Jeff, if you meet Mr Cellino can you ask him if he will issue shares to the fans. Tranmere issued 2million at £1 each. We should be able to get about 10 million with our fan base. Would like to know what others thhink of this Ed, maybe a poll in favour or not. Also can you suggest if he buys the ground, that he gets ridd of the boxes in the south stand. I've always hated them and remember the superb atmosphere before they there.

I'm a qualified radio journalist (out of work) and if I were to have a meeting with the club President about setting up a radio station I'd record it, Mr Samuels.I'd upload it to one of the various capture sites and get myself some free publicity. Got a feeling that I wouldn't need to ask questions, just hit record!

Thank god for Massimo imo. Who else would do what he's doing to keep our club afloat. Crazy he maybe but he's becomming a real godsend, bought back the season ticket money this week & is restructuring the whole club. Lufc will never be the same again but can be rebuilt in MCs hands & I for one am prepared to be patient.
GFH should be getting invoices for 25% of all bills paid which they prob won't pay until Massimo takes their shares off them hopefully.
I believe he will make us more investable & one day he will be able to reap his rewards & make a profit on his outlay so it's in his best interest to get us to PL asap. Massimo #believe MOT

Well said Sir. If it weren't for MC we would still be being fleeced and led into Administration by GFH who are a total disgrace. MOT

Agree0 Disagree0

If GFH did pay 25% of the bills they'd only borrow the money off someone else. That way they'd only have to repay 25% of that loan too.

what about bring Giggs in as player coach and Ferdinand as assistant player coach, whilst we have a fresh owner let's start from scratch and build a promotion winning side, Giggs and Ferdinand would attract some decent players; let the revolution begin.

Erm. nar

Havin a laugh, don't want them kind here

Agree0 Disagree0

Wah yer mouthout son. Give yer head a shake also!

Agree0 Disagree0

Very blinkered guys, you obviously weren't around when Strachan was here. I don't care who is here as long as the club becomes successful again, maybe you want to keep BmcD and continue in the lower half of the Championship, no kids around the world are wearing Leeds shirts anymore our fane base is reducing by the year. give yer own head a shake lad.

Agree0 Disagree0

A couple of 80 year olds from Salford. Just what we need .

Agree0 Disagree0

ED think this deserves a months ban lol

Agree0 Disagree0

Oh dear, what an amusing suggestion! Giggs wouldn't go anywhere near Leeds after the abuse he has had in the past}

Can't believe what I read, is OP for real?

Agree0 Disagree0

Why not get Scholes, the Neville brothers and Alan Smith while you are at it - errr, no thanks

Agree0 Disagree0

And let's start playing in red, not!

Tim Sherwood! Are you mad. No track record at all. Just because he shouts from dug out & slags players to Hacks, don't be daft.
We know MC wants a coach & therefore no manager will come here to let an owner buy players etc. It would have to be a foriegn coach imo. Think MC just wants BmcD to go without a pay off then bring an Italian in, prob an ex coach from Calgliary. I just want to see some new exciting faces coming in soon

59% win record in premier league. We are first hand experience that being a dinosaur in this league counts for nothing. I would rather have a manager who has a good chance in premier league in the future (sherwood) rather than a no hoper in McDermott. He would never cut it in premier league just like his signings

Agree0 Disagree0

13 May 2014 13:42:35
Let's face it, no matter what you think of McDermott, the only reason he is still at the club is due to the pay-off he'd receive if he was sacked. If he was out of contract he wouldn't be getting another one.

I'm sure that MC would allow him to leave for nothing and not look for compensation, which may make him an attractive proposition to some clubs.

Anyone else wonder when Brian told MC he had lined up a deal for Griggs MC jumped at it because he thought he'd said Giggs!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Who is this Griggs?

Agree0 Disagree0

Think he meant Greggs

Tim sherwood has been sacked, would be great for us, passionate and a winner! Get him in now massimo!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

McDermott's passionate and a winner. Do you really think Sherwood would have done any better with last season's chaos? I doubt it. McDermott actually has a very good record if you remove the period when the club ownership and debt was causing chaos.

Also, I can't see the manager being sacked right now. Cellino's trying to cut costs not increase them.

A better idea might be to get behind our current manager and show some support. Just a thought.

Agree0 Disagree0

You can say what you want about the chaos, buy look at his tactics, signungs, subs in games, he is clueless, I teally hope the wba rumours are true and he goes, I go to, every home and away game, so my support is 100% to leeds! Just want mcd out and take hunt with him!

Whilst I understand that it was an uphill struggle with the financial and ownership issues, BMD should have taken control on the training ground, dressing room and on the pitch- he didn't and his poor explanations for the multiple losses were as weak as his constant inability to shape and motivate the team or indeed respond when required in a timely fashion! Playing individuals out of position added to the teams frustrations, sticking to random formations tested my patience! I was not picking the team and I was not coaching them but I certainly supported them and was as frustrated as every fan in the ground. Whilst he remains then I hope he can turn things around following a period of stability but I just don't think he has what it takes! Just my opinion!

Agree0 Disagree0

McDermott is definitely not passionate and based on his signings he is certainly not a winner. Sherwood is the man for the leeds. He is a manager who clearly gives it his all and makes his players give it their all. 59% win record for Tottenham is the best they have ever had in the prem. McDermott has done a much worse job than warnock. His style of the play is just as bad if not worse than warnock's. give sherwood a go

Agree0 Disagree0

Hes passionate alright, about READING . Never stops going on about them . he's like an old pro boxer going on and on about the time he had a good fight but then went on to do feck all else . You can't be passionate if you stand and watch your team lose 6-0 to pretty poor local rivals, but just put your hands in your pockets and shrug.

Agree0 Disagree0

Can't agree with any of you and as for the 'go to every game argument' that's cheap. For the record, I've been going since 1970, it doesn't make my opinion any more important. You say it like it gives your argument credibility. It doesn't.

The signings are not that bad when taken in context. Not one of McDermott's first choices were signed, they were all compromises apart from Murphy, who I think will be a very good player in time and with the right players around him.

As for Sherwood, he has no real credibility in this league or as a proper club manager. I think in any case that he'd be very unlikely to come to Leeds even if Cellino was prepared to meet the cost of appointing him and paying McDermott's contract. I could be wrong but I reckon anyone who really believes we'll end up with Sherwood is more than a little deluded.

The bottom line is this though. It doesn't matter what I, or any of you think. Cellino will make the decision and supporting McDermott, if he stays, will better serve the team than futile debate about the merits of Tim Sherwood.

Agree0 Disagree0

Well said Axeman, spot on

Agree0 Disagree0

Well said axeman, thinking about it Gareth what has Sherwood won as a manager?

Good Afternoon fellow Leeds Fans, below is a list of realistic players that are all free transfers in the summer and would just like to see who out of the list people would like to see at ER next season if any.

GK K.Westwood, J.Speroni, M.Bunn, L.Fabianski

DF M.Wilson, M.Keane, J.Heitinga, P.Senderos, J.Parr,
A.Traore

MF S.Larson, K.Commons, J.Colback, D.Gosling, E.Frimpong,
P.Whittingham, M.Albrighton, S.Sidwell

ST J.Mason, C.Akpom, G.Samara, Obefemi Martins

For me it would be Speroni, Bunn, Senderos or Heitinga, Wilson, Parr, Commons, Whittingham, Sidwell and Mason or Martins

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Some good players there. I've said for years od love Peter Wittingham at Leeds.

Seb Larrsson would be great but i'd doubt thays realstic. Also think Samaras or Commons would tear this league apart.

Agree0 Disagree0

Agree some good players, but Speroni is wanted by. Four Italian who seek him: Fiorentina, Torino, Sampdoria and Sassuolo, while in England, Leicester City and Sunderland are also interested. MOT

Agree0 Disagree0

Just a quick question what about Rio F back to leeds for a couple of seasons even though I think he will probably go to USA for a easy life and a good pay out
