Manure to win Cup
« on: March 21, 2014, 14:32:52 PM »
After their 3-0 thrashing of that other top side we now have talk of them actually winning the Champions League Cup. Unbelievable isn't it. We will have England winning the World Cup at this rate. I wonder what the odds of a double on that is   :)

Also it was hardly a thrashing! Olymp could have/ should have scored at least 3 themselves.

Yea I can't wait to see it. Will see how great Rooney really is as it looks like RVP will be out injured.
What's the news on your Leeds team takeover. Is it still going to happen?

I think Lou Macari got it right when he said "with the other teams one or two stars could have an off day and who knows but with Bayern they are a real team and play like a machine so it doesn't matter if one or two have an off day"
However being a Mancunian - stranger things have happened like Rochdale winning division 2 which I predicted 6 months ago :-)

Dave - we await the great Football League to make up another rule especially for Leeds, get all the other teams to vote in favour of it and, in short, keep us in the Football League for a further 10 years.

You know it make sense for them. Biggest away following in the country and biggest home gate for most of the teams we play.

Seriously though - they do seam to be looking for a way to prevent Elanora Sports and Mr Cellino from buying the club. Its unprecendented how long it's taken so far. The FL have even heard presentations  from other prospective buyers who have tried their hardest to stop the takeover because GFH (the current owners) will not talk to them (they have in fact exchange contracts with Elanora and cannot sell to anyone else unless the deal fails).

Whether we actually want a man who has just been found guilty of avoiding paying 400,000 euros VAT on his boat is another question. Personally I would rather him than that odious man who owns Blackpool - who received a six year jail sentence for rape yet is still regarded suitable to be a director of a Football League club.

However all is not lost. It seems the FL are taking their time because they must be struggling to fail Elanora. If they were not then surely they would have failed them by now?

The soap opera that is Leeds United. Never a day goes past without something happening!

The Football League today moved to quell growing concern at the continued delay in reaching a decision on the proposed takeover of Leeds United by Eleonora Sports.  League spokesman Lee D. Shater confirmed in a brief statement that “it is envisaged a decision can be reached sometime in the present glacial period”.  The prediction, which nails down the potential notification date to sometime in the next 5.7 million years, would seem to fly in the face of letters from Leeds United Football Club to the Football League, requesting that the matter be concluded by last Thursday. Mr Shater was dismissive of this request, stating that it was “unfeasible”. The League would, he said, stick by its 5.7 million year timescale – though he did add that the effects of global warming could potentially stretch this out to as much as 8.9 million years.

The reaction at Elland Road was philosophical.  ”We didn’t really expect to hear by last Thursday,” a source advised Life, Leeds United, the Universe & Everything. “We were just hoping to apply a little subtle pressure with a view to hearing some positive news, perhaps by the end of the century”. The proposed timescale of “sometime within this geothermal epoch” has caused some scratching of heads at the club, where officials confirm that all paperwork has been submitted and that everything should be in place for an announcement at any time.

The latest from the League is that part of the delay has been down to their desire to recruit a new non-executive member of the Football League board, who would be envisaged to have some vital input into the decision-making process. One surprise name in the frame is that of Birmingham City owner Carson Yeung.  The fact that Yeung is currently in jail in China is not seen as an obstacle to his involvement in the Cellino case.  ”Carson is still the owner of Birmingham City, and we feel that his particular experience will prove vital in determining the suitability of Massimo Cellino to be the owner of one of the Football League family of clubs,” said Mr Shater, shredding a file marked “Documents requested from Leeds”.  A prominent sports lawyer later confirmed that Yeung’s criminal record could be of positive relevance in the Leeds case. “After all, it takes a thief to catch a thief”, he winked cheekily.
