It can take up to 15 workin days people :(,, sources Phil hay

No according to SURVIVOR. He claims it will be announced next week (good guess work). He's ITK lol!

We have waited over 10 years for this, another 2 weeks won't kill us.

Did anyone see the episode of south park, when Cartman freezes himself to pass the time waiting for a new nintendo?. well if anyone needs me i'll b in the freezer!

10 working days for the paperwork to be put in and the FL then normally take 5 working days, the paperwork is just a list of question that you have to answer they look at it to see if they think what you have put is correct and take it from there

The 15 days includes 10 days to submit paperwork. Therefore IF we have now submitted all the correct paperwork it should be no longer than 5 working days, albeit the answer given at that point may not be definitive, it could be a request to submit more paperwork

Yes and Harvey and co will make sure it does take maximum days aswell mate . Mot

Acording to newsnow, it could take until the 5th of march for the league to give cellino's takeover the green light

What does it matter this season is over anyway. We simply don't have the quality to make the play-offs. Roll on next season MOT

Shaun Harvey foot dragging out of spite. Bates lap dog.

How much is cellino and his family worth in hearing millions, others say billions,, anyone actually no?

News flash


It's all happening today.
FL will announce next week Massimo has passed the fit and proper rule.
We are on the way back to the Champions League.
The manager might change and so will the players but the fans will still be the fans and Leeds will be a much better team.
Mark these words.

Champions league steady on don't run before you can walk, need to get promoted first, could take 4yrs

I hope you're right (you often are).
Lets hope MC keeps his word about buying back EL and TA. Here's to an active Summer transfer window with no loanees!

MOT

Sorry to burst your bubble, BUT, There is no way on gods earth LUFC will play in Champions league in mine and your lifetime. I doubt very much even promotion to Premiership. The guy simply does not have sufficient wealth to fund either in a serious way.

Fingers crossed. Massive change needed as we are light years away on current showing.

Calm down mate! Champions league? let's get out of the championship first!

So its all happening today? You then say the fa will be announcing it next week. Which is it today or next week or maybe you don't have a clue.

To the last poster. Do you really know what your talking about, I think not. Either your m farnen or you talk out of your bum mate, cellino is worth more then any owner we have had before, but its his family buying leeds and together they are worth well over a billion pounds and that's not including what they earn from other investments

"There is no way on gods earth LUFC will play in Champions league in mine and your lifetime."

Happy little soul aren't you.

You are obviously a very, very, very old person then, unlike the rest of us.

The Cellini's are multi billionaires mate, don't be so ridiculous. Cellino wants a team to own in the prem. He clearly sees Leeds as the goldmine it is and is taking the reigns. We are a massive club and unlike Saints, Swansea etc once we go up we will do as Newcastle did and compete for Europe IMO.

Let's not rush or build our hopes up for a quick fix. Let's take it steady and do it right. That's one of the reasons why we ended up in a mess for the last 10+ years. I'm all for the PL and all that goes with it, but steady as she goes please.

Really can see us promoted in next 2 to 3years dispite being an alleged multi billionaire on 22 years he has failed to take calgiari to regular champions league football in 22 years he has admittedly spend 78million pound on players but has also sold 96 million pounds worth of players fact he runs calgiari as a selling club who says he won't with us

Cagliari have no stadium (yes technically we don't) and attendances of 6k
They have no large fan base or commercial potential
We however have potentially everything
He has run their club very well to keep them in Serie A consistently without the turnover of a big club and credit must be given for that
I'm sure if he had got their stadium sorted he would have invested further

I would say some years ago. think wimbledon. punched way above their weight for several seasons. that's the comparison I would make with cagliari. mc has done an amazing job keeping that team in serie a. and no way have fan attendances and merchandise revenue kept the club going. he knows with lufc back in premiership any player on the planet would only be sidelined from signing for lufc by maybe 5 or 6 other clubs in europe. he knows he is buying a good apple. and I like how he has said he will purchase er and ta and invest in the academy. just hope he throws some money bmacs way then we can judge. I would like to dream for a while, and picture in 3 years time milan barca and madrid playing rainy nights in yorkshire?

His quote saying not enough money has been invested in players and also more quality less quantity has sold me
That is everything we have been lacking summed up in one sentence

Talk is cheap. Actions speak louder than words as they say. So, the family are "Billionaires", how many "Billionaires" were on the board of QPR?. There are a host of clubs with very wealthy backers ( owners ) some are achieving some not. Money garentees little, only that probably the day to day bills are paid. Oh and just in case you forget, FFP applies, so an owner cannot simply throw money at a club. 8 million overspend can mean 60 million sanction. Good Luck.

£60 mill sanction?
Unless you do what man city done and write £50 off to your parent club as a loan ;)

THINK ITS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE look at wet spam and QPR 2 clubs with average gates and spending silly money.

But they have either recently been promoted or relegated from premiership, therefore have effectively have a 60 million pot to play with.

Yep, price of failure = more money than the whole Leeds set up would cost you.

How fair is that then.

Massimo is in Leeds tomorrow.
The work to restore Leeds pride has begun.
His whole team are coming with him.

I hope so leeds fan for over40 years marching on together

Would he not wait to hear if he has league approval before he sets about buying back elland road, bringing new players on loan or deciding on macdermotts future and I can't see any anouncement from the league before this time next week at the earliest. I hope he gets the green light, I really do. But nothing would surprise me when it comes to the league where leeds are involved, they'd change the rules if it ment f**king leefs up

Does this mean that he has passed the FL test? any news on how it's gone?

Would that include a certain property transaction?

. I really hope so

12 Feb 2014 14:42:16
When you say he's bringing his team in what do you mean? Do you mean squad players from cagliari or team members for the board/coaching etc



FA92

When are the FL due to announce if Massimo has passed the owners test, doesn't look like it's going to happen today does it?

Come on Survivor give us some more for a change.
How did the meeting with the FL go? is MC proceeding to buy the sacred ground back as promised?

12 Feb 2014 15:22:41
Time for mc dermott to go he's useless. Its zola for me MOT

What! He is bringing Cagliari too!

SURVIVOR
HIS WHOLE TEAM is that him and uncle festa lol

The league won't put any announcement out today or tomorow or friday, in fact we may not hear anything from them for another two to three weeks. If its a no it may have been this week, but if its a yes to cellino they will wait till the loan window closes, they don't want us anywhere nearr the play offs. They hate us and always have done

Yeh let's bring Zola in a few good results then when things turn bad do a runner like he did at Watford?

AMAZING comment

Things have got to change, BMD has got to go, he is clueless, how can you play McCormack as a lone striker against two centre backs who tower over him, and then play hoofball up to him? And then there's the signings he's made! Kebe was the worst player on the pitch last night ( and there was a few ) our worst player we have ever signed was fortunately back at Hull ( Stewart ) then there's over the hill Hunt, Murphy! Well say no more, Wooton, and Zaliukas??? WHO and Smith who is an o.k league one player, our best game of the season came when BMD was sacked!, Speaks Volumes, one of the worst managers we have ever had, Warnock had a better record than him. So why is he still here??? WHY? Mr Nice Guys don't win football matches.

What a load of tosh above poster. You clearly have no clue at all. Best manager we've had for years, just needs some money to work with, lucky for you he won' t be here long after takeover. MOT with BMD!

Hopefully we can get him in and get a few emegency loan players, but who would suit us most?
