I don't think Cellino will have any problems passing Fit and Proper Test his past convictions are 'spent' in the UK so I cannot see any other stumbling block.

I am fed up with GFH, GHF-C, David Haigh, Salem Patel, Salah Nooruddin all the Consortiums that have lied and pissed us around.

I'm of the same view now, I can't see Cellino failing the FL test (because the test itself is a joke) and what's happened over the past few weeks hasn't really shown GFH in a good light, they seem clueless on how to actually run a football club.

Cellino sounds like a complete nutter but at least he's a football man, he's run Cagliari for over 20 years. Whatever reservations people might (justifiably) have about a convicted fraudster owning the club, it looks inevitable that it will happen now - and I get the feeling that with him in charge things could be a complete disaster or it could end up being brilliant for us.

His daughter, ain't bad looking either

The poor girl has been bombarded by Leeds fans on Twitter.

Like Coen said Cellino will either be a disaster or our knight in shining armour, he is using his own money to buy the club unlike all the other hopefuls who struggled to find the money to buy the club never mind invest in the squad.


I can not believe GFH had to borrow a million pound of that **** Bates three months after buying the club. The loan has thankfully been paid back in full.

Wonder who is funding this then ,? , and whete does this leave Kenny ?

Mr Cellino has funded that deal along with Jan & Feb wage bill. GFH did not have the money to pay the players wages, the sooner Cellino kicks that lot out off the club the better, hopefully at the end of the season.

Does this mean 'The King of Corn' has had the nod from someone 'Harvey' that he is going to pass the FL Owners Test, I hope so.


Jack Butland is an excellent signing, I have thought for a while Paddy Kenny needed more competition or replacing, Paddy is still a good shot stopper but very poor at dealing with crosses and has never been commanding enough in the box. His sharpness had gone before he came to Leeds.

We need a strong gutsy keeper with Butlands qualities someone to to command and take responsibility, I am sure we have all noticed that nearly every ball whipped into the box seems to end up in the net one way or another.

Omg, didn't know Boro not scored for 6 matches
1215 live on Sky, you just know what's going to happen don't you

Another Saturday another 1215ko, that's our 3rd game 1215 ko
On Sky , feel sorry for those who have to get up at unsocial hours to make kos of these 1215 games
As for game itself really fancy us to get something today
All pressure on big spending QPR, looking forward to watching
McCormack/Wickham up front too

I always despair when a Leeds game is on TV as we hardly ever seem to win them.

Another point in case today.

Wonder why he bringing this back up now

Hasn't Strachan overlooked Ross in other Scotland selections. ?

Rob, Coen, DavelovesLeeds or any other Leeds fans.

Who do you follow on Twitter with connections to the club apart from players ? I follow Phil Hay from YEP, Adam Hope BBC Leeds, L.U.S.T, Waccoe, The Scratching Shed and quite a few bloggers or people who seem to be in the know.

I'm asking because I'v noticed recently how quiet the majority of these people have been regarding Cellino owning the club even though the majority of fans are in favour of him taking over. Its not difficult to work out these people are supporting the Farnam group even though he made a derisory offer for the club and shown no transparency off their funds or other group members.

Sorry mate, I'm not on Twitter so don't follow anyone.

Maybe its time I got on it.

Just heard on BBC Radio 4 that Cellino has been found guilty of Tax evasion in the Italian courts on his yacht called 'Nellie' The knock on effect for us Leeds fans means the FL will now fail him as a 'Fit And Proper Person' to own the club, "what a bloody carve- up" !

We will now owe Cellino 10m in loans with no means to pay him or the players wages from April onwards, leaving administration as our only way out.

No doubt fans from other clubs will say we deserve everything coming our way for 'living the dream' if the last 8 yrs is living the dream I would hate to see what a 'nightmare' brings us.

MARCHING ON TOGETHER.

I don't think that will matter when the fl decide, and let's be honest
Both man city / £helsea have owners or had with far worse allegations among others, human rights records / people going missing & much more serious allegations than tax fraud
Wouldn't worry to much about that atm

Cellino has been disqualified from buying Leeds. He failed the owner's test according to the FA

But the saga goes on as he has 14 days in which to appeal.

The happiest person right now will be humpty, as his job is safe, atm
Oh and Wickham gone back to sunderland, only good news come out of today is Peltier gone to forest, tho not sure who signed him there

Gutted about Cellino. He's been stitched up.

Peltier to Forest has fallen through. (see below)

Warnock turns down Forest job.

Leeds V Doncaster - Sat 29th March - Leeds fans are walking out after 5mins!

WE NEED OUR CLUB BACK! SPREAD THE WORD GFH OUT CELLINO IN

Who's idea is that, it's not gonna work either
?

just thought i would dig this pearl of wisdom up for you Jack

It really is crappy what has or is happening at leeds, i lived in leeds for ten years and will always remember going to Elland Road to watch leeds v United and other leeds games and would class them as probably being my "second" club (thats a rarity fpr a man u fan) .

To see leeds go through all this rubbish again angers me, celino is by far the best thing that could happen to leeds , what he has been charged with in Italy is irrelevant and it should not be held against leeds, the whole fit and proper persons malaky makes me laugh, how could yhey let bates run the club? What about abromovich at chelsea? He is far from innocent and is still allowed to run his club, same with lots of English clubs. If leeds do go into administration because of this I can see it being a long long time before they hit anywhere near the dizzy heights of premier league football.

Decision on ownership deferred ,god knows when
It will be now
