Phil Hay Had a very brief response from Cellino who says Viviani deal is off. Won't be joining Leeds. #lufc. Looks like move on to the next target but Cellino needs to show some action or we'll struggle with what we have. Their not good enough, end of

What a waste of 9 days that was.

Very disappointed that we have lost out on Viviani, but hey ho, if he doesn't want to come, then so be it. I've just registered so I can have my say on Cellino, The Hock etc before todays game. Whatever happens in the next few weeks, I believe in MC we finally have someone who cares about the club. OK, he's a colourful character who sometimes speaks before thinking, but don't us yorkshiremen like blunt talking? Well the blunt facts about him, Ross, the Hock are that Ross would have gone in January (for 2/3 million)without the intervention of MC (just see the Ross interview in the last few hours of the transfer window - basically a 'come and get me' plea -we would have been relegated if he had gone, so we have MC to thank for that. I have every confidence that MC will do his best, or what he thinks is the best for us. In many ways, the Hock is an irrelevance (agreed a bizarre one), because he will be soon gone if the team don't perform - though I do agree his presence probably does not help in attracting decent players. Anyway, despite all this, I think we have more reason to be optimistic than for many a long day - it seems a long time since 57, 892 of us were crammed in in 1967 for the FA cup replay!

{Ed013's Note - If he wasn't fully committed or taking the club for a ride then its the best thing for all that he has gone}

yet another deal off eight players turned leeds down this week why is it mc or the fact a nobody coach who would sign he's not a big name in fact he's not even a small name he's a nobody yes we all want to see top of league winning ever game but why is nobody signing no name coach

If he doesn't believe in LUFC or is in two minds about joining we don't need him and gg to MC for having a pair, to stand up to mercenaries who make demands thinking they are bigger than the club. Far too long have we knelt down in front of so called stars just for them not to preform but still collected their wage.

Viviani could well have been a top championship midfielder but no body is bigger than the club

MOT

For me we need 4 more 'quality players' to get us by, but I just can't see us getting them before the start of the season! Most concerning is the fact we aren't even been linked never mind making a bid for a Ross McCormack replacement!

Another false dawn, but if I was an Italian U21 midfielder after watching Hockaday in charge at Mansfield I wouldn't want to join either

I believe if we had a decent head coach in charge, when I say decent I mean a "name" someone recognisable to player and fans alike as a reason to be optimistic for future, I don't care whether he be Italian English or whatever nationality, I honestly believe we'd attract better quality players to Leeds. If MC wants the prem in two years he needs to start showing intent now, decent coaches and decent squad to get us up

I agree Thommo, think this is M C, s biggest mistake .
Is it me or in the photo of D H looking around the goalpost on sky why am I thinking of lord of the rings my precious.

Who are the 8 who have turned us down?
