Blackpool did not want him so why should we. Rather see a side made up of our youth team prospects next season than these average journeymen.
Byram, Taylor, Mowatt, Cook and Dawson should all be regulars next season along with a top quality CM, CB and keeper

Was a good prospect and would only now be used as a promotional tool to increase USA publicity/revenue. Would be useless as a genuine squad player let alone a starter. I agree would rather see our youth given a go with some well thought out additions

First "spotted at ER" rumour of the summer? have to agree with 1LU to a point- have to give 'kids' a chance but also need 3-4 quality signings (and keep Ross) to push on MOT

Matthew Brown a reporter from Bolton has uncovered evidence that MC has been told he CANNOT buy ER (as Matthew put it) by a nebulous TEAK HOLDINGS!
Anyone else heard this?
Only thing I heard was the price had nearly doubled.

Sorry but can you provide a link because the sale of er came with a buy back clause which currently stands at 15.8 million goes up 3% along with same rent increase each year the thing stopping cellino is ghfc who can block any major investment from cellino

Load of rubbish mate teak holdings can't refuse to sell as they would be breaking a contract with lufc which would open them up to a lawsuit

Probably cheaper to build a new stadium!
Agree0

When we negotiated a deal to remain as tenants at ER until 2029 we also retained an option to repurchase the stadium at any time before that date.
Since 2004 the cost of renting ER rises by 3% each year. The cost of exercising Elland Road’s buy-back clause also rises each October. The current rent paid for Elland Road is £1.4m pa

If Ken Bates owns the ground then it mite be true.Not selling and double the rent would be his way of putting pressure on MC after promising to buy back the ground.
That is when MC will build a new ground and tell him to talk to the super markets.LOL

Your good at knocking rumours but looking at your last 5 comments have NOT contributed ANY posts AT ALL?
Link supplied 6hrs ago but i'm guessing ED vetted the link and it didn't get posted.
I suggest you do a bit of research as I DID give you the reporters name in the post, its not hard to find and i'm ONLY passing on info I was told about by a felow LUFC fanatic ;)

No worries mate let them do a bit of work themselves and find the link, i'm ONLY passing on a rumour a friend told me and getting knocked for it.

Keep up the good work EDs ;)

{Ed013's Note - done mate}
I have read the article the actual quote re buying back ER is "He has moved from I will buy Elland Road back next week to not being allowed to buy it from the nebulous Teak Holdings. " Nothing there saying its Teak Holdings stopping the buy back. The article is worth a read although it doesn't really contain anything new.

My information is the same as Eddiegrays, I have a feeling Milky Bar is right about the GFHc involvement, they have a lot of constraint as to Cellinos investment

Can we have just one season where the talk is all about football? Please? Other clubs can count on that luxury, even when they're in deep financial doo doo. We're put through the off-field ringer every flamin' season and the result always ends up with carp on the pitch.
Just one season of enjoyable football and nowt else. not too much to ask for, is it?

No he has not, he has sold a "share" of club for 10 million euro. More to follow when "Ground" renovations / new build are permitted. That's a tad over 8.4 million pounds.

He has already stated that this sale will have no influence on leeds

He has sold it for 85mill euros. He also said that he wouldn't be investing it ALL in Leeds.

In total it adds upto 62 mil . Its on INTERNET have a look

Hes already said he won't re-invest it in Leeds until he's sorted it all out. We are losing a lot of money daily. I would love for him to pump $62 mill in but it just would not happen in a million years. There's pictures of Jennifer Aniston naked on the INTERNET but it doesn't mean its real?!

Don't think you will see much of it to be honest

Hi Carl
Just seen on news he got £69mill for Calgari but it does have a proviso that the NEW owners get permision to build a new ground, something they would NOT let MC do.

How many left backs does one club need? We've just got rid of Pugh and Drury, neither of whom were really needed; and we have 3 current left backs in Warnock, White & Taylor. Central and wide mid are where the need is urgent; and another strong centre back & striker would not go amiss either. Full back positions are more than adequately covered -don't forget we still have Peltier, who can cover all across the back four / five. Chapel A

We need a new left back. Warnock is to old, White and good enough and Taylor probably isn't ready. We need someone around 25/26 who's decent at this level
