See looks like Cellino going to be banned from running Leeds, their boardroom is a bigger mess than ours

I didn't think it was possible?


In other news I see Agombar Sr has been in court with claims of finding funding re: hereford.

He's banned till March 2015, seems very pointless.

That's alright he will appeal it wont be heard until next year then he will have x time to get it sorted and he will only need to resign for 1 day - thought if he fails though that was it, but he will appoint a 'freind' and continue to run it behind the scenes

Quite so, just like Agombar at Hereford.

What's he actually done wrong?

WTF is the point of banning him for 4 months? kick the fucker out of England and football altogether.

Cellino: Rape, murder, arson, and rape.

The FA: You said rape twice.

Cellino: I like rape.

Serial convicted fraudster ... and general fruitcake. But it's the criminal convictions that get the ban

See extract from the first para of the doc available at the link below but copied out here as well:

"On 18 March 2014, a court in Cagliari, Italy, issued a judgment in criminal
proceedings brought by the Public Prosecutor of Cagliari (no. 7354/12).  The court
declared Mr Massimo Cellino guilty beyond reasonable doubt of the crime of
evasion of import tax payable in respect of a boat.........."

Given Cellino's conviction for tax evasion, rest of the doc describes the basis for the football league's decision to disqualify him "from holding office or acting as a relevant person". Final para is interesting re the FL looking at whether Cellino and/or LUFC have withheld info - don't know what the penalties are if found but all looks rather ominous. Question is, does Cellino continue to bankroll the club behind the scenes whilst he serves his disqualification. They're stuffed if he gives it up as a lost cause.

Not board related, but what a cunt.

That's a ten from Len!

Don't know what the fuss is all about to be honest, who hasn't been a bit careless with the tax when importing a boat.

I had a boat once....and certainly didn't pay any tax on it.

With all due respect to your boat Reg which I'm sure was very nice, but I'm guessing it was perhaps a slightly less grand affair than Cellino's. In fact I'd venture so far as to suggest your boat as a whole wasn't worth a fraction of the £300k tax due on Cellino's luxury yacht. Even if you threw in the oars :)

My boat cost me £12 ....decent money before Harold Wilson devalued the pound. I was thinking mooring fee avoidance  :)

twas the fucking Kon-Tiki, must have been worth more than 12 quid

I bet it made your bath nights more fun, Reg. 

More like the Ark!

We had the board game in the 70s!

Wasn't the Kon-Tiki made of balsa wood and skippered by a fella called Thor?  Imagine being stuck in the middle of the Pacific with him...suppose you could have chopped up bits of the boat and made model spitfires though.

Thor Heyerdahl. Mad bloke. Sailed across the Pacific just to prove a theory.

No you are thinking of Leif Erikson :D .

Was he the chap who was trying to prove Polynesians and South Americans were capable of contacting each other?

I remember him being a bit of an eccentric.

That's the fella
