    Even if only half of that story in the Mail is true, it's looking pretty bleak.

    Remember Man City and the Brum owners were under embezzlement charges?

    Certainly not clear that Cellino will be given the green light.

    And if not? Is this a Batesesque game by Flowers to get the club cheap? Short term pain?

    Marko you're so far from reality you're a fooking idiotic fool.

    Do you not get it any of it:

    1) No Italian no sale
    2) No sale administration
    3) No deal to get out of administration because the debts are massive again.
    4) Liquidation
    5) Shell bought and new club formed starts life in the Skrill


    Use you're fooking head

    A valid question, and it could have been asked of everyone post Ridsdale. The best I can come up,with is vanity, or a Belief that they have a plan the last bloke(s) didn't think of.

    For me it's vanity.

    Gone are the days where owners and chairmen supported the club they own with a passion. Now it is one of two things, business men looking to make a profit and they want to see a return on their investment to fund a lavish lifestyle.

    Rich men's toys, they want the adoration of the fans and they want their 'toy' to win as much as possible bank rolling it as much as they can out of their own pocket, they don't care if it makes a loss as long as they can afford it.

    Define fixing it? Would the Flowers consortium think well we can sell Byram and Ross that is £10m in the bank, we can plod along in this division for another 3-4 years developing Mowatt and then we can sell him along the way....... and so it continues.

    Flowers and Haigh are businessmen they want the club because they believe they can make some money, don't believe for one second they are any different to GFH and the more 'Investors' that are involved the more they all want a slice of the pie.

    I worry that the FL are about to take, at last, a stance against supposed new owners who are using FL clubs as a means to dubious business practices.

    First on the list could be... Leeds United.

    Trouble ahead I fear. <wah>

    They did enjoy our 2007-08 episode with 10 point and 15 point deductions.

    True, and you may be right about them taking a stand. We may end up with Flowers in the end...in League 2. But we'll fight our way back, again.

    I for one am loving some of the stuff coming from Cellino, and have waited years for something like that said by our owner. Yes he may turn out to be a liar but for a few hours it made me happier than any of the shyte coming from Haigh, GFH and Bates for 10-years. Thanks Massimo <ok>

    Fcuk the mail ... all week they've been advertising on talksport to go and read about "the laughing stock Leeds United" ... this paper hates us and only ever reports on us when we face adversity ... don't care about yesterday anymore, now its just push on and hopefully Cellino pumps money in ... Mail would love for us to stay out of the Prem forever, the bitter Scum supporters

    Cellino MUST buy back ER right away, will make a massive statement ... if he doesn't the Scum loving press will do all they can to undermine him, already trying their best
