But again Twiggs 75% of how many fans? The Supporters Trust may well have a lot of members but if 100% didn't vote then just saying 75% doesn't really mean much.Twiggster wrote:

75% of the Trust vote is a lot of LUFC fans.

The best of a bad bunch? And that's what worries me. None of the prospective owners seem good for the clubCrude wrote: As much as Cellino stinks, I think the club as a whole would be much worse off under the likes of Farnan and his mystery group, just a feeling.
In a political election, nowhere near 100% of the electoral listed population actually vote, yet the election votes that are counted, still decide the future.becchio bear wrote:

No,it was the Farnan bid, back in September / October or so. They put in an offer (reported in the press as £7 million, although Farnan has said it was higher) that was rejected by GFH, then GFH granted exclusivity to Haigh's Sport Capital and when that fell through Cellino stepped in. Throughout this, GFH have refused to talk to the Farnan Together Leeds consortium, and I would love to know why that is.
Sorry, you're right - I misunderstood, thought you were talking about the recent round.faaip wrote:

The question beckons.....what business attributes does Lucas have ?Crude wrote: THIS!
Love Lucas, great player, great person. But..... he gets trotted out every now and then, and rumors start about him being involved more at the club in some unspecified role. He seems more a figurehead/pawn of the Farnan bid, hoping that their apparent lack of money will sway GFH and the supporters to that consortium's side. As much as Cellino stinks, I think the club as a whole would be much worse off under the likes of Farnan and his mystery group, just a feeling.
The Trust has well over 10K members. No idea on how many voted, as I previously mentioned - just a massive response to the poll.faaip wrote:

Which goes along with why GFH wouldn't touch them as potential investors. I know this flies in the face of popular opinion, but maybe GFH do have a clue about a thing or two?

Farnan & PearsonFebruary 6 2014 at 4:47 PM theguilfordmonkey (Login theguilfordmonkey)
Farnan is a total fraud. All this bollocks about him being the driving force at the blunts, sunderland, Scum etc is total bollocks. He has been sacked at every club he has ever been involved in.
He is lucky he can pass the fit and proper test himself as in some of the instances of where he has been sacked - deception and misrepresentation were involved. Some of the things I have heard about him in last week are truly shocking and we need to keep this fella as far away from Leeds as possible.
Adam Pearson also involved, he owns Hull FC RL who are absolutely up to their necks in debt - all his doing - he is looking to get involved in this bid as he needs a paid salary as he is going through an expensive divorce....
Leeds together is about these two fuds getting a paid job at our expense, they are not even qualified to run a sports team. Everything Pearson has ever been involved in has failed and ended up in or close to administration and Farnan has been potted in every job he's had in football.
The Italian might be a mad doofus but at least it's his money and he calls the shots, there is flipp all left to steal, strip or sell so not sure why we give a flipp who is owning it at this stage so long as they buy players.
The way the club is set up at the moment we have forward sold all the season ticket money and catering so there is flipp all cash in the business except for the occasional big gate & the TV money which comes in a few batches a year.
