What a twat.

That article actually gives a pretty good account of his financial dealings with the club, it's worth a read.

we've signed a one direction member as a player today

Dubious signing, but even if he never pans out, he'll make up for it in shirt sales IMO.

Joey Barton is starting for QPR which I think clearly makes Harry Redknapp the comedy king of the Championship

I'll just re-iterate for a lot of the buffoons tweeting me. I WILL NOT BE PLAYING IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP NEXT SEASON. Hope that clears that up!

Apparently our chairman literally got hit by a bus on his way to Ipswich today. I bet it was that dastardly Mick McCarthy trying to demoralise the opposition

C'mon, you now that's Uncle Ken's handiwork.

Rafa is going to sign him, if the rumors in Italy are correct.

Wikipedia brought up all of 2 people. The first just gave control of the club to his son and the second was Craig Whyte

That guy that bought Racing Santander and then destroyed them failed the test when he tried to buy Blackburn, before Venky's took over.

That'll be the norm when Cellino takes over.

Cellino was convicted of tax evasion in Italy this week, which obviously is a hit to his chances of passing the fit and proper test.

It'll be interesting to see what happens if he gets turned down, he's apparently pumped a lot of money into Leeds in the past couple of months, and there are rumors that if he doesn't take over the club they'll have to pay him back within 6 months at a sharp interest rate.

Cellino failed the fit and proper test, and won't be allowed to take over Leeds. He can still appeal though.

Cellino has reportedly won his appeal and will be allowed to take over Leeds.

It's happening, etc.

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.

The new owner of Leeds United, Massimo Cellino, has called in the police after finding secret spy cameras at Elland Road. In a sensational twist to the convoluted takeover saga at Leeds, West Yorkshire Police have launched a theft investigation, which sources say relates to club funds used to install secret cameras. Police sources have confirmed the investigation surrounds the discovery of hidden cameras.

After news of the police investigation broke, Leeds managing director David Haigh resigned with immediate effect. A spokesman said his resignation was nothing to do with the police investigation.

That game was pretty entertaining really, high intensity throughout.
