We already knew this I think the press is scare mongering

Won't he just have to pay the tax, iff found guilty and it will be end of, or is it not as simple as that?

Smells of bates lap dog, prove this, and that etc keep moving the goalposts .new song for saturday let's ALL GO IN ADMIN, let's ALL GO IN ADMIN,

In answer to poster 3. No paying 400,000 or millions won't make any difference IF he is found guilty. Guilty is the key to fit and proper due to his past convictions. sorry, but it is all FL NEED TO SHAFT US. MOT

If he gets found guilty(and that is still an if guys) then it ain't he leagues fault, the FL don't control the Italian courts to be fair.

I agree the FL have paid more attention to our take over than normal so we are not treated the same but I'm guessing they knew about the case coming up as nothing happens fast in Italy law so they waiting to see if guilty. If I was Massimo I would stall the date for some legal reason which would force the FL to say if hey are waiting for this court case or not. I hope he makes it for all our Leeds, fans sakes, if T/O doesn't happen it will be a sh** storm for us.

This isn't the fault of the FL. GFH have created this situation by doing business with a shady business man. Now there could be massive disappointment, because Cellino's cash and passion would have been welcome.

Football league have a history of bad decisions and that is why they employed Harvey the creeper.The lunatics have now truly taken over the asylum but I reckon that they will regret taking on our boy Cellino.Good luck to him for he is the kind of man we need to fight fire with fire.But he does need our support otherwise they will get what they want and have penalised again.

9.) 05 Mar 2014
The FL have received final two documents requested from GFH which are being scrutinised by legal department. Positive announcement expected Friday 7th March at the latest. Fingers crossed everybody please. MOT

"I wish he could just pay the bill and all will go away. this takeover needs to happen."

So you judge him to be guilty without any right of appeal? What if he hasn't actually done anything wrong, as he claims?

The takeover seems to be hinged on GFH share dealing, not Cellino's problems?

If Cellino does pay this money he is admitting he is guilty, and that WILL prevent the takeover happening, so let's hope he doesn't end up having to do this.

Can the FA even do this? surely they have to respond within a set date? According to wpedia, even a fraud charge would not deem him unsuitable

I hate all these conspiracy theories that the FA hate us and want us to fail, they don't. There is a reason that we are under a lot of scrutany whenever a takeover occurs and that is due to dodgy dealings and massive failings from the past, Ridsdale and Bates being the worst. The FA can't let Cellino takeover while there is a court case for tax evasion against his name. It is one of the big no-no's on there fit and proper chairman test so they can't ignore it.

14.) 06 Mar 2014
One thing for certain this court case will not be resolved on the 18th or the next date it is adjourned too, leeds MP has been told by the FA they want to sort this T/O sooner rather than later (possible BS from the FA to keep leeds MP off there backs). Any how we can only wait and see nothing else we can do really.

Cellino, who has a 2001 conviction for false accounting and is under investigation for alleged misuse of public funds relating to work on Cagliari's Quartu Sant'Elena stadium, is accused of illegally evading paying €400,000 import duty on the yacht, which was seized in Cagliari in 2010.

If you were the FL how could you let him go ahead and buy Leeds

16.) 06 Mar 2014
Because the first conviction is spent so cannot be considered and the others are not proven, so unless they are proven the FL cannot object to the take over based on these issues!
They might object because he wears sunglasses when the sun isn't shining!

Surely that's enough isn't it? Just look at the mess Cardiff are in!
