Football League Statement

Stoopo ........... I've read the statement and I agree to an extent.

Personally i think that without directly linking the case, they're playing for time, so they can be aware of the outcome. Waiting for further information is a smokescreen i'm guessing. But then who knows?

I understand the need for clarity on the outstanding court case. Would seem sensible.

My only observation would be that the authorities haven't demonstrated as much due care and attention in the past so why now? Equally, would we see as much due diligence in the future?

If the case isn't settled next week and given the Italian's penchant for drawn out litigation it would suggest that it won't be, will the FL delay matters further?

It's a here and now situation. English Law is about innocent until proven guilty. Someone somewhere has to draw a line in the sand and get on with it.

Stoopo.It's like when politicians dodge telling the truth.they don't lie as they say...."They are liberal with the truth"...I know what you mean though.

Cagliari fans are getting impatient for you to take Cellino off their hands.

@PhilHayYEP take him! I can't wait any more,after 22 years with him ! You can have your ferrari, we are satisfied with a 500 minus cellino

Extra, no malice intended,

But that's just 1 fans opinion, when Cellino was in jail other fans stood outside the jail chanting his name.

He has for and against fans just like any owner or manager of a football club.

Irrespective of what some may think of him, Cellino looks like a person who's prepared to fight for what he wants and/or what he believes.

Quicker he takes over the quicker the dust settles and we can get on with rebuilding our team and club.

Jonty,

I can see your point, and it's a valid one, but by putting this off, then disguising it shows they're not doing the job properly, but hoping something happens at Cellinos court case that enables them to say no.

This would mean that up to now they have nothing on Cellino....................so the witch hunt has been going for a while.

Some people call that deceit or corruption, exactly the same thing that some say about Cellino.

LeedsLuvr.exactly.

Live, what are they disguising?

They have said they re awaiting extra info from Cellino.

As far as I see it they are saying that they are awaiting Cellino to notify them of the result of his up coming court case.

It is cellinos responsibility to update the fl not the Italian court systems responsibility.

People are always looking for an enemy of Leeds treating us badly but its not the case here, fl doing their job correctly in difficult circumstances that are entirely of gfh and cellinos making.

Cellino has 3 charges of unpaid tax in the pipeline. Two yachts and a 4 x 4. Plus a charge for embezzlement.

If he were passed now, I can imagine there being a hell of a mess to sort out should he be found guilty of the first of those charges next week.

Why anyone would want a crook like Cellino involved with LUFC beats me.

His arrest warrant:

"He has marked criminal tendencies and is capable of using every kind of deception to achieve his ends."

whitedog, I think you're being dishonest mentioning his dishonesty.
