Seems together Leeds consortium are trying to get an interest in Leeds. This is mike farnans lot. They are particular interesing in that fans should own some part of Leeds
Not sure farnans got the money or a real fan. But it never stopped Cellino as he's put nowt in except more debt

Don, I'd heard about Red Bull and the books this week, when did you hear about the Cellino/25% thing?

Don knows someone at the club.
Probably heard it from them.
Don is a solid source of info

Red Bull nett worth 5,3 billion. Leeds Utd 7million.
Do the maths.
They spend/lose more in a GP1 race than we are worth, and allegedly they walk away.

So - they do DD and walk away. Why? Surely with their wealth they can see how this club could be massive. Drop in the ocean for them to clear the decks and get us moving upwards.
Then we hear they actually don't want to invest because MC wants to remain in control with a 25% stake.
Rumours rumours eh?
He's vulnerable at the moment due to the ban looming - so expect more of these rumours during the silly season.

Also heard there's an outfit from Qatar interested but they are worried that the fans would be upset if they ousted Cellino as they think he's popular with the fans.i certainly could think there could be some mileage in the story that he's looking to sell some of the club and wants to stay in charge as I think that's the nature of the man, I don't hear as much as I used to and only post if I hear something that might be of interest. For what it's worth I'm neither for him or against him and the guys I speak to who played for Leeds think it's a shambles off the pitch but the football is going in the right direction I tend to agree but feel off field is having a negative effect on the football side.

I heard from a good contact that E Sports have sunk £45m into the club so the price will be in excess of that.
Also tranfers are on for January as well as an announcement about the kit.
The only way I can see him going is if he gets totally peed off with the FL hassle and the money is right.

There is also a rumour that GFH want £33m for their shares, including the debt?

I believe it worked out at 11m for their shares, and 22m for the debt. Nobody knows if this was money lent, which I don't see, or it's fees for consultation work.

"...an announcement about the kit."
Also heard that from a good contact!

It looks as if Leeds have missed out on Farnan, he has decided to go for Birmingham City. For those of you who think Farnan hasn't got money, you must be daft or completely cut off from the outside world. You don't get an estate in Cheshire, villa with 7 acres near Marbella, a beach club and a restaurant by the harbour in Marbella if you're skint. Has good contacts in football as well.
