all of our recent travails both on and off the pitch. Since Ridsdale EVERY owner has been worse than the last. Every last one of them has come in and raped the club in one way or another. Bates was terrible, but GFH and now Cellino is even worse than them. Yes Bates was milking the club but let's face some obvious truths we would not have been relegated based purely on our on pitch results under Bates. We always had a couple of good players (saleable assets). Gfh took us to the brink of relegation AND financial ruin before "white knight" Cellino stepped in. But he has ultimately run the club in such a way that the financial curbs he has put in place has meant the playing and coaching staff is the poorest it has ever been. Costs needed to be cut but not directly in the end product. For the first time in our history we are on the verge of seeing league three entirely due to the onfield results..., this is not what progress looks like. CELLINO and his failing business model have to go NOW! Yes I am saying it... Bates was a btravails both on and off the pitch. Since Ridsdale EVERY owner has been worse than the last.

A fans consortium including wealthy Leeds fans, an alternate to Cellino if there are no singular rich buyers about who want to buy thin air. Clearly there are no longer the Romans or Citeh arabs interested in LUFC.
Again a fans consortium including wealthy businessmen and celebrities would be preferable to what we have now, given we are not an attractive purchase for any billionaires or caffeine drink providers. Rotherham was a landmark result after 12 years of bollox and recent managerial changes, threats to reduce way fan capacity, promises to sell etc etc.
and financial outgoings from the share of revenue paid to the owner(s) for events held at ER such as concerts and the rugby.
Both are not going to take us forward, both would lead to admin and relegation... That's about the only potential change that is not worth considering. Besides which it won't ever happen they couldn't raise the funds.
What if Cellino sold half of his share to Bates - they could be joint chairmen/presidents - a formidable partnership - if one gets banned, the other could step in till his ban ends and vice versa
All simply loaning money to another bunch of potless chancers trying to fool the fans into believing that a 100 quid donation would somehow mean wed all own shares
I was trying to reply to cheshirewhite when he said no one wants to buy us. I was going to say there must be a reason and it can only be no bugger trusts the owner whoever it is.
Evening Lee & all. You make some good points but it will cost him 15 million to buy the ground back, which on top of his initial outlay of allegedly 30 million. So he'd need to sell at 45 million to get his money back and that is well over priced for only 75% of the club bearing in mind GFH still hold the remainder. No one is going to buy at that price. It's going to need someone so **** off rich that they don't have to worry about DD and can pay the current owners (and no doubt a few hidden hanger onners) to buy the lot and sorry but that ain't going to happen
