:00:14. > :00:19.Massimo Cellino is the new owner of Leeds United tonight. Mr Cellino has
:00:20. > :00:27.bought a controlling stake hn the club after winning a legal battle
:00:28. > :00:30.with the Football League. It had earlier ruled he did not medt the

:00:44. > :00:47.businessmen trying to take over the club was told it could go ahead And
:00:48. > :00:53.according to experts not a loment too soon. The club could have gone
:00:54. > :00:57.into administration, the consequences of that could have been
:00:58. > :01:00.unthinkable. There could have been a substantial number of points

:01:37. > :01:39.league said: The man himself is said to be very relieved, with bhg plans
:01:40. > :01:46.for the club and its long`stffering fans. The attitude of the stpporters
:01:47. > :01:49.is that this club needs a m`n who can take them by the scruff of the
:01:50. > :01:54.neck and spend a bit of mondy and help them go forward. We ard all
:01:55. > :02:00.hoping that the two of us got together. And that the club has
:02:01. > :02:06.better times. On a grey day here, an injection of Italian colour? And
:02:07. > :02:10.more importantly cash. It is impossible to say what the new
:02:11. > :02:14.Cellino era will bring, but it is unlikely to be dull.
