Just seen on another website that it's 25 year ago to the day that Strachan signed from that minor club on the other side of the Pennines.
Thank you Fergie and he was definitely not past it like you thought.

PS, 3-0 to LU tomorrow and all thanks to another legend for motivating the troops, all rise for Sir Vincent.

Announcement - ed013 to buy leeds in a fresh takeover bid. I've just see this in a crystal ball while visiting a fortune teller.

Ed013, have you brought a euro millions ticket?

P.S. If your looking for a chairman or md. I'm your man.

{Ed013's Note - Once I have a whip round in the White Hart tomorrow I will submit my offer and whoever can buy me the best socks can be Chairman}

Anyone interested in contacting the FL (politely) here is a link

Hope this is ok Ed? maybe if we bombard them electronically in sheer numbers it would give them an idea of how many in number we are.

ed should there be a desicion today?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed013's Note - No, the FL can take as long as they like}

Cheers

Agree0 Disagree0

Whilst ED013 is correct they can take as long as they like but they did say 10 days from last Thursday. They knew Court Case was coming so if that was going to make a difference they should have put a proviso to that 10 day.
The way they have dealt with it i.e the statement they made it is reasonable to expect an answer by Sunday.
They will surely make some sort of statement or even more people will begin to suspect their motives.
Just a thought, perhaps Cellino's team convinced the FL he would be found not guilty!

Agree0 Disagree0

Perhaps in future there needs to be a time scale. It would need to be slightly variable to allow for time to receive info from sellers/buyers. There needs to be a time restriction of some sort. It is not right that clubs can be left in limbo indefinitely whilst the FL makes its mind up!

Being as it's all gloom and doom on here at the moment I thought I would reminisce. Vincent Jones returns to ER tomorrow for what I'm sure in his own words will be "emotional". Here is a guy who has proved where hard work and a will to win gets you. Not one of the world's most gifted players by his own admission but certainly one of the most respected. In his younger days he used to walk to training (Wealdstone) the night before and sleep in a hedge. He said much better players than him never made the grade as they all smoked and drank too much. He finished up with a second division championship medal and international caps for Wales and then completely re-invented himself as an A list movie star. Last seen at ER belting out 'Marching on Together' to a packed Geldered End (or kop for you young 'uns) at Chief's testimonial. The shirt he wore in his playing days had the sponsor 'Top Man'. quite apt don't you think?

Take a bow Vinnie and enjoy you're day, you deserve it!

This may not be right but I think the fa should think long and hardand give cellino the green light the man will save our club with out a doubt the fa dhould look at the clubs that have or going down the pan he may have broken the law or not but if he is not allowed we will be another one of the teams that could get a buyer that has not been in trouble but could not be the right choice football fans need cellino he will make us stable look at Birmingham Coventry Portsmouth give the man the chance for the good of football after all he is not a murderer if you don't agree because of a of morality you the fa will be guilty of stopping a great club of your country which have helped the fa evolve of not being able to get in to a better financial position please think of mistakes the fa have made don't be driven by a moral decision that will not be the right one

Simon Austin reporting that the league executive hasn't finished his report yet. This could run and run. Doubt we will hear within the next 2 weeks now. Next league meeting not until April.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

They said decision within TEN days, that's due this Sunday 23/3/14 I reckon!. They have nothing to gain by further delays and if there is going to be furher delay I think they would make a statement saying so to avoid any possible legal backlash by GFH.

Agree0 Disagree0

"anticipates being able to reach a conclusion" is not a cast iron statement that there will be an announcement within 10 days

Agree0 Disagree0

It seems that the main reason for the hold up in the FL deciding is that Shaun Harvey has been on a jaunt to Malaysia, also Farnan and Flowers intense lobbying of the FL causing us problems. Shouldn't they be barred from such contributions as they clearly have a vested financial interest in MC's bid failing, or is it a case of friends in high places.
Personally I do not want an ex man utd employee running our club. Also I have no doubt he is connected to Jacob Adler, our landlord and one of the main reasons why we are haemorrhaging cash at £1m a week and can't compete for players with the likes of udders.

The pathetically named leeds together would only leave us in the same position in a few years

I read yesterday that GFH sent a letter to the Football league in the morning asking for a resolution on the takeover by the end of the same day.

How can anyone send a letter on day and expect it to even arrive at its destination on the same day? Last time I sent anyone a letter it took at least 3 days.

so BMD going to let Vinny do team talk tomorrow. what do we pay him for. the bloke is a joke. obviously motivation not in his vocabulary. please leave your not upto the job

Mr T.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Mar 2014 13:12:42
hes trying to pick up the spirit of the team that's very down right now . stop moaning

Agree0 Disagree0

Hey Mr T. Why you slagging him off[again] . Getting someone who has been there, and done it, and knows what it takes to perform at Elland Rd is a bloody good piece of management, and should applauded, not mocked.

Agree0 Disagree0

If he can get some fight in them I dnt know what will. Wld love to see us play dirty tomorrow. Plenty of hard and some late tackles.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Mar 2014 20:05:21
I have to agree with Mr T on this one. It is the managers job to motivate the players and if he needs someone to help him do that what does that say about him? much as I admire Vinny we should not have to rely on him to motivate this emotionless bunch.

Agree0 Disagree0

20 Mar 2014 23:10:48
Is it just me, or are we waiting for the same FL to give approval to Cellino, that also approved GFH! What the hell does the FL's approval count for with this in mind?

GFH passed because they had funds available, they have assets aswell and no convictions .if GFH wanted they could easily make money available for the club but they see it has a waste of cash with it losing 1mil a month
