    Some facts (I make no value judgements):

    FC Red Bull Salzburg:
    Home kit white shirts and socks, but red (arggghh) shorts, and (of course) a Red Bull logo on the chest, club badge also on shirt also incorporates red bulls
    Away kit – blue shirt and socks, yellow shorts
    Ground: Red Bull arena

    FC Red Bull Leipzig:
    Home kit white shirts and socks, but red (arggghh) shorts, and (of course) a Red Bull logo on the chest, club badge also on shirt also incorporates red bulls
    Away kit – blue shirt and socks, yellow shorts
    Ground: Red Bull arena

    New York Red Bulls:
    Home kit white shirts and socks, but with red arms (arrgghh) and red (arggghh) shorts, and (of course) a Red Bull logo on the chest, club badge also on shirt also incorporates red bulls
    Away kit – blue shirt and socks, yellow shorts
    Ground: Red Bull arena

    compared to:

    Leeds United:
    Home kit white shirts and socks, and white shorts, and an Enterprise Insurance logo on the chest, club badge also on shirt is all LUFC if a bit naff
    Away kit – whatever they can get us to pay good money to buy, changes all the time, at the moment mainly a puke gold colour
    Ground: Elland Road

    Yes. If you buy into the takeover by Red Bull, then you must accept we become part of their franchise. They are not and will not be buying into the Leeds United brand. It changes forever, you either support it or not. For me it will jar if I have to hear the results announcer on sky or the Beeb calling - Brighton 0 - Red Bull Leeds 2

    The FL are corrupt, fo'fuxake, the country is being run by crooks, the FL's obsession with going after Cellino and Leeds United is different to what Cellino says he wants to achieve at our club

    Jeez, I wasn't saying Cellino is to blame for us losing Milner etc, just that it needs to stop ... Cellino has personally stated his blueprint is to develop young talent and sell them for a profit, just like he did at Cagliari, and like it or not this will continue while Cellino is at Leeds ... he will also continue to bring in free transfers and loans with the hope someone comes good and can be sold for a few million ... so, for me Cellino needs to go, he is a destabilising influence on our club

    Unfortunately so has every other owner, chairman for the past two decades and I've no doubt nothing will change in next two. Why should it, after all there's no chance of anyone with Leeds connections taking control so expect many more on ego trips pretending to spend some cash

    Read the post again <doh>

    Wasn't saying I respect Cellino, said if he gets in the way of the deal I would respect him more (and said it in jest anyway...)

    And that is the fundamental point I disagree with. I'd prefer to be unsuccessful and stay in the championship for the next 10 years under the name Leeds United than become Red Bull Leeds and be playing in Europe within the next 5 years (not that I think that is in anyway a realistic target anyway, in fact I don't think the investment or the improvement around the club would be anywhere near as dramatic as what some are saying on here).

    At some point, you just have to draw the line.

    There are plenty of rich ****s who haven't paid their fair share of tax out there, some still playing and involved in football today, Beckham, Gerrard, Lineker to name a few
    Anyone would think Cellino was a mass murderer

    Here are the latest Euro champions league results,

    Red Bull Leeds 2 - Red Bull Salzburg 0

    Red Bull Leipzig 3 - Red Bull Leeds 3.

    Just to confirm last weeks Red Bull Leeds friendly

    New York Red Bulls 1 - Leeds Red Bulls 2.

    Doesn't even sound exciting, very bland with a very dull ring to it and it sounds like a group of rugby teams.

    We might get over it, but he will be banned for the whole period till his conviction is spent. There is no point fans howling at the moon or putting their heads in the sand. Is that really so difficult to understand?

    Yea I know what your saying, if he is gonna be convicted and banned from the club then our opinion of him becomes completely invalid anyway.

    But it is an interesting point that players seem exempt from this same ban that Cellino is getting done for. Didn't Messi have a huge issue with not paying tax a little while back?

    That's why it's called the owners and directors test!

    I for one am sick of an inept Leeds united wallowing in a crap championship with only likely route out in near future being to league 1. If it takes red bull or Icelandic airlines to give us the financial clout to get out of the ****hole were in, then they have my vote for one. I'm not alone either. A cross section of fans comments over last few days on Twitter have shown me that
