Leeds fans not happy :lol:

"David "COCKMUNCHER" Haigh (born 17 July 1977) is a British businessman and a clueless sports executive, currently Deputy Chief Executive of Gulf Finance House's subsidiary GFH Capital, an Islamic TMT investment bank based in Dubai, and Chief Executive of Leeds United Football Club. Haigh is suspected of being a witch and a "son of a bitch", after an interview with Massimo Cellino confirmed he was in fact satan. [1]"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Haigh



@kohulme This isn't a joke. I've received a letter and an email from David Haigh's legal team.
Now obviously I can't disclose what the letter says but sorry lads I'm complying. Easy for you lot to say "fight/publish it" but £££!
On the one hand - and the only silver lining - I'm sure this is a rite of passage for journalists!
Replied to Mr Haigh's legal team. Told them I'd be more than happy to set the record straight via an interview with David Haigh.
The offending article has temporarily been taken down from @The_False_Nine whilst the paragraph in question is removed.
"wrote an article about Leeds. Haigh's legal team weren't happy. Got a letter from them"
Haigh can even pick whatever questions he wants. I just feel it's important the silence is broken and fans are no longer kept in the dark.
Willing to "seek aggravated damages". That's how our MD treats loyal fans, ladies and gentlemen. #lufc
Just had a very helpful phone call about this situation and what my next move should be.
Now obviously, I'm not going to "leak" the email, I don't want to aggravate the situation.


So the Managing Director is suing their fanzines....

Brian is receiving abusive and threatening phone calls from Leeds fans. I think he is slowly realising that it is a world away from being manager of nice and cosy little old Reading. Welcome to "big club world".

Feel sorry for Bri.

Just can't see an end to all this for Leeds really unless someone with some actual money comes in and is allowed to stabilise the club. They are unfortunately for them a classic speculative investment which is bound to attract the shysters given the potential of the club.

Not sure administration is going to solve anything for anyone especially when someone's ready to come in and take over but for a tax dodge on a yacht which seems nit picky to me. Trouble is outside of their own fanbase everyone else including the FA & FL dislikes them because they're a bandit club. McD needs to wave goodbye to that lot.

This yacht tax dodge is his third conviction for financial dodgy dealing, with other cases pending, so prob not the FA being a bit nit picky to be fair :roll:

Ah fair dinkum, didn't know there was a string of misdemeanours being considered. So basically Cellino's bought something he's not allowed to own, crickey what a mess they're in.

another nice pay-off coming up for Brian. He'll find another job, definitely. Chairman won't see him as having failed at either Reading or Leeds, but has been sacked through other circumstances

Cellino has been warming up for the dismissal by firing his 36th manager in the 22 years he's owned Cagliari.

No surprise I guess but how the hell do you go through the finincial holocaust Leeds did and still end up thinking being £30M in debt again is running a football club properly?

This gets better and better!

The Italian con man gets clearance to take over Leeds, THE NEXT DAY secret cameras are found in the Boardroom and even in the exec loo's after Cellino orders a "security sweep" LOL!!

W
T
F
??

Leeds MD then resigns ( but 2 things are 'unconnected') and West Yorkshires finest are called in to investigate 'theft' as no-one knows who put the cameras in or who paid for them!!

This is the story that never stops giving.

:D

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Cellino had the cameras put in himself so he could spy on Haigh and GFH when he wasn't there.

No they don't. Too many things out of their hands. Same as Blackburn.
