    Elland is exited today and said fook you lot I'm going north to tonights match so here you go:

    Scousers tonight will beat us, discuss.

    Radrizanni is supposed to be nearing completion of buying 50% of the club with buying the rest in the Summer

    Still 5th in the table

    Villa match is scary but if we beat them ....

    If I own Leeds and an investor wants to buy the club from me, but can only afford to pay for 50% now and the rest in a few months, what does that say? However another scenario is that Radrizanni is wealthy and not silly and neither is Cellino, and both know that potentially the club is worth a shed load more in the Summer if we get promotion, which is a guaranteed £150m for next season. So Cellino being smart says 'the club is valued at £x now so give me half and you gamble on your half being worth many times more in the future. if however we get promoted you will have to pay me many times more for the other half?

    You would expect a team high up in the premier league to beat to beat a team in the championship. That is a fact but how many times has an overwhelming favourite been beaten in football history?. It seems like Radizanni has been trying to buy the club for years if rumour is to be believed with no success.

    The last time we had success in cup comps was under Simon Grayson. Arsenal, Spurs, Liverpool, Man Utd were all great matches and replays before we took a bow. You know what, I think this season has the same feel as those days. The season we should have won back to back promotions but Bates told Simon to fook off as we were guaranteed promotion. Bates thought that because we were in top 6 all season we would go up, but we finished 7th and went backwards from there because bates was selling from underneath Grayson and not giving contracts to our better players.

    Think on Cellino, we need to invest in January if we even want a chance of promotion

    Even though I am desperate for it to happen I will believe the TOMA story only when it happens. this 50% now 50% later sounds like a load of bollix to me. Did TTGM leak it?


    For the second year running the club are not selling half season tickets. They must be mad turning this income stream down.

    I like you think its bollox but if it were true my theory above would make some sense of it. However we do know Radrizanni has been in out on off for months and then Cellino sorted out all his debts and took full control, which obviously (to many) was a sign he was selling. Then the deal with Radrizanni fell through, why? maybe Cellino thought that things were good on the pitch and value could soar? I dont know but things are never black and white at Leeds. The piece was in a Singapore top newspaper as Radrizanni is a respected bussinesman over there. someone posted the story and photos on twatter

    Its in an interview in one of todays daily rags so not too bothered. One worrying aspect is he says there are no Chinese investors and will explain his plans soon. Sounds to me like another consortium could be on the way <doh> Not whats needed at all at present

    It's not bollocks as some very good ITKers have been telling us this for months. Now Rad has spoken confirms this is happening. My only worry is if we got promotion (which I don't think we will this year) is that Cellino decides to hang on to his 50%

    Seeing as Wood has proven very profitable for me this season I'm gonna take advantage of William Hills odds of 25-1 for Leeds to win and Wood to score anytime. Worth 10 quid I think.

    I've had a tenner on Wood to score first in every game he has started this season. Well in profit so far

    Afternoon all .. safe journey Ell, let's see you do a streak across the pitch in the 85th minute [emoji85] ... Cellino negotiating 50% up front is in case we miss out on promotion and the buyer walks away, and there will be a higher payment agreed if promotion is achieved .. wonder if Cellino is going to want a few million a year for life once he sells, you know, like the deal the Forest owner is looking for

    be great if we can sneak a result tonight, but it feels like a big hiding is on the way because Klopp's players will be trying to catch his eye to fill the gaps left by Lallana, Sturridge and Coutinho's injuries .. if we lose I hope its by the odd goal and we give them a proper run, be good for our confidence .. Klopp has openly targeted the League Cup this season as a winnable trophy, so don't expect him to let his team coast tonight

    Sorry. I think its bollocks.... The deal described makes no sense.

    if you keep saying a take over is going to happen one day you will be right. But it doesn't make anyone ITK its just what happens.

    If you want to buy something and you are in a position to afford it you assess the value agree a price and buy it.It doesn't matter if its a bar of chocolate or a block of flats the steps are the same. Radrizanni does not sound like the person we want to buy the club. We have had more than our share of chancers.

    I still think this bloke was linked to us as part of scamgate sting the papers did a couple of months ago (the same one that saw off Allerdyce from the england job) and the Chinese investors never existed...

    Would love to be wrong but from experience real business deals do not conducted in the open so I don't believe a word of this latest wheeze.
