Leeds NEW owner fails owner test

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

Typical stuff on the LUFCTalk website. One poster said that they are too big a club to stay out of the premier league for long.

They must be the largest club in Leeds surely?

Having been convicted of tax evasion it became easy for the FA to reject him, not sure they have actually grown some balls.

When were they relegated from the PL - must be at least 10 years now.

To fail the fit and proper person test takes some doing,

Agree, I thought the test was "Are you a fit and proper person, please tick one box only".

Hope they don't go into admin with a 10-point deduction - they already have enough points to cope with that because the bottom 4 teams are so hopeless.

Losing Wickham is a bad blow for them, though.

Wouldn't they lose more for being serial offenders? This would be the third time, would it not?

Ken Bates anybody?

Would be hilarious if he did go back!

According to one Leeds forum goon it's because the other owners don't want Leeds in the Premier League!

It takes a special kind of mind to think that way. And even more special to actually post it for all to see.

If there's one club that epitomises the 'Northern Idiot' its Leeds Utd fans

They probably don't, just not for the reasons they'd think.

Given the option, does anyone really want them in the Championship?

Davies sacked, Leeds up the swanny...this is a great start to the week!

Corrected you slightly.

Never mind the Prem, it's 8 years since they finished in a play-off place in the Championship.

Credit where credit's due. Well done the FL. Now just hold your ground on FFP, and you'll win me over.

Just read the 'History' bit on the official Leeds website. You can almost see the clenched teeth when they describe losing the League One play-off final to Doncaster in 2008, in front of '50,000 Leeds fans'

Bring back Peter Ridsdale!!!

It's being reported that Celino has successfully won his appeal against the FL's decision.
