"Please remove your tongue and fingers from MCs ass before you talk/type"...

Do you think he knows they are there?.

Its like little kids looking at adult cloths off movies that think it'll make big boys off them!.

LeedsRich, Elland Road back or Cellino out?..

Answered only when one or the other happens!.

Buying Leeds comes with a huge financial millstone.

You either have the money to buy it all and it doesn't dent your finances.

Or, you but it in hope that you have a idea no one else has had to make it successful.

Rad is all about image rights and Far East. I expect he's a front for Asian money and an attempt to progress Cellino's idea progressing TV deal.

Leeds would just be a vehicle for him to do this in this country.

Unfortunately we're living in very different times to when football was the main topic of interest fir football clubs.

Think anyone would be silly to rule your gut out Jonty as its been right before.

heres hoping hes got a big wod of cash and burning desire to achieve things with LUFC.

If baofeng are involved, you would hope they are hell bent on success.

its hard to get excited about what he/they could be like after being let down/lied to so much.

but the football club should be a better place without MC's toxcitiy.

If he's serious then he will need about £100m to buy the club and fund it to promotion (unless we go up this season). Every season we fail will cost him at least £10m to keep things going and to be competitive.

Then once promoted he will have to throw more money at it to keep us up and get us re-established in the Prem.

Hopefully his business sense travels well into club ownership and he has the serious backing he will need.

Like most I'm happy we are to be rid of MC but aprehensive about AR due to him knowing MC so well and not really knowing much about him. He wouldn't have been my choice but it seems from reports that he's going to be our new owner very soon.

We need to give him a chance and assume he's not a mad, drug taking crook who will sack people on a whim and cost the club millions in losing court cases.

That would be a start

I think either way Jonty, Far East money would have been in the mix somewhere.

And yes we are in different times but it's showing this season that even attempting to run the club correctly (by luck I think) Leeds United are a draw to both fans and TV. It won't take much vision (but it will take balls and money) to get us back eating at the top table.

I see similar comments to when Bates was here, lets get MC out first as if everything then is solved.

We've seen that you can get into a succession or worse and worse owners.

Don't want to tar Rad unfairly, but would not trust any MC connection as far as I could spit them.

He is not independently wealthy enough to take the club forwards.

His experience is not in running football clubs.

Tweeting silly messages when you would expect a professional person to keep quiet until deal is done does not bode well for professionalism in running the club.

If he able to work with a backer who has the money and inclination to invest, of course we have potential, but as with any owner I'd really want to know WHY he bought the club and what his plan is.

I would wager that it's to take a slice of Far east revenue, whether the club sees that is debatable, but please, let's not labour under illusions of owners loving the club because they say MOT, buy someone a pint, or play the guitar.

Agree with the above... about time we had stable ownership, debated many times over the years over owners... very sad that Leeds fans can;t have a convo about our team without talking about owners... still, we are where we are....

I think we just need to wait and see now. It seems he's won the race. Now he needs to get off Twitter and concentrate on the club. LUFC have their own Twitter account!

I'll judge him on how he performs. After Cellino I think most people will be cautious about backing him unconditionally.

Only time will tell. Talk is deal is signed and they are just ironing out a few bits.

I guess this is the reason the FA have held off their punishment of him.

Am told its 50% with the rest if we don't go up, if we go up he wants to stay involved.

So, if we're staying here till next season I hope we don't get in the play off's, a bit off a sod if we stay here and the season tickets don't make on it!..

I'm told full takeover. Paid in stages - but 100% Cellino out.

Hope so.

Who is telling you guys?

Obviously both cannot be accurate.

JLA- both could be right he changes his mind every five minutes,

I'm reporting what I'm hearing through those who say they are in the know on twitter.

I've been assured the deal was done last month and now it's tying up loose ends. I was told it is a 100% staged takeover.

I can't say if it's true or not because I don't know. However I do believe those saying it have links to those who know what is happening.

Think about it. MC is probably going to be banned at some stage in this country. He might even go down in Italy.

If he does stay on I can't see it being any where near 50% for very long.

Hopefully it gets resolved soon and we can look forward to talking about football whilst the new owners sort out the finances and the ground,etc.

It seems to fit in with the last time Cellino's mouth was in overdrive!..

When was the last time Cellino butted into anything around the play ground, he's not been seen or heard from for weeks, something is keeping him quiet!..
