I hope we keep BM. Results have been dreadful (and would be a sacking almost anywhere) but I think he can do a job for us next term assuming everything off-pitch is stable.

Leicester City is mathematically promoted now. Grats to them, Nugent looks like a good player somehow now.

Danny graham, marlon king and heidar helguson have all done well for Watford in the championship and moved to premier league sides for a few million each lol.

Ebanks-Blake scoring about 30 goals one season and then scoring one or two after promotion with wolves is another good one.

quote:

Massimo Cellino will officially buy 75% of Leeds United after winning his appeal against the Football League.

The Cagliari President had originally been rejected under the terms of the Fit and Proper Person test due to a conviction for tax evasion in Italy, but won his appeal today.

This is because the Italian legal system doesn’t consider a conviction to be formalised until it has gone through all three levels of appeal and Cellino’s case is still at the first.

“Eleonora Sport take a 75% stakeholding in the club while former majority shareholders GFH Capital and investors will retain 25%,” read a statement on the Leeds United website.

“Completion of the acquisition will see Massimo Cellino take up the position as President of Leeds United, and he will head up a new-look board.”

Among the changes, current managing director David Haigh will become the new Chief Executive Officer.

I'd imagine their squad will need a pretty big overhaul to compete in the Premier League. They're owned by a Thai billionaire so I guess much will depend on how they invest.

Looking at the track record of Southeast Asian owners in in Premier League thusfar uh....

But I think they could do alright. The current owner has shown a good amount of patience with Pearson, hasn't been a caricature like Tan or Fernandes and seems pretty willing to contribute to sensible purchases. Plus there's some decent players in now.

On the other hand David Nugent

Leicester are going to be giving out free crisps and points for the rest of the season.

Bournemouth are on a great run atm. They'll deserve it if they go up.

We basically have no players left. We're playing Luke Young at CB even though has hasn't played all season, and Will Keane is the worst striker since, I don't even know who. I don't remember anyone less effective in the last twenty years.

One of the bookmakers had the fourth most likely player to score as Kevin Doyle, who is out for the rest of the season and has gone back to Wolves. And, well, they are probably still correct.
