Just a comment on the takeover guys. I fully back the takeover but I can appreciate some fans concerns. I myself have some doubts relating to GFH Captital, I mean, i feel like the whole privacy and exclusivity makes me feel like they may be hiding something. Are they financially able to support Colin and the squad? In relation to the Forest takeover, Al-Hasawi was very open from the start about his intentions and this allowed forest fans to do some research into there new owner. We however dont know enough about GFH to comment or even imagine what there plans really are?
Don't shoot the messenger, just looking for fellow fans opinion on the matter. What you think Ed?

I'm new to this aswell.

GFH are no Abramovich though are they,havent got anything like the financial clout what he has,poor comparison I think,bit worrying if as reported they are having to sell assets,and the latest statement from GFH doesnt tell us anything new,been hearing this for months,be interesting to see what money they make available to NW.

Agree2 Disagree1

I personaly think there is a 3rd party ie backer involved...
this is my personal opinion and not a rumour or fact
George LS13

Out of the frying pan into the fire for fianances

Agree2 Disagree1

You could have a point there George LS13,perhaps thats why theres been so much emphasis on confidentiality,to safeguard their identity,be great if it was true.

Surely short term its got to be good news the only way gfh can make money is to get us in prem lge?

Agree2 Disagree0

Its might be gillet and hicks. I hope not, if they r arabs then they will invest.

Agree0 Disagree1

You are assuming that it is in fact GFH that has asked for the Confidentiality Clause! All through this, the one constant is David Haigh tweeting on how he wishes he could say more.... I would suggest this Clause is more like a Bates Doing.... Come, on how many of the transfer fees do we know about, all we see is 'UNDISCLOSED', or indeed any financial dealings over the last 7 years.... the only reason we know ANYTHING about the finances is that it's available via companies house - a legal requirement... Don't think our illustrious old goat is going to want GFH giving interviews about how difficult our accounts are to unravel, or how they had to investigate 27 companies.... the end is nigh Mr Bates, now do one !!

Hi all Forest fan in peace.Your poster above is not quite right regarding Forest take over.It was a very bad time for our fans as there was a lot of talk but no action,we had no chairman,no money at all,no team because they were all busy looking after their own interests and no certainly no information coming from the club.Then all of a sudden the T O was done and the club started to move forward.Good luck with your T O

Thanks forest fan!!

Heres a question fellow leeds fans.. wot do ww need from wide players.. some one with pace.. dribbling skills n a good crosser.. we have played diouff on left midfield before is he good enough he no pace n cant cross.. the fact is dioufd is good at holding up the ball n passing therefore put him behind the front two feed them passes and holding up for wide players.. Do we agree or disagree let me know

lufcfan forever

Believable13 Unbelievable2

I think he is a good crosser

How do we know the takeover is in the hands of the football league where has that come from ?

Believable4 Unbelievable3

If you look at the os it has a statement that the required notification of the take over is indeed in the hands of the football league as the regulations require.

White4ever......

Agree2 Disagree0

That's not what it says at all. It says the FL has been informed. The statement means absolutely nothing.

leeds united the longest ever takeover to be concluded!! wot a bleeming joke this has become.... no money no players no fans and no premiership!

to say dh is a leeds fan he doing much bowt it is he neither are the companies involved, but imo bates and gfh have been doing business on a holiday camp!

i give up on the takeover and tbh it aint gunna get any better soon is it?
has nw reached the time where he has to go imo yes! i love nw for wot he done with his career but this is his team and ive seen my local pub play neater football. but i will give nw another 3 games to turn things around and win fans back..

look at diouf start of the season he was playing great football but he changed his position on played him up front and he aint a striker.. he needs to play behind the front 2 in my eyes and hold the ball up for fullbacks to come into the game..
white is not a defender and cant defend for shzza.. he always out of position and aint strong enough and brown just likes fouling players in dangerous positions.. becchio is losing confidence because he aibnt got no feed to score goals..his strength is heading so why not get wide and cross the ball in the box.. why do we insist on playing long ball football which is utter crap because we never do owt with it while its up there.

and also we always play the offside trap at the back n our defenders cant deal with it so go back to good old man marking.

byram is the only revelation to come out of our squad this year. he has been consistant but i think we dont know his real position yet.. i prefer him right midfield cause he runs at fullbacks and gets his head up..bring back poleon and thompson and give them a chance in the staring eleven i think they can really dleiver and i know thompson has got something to offer i know he can play aswell...

my team for sunday
ashdown
lees peltier pearce drury
byram tonge hall
diouff
becchio varney

rite leeds fans rant over and i am a manager of football team have my coaching badges and know wot im talking about.. dont give me hassle for this rant people i just want some honest opinions

lufcfan forever

Believable6 Unbelievable7

how can pearce play he's got a 3 match suspension,keep up with the club news and games,btw we list 6 1 last week in case you didnt know

Agree4 Disagree1

Good post mate, vinny.

Agree1 Disagree1

Can't play Pearce - he's suspended. MOT!! White4Life

Agree3 Disagree0

How did you get around the fact that Pearce is suspended for 3 games, I like your logic, but he definitely won't be playing.

LUFC-Bob

Agree3 Disagree0

Pearce is suspended, and and I think drury is injured.

Agree3 Disagree0

Can't be a good manager if you think you can play suspended players..

Agree2 Disagree0

How much of a LUFCfan forever are you when you've selected a player who's suspended for Sundays match!!
Kisnorbo for Pearce and your selection's about right.

Agree2 Disagree1

Original poster here i forgot pearce was suspended my bad but i kniw drury is available.. well maybe nw will go with the 352 then unless he gunna take a risk with kizzo.. i do keep up with eveything fir the guy who said so but i made a mistake.. i could b on here tellin u peeps i have inside knowledge bowt takeova but i come on eya with facts.. the to is a farce n peep go on bowt it too much. the fact is tge team we have is the team we pkay n its a managers job to work that team to the bone. they all want more money fact is they aint worth it...

Agree3 Disagree0

You manage a football team and would actually set our team up like that? Byram and Hall would be pushing forward. Tonge always gets forward. Diouf sitting behind two strikers. That's essentially 6 as a forward line and nothing in midfield to protest the defence!

Crmd

Agree2 Disagree2

No i wouldnt have tong running forward thats our problems our midfield go forward and not the wingers... Wot im saying is hold tong back and diouff holds the ball up and feeds the front two and the wingers thats the idea of an att midfielder....Listen ive won leagues and cups as a manager and have all my badges i know wot im talking about..All im saying is give it a go and see how it goes. I assure you there will be more chance of scoring and less chance of conceding.. Tell me your formation how u would go about changing something that is really struggling at the minute... Tong is better as a playmaker not midfielder... Who else woyuld protect the defence... Sonmeone had a bad day havent they?

Agree0 Disagree0

You say you are giving facts...they are your opinion on a team formation,certainly not facts

Agree1 Disagree1

Thats why I wouldn't play Tonge in a deeper role, it's in his nature to get forward, have shots from edge of the box etc.

I'm not even sure how I'd set thr tram up at the minute. I'd deffo want a Brown in my midfield when he's available though. Need a bit of hard tackling in there

Just checked how long football league approval takes and seems to range from the same day to 48 hours later so by that time scale saying nothing goes wrong bates should be out by saturday.
Evidence was the pozzo takeover at watford and readings takeover.

If the story in the Guardian is true from tuesday then the football league should turn them down.
I don't want a company that is in debt and is having to sell assets accordingly to fund the cash for the takeover as it only has 37 mill in pounds sterling.
Give it to Haskell, at least he has some cash

Agree2 Disagree7

I want the Saudis, its sounds like them boys have some real money

David Healy had a good game last
night. I wonder if he would like
to come back from Bury?

Gianni Paladini is hopeful that a deal
will be struck within 10 days for the
takeover of Birmingham.
WHY IS THIS TAKING SO LONG GFH?

Believable1 Unbelievable12

When was anything to do with Leeds United ever straightforward?

Agree3 Disagree0

Healy's the past. Let's look to the future.

Agree6 Disagree1

I must be psychic! Apparently Ken Bates
looking at Bury .....

Agree1 Disagree1

Am i reading right here? Healy from bury? desperate we are but this is plain lunacy! why the hell would we want healy when poleon offers far more prospects and he is on loan at bury from us anyway? forget it,its ridiculous! lol

Agree3 Disagree1

Just a thought. Let's get them both back.
Ken Bates IS looking at Bury.

Just wondering ed if when this takeover takes place whether you will be putting on some flashing lights and banners etc on the front page it will make the hundreds of checks every fan is doing worthwhile and fiinally have an official end to this long takeover saga on the rumours and banter sites {Ed013's Note - I will look into it}

Believable10 Unbelievable0

Finding it curious that people are bidding for our mighty club again wonder if they know something we don't I.E. they know GFH can't go through with it. Thoughts?

Believable1 Unbelievable3

GFH are buying the club end of.

Agree2 Disagree2

'End of'? End of 2012 or 2013? End of the next decade, century or maybe millennium? You seem very sure when the evidence is starting to stack up against it ever happening. I hope you're right but I don't see how you can be so confident.

Agree1 Disagree1

How is the evidence stacking up? Lots of people are throwing comments and speculation about but other than it taking a while I'm not sure there is any evidence. All parties involved have stated that they are continuing to work on the deal. They are close to completion and it will be done when its done.

Agree0 Disagree0

The evidence being the GFH parent company's published accounts combined with the unusual length of time this is taking. On that basis it's looking uncertain I would say.
