Billy, when one of Sport Capital's backers pulled out, wasn't it Haigh who sought out Cellino as a potential investor? (Although at the time this was dressed up as Cellino being there in an 'advisory capacity')

Billy gets a hard on for Haigh and won't have anything said against him. Billy has nailed his colors to Haigh from day-1, and even I believed Haigh to start with. I changed my views about him over a period of months because I'm not gullible and saw nothing he was doing which was useful for the club. All I saw was a bloke who loved to big himself up and we fans after so many years of pain latched onto him only to be let down yet again. Billy be man enough to admit you were wrong.
I heard that interview and it was encouraging. He won't be taken for a mug and has kept Cagliari in the top division despite the governing bodys best to get rid of them
It was and I suppose when Cellino thought about it he wondered why should he subsidise a twat like Haigh with his money and do the deal himself. can't blame him for that
Before that claim that he likes the coach, he said "he gave me no choice but to sack him. I want a coach not a manager" and a load of other ****e. Why do you ignore facts?

This is what is wrong with the world and why I hate people, so stupid that they idolise those with the most money despite the fact that 99% of them are utter ****s that would **** on you at the first opportunity to make a 5er.
Marko lets not aim such comments directly at people just because they have a difference in opinion to you.
You welcomed GFH in with open arms (because you hated Bates so much) so don't have a go at some people for accepting Cellino.

That's a pretty big minority to have walked away from supporting their club in the last few years...
If he loves his home town club so much and hasn't left it a desolate ruin and a shell of it's former self, why on earth is he selling?
Latest I've heard is he's hired a PR firm to go round social media and traditional media and sing his praises to minimize any backlash, and you gullible set of dumb ****s have fallen for it.
Calm down lads, we are all going to differ in opinions, we already know that!
But we are Leeds aint we? (yep even you TC) Lets try and remember that before throwing personal insults around. And if you cant handle it now, its probably time to give the forums a break because its going to get a hell of a lot worse before it gets better!
MOT.

Its a stressfull time and theres more than a few topics that are going to divide the board at the moment. We got to try and remember to not take others opinions as a personal insult and not throw our own back. I used to be one of the worst for it on the old 606 so know how easy it is to let emotions over run
As I said earlier, its going to get worse before it gets better IMO!
oh and Eire, you may have to change your profile pic soon to you eating a bowl of spaghetti rather than riding a camel!
So what EXACTLY has Haigh done wrong? I get it ... he was wrong to boot Bates and his cronies out, he was wrong to shut down that loss making elephant called Yorkshire Radio, he was wrong to put £3.5m of his own money into the club when they needed it, he was wrong to give McCormack a new deal, he was wrong to reject bids for McCormack, he was wrong to put £1m into Leeds Ladies after Bates had cut all ties with that important side of the club, he was wrong to support McD with signings, he was wrong to support McD in sorting out TA and getting a scouting system back in place ... boy, this Haigh guy really is a fool, definitely not the kind of bloke we want at our club

If he stopped talking the talk, or actually talked the talk where required (fans forum etc) got the backing we need to substain staying a float then I'd be more than happy with him.
He's failed on the above. The things he has done for though does deserve praise, I just think from a business side of things the guy has failed big time. Well GFH has, and by association Haigh has also. Also whats all this about the scouse mafia having a look in? And people are attacking Cellinio, its not forgotten by me that Haigh brought them both to the door step.
Just my thoughts
Cellino blocked the sale by all accounts, I haven't seen one report saying it was Haigh? McDermott gave permission for Varney to join Blackburn leaving him out of the midweek match and Cellino blocked all sales or he requested GFH block all sales.
If Haigh is the man taking credit for all you say he did Billy then he must take the blame for saying money was available to the manager in January - LIE it wasn't. He must also take the blame for cancelling the deal for Barnes, he must also take the blame for allowing the deal to collapse. There are two sides to every coin and none of us know the whole truth because everyone involved is covering their own backs, filling their own pockets and not giving a genuine toss for any of the fans.
