I'm with ISR here, he has been the best thing that has happened to this club in a long time

It included details of outstanding cleaning bills, security bills & included 15% of salary payments to players agrredcwith the FA & PFA - excluding Ramon Nunez. This in part illustrates how deeply in the number 2s financially when Cellino took over. Some have very short memories - I'm satisfied he has stabilised the club and secured our financial future, which was detrimentally impacted by the almost corrupted practices of Bates, GFH ably assisted by the chairman of the football league.
He also had the bottle, to pull out of a farcical sale to LFU who capital comprised of £500k cash and highly leveraged loans that would have made ridsdales funding look prudent.
Cellinos time is coming to an end, it is time for him to move on. However, fact, he is the only owner since silver who has put his own money in ... I thank him for that, and I thank him for appearing to have sold to an owner who will respect the clubs values, not the highest bidder like all the previous incumbents would. I only wish some who despise Cellino had a similar degree of anger towards the real villains who occupied the hot seats @ Elland road. Leighton, North, Krasner, Richmond, Bates, Harvey, Haigh, Patel and the other Arabs.

I am not suggesting for one minute the guys made money out of the initiative. However their primary source of funding with the exception of the £500k; and let's say another £5m that could have been raised from the fans, was to come from high net worths / funds which were to get a handsome return on their money once the club returned to the Premiership. That 'return' imho would have lead to a serious lack of funding once in the Premiership, that would have resulted in our return to the championship.Another Northern Soul wrote:Same back at you, ISR.isrodger wrote:I wasn't havining a pop at you pai ... your a top man.

However, that bit in bold is a serious allegation, unless I'm misinterpreting it, I've not heard of anyone gaining any money or interest out of the funds raised which are in escrow AFAIK. Need some explanation as to that comment please and I'll be following it up with questions to those involved.
Take it to PM, I'm not after a public war but there have been enough inaccuracies from the club under him without us getting stuff wrong
Definitely not me, only because of his previous 'trigger happy' ways though. It doesn't matter to me who on here said what about Monk, I know some were very dubious about his potential to do well while others were pleased. I think we ALL said or possibly thought that if a decent coach was given a fairer crack of the whip so to speak, and I exclude Hockaday and Evans there, then the chances were higher. It is no coincidence that the club has done better since the owner, now the co-owner, has not tried to meddle, though something was definitely awry in that respect last Sunday!LAsouthcoast wrote:I think you are right saying you can`t tell the future ANS, who would have thought we would have been a top six side this season with Cellino still at the club.
