    Think we will win tomorrow and the protest will be a damp squib and that will be the end of it.

    I don't know mate, 99% of WACCOE is behind it and thats a huge site. One of the posters on there is organising it.

    A quick look on JA and theres only one poster supporting Cellino left posting on there.

    I agree and think his days are numbered.

    The man is a fool and I think him trying to break the collective bargaining TV rights will finally be the end of him. He will not get shred of support from the other clubs.
    If he somehow, against the odds wins his case, Sky who still have the monopoly for the FL will simply stop showing our games starving us of another stream of income.
    I just wish the ****wit would devote as much of his time to the playing squad and a decent manager as he does to picking fights with all and sundry, then he might actually make good his promise (missed) of promotion in two years.

    Majority, is it? I don't remember that referendum. Someone making up stories? Again. <doh>

    It may well be, but unless there is some tangible proof, it's a fairy story.

    No, it's just unquantified, there is definitely a number of people that want Cellino out and are prepared to protest against him (the poster outside ER being tangible proof), just no one knows if it is a majority for or against.

    Aye, I agree, but Glory said the majority that want Cellino out, hence my post. He's guessing, but presenting it as fact. Again.

    I think the man's a nutter. But he's our nutter. I cannot stand all this vindictive harassment. If he's as vain & mad as the haters suggest, hasn't it occurred to them that he might just run us down to non-league out of spite? He can certainly afford it, and he's get GFH back too. That's my biggest worry. It could happen.

    Yes Ristac, I agree that GFH's shares will skyrocket if we get in PL, but they'll skyrocket even more if they have 25% ownership of ER, plus, it gives them a little stranglehold, and we know what Indians are like when it comes to money.

    Wouldn't surprise me if GFH were willing us to go straight back down again so they can get their hands on their share of the parachute payment.

    Old parachute payment arrangements

    New parachute payment arrangements
    http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/jun/02/parachute-payments-clubs-relegated-premier-league

    I respect your opinion of Cellino Ristac, I just think some people should be decent enough to give Cellino credit for the good work he has done for LUFC plus, if some of the fans are going to continue to give Cellino stick, then Cellino has every right to reply in any way he feels like it, after all, he owns LUFC......:emoticon-0148-yes:

    I can not see, or understand how this letter writer, and others can say Cellino has failed....................failed at what?

    Where were we before Cellino came in?

    Where are we since Cellino came in?

    Where's the failure, what has he failed at?

    So, let's say Cellino goes, who at moment has Evans saying, and copying Cellinos intent for promotion next season, and we get another owner who produces a 3 or 5 year plan to get Leeds back in Premier.....................that puts us way way backward in giant steps.

    Then a few disgruntled and impatient fans, probably same lot, start saying after 1 season "it's time to go Mr new owner" and we just keep going around in circles with every new owner, and in 5,6 or 7 years time we'll be hearing the same crap from these few impatient disgruntled fans, and we'll still be in Championship listening to Chippy recite his past disgruntlement, over and over about how crap the new owners are/were............:emoticon-0148-yes:

    Just a bit of fun Chips......<hug>

    In all honesty, I wouldn't be surprised if some consortium is behind this, lurking in shadows getting others to do their dirty work.

    If he does some good work I agree.

    But it's a football club and we ar playing the worst football I have ever seen from us, we are 16th and then we have pie tax and the creating seperstinog our own fans from each other killing the atmosphere in the ground. Not to mention not reinvesting transfer money back into the playing squad and his revolving door policy on coaches that has lead to Evans!

    If Cellino goes at least there will be a plan. Far better than the bipolar knee jerking of this mad ****. I would prefer Bates....


    The only other owner I wanted out was bates and even then I was saying be careful what we wish for. GFH were con artists and not one of us knew what they were up to so there wasn't any great campaign from anyone..... They just ran out of cash.

    They ran out out of cash!!! after they burdened Leeds with a 30mill loan at high interest repayments, which is what Cellino renegotiated down, thus shrinking our debt.

    OR, they knew exactly what they were doing with helpfull advice and tips from Bates. Let's not forget GFH tried to con Cellino by inserting in the agreement that if Harvey and Co banned Cellino for life, which GFH were relying on, they could buy back Leeds United for 1 quid. Fortunately, Cellino was smarter than them and it backfired on'em......:emoticon-0148-yes:

    I must admit, I feared GFH from near the start and felt they had no money.

    In Cellinos own words, we can tell him he has failed if we don't get promotion in 2015/16 just a few matches to go and we can officially tell him.

    Cellino is no Saint Chippy, I'm happy to admit that, but some of us can see the good he has done for the club since he arrived, especially as we were left in dire straits by GFH who refused to pump any more money into LUFC; we are in a better position than we were with Bates and GFH.

    Cellino bought Wood for 3mill, he bought Bamba, both on someone else's say so, he bought Erwin on someone else's say so, he's got Dallas, Carayole and Degarouge, or whatever his name is, then there's Botaka, possibly Adeyemi and Bridcut.

    Everyone was saying Cellino was picking the players he bought, now he ain't interfering, and with exceptions, look what's been brought in......:emoticon-0148-yes:
