Just wondered which players (if any) would you still be willing to let go? Personally kenny, Wootton, Thompson, Morrison and hunt

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Agree with all of those plus Norris

Agree0 Disagree0

Yes right morison norris hunt but mc likes 2 of them maybe he wants to play cause of the 30ka week for aload of rubbish

Am I right in thinking that Cellino will be picking the teams next season and that Hockaday will be just training the boys? he's not stupid though as he seems to want to sort the defence out first and a young holding midfielder hopefully to marshall it! i'm quite excited by next season its just the coach who so far isn't convincing me. But who knows. Wilko didn't get me going either when 1st appointed! MOT.

I'm assuming your right with MC and the coach, that's the way I read it anyway.
I'm looking forward to the new season with 1 eye, I think top half would be a good start for MC, it's a tough league and players need time to settle :)

Hock will pick team eventually as he gains more power and influence through winning games. The team kinda picks itself though at the moment. We need more recruits. Then the big question will be what formation we going to adopt?

Agree0 Disagree0

George
I'm not in the know but I think MC will buy the players and tell coach who to play, isn't the coaches job to coach the players given to him!

Think that's why BMD sulked then left.

Agree0 Disagree0

I don't understand.wouldnt you sulk if you were a manager and told who to play by the owner.i find it all mad.
now I will be there and support 100% but i'm still extemely worried by what we have in.now the italians could all gel and make us very good.we know nothing about them.when we are linked some people post, great he will be good, . but really we don't have a clue.it appears cheap is the answer to cellino.i mean a man running the team who got sacked from forest green for gods sake.
then we are linked with nile ranger who has spent more time in wormwood than the pitch.
we are 4/1 to be relegated and 20s to be promoted.
i just want us to have a team and have a good go at getting promotion, then money will take care of itself.
people happy with mid table? why.yes happy with midtable with what we have in now but I don't want to be travelling 2 hours to er on a cold tues night in november just to see a load of rubbish who are 15th in table getting walked over by the likes of watford.
people are trying to be positive, we all are new season wise, but sorry I fear the worst.
unless I see at least 3 to 4 players of proven english football still to come in.
these are just my thoughts and opinion and ridicule me no problem but i'm not going to put up with the same shower of crap I endured last year

Agree0 Disagree0

Well put shrews and I'd say most people would agree with your statement.
If it's any worse than last year then WE WILL be going down.
MC in the past has sourced and signed young players, developed them and sold them for millions to make Calgari a viable club. LUFC on the other hand don't need to sell as we have done in the past, we have a far bigger gate receipts and the incentive of the premier league. So IF the fans give massimo the time to source the players
I think we could be in for an interesting 3 or 4 years.
Last of all MC won't tolerate the lack lustre performances we witnessed last year that is a FACT.

Agree0 Disagree0

Yes good point andy,
at least cellino couldn't bear to sit in stand and hear constant moaning and watch a drubbing.
i like how he is and hope he gets it right I really do.
id like to see us splash out 3 to 5 mill of the ross money on a top striker then we may be in with a shout.
who I don't know, i'd like troy deeney but I think he will go to prem.rhodes but he would be too much.not sure who else though

Agree0 Disagree0

Well put Shrew, maybe that is why Cagliari had 30+ managers/coaches in Cellino's time there he cannot see that he maybe a great business man & the type of person we need to take our great club forward, however in my opinion it will never work with the chairman deciding who to buy then expecting a coach to train players he may not have chosen to buy. If we are to get back into the premiership within the 2 years MC stated I fear we will need to buy some proven players, not players that a surplus to requirements at other clubs

Nice article on SS (leedsunited) if its true.

MC says Ross wanted to walk away and was sold to Cardiff in January for £2mill but MC blocked the move.
He said he didn't want to sell him as he was our best player but Ross was making excuses about his wife/kids etc. He wouldn't go on the trip to Italy stating he was feeling sick, so MC told clubs ok you can buy him let's see your £10mill.
MC says it WAS NOT in the budget for leeds to sell Ross but believed his attitude was wrong and his head wanted to go, MC eventually sold him to Fullham for £10.75mill but would have been happier had Ross gone to a premiership club.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Cellino is doing a great job in my opinion so far. if Bates or GFH were in charge when Ross was sold he'd have gone for peanuts and we'd have been bent over yet again

Anyone know of or have seen this Fabrizzio Grillo guy play? We were linked with him before but now he's been released by Sienna (who have gone bankrupt) he's a free agent. I think he's a midfielder but like I say I've never heard of him myself.

Left back I think!

Agree0 Disagree0

Looking at his stats personally I don't think he is good enough for us at LB. Also at 27/28 too old to improve much more than he is already. At that age possibly too old for MC. All LUFC signings are under 25 so far.

Agree0 Disagree0

Yeh I just did a bit of online research not going to break any records what I've read ;(

So. How do I get tickets for bolton game
Living outside england. Can I just go on website and buy them?

{Ed013's Note - You need to be a member mate if its an away game. If its a home game you will be fine to purchase when they are on sale}

Last season I went to Bolton without a ticket & waited for the Leeds coaches to arrive, jumped on 1st coach asking for spare tickets & got lucky. Worth a try Aus
