    Good Morning Everyone,

    Never a dull day being a Leeds fan eh?

    So, the Professional Conduct Committee (PCC) chaired by Tim Kerr QC rejected Cellino’s appeal against disqualification, deciding a tax evasion conviction in Italy last year was an offence of dishonesty.

    This bans Cellino from running the club, until April 10th.

    Cellino told the Yorkshire Evening Post: “This changes nothing. I’ll abide by the rules, I’ll resign but then in April, finito, I’ll come back.

    “I was signing the cheques before. Now someone else will sign them for me. The club has been looked after.

    I have to say I am impressed how Cellino has handled this. Many obstacles have been put in his way over the last year, and somehow, we continue to move forward.

    Look at our situation two years ago, and where we are now! We are in a far more stable position now then we have been for the last 15 years!

    Agree?




    Cellino claimed that Doukara, Bianchi and Sloth all said they wanted to move on if he lost his appeal.

    However Sloth's agent was quick to tweet the following :-

    ivan marko benes @markobenes · 10h10 hours ago
    Casper Sloth is a Leeds Player. He's ready to fight for Leeds and show the fans/club that they haven't seen the best of him yet


    Hopefully, that should settle a few nerves. If Doukara and Bianci want to leave, fcuk em!

    Agree?

    Should Cellino have named these players? Surely, they are now marked men?



    Leeds entertain Bournemouth tonight. Who thinks we can get anything fro the game?

    LUFC are seeking further legal advice. Cellino is to take the case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

    So who thinks Cellino lied when he produced yet more rhetoric with his "I am indespensible to LUFC" outburst when claiming that Doukara, sloth and Bianchi want out because he lost?

    Who thinks losing these three would be a bad thing?

    Can someone do a poll running till the weekend. simple question: Should Cellino stay or go?

    My worry is that GFH are sat waiting in the wings ready to take over the club if Cellino misses a payment. A real bag of spanners behind the scenes regarding club financials, and GFH are in the driving seat even though they sold their shares and only kept 25%, that 25% could mean they get back all they sold and without spending a penny.

    Never known a business being run like this, whereby all the previous owners/shareholders take out more than they put in, and be allowed to do it. WHY CAN'T THE FL LOOK AT THE WAY THE CLUB HAS BEEN RUN AND BAN PEOPLE LIKE GFH AND RICHMOND, AND BATES AND MATES. THAT WOULD HAVE SHOWN THAT THE FL REALLY HAD TEETH, INSTEAD OF MAKING AN EXAMPLE OF CELLINO. SHINAWATRA, THE LATEST REVELATION ABOUT CARSTEN YOUENG AND HIS BLOKE WHO STOLE £2.5M FROM BRUM. THE LEAGUE CLUBS ARE CONTROLLED BY A LOAD OF BENT PEOPLE AND YET NOTHING IS DONE, WHAT ABOUT OYSTEN, TAM .....

    Morning all. Get ready for lots more housework Mike as you support your good wife after her op.

    I don't know about keeping a good man down..... He was found guilty of dishonesty.
    As for his bounce back.. there is such a thing as a dead man bounce. !

    Doukara and Bianci are MC imports and I don't know who would want them as a "swap" even.

    We all need cheering up with a RESULT for a change and if it is to come against the top team with an amazing away record then that will cheer everybody up and start Leeds on the upwards trend.
