either get them or afford them in Jan? Chapel A

Agree0 Disagree0

Could do but i dont think lester would sell beckford for only 1 mil

Agree0 Disagree0

As well as hearing alot about McGugan joining us, this is even rumoured on NFFC rumours site (i'm just being nosey seeing what been said over there sides), i see that Mr Beckford is back in the thick of it again.
IMO Beckford is in the past, time to move on, much better talent than him out there.
NW has stated he has his eyes on 3 strikers, 1 of them he intends to land come January.
he also intends to tie down ALL his loanees.
this COULD be our season ladies & gents !!!

If he signs a striker it will only b 1 striker as we have alot as it is

Agree0 Disagree0

Norwich fan here I'm glad this weeks rumours are more realistic . You won't get in the prem with over paid prem flops . You are better of getting the cream of the champ and younger players. Can't see Warnock being the right man

Agree0 Disagree0

We something upfront. Becchio was on his tod against Derby. need a complete forward with pace and power.

Agree0 Disagree0

Rather have a decent striker come in and let gray go, pointless signing sitting on bench.would prefer poleon on bench at least he has speed power and youth.

Reckon the striker will be either dj campbell (unless ipswich get in first), McGoldrick or hopefully Charlie Austin. Frazier Campbell might even be worth looking into, ok he has had injury problems but he would shine in the championship.

Be nice to see Mcgugan, Trotter, Henry (Millwall- unless T.Henry wants to come on loan lol) and Gradel added to the squad.

15 tickets left for chelsea come on leeds

Believable6 Unbelievable7

Got mine as soon as they went it pays to have a season ticket

Agree0 Disagree0

Why do people disagree cos of you go on the website then you can see there is 15 tickets left!!!

Agree0 Disagree2

Actually only 5 left now

Agree0 Disagree0

If only south lower was open :( could be like old times!!

Agree0 Disagree0

I've got mine. I live 2 hours away fromER and still attend every week. It's a discrace that our championship attendances are 19,000 and theres a sell out when Chelsea come to town, sort it out! Mot

Agree0 Disagree0

5th reply: do you want a gold medal? Maybe people cant afford to go as it is nearly christmas and have presents to buy, maybe people have other commitments, etc....

Agree0 Disagree0

Or maybe they're just armchair part timers who don't love Leeds as much as they like to think they do. Plenty of people save, such as me, I still go to every home game, even if it takes my last penny.

Leeds are to sign Michael Tonge in January on a permanent deal more than likely for a small nominal fee after impressing at ER

MOT!

young sam byram attracting prem clubs wouldnt suprise me if he went soon

Believable14 Unbelievable25

Why would he go?. We are now a team with ambition. We no longer have Bates in charge who would have sold Byram at first glance. GFH will not want to sell anyone because they know are no longer a selling club and finally we can compete with out having to sell to buy.

Agree0 Disagree0

He's just signed a 4 year deal because he wants to play for LEEDS, we have no need to sell anyone , and no mention of this rumour anywhere, so i guess just made up by a non leeds person

Agree1 Disagree0

If the right offer comes in, anyone is for sale.
What if Arsenal made a similar offer to the one that landed them Walcott?
£5 mill rising to £12 mill with appearances/achievements etc...
If anyone comes in offering silly money for any of our players, we'd be cashing in and Warnock would be in wholehearted agreement.
I doubt very much that we're as awash with cash as a lot seem to think and I for one would be rather unhappy if we quickly started posting Bolton-level losses.
If the right offer comes in, I say sell. Honestly, Leeds fans have such short memories. Not long ago we sold our brightest prospect in a decade with Fabian Delph going to Villa for a rumoured £6million and most agreed it was good business.
Silly cash will always get accepted. The player, however, is never oblighed to say yes. If Byram wants to stay at Leeds, accept big offers and let him prove it...

Agree0 Disagree0

Everton confident of getting him in January

If you read my post it says IT WOULDN'T SUPRISE ME IF HE WENT
