    Good Morning Everyone,

    Eddie Gray has hit back at claims saying he was being paid £100,000 a year at Elland Road.

    Gray says: “I don’t know what’s happening with my own situation at the club and I will probably go and have a word with the president.

    But what annoys me is that you get someone, and I don’t know who it was, writing on some websites that I was on a hundred grand a year.

    “I’m not talking about any figures but a hundred grand a year is what someone said and that’s garbage. I just don’t know where these people get their information from.


    Tommaso Giulini is in talks with MS to buy a controlling stake in Cagliari. The former Inter board member has been in talks about a 50m takeover of the Serie A club. Would this allow MS to then be able to invest in Leeds Utd?

    According to the Daily Mail he has brought in some forensic accountants, to get to the bottom of where the cash has gone. I see GFH/Haigh and maybe Bates being chased by the fraud squad. Oh and wouldn't it be great if that twat Harvey was involved too. That would really make football administration seem sleazy, as Scudamore from the FA and Harvey from the FL in hot water

    Morning Doc,

    Indeed. The people going through the books were saying they were the worst they had ever seen.

    Have to say well done to Hull for their performance in the FA Cup. They did themselves proud.

    Thought Arsenal should have had at least 2 penalties though.

    Morning all. Forensic accountants snooping around eh? Brown stuff and whirly wheel don't even come close to describing what will hit the fan if they find anything.

    So "EVERY" penny Cellino has put in so far has been in the form of a loan that generates 10% interest (3% more than Haigh's)

    Your debts gets higher by the second <yikes>

    Is Cellino skint?

    Morning all <ok>

    It would be interesting and pretty amusing for us all if these forensic accounts find something damning on Bates / GFH. Hopefully by the time they've got to the bottom of it, Calgiari's sale will have gone through and Cellino can start the rebuild in ernest.

    Anyone else thinking Brown just got released because he was number 17?? <whistle>

    Morning all ... shame that Gray has been forced to publicly defend himself against unfounded comments from half-wits ... I hope Cellino sells Cagliari, but I don't see that meaning he pumps that money into Leeds, although £20m into the transfer fund would help stacks ... not holding my breath on signings because Cellino has laid his table and there's no cutlery, plates or cups on it, so we won't be able to pay for anyone and free transfers will probably be the order of the day ... Browneh got released because he keeps kicking players until they're purple, and Cellino could have changed his squad number but not the bruises

    @TC .... yaaaaaawwwwnnnn

    Morning people, over discussing the same thing all the time. Personally prefer discussing football.

    Anyone seen Lewis Cook has made it to the final with the England U17s as Portugal were beat 2-0. Do we think he could be making a breakthrough soon, have heard some really good reports on him since the U17s tournament started.

    After Bates and GFH there hasn't been too much football to talk about, 10 years of bargain basement purchases and being bled dry has ensured that. Now we are wondering if the cuts go deeper than Cellino had realised and the warning sounds coming out are sounding like it MIGHT be another season of no money or funds so again sadly there won't be much else to debate.
