"It is said the contract he agreed with fellow owner Massimo Cellino in December includes a clause giving him the right to complete a 100 per cent takeover when this season ends next month."

If this is the case then surely there is no reason to expect any delay as they've had months to iron everything out, regardless of division we're in.
One hopes it is indeed done quickly, if not, then that is a worry.

If the price is already fixed then it shouldn't be a problem, Cellino was waiting for the Premier pay off which doesn't look to promising at the moment!..
But he has two games of hope left!..

Cellino's track record gives me no confidence that he'll go quickly and quietly, but we can hope!
Protracted ownership negotiations will only cause more upheaval and uncertainty.

Radz said he has an option to purchase the other 50%. If that is the case then he holds the power to buy out Cellino, and there would be nothing Cellino could do if Rad decides to exercise his option.
Let's hope that's sooner rather than later..

..... and let's hope Radz has the money or backing to exercise it AND it being an 'option' he elects to exercise it.

TBH guys I think cellino is going other wise why would Ivan bravo one of radrizzani' s team be appointed at Leeds in whatever capacity, don't forget cellino wanted to keep his own team at board level....ok if another one of radz team is appointed to the board then deffo radz will be in charge, if he then subsequently gets in another investor then he could be looking to promotion asap....doesn't the creditor payback option finish soon ?

Been talking maybe, but was that in an official capacity, like it is now ?

I don't read anything into the appointment. Shares are owned 50/50, now the directors are 3 for each owner. Could be simply something as evening it up

Afternoon all.
Has it been a police razzia at Newcastle and West Ham this morning?
