Interesting he could be a director .....

I would not be surprised if the Cellino lawyers are not looking at one point here. They presented a case on evidence available at the time. The FL then assessed/ considered his application on that evidence and evidence gleaned a fortnight later (give or take a day or two).

They have not been able to discuss the court result in the process so far yet the panel have been able to use it. If Cellino appeals his sentence he is regarded as innocent under the law in Italy.

I reckon there could be grounds for having this decision overturned on legal grounds.



Worth a crack if nowt else.

Furthermore had he been convicted already at the original panel meeting their application would have been fundamentally different.

Eleanor Sport would have been the proposed buyers with Cellino probably not mentioned as forcefully.

'I surmise that there are vested interests within the FL panel, presumably linked to associates who hope to buy into LUFC on the cheap - and who consequently want Cellino out of the way. This is only a guess, and I think we'll never find out.'

On tonights result you all need to get rid of this Cellino fetish and let your team play football and Brian McDermott to start managing again. since this Cellino escapade started you have been really playing like s h1te.

Stoopo,

The yacht was owned via a company. Whilst he may be personally liable for the debt I'm not sure it's clear that it wasn't owed through the company.

Either way, I personally think you're clutching at straws to try and justify Cellino's suitability. But fair play for putting up a coherent argument.

The tax Cellino failed to pay was on a personal level, not a business level, the two are not the same.

Anyone can correct me if I'm wrong but, doesn't the FL laws and rules refer to businesses, not personal, could it also be why the owner convicted of rape is still the owner of a football club.

I hope Cellinos lawyers put all the right evidence forward and make all the right statements and references, as well as ask the right questions.

Warwick, I agree, I mentioned something similar on a previous post, someone has under the table interests, like Bates not losing the rent on ER, or Harvey not getting his cut any more, etc etc.

I disagree though that Cellino has lost all credibility, it was a personal "failure to pay tax on Nellie" not a business venture.

If the application was put in late, and someone mentioned Haigh did that, could be he is playing both ends of the field at same time, then jumps ship onto the other boat, which is inevitable will sink eventually..

I think we are in a spot of bother

So much clutching. Too few straws.

Luvr,

If you're not posting under the influence of drugs, maybe you should get some prescribed.

Funniest, yet most accurate posting, this season.
