Not sure, he's part of a Sardinian family business that makes â¬200m profit a year. In the past he's tried buying Palace, QPR, and West Ham. Lives in Miami. Sounds like he'd be more trouble than he's worth.
http://roblufc.org/2014/01/22/drip-...e-goes-on-for-leeds-utd-fans-by-rob-atkinson/ This guy does a decent regular blog and yesterday was kicking off about this deal almost being done ..... Glen Hoddle mentioned as potential new manager the other day. I guess he's just as fooked off of it all as many of us are
Think that is robofleeds if anyone remembers him. Was little controversial to say the least on Bbc 606 and ja I think.
Hey, thats far too sensible for on here. You're supposed to hate someone who's: Brought in a decent manager Made neccessary changes and improvements to the training ground Got rid of Bates Got rid of Yorkshire Radio (and Ben Fry) and brought back Radio Leeds Kept McCormack!! Reduced ST prices Introduced a cheaper new young adult category Allowed concessions to sit in more than one area of the ground Introduced quite a few ticket schemes, including giving ST holders the ability to get an extra free ticket for the Wigan home game. Not called the fans (customers) morons Introduced a mini bar on the North concourse Has been paying off the debts Bates has laden us with and most important, trying to take over the club with a consortium of Leeds fans, who want to back the manager with the players he wants, already having helped him bring in 2 of the 4 players he wanted. But hey, he must be a tw@t because the takeover hasn't gone through yet
Este bang on yes I remember Rob and had some decent craic with him, although I seem to remember he was in the pro Bates camp once
On the other hand RCDM, now I'm playing devil's advocate here. No takeover goes through. So no money for new players. Also too late to sign anyone. Results get worse. Crowds fall. Not enough money is generated to pay for the general running of the club. Our best players(few and far between, I know) have to be sold in the summer. etc etc etc...
Aye lads ... so now we at least know the problem isn't Haigh and Sports Capital, it's GFH trying to bleed more cash out of them
RCDM presents facts, Shako presents crystal ball stuff. Thanks chaps! Shako, please keep your pants up.
As an interested party, he most likely would have recused himself/been excluded from GFH conversations and decision making.
