Massimo TOMA thread

[Martyn]

Pure speculation, but the FL seem to be dragging their feet before giving approval for the takeover, and the new chief executive of the FL is Bates' old buddy Shaun Harvey.

Has the old b@stard found another way to put the knife in?

[YorkshireSquare]

You're not suggesting that Mr Harvey would act unprofessionally are you?

[Martyn]

Of course not

It's probably just that he has realised the transfer window is open so, sticking to his old working practices, he has gone on holiday

[Twiggster]

He's actually been working his socks off to approve the TOMA.

[Twiggster]

Well, it appears we're all set and champing at the bit?...Sport Capital

Do we really need yet another statement full of 'news' we already know? I'd rather they said feck all after the initial announcement until they could either announce it as a done deal or dead in the water

[One Bobby Collins]

It is at least official now, to be fair on the club, at least we definitely know Flowers is involved, there has been so much rumour around. To be LESS fair to the club, I suspect that Haigh enjoys certain rumours as it maybe could increase any bidding.

Like I know what the chuff I'm talking about

[hibbi86]

The good thing about this statement is that its very postive, there are no ifs, buts or maybes the opening line says all it needs to say for me

"The club can confirm that the group which will acquire a majority shareholding in Leeds United later this month"

while it is annoying, it does squash any doom and gloom rumours.

Nay lad, we are Leeds fans, we can manufacture doom and gloom rumours by the thousand!

Haigh is trying to buy the club. Why would he want to increase the bidding?

[One Bobby Collins]

Good point, I suppose I mean other bidders - there have been other bids made throughout?

I've not heard of anything.

The way it's always looked to me was that GFH provided the initial cover to ensure that due diligence was performed honourably and Ken had left nothing nasty in the woodshed.

Once this became clear, Haigh stepped in as the leader of the consortium that had always intended to buy the club.

[One Bobby Collins]

There have been bids on the supposed table last summer, I heard. Don't get me wrong, I'm not one of those I T K , I'm just saying what I was told. Forgotten the names though but no doubt they have been mentioned many a time anyway.

Patel tweeted a smiley today, which means something is coming. Hes done that 5 times before, each followed by a positive thing.

[Crude]

Messi then, definitely.
