Pete

Survivor is a good guy. I believe I scared him off the site with a couple of tongue in cheek insults his direction. I wasn't the only guilty party though. Our POTS did the same thing. Talking of which we never congratulated MM for his award so congrats MM.

Any comparison between me and Survivor take as a compliment. Fact is we all dish it to each other on here. You got to be able to take it as well. Like me. I am anti-Cellino. I foresee a very bad future with him as majority owner. Is my view really that controversial? I accept it's negative but what exactly is there positive to feel about? According to Wex, it's because in absence of Cellino we'd fall into the hands of a vulture who'd pick our bones. If you go with Merv's conspiracy theory, that's precisely what's about to happen. Cellino is the vulture in waiting. The key error he made was not to re-acquire the ground and/ or buy out GFH. He has every reason simply to burn us now and take what he wants. We'll see what comes out of today's board meeting but at this stage I expect Fat Boy Steve to be given another season with little to no player investment in the summer. His job once again will be avoid relegation.

I don't mean offense lads. I'd love to meet up with some of you on here. Banter on here is wicked. Nothing please me more than to see our club successful again. I just can't see it under the stewardship of the looney Italian. Peace.

George I'm not saying that the alternative to Massimo are vultures if he leaves. As long as he leaves on his own accord. I'm saying if he's forced out and wants rid quick that he will clear the shelves on the way out. There will be and have been before other owners. I believe he will want to better the club as a business so he can sell for profit. If he just wanted to strip Leeds he would have stayed in Italy and done all the nasty selling from there why would he came to Leeds and take the flak . If his intentions where to ruin us.

Agree0 Disagree0

Nothing wrong with having an opinion George and your view point is backed up with clear reasoning. Comments such as "Tell me who else will buy the club? " frustrate because unless you operate in the football financial world you cannot answer the question. My answer to such an inane question in the future will be Donald Duck . ask a silly question get silly answer.

Agree0 Disagree0

18 May 2016 10:01:17
George t believe you will find the reason everybody gave survivor a hard time was because he kept writing rumours etc followed by the word fact .
And the fact is none of it ever came true so he pegged down as a bull merchant .
I openly admit to being Essex based (no I do not talk in that stupid accent ) so I don't get any info apart from friends etc connected with clubs around this area.

Agree0 Disagree0

18 May 2016 11:23:40
what silly accent you mean dog, the silly essex accent where everything they say sounds like a question? the biggest insult I ever get is when people mistake my cockney accent for essex it upsets me more than getting jlited at the altar but speedy and wex.

Two words for ya. The first is Mcbadgekisser. The second is transfer.

That's so unfair George. Massive has given us stability and consistency. We're constantly being charged by someone. What could be more stable than being the laughing stock of the league. When other teams talk about new players, we spend our time consistently being embarrassed by our owner and his family. Some people are never happy. I'll save Wex the trouble of replying and say he's a successful businessman. Shame he keeps breaking rules and laws.

George with freinds like you who needs enermies. we know nothing yet other than the FL hate leeds and massimo remeber they just got mugged off as MC was cleared of a chagre a few weeks ago. innocent until proven guilty you should know that george as an expert in law. We know nothing so until he is found guilty all we have is the press getting on at us and people like you also jumping to conclusions twisting the knife in leeds back. Supporters George their is a hint in the name until guitly try doing this.

Also was away over weekend as filming then went to vist family you made a statement along the following MC worse chairman ever. I think you got took down at the time but would like to make a few more points clear.

to be the worse he would have to lose something. Risdale took leeds from european super power to admin which lead to league 1 (they are worse) , the lot who was in charge when reive left took leeds from one of the best teams in world to joke (again far worse) bates was well bates so worse. you need to really stop as you are making yourself look silly and just hating for the sake of hating. please it is so tiresome and slightly poisnes to the atmoshphere in this site IMO.

Bermo

1. Who said I was your or anyone on this site's friend?

2. Ridsdale number 3 on list of worst owners as at least we saw good times under his tenure. He was a crook from the beginning though.

3. Cellino however is not only a fraudster but a lunatic as well. Ridsdale was so adept in the media he was nicknamed Publicity Pete.

4. GFH are the equivalent of cancerous leeches.

5. If you cut me I bleed white. I love Leeds. It's not negativity. It's realism. Cellino is a lunatic owner sending us into oblivion. I'll keep saying it until he's gone. He's bad for Leeds! Real bad.

6. Innocent til proven guilty yes but on any understanding all these charges and problems are stacking up leaving his legal team with quite a mountain to climb. Why can't he just run us with a straight bat? We need stability and certainty especially with the futures of young talent in the air.

Are my views really that insane?

Agree6 Disagree2

17 May 2016 20:30:54
I just love how the FL choose their timing. Apparently they have been investigating this for almost 2 years. They have given Leeds 3 days to respond. Seems fair enough.

17 May 2016 20:39:17
Dragging our name into the mire when was it ever out of the mire we were found guilty of illegal payments to players back in the 1920s we've been known as a dirty Leeds for decades and I'll ask again show me a football club that has not had charges against them. Show me a chairman in football who has not had a court case or tax issue or has broken promises to fans.

Agree3 Disagree1

17 May 2016 20:58:12
George. I think Bermo has a point. i'm not pro Cellino but the negativity is getting a bit strong.
And don't be nasty as we are are all friends, of Leeds United!
Basically i'm not too bothered about a bung, its his treatment of people that pees me off. I.

Agree2 Disagree3

17 May 2016 21:30:36
Don't worry Massimo is on to it and we are being investigated for the Adrien transfer as well. He'd a great businessman! Forget rules and laws who pays attention to them. He's sorting out our debt, Cameron Stewart £500,000 down the drain, Macro, god knows how much that cost. Lucy Ward still to be paid out and Enterprise Insurance wanting to take us to court. Money for Gibbs over £300,000. Just how many cases and trials and tribulations does it take Wex before you can see sense.

Agree3 Disagree2

17 May 2016 22:00:09
The trouble is guys I see sense already I am not saying things are alright I am not saying everything Massimo does is right. I am saying things are better than they were. I'm saying cellino is what we have at the moment. I'm saying other chairmen have broken promises. I'm saying its no good to force an irrational Italian into a corner because if we force him out he will strip us bare before he goes. Best we can hope for is he gets us into a position where he can sell for a profit . I'm saying be real here do you think if we fans or the FA run him out town a fairy godmothers is going to save us. No more vultures are going to be there waiting to pick at our bones.

Agree2 Disagree3

18 May 2016 09:11:48
You keep saying things have improved. Trouble is I cannot see the evidence that you are looking at. The season MC became interested in the club McDermot was bounced around like the ball on the pitch, we slipped to mid table having been just outside the playoffs and have been rooted there ever since. The core of the club staff have been ripped out. The board is full of stooges and Cellino family members, he bought the club at an over inflated price and is trying to recover his money, the club is in massive debt to Elenora Sports and I don't know how that entity is financing the debt, he keeps appointing budget managers and gives them no authority, he talks garbage that some fans want to hear and they keep accepting it and there is no cohesive plan to move the club forward. Yes some players have been sold for decent money, but where has that money gone. How exactly have things improved?

Agree2 Disagree0

17 May 2016 17:00:29
WTF have we been charged with now? Is it too late for the FA to dock enough points to demote us?

Believable2 Unbelievable0

17 May 2016 18:18:15
Paid £185000 to agent, that's OK, problem is he passed money on to McCormacks representative who is not registered. Same thing happened with Southampton and Arsenal, expect big fine.

Trials in Italy, dodgy payments to Agents, he will be lucky to escape another ban at this rate. Who is going to come or stay with all the shenanigans still going on.

Yawn. It's getting boring now.
DG, MC's goes by his own rules I believe. Reminds me of the father in law, he always used to say, 'cheating is only cheating if you get caught'. I wonder how many other dodgy deals MC has done.

Guys how many season ticket holders (about) did we have last season? anyone know?

just like to see what difference the offer will make, think around 1500 new ST holders now and counting but no idea how many ST holders we had last year guess around 10 -12000?.

looks bad about keeper he getting same treatment as sam . given a date to sign by so looks like going to spurs . then cook taylor might go . not good all backroom stuff . get these players signed up for 5yrs.

It's on the OS again about the season ticket offer and if you look at the terms it clearly states 'refund' which by dictionary definition means to give back; especially money, return or repay and not 'discount'. So, it looks like the club will be refunding money in cash after all when (sorry, if) we don't reach the play-offs. Good gesture and hopefully a sign of intent.

MM.

Believable3 Unbelievable0

17 May 2016 11:53:04
MM yep fully agree, a real sign of intent and an idea which no-one else is doing so that either makes Leeds genius trend setters (like Apple) or mad (like Betamax video) . hmmn MC genius? well guess its mad then.

Looking forward to see what comes out (hopefully positive action) from tomorrows board meeting.

Also does anyone know how many season ticket holders we had for last season and what do we think we will get this season with the new offer on table etc.

Was just wondering.

Agree1 Disagree0

17 May 2016 14:54:02
also point of note press all over MC, every little story goes to print, yet nothing about this. see all the negitive stuff, this is why we must get behind the positive and ignore the bad press they are scum bags.

Agree1 Disagree1

17 May 2016 16:45:44
I'm thinking of putting £100 bet on us making the play-offs or promotion next year. That way if I don't win MC will cover the lsot bet when he gives my money back. or I don't win and MC runs off and doesn't give me the "refund".

I wonder what odds I can get on that.
