    Let's go back to hoofball shall we? And demand that Bates buys the club back, spending whatever of the club's money that he hasn't pocketed for himself on vanity projects that we have no need for, to the detriment of the team. Let's go back to loanees from PL clubs who are only here to improve their fitness for the benefit of themselves and their clubs. Let's buy another bucketload of ageing journeymen who are only here for one last payday on long term contracts but are too ****e to offload to anyone else so we're stuck with them. Better still let's hope for 100% ownership by GFH.

    The good old days of Bates/Harvey/GFH and hoofball....don't we just miss them?

    For me the current ownership structure combined with a coach and a younger squad who've yet to fulfil their potential, and the more easy on the eye passing game which will become more potent the more the players gel is a million times better than at any time over the last twelve years. The wins will start to come and with them the confidence will return.

    Far better to have a bullshitting Cellino who's economical with the truth than any of the aforementioned serial Leeds United rapists

    The four young loan players, Zan Benedicic, Adryan, Dario Del Fabro and Montenegro the reason he signed the others is because we are only permitted to have four. While on the subject Cellino has brought in 15 players and released (one way or another) 18 and we all know the players we have are on a reduced wage to those that have left. On the transfer side of things it is estimated that Cellino is in pocket by £4m

    Now is any of this a bad thing? If we were mid table no of course not but we are sitting a miserable 2 points above relegation so are Doukara and Antenucci at a combined fee of £2m a good investment compared to Smith and Ross who we received a total of £12m for?

    Cellino had his purpose, save us from going bust, now I look forward to the day he moves out of our team. I love how last season people were calling for 'stability' and here we have an owner who is as unstable as they come, sacked our entire youth set-up (and even Carbone who was brought in to assist) and instead of stability the emphasis has changed to "whatever excuse we need to make" for the man and let's ignore the facts. Forza nothing personal but 'economical with the truth' can you pick out anything he has said that actually is the truth???.

    He is only as foreign as a chesharian, paddy or mick. If localism is important then I win.

    He has been posting accurate assessments of ownership issues for ten years, and was more anti bates than You and me.

    we ain't trying to make money out of the club through blogs posts etc,who's to say this guy didn't sell story to daily mail.Cellino wants to buy the ground for sound financial reasons that are still very relevant,it saves money.Do you think he prefers to spend more on rent ?.

    I think he is looking to sell before his investment tanks if I am honest.

    His investment will tank for one of three reasons.
    Relegation
    The fl decide he isn't fit and proper
    He hasn't got the cash to finish the project.

    I see no other reasons to have talks with red bull or have Bates back near the club.

    He would be a fool to not have a plan B.Lets wait and see the rumor spreading panic does nothing to help the club.

    Cellino cant afford to buy the stadium and if he does get a bank loan from somewhere to buy it then dont expect him to buy any decent players he will be skint <laugh>

    No one is going to lend him the cash in this country following his handling of LUFC since August.

    Because they are the only loan players we have. You surely sign loan players who will make a difference to the team or why waste a wage? I am predicting that Montenegro and Adryan will be the stand out finds of the campaign, neither will be signed and Cellino will make up some B/S story and don't be surprised if we cash in on one of our own youth players either <ok>

    Ristac, I'd love to go to these mind-reading classes you go to. They clearly dish out some really kinky drugs.

    Just because you don't agree with him do you need to resort to that, or is that another of those bulls**t fact you are quoting. If you want to trade insults then do it my way and I will rip you a new one.

    Ristac is right in what he said. Cellino is speculating nothing more and at the moment he is doing a pretty crap job at it.

    A man claiming to be half as bright as you do would apologise to Ristac for ridiculing him for giving an opinion that is at least as valid as yours.

    Being a bit picky here, but it's actually 5 we're allowed. I know that Doukara was converted to a transfer on the last day of the TW to make way for someone whose name escapes me, but the 5th loan fell through for some reason.

    Just because you agree with Ristac doesn't mean it's right. He has not expressed an opinion, and neither have you. Both of you have presented in a factual manner, giving the impression that you're ITK. You aren't. You're both guessing. Opinion is based on data. Guessing isn't.

    And since when were you on the moral high ground? Pot, kettle, black.

    If you don't like me having an opinion there isn't much I can say to you to make you feel better. I might have to find out what you are taking to make you not see clearly, they certainly are making you ignore the glaringly obvious.

    Well there you go, you said it yourself, the reason one was signed was to make way for another that fell through, if it wasn't to speculate then surely Doukara would have been signed up in the first instant <ok>

    FFS I thought we had left this kind of thing behind when Sheldon left.

    If it makes you feel better everything I say on here is MY OPINION do I really start needing to add that to every thread, come on mate grow up please.

    I have obviously upset you tonight with my OPINIONS when I am proved correct you can come on here and apologise ;)

    I will of course do the same when Cellino buys the ground, gets us promoted and makes gives us something to really be positive about.

    In all seriousness I am confused as to why you have decided to jump on my back tonight, I have tried not to bite as I usually respect your opinion, not always agreeing but then this is what forums are for aren't they?
