Its not certain yet that he has actually bought leeds but he is already saying he wants to bring in a new keeper thought that was McDermotts job
Right thats sorted then when Millwall visit we'll be taking 17 coaches with 17 people on each and DJ Campbell is to be handed the number 17 shirt(he has put his money on it)
What more proof do we need ? There are cars parked outside Elland Road. The Italian fella almost certainly drives a car. Elland Road + Car + Italian who drives cars......... I'd say it's 100% certain he's bought the club.
Wickers,I didn't say he'd bought the club,just that his son was outside the ground today,and posted a picture.
Some of these guys obviously don't spend much time on waccoe. That picture will likely prompt twenty pages of posts on the toms tread
Eire if Haigh manages to get this deal over the line, and without Don Corleone, do you think he will have learnt to keep his gob shut unless he has some good news thats fact?
Doubt it Doc. He can't stay away from social media. Ive no problem with that, it's the cryptic crap thats annoying and lately lies. Shows no respect for the fans he professes to think so much of
So to get back to the OP the takeover isn't a done deal then Why the **** write threads when you don't have a clue whats happening
This is taken from http://leedsitalia.blogspot.it/2014/01/cellino-e-il-leeds-united.html might interest you lot. Cellino and Leeds United It is no longer a secret. Massimo Cellino is in talks to acquire Leeds United. In 2010, he tried with West Ham three and a half years after the president of Cagliari could succeed in its aim to become a shareholder of English football team. The news began circulating two days ago. Interviewed by L'Unione Sarda Cellino has revealed, for the first time, the intention to join the club of Elland Road. Immediately his statements were taken from the main Italian media and bounced on social networks. Maybe we were just us Leeds United Italy, via twitter, to bring the voice of the Channel. In the land of Albion nothing had transpired in this regard. In the evening, Sky Sports has also begun to address the story, devoting much space to an affair that, last night around midnight, Di Marzio has given to complete. Even Phil Hay and Adam Pope, two who are very familiar with the environment Leeds, have begun to make tentative admissions. Since the story is impossible to become possible. As now happens more often social networks have clarified a bit 'the question and photos posted by the son of Cellino, on istragram, helped to do some' clarity. The family is really in Yorkshire and is pursuing negotiations. In today's day there have been additional details. It came the confirmation of the meeting between Cellino and David Haigh, to discuss dell'acqusito 75% of the shares of the club. Adam Pope reported that Cellino would be present at Elland Road last Saturday, for the match between United and Leicester. According to Sky Sports UK patron of Cagliari would not become the majority shareholder, but would be the fourth member of the Sports Capital consortium that for weeks already started negotiations with the GFH Capital. Along with him there would be David Haigh, Salem Patel and Andrew Flowers. A situation quite complicated, that only a possible official announcement could be made more clear. Cellino probably has many shortcomings, his record of 36 exemptions in 20 years is not exactly what you would need to Leeds, but it is also a president who over the years has guaranteed a stay constant at Cagliari in Serie A. Passionate, sometimes over the top, the number one Sardinian lead a breath of fresh air to a fan base that after the excitement of the immediate Bates is starting to doubt the intentions of the property. Knower of football, able to find unknown players and then sell them to important figures (Naingollan is just the latest example), would be a nice turnaround for a club that over the past decade has sold their best talent. If Cellino wanted to start his adventure by placing a technical and acceptable in place of Brian McDermott would start probably in an absurd manner. If you want to help the current project manager to build a sustainable and able to achieve the goals would be a perfect way to start his English adventure. Inevitably, however, the rumors about possible new signings and coaches have already begun to circulate. The gift of Cellino would goalkeeper Julio Cesar, a great plug, but probably in the role in which Leeds is mostly covered. If you want to groped to climb to the playoffs the team has other needs: an attacker is absolutely necessary, as well as a midfielder and a defender. It is also ventilated the hypothesis Allegri, instead of McDermott. In the night, according to Sky Sports, Cellino would have contacted the former coach of AC Milan, to check availability. A technician with no experience of the Championship would be a colossal mistake, especially if hired mid-season.
I'm really quite confused by the FFP stuff. I don't see there is a disincentive. Isn't it just a financial penalty? The accounts come out twpo years later, or thereabouts - you don't get relegated or points docked for it. If you're a billionaire and get promoted or stay in the top division earning nearly £100m for just that, then a slap on the wrist of a £1m or even £5m is nothing (especially if you budget for it). Getting relegated and losing 80% of your income, despite the parachute payments, is the only real disincentive. Lose the parachutes too, and you really have an incentive for people not to buck the system. Someone, please explain to me in plain english what the real FFP carrots and sticks are.
Think the fine can be up to 100% of overspend.Can be big money.Did you hear Chelsea complaining about Man City's spending the other night.So funny and Rich coming from them.
