Hope this is the start of new era in lufc. Cellino has made numerous mistakes this past year. Nothing against him but we need some hope. Something to get all fans united behind out great club. We need a owner with money, vision and a feeling of knowing what it's like to be Leeds. I've had enough of court cases, appeals, import duty on yacht's, share purchase agreements, due diligence etc. Want to concentrate on the football. It's heartbreaking watching all this unfold. We'll be back one day. Keep the faith. MOT
Kenny is waiting in the wings to rape us again.

Funnily enough I disagree. He hasn't the lifespan or money to sort this mess out.

Who said he was going to sort this mess out ? If he got his grubby hands on us again he'd put us straight into Admim and blame everyone else.

I don't believe the Farnan group would have done any different.

Wasn't it well documented that together leeds had showed proof of funds to the football league prior to gfh accepting cellinos bid? Think Farman has recently gone on recored that one member of the consortium had more than enough cash to be able to buy leeds on his own. Really don't believe they would of gone down the administration route.

This. It was just scaremongering by GFH and Haigh that TL were "potless". GFH wanted Cellino because he was desperate to get his hands on an English club and he would agree to anything and (was due to their Project Athena) likely to fail the FL test.

It has been shown on social media that TL have more than enough money to take over Leeds Utd and take us forward.

Cellino and GFH out!

Much needed win last night. The next four league games are: Huddersfield Town (A), Brentford (H), Reading (A) and Millwall (H).

Hopefully Cook and Mowatt will sign long-term deals before the end of the season

I have nothing against TL, I will happily support anyone willing to take us forward.

It's also good to see new posters in the thread.

On paper all winnable games, but as you know with Leeds it never works out that way.

We have good young players in the first team who are gaining vital experience this season.

If we can avoid relegation we could be a force next year.

Need to get cook, mowett and bryam signed up to longer contracts. Add a couple of quality players to the squad next season and who knows. Just nice to see us actually win a game at last.

I'm as hopeful as you on that but I have my doubts about Cellino's pledge to have us back in the Premier League within two years. (From when he first took over)

Yep. His contract runs out next year.

Good to see Charlie Taylor getting a chance. Personally, I didn't mind Stephen Warnock leaving.

If as reported Stephen Warnock was on £45k pw and Hunt on £25k then that is staggering. Whoever gave the go-a-head for those terms need shooting.

Find those figures hard to believe. Warnock I'm guessing nearer the 20k mark. Hunt 10-15k perhaps. Still staggering amounts of money for a club in our financial position. Warnock I would of kept to the end of the season. Some experience in a young squad could be the difference between relegation and survival.

Don't see how he can continue to own the club while not allowed to have any day to day involvement. With other court cases in Italy on the horizon he must be giving some consideration into selling the club. If and when that happens let's just he sells to a owner who can take the club forward.

A good time for any potential buyer with enough funds to sort out the debt and take the club forward to throw their names into the hat.

A quick question for you guys.

A mate who is a season ticket holder told me that red bull are sill in with a chance of buying you out.

He said he wouldn't want anything to do with them as they have red in the name.
This reminds me of when McDonald's opened up at Ellen road and they were rumoured to have to paint the store grey as leeds fans wouldn't use it if it had any red in he store.

My question is are you happy for red bull to get involved?

Don't know what all this fuss is about playing in red, because we have played in red before , in early 70s , but as for Question in play in All red if it meant the end of crooks owning club and think 90% fans would say the same

I would be in favour of practically any owner as long as they ran the club in a transparent way and showed a little bit of ambition. I'm guessing red bull would be more interested in naming right for Elland Road. That in itself wouldn't bother me because it would always be Elland Road to me no matter what the rebranding said.

I'd be happy with red bull as long as we still played in white. I don't think it'll happen though.

I think there is more to come with cellino though.

I don't think Cellino is Leeds biggest problem.


Playing in White is a must for me.

Hopefully we can carry on our good form tomorrow. It looks like the two new signings, Sol Bamba and Granddi Ngoyi, will be in the squad.

Aye. Be nice to chat about what happens on the pitch for once. Enough of the off field bollocks. Sol Bamba to replace the suspended Bellusci. Morrison to score the winner in a two one win. Relegation worries fading away ! MOT.
