    Now I believe that MC is a very astute man so astute that he has tried to find a loop hole in Cameron Stewarts alledged contract with the club so enabling us to cancel his contract so how come we sign 3 loanees who are injured?
    Well first of all lets look at Zac Benedicic he got injured around Oct time so badly that we knew he would not play again all season so normally under these circumstances we send them back to their parent clubs why haven't we done this I ask myself Sheffield United did it with White when he got injured and it seems normal practice
    Cani and Ngoyi were both injured when we signed them and have played no part in the last 4 months apart from one game so why did we sign them
    The only thing I can think of is that something devious has been played out and lets hope the FL don't look into this too deeply as I fear the worst
    Has anyone got an answer to my poser Id love to hear your thoughts on the above matters

    I read a report last week that our physio team advised against signing all three of them as they all had injury concerns, it does make you wonder why this was ignored and why they were not sent back.

    I bet there's some insurance scam being played out here because injured loan players do go back to the parent club, but theres something fishy about these 3 who stayed through a cold winter instead of returning home and recovering in the warm sun. Getting fat on fish and chips wrapped up against the cold makes no sense, is it a tax avoidance scam he's running for crocked players. Some of the players we've signed over the last few years have obviously thought we were a retirement home so maybe that's it. Come to Leeds and stay in the Trundle wing <laugh><laugh>

    In regards to the insurance comment, interesting that they all had an agreed value/fee attached to them.

    MC was so astute in getting out of Stewart's contract that we owe Stewart £750k!
    Cellino is to astute business what Mike is to history of wealth and capital in 19th century Britain.

    I'd like to think it is a clever way of getting around FFP and the transfer embargo. I suspect that it's because no one at the club has a ****ing clue what they're doing.

    Exactly, nothing astute about cancelling a player's contract <doh> So much for loophole!

    Benedicic wasn't injured when he came to us. I've seen him play.

    Benedicic got injured p[laying for the under 21 I believe but normally when they sustain such an injury Neil they send them back to their parent club
    Glory as for your comment I am still awaiting a letter I wrote to the Daily Mail until then I will hold my own council thank you

    Do you remember the last twice you said that to me or do you want me to remind you.
    MC is a bloke who made his money when daddy died and has been frittering the cash away ever since. He is corrupt and his involvement in lufc is something that should concern every supporter of lufc.
    He will drag the club down with him if he doesn't feck off....

    Agree re. sendbacks, Mike, but I was referring to the comment that he was signed whilst aready injured. He wasn't - I watched him play (well perhaps appear would be a better word - he didn't impress).

    Of course I remember and I still will maintain what I said it was very disrespectful of you to call Bradford a tinpot town.I just pointed out how it was the centre of the industrial revolution

    No you didn't.
    And if you had you would have been wrong again. The West Midlands were the centre of the industrial revolution. Salt was just a get rich quick Quaker a bit like Rowntree or Cadbury. The drivers of the industrial process were those like Cartwright who invented the machines that mechanised many of the processes that had always been cottage industries.

    Btw still waiting for the daily fail or T and A to get in touch. Perhaps you should write to them again!
    Have you considered involving the BBC?

    Sorry for calling Bradford tinpot.............











    I was giving the place too much respect, it was and still is a ****hole.
