GFH Capital have spoke to tv Leeds and have confirmed the club will not go into administration under their ownership.
Despite reports that they are financially unstable.
1.) Yes, because that is exactly how publicly-listed, global finance houses announce their business to the world.
2.) Well that's a relief- all my dreams at once.
White teeth
3.) So we go from being a stable club to administration without signing anyone? jesus
4.) They actually did, heard it from a rep, its not just posted here its posted elsewhere too.
5.) Well let's be honest they ain't going to come out and say "we could go into administration" are they?
6.) Well gfh are only an investment company - they are & will do the same to us as bates has done over the last 8 years. they are an investment company, minimumoutlay for maximum return. they're just a larger version of mr bates. they will not be able to take small or large risks due to their shareholders wanting their return on their shares, so its like having 100's of mr bates wanting a share of the cake! like bates but 100 times worse.
7.) I feel cheated by GFH they just feed us supporters BS
8.) GFH are an intermediary. We aren't using their money, we're using the money of whoever owns them. They may be financially unstable but that will not impact upon Leeds.
Besides, why would a company with no money, go and buy a football club - something that is almost guaranteed to lose money, and would be an awful investment?
9.) Because a football club in the Championship will triple in value with promotion to the Premier League.
I repeat (as I have done many times before) the TV deal which starts next season means every Prem team will have an income from TV rights ALONE of over 112 million.
Championship clubs are a good investment right now. spend a little money to get into the Prem and flip for a very healthy profit. English clubs will seriously invade the top 20 richest clubs list and Deloitte will report the massive increase in media rights as the catalyst for this. Investment bankers take (sometimes calculated) risks with OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY. So GFH is almost certainly backed by someone or something much larger than itself.

A few betting sites have slashed the odds of Nigel Adkins becoming the next manager. gone from 11/4 to 4/11 within a matter of a couple of hours!
Does this mean something is going on? I can't say but it looks promising!
1.) Means either someone in know, a big bet or both!
2.) Bookies know best.
MOT
3.) Not pleased with Adkins - if he arrives! Never been in charge of a club of this size and with these expectations! Will probably need time, if he can handle it at all? Time for GFH to show their intent - plenty of foreign high profile managers available! Or go for Gus - not proven in big clubs either, but been here, knows us, and will probably grab the chance!
I agree with this, as David Haigh tweeted earlier today about just arriving back in England, either for the game this weekend or Conference tomorrow (or both).
But I reckon it will be announced tomorrow which will mean that NR will still be in charge Saturday due to late appointment. If it was done today BM would be in for Saturday. So would not expect change for this weekend.
First game will be Burnley Tuesday.
