Don't want to be the bringer of bad news but it's reported that Massimo will be getting a fine plus 18 month ban from football for the McFlytipper bung case! You can count on the FA to want to screw us over with the team doing so well at the moment. The only shred of comfort we have is that this was in the Daily Fail so can be taken with a pinch of salt but the whole story is getting momentum and TTGM brigade are all over it. Sorry to p*ss on your chips Wex but this could be the end for Cellino. I hope not but we all know by now that the FA (and Harvey) won't rest until he is out of Leeds. MM.

What I don't get is that we going to be fined £250000 but arsenal commit similar and only get a £60000 fine! Why? Oh yeah because we are leeds and everything is worse for us because everyone hates leeds. Hypocrites the lot of them.

I'd say they will probably execute him at half time on FA cup final day.

I'm annoyed about the fine, but don't mind MC being banned for a few months. We seem to do best when he keeps a low profile.

Massimo fully intends to defend himself through a tribunal so we haven't heard the last of this one. MC was quoted as saying, about the FA "We shall defend our club, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the pitch, we shall fight in the changing rooms, we shall fight in the car park and in the streets, we shall fight in the championship; we shall never surrender. " Good man Massimo!

This is an 18 month ban so someone has to run the club, hopefully the takeover will be done by February when this kicks in. You asked where the TTGM crew were Wex, think you'll hear them coming out of the woodwork now.

So here's something to consider. at the start of the season MC made his play off promise to us all. on the back of this you would saythat he would have to invest in the team to achieve this. Arguably he has done so in the summer. so to keep the momentum going and to make sure we compete come the end of season I would also say that we would need investment in the squad in January. I can't help but wonder that if this proposed sale of 50% of the ownership or whatever it is doesn't come off then we are not going to have the funds to invest. would it be accurate to say MC is relying on this sale so we can do business in Jan or am I just been pessimistic?

Pessimist mate. Plain and simple.

Think massimo looking for investment but not about players. Buying ER back and improving it is a must for PL I think. This must be on his mind who knows what clauses are in buyback contract. Also new guy, if it goes through, has a lot of international media business which will be big plus.

Not seen much of Zac Clough but the games I have seen he was non existent, must be the potential as there seems to be interest in him again including us!
