I applaud our owner. Clever man. Anyone know how much we paid reaney and co. By all means a free ticket n vip treatment but a wage, well done Mr C

Lots of little steps in the right direction if you ask me
Get the club financially stable. Even if it hurts some!
Then focus on team matters.
So far everything he has done has been logical and needed doing.
Good luck with stewart contract too, I say!
Finally someone who knows how to manage and run a club!

Agree totally. so much scepticism and deriding of Cellino. Well, what a task he took on, if you decorate a house 90 per cent is preparation. Everything he has done is a step in the right direction. Support him for his dedication, look at the turmoil it has taken to get to this point, he could have walked away at any time, but didnt. He has sold Cagliari, as he said he would. I for one also applaud and believe in him

To everyone who is disappointed and underwhelmed at the prospect of Mr Dolan becoming our new coach remember if we are not excelling by Chtistmas we will be due a new one with MC in charge

Doesn't look like it will happen now anyway (hopefully!) but you have to thing Reading are some kind of 'team' to leave it this late (after an interview) to decide they don't want it to happen?

Just heard on Radio Leeds and also in Evening post that Paul Reaney, Norman Hunter, Mick Jones, Terry Yorath and John Hendrie will no longer be employed by Leeds next season.

All due to cost cutting exercise by MC.

Dom Matteo's post as ambassador has also been made redundant!

Would be interesting to know how much money they were on!!

Lets see if they turn up next season for "the love of the club" when they are not being paid to be nice to the fans.

Dont take swipes at our legends please

Much as I have respect for these players, it would be nice to see them now give something back to the club when we need it?

They appear to have been looked after quite well considering how long ago they actually played for us?

We cannot afford to keep paying these people money (whether or not they bring anything back into the club?) at the expense of younger players wages?

Good point, let's see if they will buy season tickets and membership supporting the club in the way the rest of us do! Comp days over boys let's see you nail your true colours to the mast . it would really make my day if they all continue to attend and prove their commitment.

They were offered hospitality for themselves and a friend but I understand none of them took up the offer

Tpjon

When the ledgends (LEG-ENDS) played for LUFC
(i watched and adored them) but they were paid a good wage and by george did they earn it.
The ledgends knew what a financial mess LUFC were in for the last 10yrs but they are still taking a wage out EVERY week. Like the above person said a free ticket, VIP lunch/drink and that's sufficient.
If we gave EVERY ledgend a job wed be up the swanny!!!!

Spot on Andy
Loved them also still do!but it's amazing how they all love our club but. Even when every normal staff members were being made redundant, or had wage cuts/deferrals etc during last 10 years (and it was happening not just with MC) bet no one stepped forward for a wage trim etc.maybe they can return when all financial issues are sorted and LEEDS back on solid ground with our blessings again!

Dont know why people are getting annoyed about dolan appointment because he is not a name the reason why the likes of him and hockaday etc being linked is the job is preciously a head coach nothing more cellino is looking to bring nicola salerno to leeds who he is hoping will be sporting director and will be in charge off all the coming and goings at leeds this man salerno is also wanted by palermo also as he is widely considered one of italys top scouts due to his habits of finding quality players on the cheap and flipping them on for vast profits its the sale of these players that kept calgiari running and fairly impressivly aswell Cellino is selling calgiari as he was fed up of finding talent and selling it on due to high costs associated with club running and very low attendances Cellino is a smart man he knows its in his best intrests to get leeds back in premier league as leeds is a one club city which when succesful in past had very high attendances and even in doomed ridsdale era there was talk of expansion of stadium to make it fifa compliant for international games once leeds are back in premier league not next year maybe not the year after but eventually we will see a stop to fans in leeds area switching to the or city or in most cases a club like liverpool who are hated by most fans just as much as leeds are as an irish leeds fan I don't get to see as many games as i'd like to at elland road its just too expensive but I feel most leeds fans in general are quick to slate players managers owners before they have a chance to put there plans in place In Cellino we truly have an intelligent business man who shown before he is capable of running a football club, in dolan someone who is widely respected throughout the irish youth setup and also readings where he brought reading to fa youth cup last four on 4 occasions since taking over give the man a chance he may surprise you

Well said upside!

Well said mate!

I am looking on the upside following that post. Well done fella!

Well said mate! Just bought two season tickets on the back of Cellino's attitude & his undoubted business aptitude.
We need to all get behind our beloved club & enjoy the journey. MOT.

Anyone have any idea as to what would be the outcome if the courts found in favour of the winding up petition. would it be a case of just paying the outstanding funds or something more serious.

I am assuming if found in the favour of Leeds, then they can stall the repayement or revert back to the original agreement.

If found in favour either we pay up or a winding up order will be issued, that's it really. I have no doubt Cellino will pay if we lose, its worth a try to save ourselves the dosh

If it goes against us easiest option is just to pay it and the court costs 1500approx and that's the end of that.

LUFC spain
1500 for what?
Court costs and lawyers cost an arm n a leg nowadays mate, you wouldn't get 1/2lb midget gems for 1500 lol
