Glasgow Loon Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 (edited) Yesterday was a big improvement on our previous outings at ER, when we actually played for the whole 90 mins instead of just one half. There wasnt a failure in the team and ok Huddersfield were the poorest side we have played in the 4 home games so far.One of my pals who was at his 1st game of the season was so amazed by the way Lewis Cook ran the show and i had to agree with him as we celebrated after the game with a few pints.If this keeps up its going to be hard to pick a MOM.My only complaint is that Byram should have been on for Berardi 5-10 mins before his 2nd yellow card as their left winger had him on toast.Berardi knew he couldnt touch him and let him go 2 or 3 times so to me Redfearn should have hooked him before the 2nd yellow card came.As for Chris Foy for being a premier league ref he was shocking. The decision in the 2nd half when he gave a bye kick and the kop all roared and he then gave the corner summed up his performance.

I'd agree re Byram, I think their intention was to get him on as he'd warmed up and was stripped ready come on at the point Berardi was given the red card. The bench left it just too late for my money. Re Lewis Cook best young Leeds player I've seen at Elland Road in a long time.

Glasgow Loon Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Article from the Guardian:Massimo Cellino’s reign as Leeds United owner is under serious threat after an Italian judge ruled he set up a “bogus corporate screen” as part of a “Machiavellian simulation” deliberately to evade paying import tax on a yacht in 2012, meaning the Football League could bar the Italian from controlling the club.The former Cagliari owner took control of Leeds in April this year through his company Eleonora Sport after an independent QC overturned an original decision to block him buying the Championship side because there was insufficient evidence that he acted “dishonestly” when failing to pay nearly €390,000 import duty on his private boat, the Nélie.However, the full written ruling on the case – seen by the Guardian – states that there was “no doubt as to the existence of an elusive intent on the part of [Cellino]”. Sandra Lepore, the Sardinian judge who handed Cellino a first-grade criminal conviction in March, reported in a six-page document that the businessman used a United States company called Freetime Miami LLC in order to buy the yacht and avoid paying import duty on it in Italy.Cellino’s position as Leeds owner could therefore be in jeopardy as the Football League’s owners’ and directors’ test disqualifies individuals who “have unspent convictions for offences of dishonesty”. Commonly known as the fit and proper persons test, the League has these rules in place to prohibit individuals with unspent convictions for dishonesty offences from being directors, 30% owners or from exercising control of clubs.The League has yet to obtain the full written reasons in the Nélie case from judge Lepore but, given it initially blocked Cellino’s original attempt to buy Leeds earlier in the year, it could move to bar him from ownership once more, even though the Italian has appealed against the original, first-grade conviction in Sardinia.Judge Lepore rejected the argument by Cellino that his approximated €1,850,000 vessel was covered by the European Union’s temporary importation procedure when it was searched by authorities in Cagliari in 2012. That rule allows for non-EU flagged yachts used by non-EU residents to be brought into European waters for up to 18 months without being subject to customs duties or VAT.Cellino also argued that he had been prevented from having the Nélie sailed back to the US because of technical problems, which he was in the process of having repaired. However, judge Lepore described these claims as “completely unproven”.She wrote: “There can therefore be no doubt as to the existence of an elusive intent on the part of [Cellino], as it must be held that the evasion of the import VAT was the result of a Machiavellian simulation, put in place by the aforementioned [Cellino], in order to disguise a definitive admission [of the yacht] as a temporary admission.”Regarding the registration of the Nélie by the Florida-based company Freetime Miami LLC, Lepore added that it “leads us to believe, beyond any reasonable doubt, that the real owner of the Nélie yacht is Massimo Cellino himself and that Freetime Miami LLC is nothing but a bogus corporate screen formed in an ad hoc manner in order to allow [him], the effective user of the asset, to bring into EU territory a means of transport as part of a temporary importation procedure, thus eluding the payment owed in import duty”.Giovanni Cocco, Cellino’s lawyer in Italy, strongly attacked Lepore’s report: “That document is unpresentable. It is full to the brim of errors of merit and of law. It does not take into account what emerged in the trial: that is to say, that nothing implicates Cellino. I have already … lodged an appeal and have also completely demolished the [judge’s] reasoning.”Cellino is also accused of evading import duty on assets in two other cases with hearings scheduled for next month in Cagliari. One concerns a Land Rover and the other another, smaller, yacht, named Lucky 23. He denies the charges.Cellino has maintained his innocence throughout the Nélie case and has appealed against the original first grade conviction. Under Italian law, which allows for repeated appeals, it is not considered a definitive conviction. One issue of contention is whether Cellino is officially a resident of Cagliari or Miami.The new Leeds head coach, Darko Milanic, was officially unveiled by the club on Wednesday but the club’s future has once again been cast in doubt. The Football League chief executive, Shaun Harvey, previously chief executive at Leeds under Ken Bates, said earlier this month that the yacht case was still a “cloud hanging over” Cellino and the League, adding: “It’s exceptionally disappointing that we haven’t actually had the judgment.”Judge Lepore completed her report at the end of July. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasgow Loon Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 From the YEP:- Darko Milanic says Adryan is ready for a Leeds United debut and firmly in his thoughts ahead of tomorrow’s Yorkshire derby against Sheffield Wednesday. The club’s head coach moved to clarify Adryan’s position after the Brazilian midfielder was omitted again from United’s goalless draw with Reading Milanic left him out of his 18-man squad on Wednesday night having also overlooked Adryan for Saturday’s 2-0 defeat at Brentford, the Slovenian’s first game in charge. The on-loan Flamengo playmaker has not appeared for United’s first team since joining the club towards the end of the summer transfer window and Leeds have limited him to outings with their development squad. Recent reports claimed that Adryan’s senior debut was being delayed by “bureaucratic issues” surrounding his transfer from Brazil, though Leeds insist the 20-year-old has been registered and available for the past month. The issues with paperwork are understood to relate to an agreement which will allow United to sign Adryan on a permanent basis for around £3m next summer – issues which have now been resolved – but speaking last week, owner Massimo Cellino told the YEP: “I’m waiting for a letter from Flamengo but it doesn’t stop him playing. Adryan can play.” Staff at Thorp Arch took the view last month that Adryan needed time to settle and adapt to English football before playing in the Championship. Caretaker Neil Redfearn named him on the bench three times during his spell in temporary charge but opted not to blood the midfielder. Milanic, however, watched Adryan in an Under-21 match between Leeds and Queens Park Rangers at Thorp Arch on Monday and hinted that he would include him in the squad for tomorrow’s clash with Sheffield Wednesday. “He played on Monday with the Under-21 team in their championship and he did very well,” Milanic said. “That means he’s ready. “He played well, I saw him for the first time and I’ll think about him.” United were hindered by a lack of creativity on Wednesday, forcing Reading goalkeeper Adam Federici into a solitary save during a goalless evening at Elland Road. Leeds suffered from the same weakness away to Brentford and they will come up against the tightest defence in the Championship during their meeting with Sheffield Wednesday. Stuart Gray’s side drew 1-1 with Ipswich Town on Tuesday and have conceded only seven league goals since the start of the season, though their reputation was chequered by a 7-0 thrashing by Manchester City in round three of the Capital One Cup. Gray was in the crowd at Elland Road on Wednesday as Leeds and Reading contested an uneventful stalemate. Milanic stressed the need to secure his first win as head coach this weekend, saying: “It’s extremely important. But I know that it will be a different game tomorrow. “Sheffield Wednesday play differently and I don’t think it will be easy. “They have one day more to regenerate than us but we have to do our best.” Milanic made two changes to his staring line-up in midweek, bringing Casper Sloth into the side and unexpectedly replacing Stephen Warnock with Liam Cooper at left-back. “I want to keep all of the players ready,” Milanic said. “I played with Cooper because there was an extremely good player there, (Nick) Blackman. “We played with a diamond and I went with Sloth because he is there between the lines. “He can make the life of the opponents difficult but we didn’t do that enough. I expected us to create more chances.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
