The team I play for finished 2nd bottom in mid Sussex div 6, our manager has stepped down after 28years in charge, he's brought us up to mid Sussex div 2, and won 2 cups, then relegated up down to div 8.

This is the type of guy Cellino goes for
So u never know fellow whites I could be putting on that shiny white shirt next season and bring us promotion again.

I know George it's a terrible situation to be in. That's why we need a good solid manager that can bring players into the club. I hate McClaren, but he did have Derby playing good football before they got shot of him. As for his time at Newcastle, I think he was manager of a team that just didn't have the heart to win, which in its self is a bad sign I suppose. But even though I hate him, I think he would make a difference to our club. I don't even believe I saying that.

Anyway On and upwards I hope.

I believe Big Mac is outdated and poor. If we are to replace Evans with someone superior the names we ought to be considering are Flores Pearson and Adkins. Problem is Cellino wants precisely what Notts advertised above. Imo if the situation festers too much longer it could irritate Leeds fans into violence. Even the most placid and passive of fans have had enough. I can see riots when we get turned over at home by Burton Albion and go bottom of the league. I wonder if the Rhinos flagging fortunes this season are a forbearance?

Agree5 Disagree1

25 May 2016 11:36:25
Might be right george but violence with who. They going to beat each other up, smash the stadium up, attack the players? Will it get rid of cellino? no. It will mean we play our home games behind closed doors or at Oakwell which would help our cause no end. 99% of fans want cellino to go but duh no one wants to buy us. Usually enjoy reading your posts as you do have pertinent points to make but when u come out with drivel like that really dissapointing. Is your hate that much to turn you neanderthal. There are plenty of ways to protest choose another.

Merely make the point our patience at breaking point wouldn't surprise me if things turned ugly. As for with whom, how about rival fans who will take the mickey out of us constantly? Am sure you'll recall away matches at Birmingham and Bournemouth. Imo it's not drivel. If Cellino keeps this up the whole club and fans could implode. Accident waiting to happen. Is my view really that nuts?

right I am fimling tomorrow then off to spain for few days hopefully when I am home things are sorted and all the negitivy is gone.

will leave with my fianl tought (like jerry srpinger) now not defending all that mc has done far from it but


MC brought a club certain of admin and relegation to league one (the points plus that dteam would of gone down) so he brought a club with no money going to league one, now we are a club with little kmoney in championship, that is an improvement. when in league one with no money will are still no worse off tthan when he took over so still reallyt no time to moan, when in legaue to mc havs took us backwards and not before. and until then i'm grateful


finally people say aim for prem top six and should we accpect medirocity. yes I think we shouldat the moment that is where we are. Mc brought a poor team and now we are a slightly less poor team if that is our lot then so be it, some teams are good some teams are bad some teams are mediocore, why should we not be mediocore at the moment, why should we demand more when that is what we were when mc got us?

i love leeds I want us to do well but don't think we will and don't think we were well before mc took over, anyone who doesn't take us backwards is ok with me if that is our lot


gfinally finally MM when I was last in spain leeds didn't lose a game I would put money we do not lose again while I am in spain it is a lucky place for leeds.

You said to George yesterday that under Cellino o we have not gone into league 1. Well before he came we were in the play off places. We have not moved forwards and as Notts stated there were other buyers, Cellino jumped greadily to front position made an offer without doing DD. Which makes him an idiot. His actions since have proved he's a complete madman. Time to stop defending him. It's bordering on lunacy.

BW, you say "why should we not be mediocre at the moment" but the definition of moment is a very short period of time.
This is what I'm trying to get at we've been mediocre for the last five years.
I said earlier I am really worried now where my team is going.
I WAS a Cellino supporter until he told us that he wished he had never bought us and that he wants to sell the club. (Which I totally understand by the way) but if his heart isn't in it now, how can we hope to improve, when we weren't doing that well when he loved us!

when mc took over he had to pay wages to stop admin before he took over. we were s""t team of journey men with no depth we were going admin and going down. at the very least MC has brought us two more year of championship football. I am happy to be a happy loony rather than manic depressive.

I love my really rubbish, going no where but down team. I expect the worse and i'm happy with it any thing better than that is a bonus. if this makes me crazy so be it, happy days.

and agree Aggro give me old fashioned cheer on the men regardless fans. maybe it is a south london thing. you see at millwall the fans expect nothing and are happy with it. maybe it is this that has rubbed off. I see my mates and family cheer on a team that are, always have been and always will be rubbish. one season in top flight and one fa cup final where they got took apart. yet they still show blind loyalty and faith and love for this team expecting nothing.

not saying they are better men than some on here, not saying they are right, but I am saying I see myself as one of these men. leeds have them as well, sadly leeds also have other fans they type millwall don't have as no one at wall expects anything.

maybe this is what happens when a south londoner supports a nothern team. you get this mix of northern passion with south london blind faith and loyal support what ever the weather

this aside I try and be cheery.

Agree 100% it is a disgrace to treat Steve Evans who seems a decent and respectful guy in this way. if he has decided to replace him then for gods sake tell him. Having meetings and making approaches to other managers is bang out of order. Will always follow Leeds but this bloke is seriously testing my loyalty at times, I agree he has done a lot to clear debts and put us back on a even keel, but so let's himself down and makes us a laughing stock by acting in ways that almost bring the club into disrepute by the way he treats people.

Wake up dude. We are not in their class. Their owners upgraded. We are about to downgrade and degrade! Furthermore, their owners were a little unhappy with results so they made changes.

BW we are neither Manchester United or City, WE ARE LEEDS UNITED, you can talk down this merry go round of a circus that has become unfortunately the norm for what our club has become. This is why so many Leeds fans are so pi55ed off, excuse after excuse, repeated empty promises.

Why should I be lucky to have Leeds United still operating as a club, that's rubbish, it wasn't me or other Leeds fans who are responsible for our current situation and demise over the last 12 years. It's been greedy profiteering owners which the FL has failed to protect from.

Cellino, this summer is his chance to show his intentions, he needs to invest in quality players, decent manager. If he doesn't I feel our club will have a very difficult season ahead to avoid relegation.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 May 2016 23:31:27
The big difference was they were not going public until they had told both managers what was going on. If Cellfoolo had told Evans on the last day of the season he was to be replaced then you could draw a comparison.

24 May 2016 14:10:50
As you all know I tend to be positive about Leeds and more often than not support MC (mainly due to the fact there is no-one else with any money who can buy us) .

However I think the last few days the way that SE has been treated is pi** poor really. Going from that MK bloke (43% win rate, same as Evans) to the guy from BR now (over 50% win rate so fair do's on that) .

Sure even the big clubs do this sort of thing, like Man U just now, but it is sorted within a couple of days but with us MC could have done what he is doing now weeks ago, which would be better for Leeds utd, SE and MC in every way.

I don't understand why MC can't seem to learn how to deal with people, or have someone who deals with them for him, for god sake it ain't that hard i. e. thanks Steve for job but time for us to move on, simples and then not so much bad press/ feeling from fans.

Do I mind this guy from rovers coming in? in a way not really as he has a great win record, yes lower league but 2 promotions on trot is not bad and you would think he would be a modern coach with modern ways.

Is he any better than SE? well I don't see how on the surface but who knows what goes on behind the scenes at the club.

Just get a bit of class MC and do us all a favor.

Too right, cellino stumbles from one farce to another, his choice of managers beggar belief, Evans deserves better, he could do a lot worse than give him another 12 months, Leicester have proved you don't need to spend millions for success, the right manager, coaching staff scouts etc is the minimum you need, and of course a sane owner Evans has shown loyalty and deserves some back Cellino hawing his job all over the place is direspect on a grand scale, there are plenty of proven managers out of work so why not pick one with a chance of getting us back up, he's turned Leeds into a farce, the best supporters in the land deserve better, as it is its lions led by donkeys, FFS Cellno sell up and walk away enough is enough.

Totally agree dg. No way to treat people unless evans has a future at club should be told so he can get on with his life. Not sure we will get any better than him. Cellino showing disrespect by trying to keep all his options open. Rhino pretty sure Cellino would sell if there was a buyer out there who will meet his price. can't get rid of gfh as they want too much for their shares.

They will not invest. Fans against him, media against him, fl fa against him. Think he's lost a lot of interest now. I know he brings a lot of it on himself by his actions but I can understand him saying sod this why should I invest more of my money to make gfh richer and get promotion for people who hate me.

Hope I am wrong but think his ambition of premier league football has taken a back seat and we will plod on till debts are paid.

I had the foresight to see he should've bought GFH out early doors even if they wanted a ransom for their shares. Cellino might be 40m worse off but he'd own the club lock stock n barrel and probably be doing way better than he is right now.

Agree3 Disagree0

24 May 2016 13:44:54
It seems to me that the reason MC is determined to replace SE could be he had complaints from the Italians about him not picking them and other stuff that has made him think he lost the respect of the players, there must be some other reason other than him talking too much, results and performance wise was mixed but OK, but we are Leeds and need to be above average!

A few preconceived notions on this site that require further examination:
1.Cellino has invested millions into the club - There is no doubt that he has put money into the club but do not kid yourself that this is a philanthropic act. As the term invested suggests, the purpose of investment is to make profit. Cellino's investment has been in the form of loans and share issues (debt) which he aims to get back and more. Cellino is a businessman therefore I do not begrudge him expecting a return however his current business model will not achieve success for the club, only provide him with a healthy return. This should not be a reason to pat him on the back
2.There is no-one else who is prepared to invest in the club - According to Cellino there are buyers out there however no-one wishes to pay Cellino's value of the club. Given that Aston Villa has/ is being purchased at £60m for an ex PL club with it's own stadium, training facilities, squad and parachute payments whilst Leeds is valued north of £65m. Haigh claims that there were buyers around at the time Cellino bought the club however he stole a march on his competitors and completed with doing DD because he saw an opportunity to make money.
3.Cellino has invested money in the playing staff - Yes he has but his net transfer spend will show a profit. Again nothing wrong with that, many clubs operate this way however hardly a reason to get the bunting out if he sells one of our better players and then replaces them with a number of inferior players.

Not at all Wex, however too many pro Cellino arguments on this site miss the point that he is first and foremost looking to make a profit. Nothing wrong with that but it does not mean we should be grateful or blind to what is going wrong at the club.

Agree2 Disagree0

24 May 2016 16:59:37
Some of us understand this Notts, but have I have stated such FACTS before but for some unknown reason, some on here just can't see it. Cellino were told is a great businessman who is so successful, tales of how great he is when all we keep getting are employees mistreated, unpaid tax bills and the current farce. If a great businessman gets things wrong he would analyse the situation and make sure the next time he went around it and planned so failure wasn't an option. We have nothing to thank Cellino if he can't get his money back it's his own fault.

Agree0 Disagree1

24 May 2016 12:16:28
So it's official we have approached a coach who has less experience than the one in the position at the moment. If someone like this turns us down, we really will be a laughing stock.

I try and spend a little time each day and read what everybody is saying about the situation with our beloved club. I am finding it very hard to understand those that feel MC is doing a good job. He is the owner of a football club in the championship of the English football league and does not appear to have any idea what that means and the responsibilities that go with the position he holds. If he is a brilliant business man as some fans seem to think why is he not seeking out a coach with better qualifications for job. I was in management for many years and if we needed more staff I certainly didn't take anyone on that wasn't better than what we already had. You cannot improve without looking for more experience. We appear to have lost valuable time already in this closed season which cannot be got back. People have invested in the up and coming season by buying their tickets expecting things to be happening on a positive note but that does not seem to be the case and on that basis the future does not appear to be looking so good. I hope I wrong but I don't think I am.

Very good say EK. Have to say you are correct, unfortunately.
I don't think he realizes the importance of the managers position.
Will he ever learn? Probably not.

So main candidates are Pearson, Flores and Adkins. all have similar win %s (mid 40s) so it comes down to "fit":

A) Pearson. strong, motivator and likely to strangle silly no . So good fit but maybe a bully.

B) Flores . Great experience and seem like a good guy, but wouldn't love the club or stand up t mr silly

C) Adkins . A scouser, but did live local ish when at scunny, he might best get what we're about.

A tough one!

I would be surprised if any of your list are being considered for the job.

I hope MC gives the fl enough a munition to kick us out of the whole league structure. We can join a local league play on a waste ground. I hope we lose our opening game 0-8. Anyone who disagrees with me is deluded. George your negative. I'll still support my club, proves I'm loyal. It's everyone else that's irrational doctor not me. People agree with me, they really do. Why have I got two pencils up my nose, wibble.

My only hope is someone with a knowledge of football befriends Cellino. So we can end up with Flores, buy decent players, decent management structure, Happy days. Or we can follow the great businessman spend little on anything and just hope we can go somewhere. Why are people defending this madness, with such statements as "it's his club", not ours then. We were there before he took over and will be there after he goes. He can do madcap things that no one else did, imagine if bates had employed Hockaday. When bates ripped the heart out of the club, people realised what was going on and protested. When GFH ripped us off people realised what was going on. Why this blind loyalty to Cellino?

Cause he is putting money in and wants to do well. Just isn't that great at it. he's typical Italian. Talk but no walk. But he is a damn sight better than the last two so that means we are improving. Dosent it?
Is Leeds the fans club. From the heart yes actually factually. No.

If he wants us to do well he would get a class coach. Employ a management team to make club decision. Give the coach a budget so that he can identify the players that he thinks will take the team forward. Or you can pick players who are cheap and not very good, give your new coach the incentive, that you don't trust him to pick players, that's your job, as you have more footballing knowledge than they do. Tell him if he doesn't get results with the players you've picked it's his fault not yours and he will be deservedly fired. Just a couple of other things, don't go saying anything to the press, that's my job. Lastly, you will not be on one of those contracts that your on now which lasts for a couple of years, you'll be on a rolling contract, so don't expect a large pay off like you would get elsewhere. If you want the job you'll have to put up with my constant criticism of you, you moaning baby. You also have to remember if you become more popular than me I will become insanely jealous and you will be sacked. If you still want the job welcome the madhouse. Your mad like me, I like you, I'll sing your praises for a short while before falling out with you.

As I have said many times 'which decent coach/ manager would want to come to Leeds at the moment? ' Only one that is unemployed and desperate. It's a shortcut to the dole queue otherwise. In addition now that MC is fed with Leeds and its supporters he probably wants rid doing as much damage as he can along the way as did Bates before him. Look out for another Hockaday type backed by Albanian owners- or Evans could stay if Hockaday2 couldn't even be recruited and he would have to learn Albanian.

Yeah. All owners want to bankrupt themselves. That's how they make millions. Bates bled us dry. Didn't put a cent in
Mc put millions in and bought players. Spot the difference just!

So what if Karl Malden dosent want to manage us. Dipstick! Lucky for us. Hope we get em in the cup and muller them.
Does look like Cellino is trying to get the next coach on the cheap but maybe that's his budget. Remember my his money his club his choice posts! Not everybody has got zillions, not every club spends zillions. We will have to be patient and hope mc gets the right coach soon. We don't really know if the choice is right until he has had a few games so. One step at a time.

I know what you're saying Aus, but it is a little worrying that we can't even tempt the mk don's coach is it not? The job has become a poisoned chalice.

Agree0 Disagree0

agree Aus better to have budget coach than admin, maybe we have not really got much money. I think he would of been a decent choice but if he don't want to know then so be it. all management jobs are poisoned chalice, no manager is safe.

All the hate and s**t thrown at m. c is crazy.
Think about all the crap bates passed onto 👉 gfh crapital. and the shambles they created and then they sting m. c

I watched the interview with David haigh
On youtube for Yorkshire t. v if any one not seen it have a look it got me thinking

That it must be frustrating for m. c having gfh lingering around like a fart in a lift watching him put is hand in his pocket every time. whilst they sit back with their 25%

Hopeing and praying that he gets us back up I just think that m. c is the one that has stuck around and try dig us out of the big stinking pile of s**t left by bates and the corrupt gfh.

Think on my fellow Leeds fans it could be a lot worse. WE ARE LEEDS . MoT.

GFH are a cancerous vermin but that is not an excuse forcing Cellino to make insane in the membrane decisions and adopt a nonsensical football model that has zero applicability in Yorkshire. If he had saved up and retained staff from McDermott he could have bought out half of GFH shares by now. Instead 10m is down the river via court cases.

agree micky watched the interview and thought same thing (must be the name all mickys are smart) 10 mill is made up figrue george. and if people don't want to sell they don't want to sell. DH said they want silly prices so you can not blame mc for not wanting to spend silly prices on a club where some moron fans have abused him.

To kind of prove my point I might change my avatar to don't be like george or DBLG now you may prefer this not to be the case, well if you want it to stop you have to buy me out. 1 grand and I will stop posting. if you don't buy me out it is your fault.
