    He's rich enough to buy all the shares and guess thats why shares in GFH Capital went up 11%.

    Not sure, he's part of a Sardinian family business that makes €200m profit a year.
    In the past he's tried buying Palace, QPR, and West Ham.

    Lives in Miami.

    Sounds like he'd be more trouble than he's worth.

    Hey, thats far too sensible for on here.

    You're supposed to hate someone who's:

    Brought in a decent manager
    Made neccessary changes and improvements to the training ground
    Got rid of Bates
    Got rid of Yorkshire Radio (and Ben Fry) and brought back Radio Leeds
    Kept McCormack!!
    Reduced ST prices
    Introduced a cheaper new young adult category
    Allowed concessions to sit in more than one area of the ground
    Introduced quite a few ticket schemes, including giving ST holders the ability to get an extra free ticket for the Wigan home game.
    Not called the fans (customers) morons
    Introduced a mini bar on the North concourse
    Has been paying off the debts Bates has laden us with

    and most important, trying to take over the club with a consortium of Leeds fans, who want to back the manager with the players he wants, already having helped him bring in 2 of the 4 players he wanted.

    But hey, he must be a tw@t because the takeover hasn't gone through yet <doh>

    On the other hand RCDM, now I'm playing devil's advocate here.
    No takeover goes through.
    So no money for new players.
    Also too late to sign anyone.
    Results get worse.
    Crowds fall.
    Not enough money is generated to pay for the general running of the club.
    Our best players(few and far between, I know) have to be sold in the summer.

    etc etc etc...:emoticon-0106-cryin

    Aye lads ... so now we at least know the problem isn't Haigh and Sports Capital, it's GFH trying to bleed more cash out of them

    As an interested party, he most likely would have recused himself/been excluded from GFH conversations and decision making.
