It is being reported that Eleonora sport now own 75% Leeds United, meaning Massimo Cellino is free to do what he wants with Leeds. It seems that the first thing he has done is remove MD David Haigh, despite it being written into the contract that Haigh would become CEO. Cellino is supposed to attend the Watford game tonight.
News has also come out today that Leeds United have made a loss of £9.5m, which would put us under threat from Financial Fair play rules. It could result in us suffering a transfer embargo next January. Leeds’ total debt in the 2012-13 accounts is recorded as £22m. Cellino has made a big commitment, he paid more than we’re worth and also took over the debt so good luck to him.

Glad Cellino is in. Mixed feelings about DH leaving, if anyone has done some thing good for Leeds in the past 10 years, he is the man! Good luck to both.
DH is a slimy self serving scumbag Bluesman. He was playing every possible angle for his own interests. Amazing how a little bit of PR spin works wonders with some. MOT
Totally agree…..will make a Politian as he plays all sides to suit himself.
He has had his wack out of us, you can’t trust a true blue Tory, lying, two danced twats the lot of them, just like old man Bates.
Don’t be so silly Keith– a true blue tory, good job it wasn’t a true red Labour otherwise our debt would be twice as big and we would have sold all our assets at rock bottom price, and in between invaded Manchester, bombed hell out of them then blamed someone else. Hope the new guy is ruthless and gets rid of all the rubbish and dead wood that we’ve accrued over the past 10 years. A new start.

dick****
Suppose he could of bankrupted us imported 20 cheap polish players n took us into2 wars that ad nowt to do with us but the again he’s a Tory not a communist Labour loving fool
Silly bitch
Excuse me, I am a lifelong Tory and a lifelong Leeds supporter. Don’t insult me, and don’t insult our wonderful club by introducing hate-politics
I disagree, I think DH has been a bit of a charlatan. Telling us fans what we want to hear and at the same time having no idea how to run a football club.
Good luck to Cellino, hope we don’t through as many managers as Cagliari yet somehow think my wish won’t come true

Bollocks haigh glad to see the back of him weldone massimo now for the rest of the shit .
David haigh has done good things for leeds?!,are you stupid?.the guy is an absolute snake he’s got more faces than a game of guess who
Sorry Adam. Did not mean to offend anyone, but he did get rid of fart face.
All torys are snakes he like bates was bleeding us dry just like his tory party are bleeding this country dry hope will be shut of all of them soon
He is lower than a snake and in fact can run under a snakes belly without ducking !
wearing a top hat!
ERPR BS you need to say what you think mate. Having said that ou are spot on!
at the minute give me a crooked italian ? who is willing to pay our dept ,and let him take us back were we belong maybe my old mates might start going back to matches and i might see a good Leeds UTD before i die
It’s interesting that negative press briefing appear as DH gets the sack. I wonder where they come from 😉
Welcome Massimo . . . Looking forward to the ride. For the first time in a lomg while I feel excited 🙂
Cant wait for next season. leeds on level peggin with every one else from the start .and we have got rid of any trace of that dirty sneaky chelsea b#s###d ken bates
Massimo couldn’t be any worse than the clowns that have run our club in the past.He is willing to take on our debt and buy back Elland Rd and Thorpe Arch ,so I say get behind him and enjoy the sail
Listening to the game n good help us n cellinio because we’re terrible no plan no tactics management of the team is terrible r leading goalscorer is being played in midfield? A player that couldn’t score in a brothel on pay day ( 25k) a week get that fool McDermott out of the club he’s a complete joke he is willfully destroying the carears of our youth, inept clueless dishonest and much more spin than haigh he should of stuck the 50 euros up is arse
Get rid of mcdermott b4 we r relegated
i think what he will do is bring some top players that are capable of standing there own in the premier devision but will be willing to drop a devision. and suround them with young talent that are already there. because the reason the players arnt playing is because they know if leeds were to go up they would all lose ther jobs because they arnt good enouth for the next step i mean how can they be in dept. surley they dont get payed for playing crap good luck massimo.
140% rise in directors wages and called himself a lifelong fan load of bollocks good riddance
It’s about time we faced reality mc d just keeps blaming every body but himself and we can only go so far saying give hom time. He must know by now he is on thin ice and some like me think he is on borrowed time
Long live LEEDS UNITED
