About to post exactly same thing. Can't wait for third parter.

Guys, watching Haigh, I'm about to turn full circle and support Cellino and be positive but it is subject to part 3. Stand by.

Everyone on here must watch the Haigh interview. Compulsory viewing.

Aus, compulsory means you must do it - it's not an option.

Don't be suduced by Haigh. He went along with this for long enough. What happened to him was dispicacpicable but he was right in the thick of things and was paid well. Don't really think we're hearing anything new. They came to flip the club and make a profit, there dodgy as he'll and all there deals are the same, make a fast buck, leave when things go wrong. Yeah heard it all before.

26 May 2016 09:30:02
Well apart from anything else, it makes a total mockery of the FL 'Fit and Proper Person test' If they insist on keeping their ridiculous test, the first thing they should check is that the buyers have enough money to at least pay the wages.
Forget Massimo for the moment, we can forget the idea of making any progress until we get rid of GFH. They are just leeches and parasites.

Yep Haigh is trying to make himself the innocent party out of all this yeh he was treated badly but he's just looking for brownie points and employment.

26 May 2016 11:22:47
Some very good posts here. The interviewer didn't probe Haigh enough. Haigh is not innocent because he should've walked away. He listed huge problems including being lied to then he said he was assured there were solutions by those liars and he believed them! Why would he believe? Because he saw pound signs and almost as vain as them. As I said before I am close to changing my tune about Cellino but will wait for Part 3.

26 May 2016 13:05:31
George I have always said cellino is dealing with the club with one or even both hands tied . This is in the form of ghf . Ghf invest nothing but want 25% of any profit.

He should've bought them out first day even if it meant 40m down swanny.

26 May 2016 13:43:12
The "fit and proper test" only takes into consideration criminal activity not economic wellbeing. Just because GFH are useless does not excuse Cellino his ad antics and an we should all become apologist for him. Where do we keep going with this do we feel sorry for GFH because they followed bates? No. People were writing at the time of purchase that GFH didn't have the money go run the club. It seems as long as a deal is done and you haven't got a parking ticket or a restraining order from your sister in law, your in.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 May 2016 14:31:33
Agree with George that the interviewer was useless. He should have been asking why Haigh didn't walk away. Why are we having staggered releases, almost expecting the drums from East enders at the end of every part. First question in part 3 should be "You knew they were useless and curupt. Yet flew out to a attend a job interview. Why did you want to work for such an organisation? "

Spot on.

It was painfully obvious there were no solutions.

You know what's worse? Bates knew they were bad but proceeded to sell. He should've waited for a better buyer.

Bates would not have wanted to sell to a better buyer.
Then we might have succeeded. That's the last thing he wants.

I know but he vowed only to sell to persons with money and who had best interests of club at heart. He had to know they were useless, potless and crooked. Bates is a liar and I hope he rots in hell.

M. M. Cellino is going to offer you job soon mate lol he's offering three days off a week to see your sister in law and foil yer boots with yorkshires finest nectar! Lol take it Mick! Take it! Lol.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

25 May 2016 22:24:50
Posh lad, thanks for the suggestion but I would refuse the job if offered. For one, three days a week is a bit much for me and secondly, Massimo is a big mate of Jeff's didn't you know? Couldn't be doing with his bullshine. Think I'd rather stay in my current position as a 'Government Artist' - drawing the dole!

Cellino now says he won't employ a coach who got relegated last year?

So why talk to Robinson then?

Maybe you don't like being told 'No'?

Why would you even entertain talking to him in the first place?

Total knob head.

U got to feel for SE havnt you he loves the job loves the fans and has to sit listening to Cellino banding round names of who he's interviewing for his job! If Cellino can't get anyone? And says to SE " I've decided I want u to be our coach " I would tell him to do one! But he won't he would bite his arm off! How sad is that! Lol.

The solution for MC is simple! Install a top notch coach, maybe an ex England manager? Salary between 3 to 5million a year! Back him to the tune of 60 million for his transfer war chest! Result the promised land! Once in the premier league, throw many more millions at player recruitment, so he can maintain a top four finish, which would give champions league and mega bucks, set your yearly finances to rely on champion league qualification and sit back and watch the goldfish! What could go wrong?

Morning all,

I haven't posted for a while but am a daily reader of the site. Anyway here's a post that George will love:

I've been thinking about all this manager/ head coach business and it occurred to me that I actually trust Cellino to make the right decision. I know he's made a few massive errors in the past, most noticeably the Hock. But he did choose to appoint Evans when everyone was against him, and Evans turned out OK and kept us safe from relegation. I completely agree that Evans deserves better treatment but at the end of the day his contract expires at the end of the month and Leeds have no legal obligation what so ever to keep him on. I think we all know that Evans was always going to be a short term fix and that Cellino would find someone else in the summer.

In terms on candidates so far, I think Clarke is being lined up as a backup option if Cellino's non-Italian English speaking guy doesn't work out. Who ever gets the job though needs the backing of the fans, and just maybe we'll get it right for once and have a half decent season.

Like him or hate him, Cellino is in charge and isn't going anywhere any time soon. All the protests and negativity doesn't help anyone, and surely must unsettle the players. We are supposed to be united, so let's show it.

MOT.

Agree in terms of all this negativity doesn't help club, but you kinda know that with Leeds it will happen even if it wasn't mad dog MC in charge, I think it is the natural way of things with us Leeds fans and maybe fans in general.

Anyway if MC can't get MK, Bristol R, random guy from Italy in as coach how about getting Larry back in? He would take it, seems to have sorted out his defense issues, got Preston up and got them to 11th, best of all promoted teams (way better than that MK bloke) .

Also I think he has unfinished business with Leeds and he would not cost that much, knows Leeds, championship, had a 50% win rate with us, current 46% win rate with Preston and so far is way ahead of the people who have been mentioned.

Right I know I have got MC's private number here somewhere, will give him a call with this great idea, or maybe Jeff/ survior can give it too me.

Larry to Leeds that's what I say.

Agree3 Disagree3

25 May 2016 11:21:52
Yes yes yes, Larry, Larry, Larry
Let's start a petitiion.

Agree0 Disagree2

25 May 2016 11:45:39
People need to let go of the past, Grayson had his time, we need someone fresh with no bad blood. Grayson actually had a reasonably good team whilst leeds manager (snodgrass and co) but failed.

Just waiting for the 'bring Alan Smith brigade' to pop up now.

Agree1 Disagree0

25 May 2016 12:12:55
Grayson didn't fail Opt Danny got us promoted and close to play-offs with no money and Papa Smurf in charge, who is worst than MC as he sold our best players cheap and we never really bought anyone of much value.

Anyway just hope the next guy in is half decent.

Agree2 Disagree1

25 May 2016 13:25:55
Danny old son. You trust Cellino? No wonder you don't post much on here your probably out on day release. Hope the people who look after you are nice.

Agree1 Disagree0

25 May 2016 13:57:49
yeah they don't let me out very often, something about me being crazy! I keep telling them that Leeds are gong to get promoted one of these years and they then put me in the padded cell.

Anyway crazy or not, I trust Mr Cellino. (Oh got to go, there's a man in a white cloak standing behind me)

Agree0 Disagree0

25 May 2016 15:03:24
Danny

Your post reads well but has no basis in fact. You say quite correctly Evans was always going to be a short term fix. And your point? I hope it's not because you believe Cellino will eventually settle on a long-term coach? 42 coaches have been sacked in 24 years by Cellino now. Everyone is a short term fix to him because he is a psychopathic control freak who has openly stated he can't work with English managers. He can't with anyone actually. You say you trust him to make the right decision. Really? I could list his core decisions. They are all wrong and the dead opposite to what LUFC needs. Methinks you are in a very lonely and tiny minority Danny.

Agree2 Disagree1

25 May 2016 15:28:44
I reckon the guy from Bistol Rovers could be a good shout. Just because he's a league two manager at present, means nothing. They all got to start somewhere.

MM.

25 May 2016 15:56:13
Think Larry would struggle to be honest . He had a better squad to work with than any manager recently and would have done no better than Evans with what we have now . Really grinds my gears about the fifteen point deduction when in league one as I feel we'd have done a Southampton and gone straight up if we could have held that side together. A vast majority of it have ended up playing in the premier league with other teams .

Agree1 Disagree0

25 May 2016 16:46:34
Larry is yesterdays man.

If Mr Silly is serious about young English then some facts:

Clarke 53% win rate (league 2)

Heckinbottom 62% (Barnsley)
Caldwell 48% (Wigan / enough for promotion)
Wilder 42% (Northampton, promotion)
Parkinson 38% (Bradford / play offs)
Appleton 35% (oxford / promo)

Who would you choose?

Agree0 Disagree0

25 May 2016 16:48:36
George I fully accept your points and opinions, I just can't be bothered to waste my time getting angry about the situation. I just want to support my club, and will back and trust who ever is in charge. The situation is what it is, and Cellino is who he is. Nothing is going to change anytime soon, unless someone from the anti Cellino campaign has 50/ 60 million laying around.

I'm quite aware of Cellino's record for sacking managers, and I don't for one minute think he'll keep someone long term. Changing managers on a regular basis doesn't always have to be a bad thing, just look at Chelsea for example.

At the end of the day, fans have two choices; get on and support the owner, manager (whoever it will be) , and team, or alternatively continue as you are which isn't acheiving anything.

Do you not wonder what image the anti Cellino campaign portrays to any persoective buyers? If I was looking to buy the club, I'd wonder if I would be n Cellino's shoes in one or two years time.

Anyway I think we are going to have to agree to disagree, let's see what happens.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 May 2016 17:51:21
Based on what Phil Hay is reporting, Clarke from a Bristol is sounding more likely, Maybe couldn't get his man in Italy.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 May 2016 18:28:13
Danny

You are not going to get upset over who the coach is. Do you not think that someone who has the qualifications for the job should be given it. Changing managers is not a bad thing you say and give Chelsea as an example. If our next managers were going to be, Hiddick, Mournino and Antalotti, then no I wouldn't have a problem with changing managers. When like Chelsea the owner gives the manager lots of money and says "Go and pick your players" I'd be happy with that. But when your lunatic owner picks the players, chooses coach and blames him for failure, some of us are a little angry. If you did something over and over and it didn't work wouldn't you change your ways. If he's picked 5 already that he's tossed aside in 2 years, what makes you optimistic that he's going to pick the right man now. Anyone who is sane would look at the teams that go up and ask themselves what we're they doing differently to us? They had a good manager who picked the players he wanted and they spent money getting the good players. I could do that or I could pick a coach who is cheap and just repeat the last two seasons and hope we start well and if we don't sack him and get another coach and if it doesn't work out, well, there's always next season.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 May 2016 20:00:33
I no longer trust Cellino to have our best interests in heart, although its been a long time coming.

The mere fact that he is trying to get a new coach with Steve Evans still around might signify he has learnt his lesson regarding firing people and then having to pay the price.

Somehow think next season will be more of the same (crap) I'd prefer to see Leeds chasing premiership quality players, rather than concentrating on upcoming managers with no experience.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 May 2016 06:40:54
Ok, so we want the head coach situation resolved one way or another. Regardless who gets the job I think the way SE is being treated is shocking - very poor man management and it makes a mockery of our 'family' ethic at Leeds United (although you could say that went a number of years ago😡) . Who wants SE to stay and give him a chance to really have a go, bring in some fresh blood and really have a go? It seems the chat on here is resigned to the fact he isn't staying and yet nobody else in the frame seems to want the job. Nobody seems to really be backing SE in the vain hope a big name comes in! I can't see it - do we start a back SE campaign or do we continue to keep guessing?

Believable2 Unbelievable0

25 May 2016 07:23:26
Peacock, a lot of us on here have posted numerous times about Big Stevie, but it looks like that ship has sailed. The same happened with Redfearn so it's no surprise.

I would prefer Evans to stay and no doubt when every manager and his dog turns us down, he will be re-appointed, with Cellino saying it was always his intention to retain him.

MM.

That's probably about right mick.

25 May 2016 12:39:51
At least I know that every manager that turns the offer down is saying no to Cellino and not Leeds United. Unfortunately the fear of Cellino is bigger than the lure of Leeds at the moment.
I used to have strong views on who it should be (still have really) but I am getting to the point where I just want this sorry saga/ farce over with and let's start putting a winning team together.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 May 2016 01:08:04
I want to meet Mr Cellino and tell him there are bits of lemon peel floating down the Aire that would make better owners than him.
