    Morning Everyone,

    Could today be the day, that the takeover goes ahead?

    Probably not.

    Some things that have emerged that you may not be aware of though....

    At some point during the process, Sport Capital have lost an integral part of their consortium

    We do not know who that was or why, but it is clear that unfortunately, it has affected the takeover.

    Enter Cellino.... The Sardinian entrepreneur has more to this then meets the eye. It is known that that Cellino has had meetings with Haigh, and he is actively involved the the bid. We don't know how much, but I'm sure all will come to light in due course.



    So, we have turned down just over 4m for McCormack, fair play to GFH or whoever it was who told West Ham where to go. Lets hope they don't come back.



    Over the last 10 years or so, Leeds fans have been treated so badly, that we now expect the very worse both on and off the pitch. We have seen our best players sold against their will, seen point deductions, relegation, administration, souring ticket prices, are subjected to mediocre displays week on week, and have been kept almost totally in the dark when something of significance happens, yet we continue to sell out our ticket allocation for away games!!!

    If we were a pet dog, being treated badly by their owner, it would have turned round and bit them by now!!!

    Thoughts?

    Morning Elland, good points mate, i think you may have read many times on some of my postings, that i feel for the faithfull, especially the away support, things have to start to be transparent with the supporters, the board need to show them some respect.................MOT

    Morning all <ok>

    Hell of a day today 160 mile round trip for a 45 minute meeting :mad:

    Hoping to get back and listen to a winning performance, but it'd be nice to hear something about this takeover too. Wishful thinking though

    So much for transparency springs to mind. I still wouldn't be surprised if GFH do not want to be involved or have anything part invested in a business model that has the Italian guy as part of it.

    Elland <ok> Animals getting better treatment and respect than we fans ever get from our club, and if we were animals some old lady would be taking us in with her her abused donkeys. There would be a charity appeal going out begging for people to save a Leeds fan, just give £3 per month .......

    Wonder which part of the quartet jumped ship, and what reason he gave? Wonder why Don Corleone was invited in first even knowing that he would probably have a look so that he got sight of the data and then probably doing something himself later. Why wasn't Adam Pearson invited along with his people? because we would have got the best of both worlds there?

    Ross not going and you can almost guarantee that now, unless someone other than Hammers come in with around £5m and that aint happening

    Morning all ... hopefully GFH agree a deal and we move on ... Pearson's consortium massively underbid to buy the club, offering just £7m which is either plain stupid or that's their limit, so really don't want them involved ... we will win tonight and keep our hopes up
