The content of MC's seemingly insatiable appetite to be in the press continues to generate ridicule. That is not in the best interests of the club. He is an embarrassment to himself and, more importantly, the Club. Let's face facts, the FL were right - he is far from 'fit and proper'.
. looking forward to MC's forthcoming court cases and how the FL wish to proceed.

He is just misunderstood - English is not his first language lol

Slightly premature I know. but. If we are suggesting new managers names I would not be unhappy to see Poyet or Hoddle or Zola. If MC wants to look closer to home then a couple who have good reputations (Organise well and play good football) are Valter Vio and Ivan Carminati.
The latter has been working at Lazio, Galatasary, Inter and Man City primarily working on fitness but has learned from some of the top managers around. The teams, you could guarantee, would pass it around when they have it, close down when they don't and do so for 90+ minutes.
All of these are currently unemployed so fit the Cellino criterea - they are probably cheap.
Certainly the last two would not be alien to the Continental "Coach only" role

17 May 2015 17:11:26
Ye they might be cheap but at least they aren't nobody's n poyet knows the championship so would be good imo

It's his money & he can spend it how he likes but I'll be amazed if Cellino gets us to the premier league in the next 2 years as he hopes as the coaches & players he's brought in on the whole haven't been good enough.
I get the impression he's too arrogant to suddenly change his ways but we'll have to see.

17 May 2015 22:11:48
He will want us up there so that he can cash in and get out- he has invested stacks so will need the premiership so he can sell for profit and head off to buy another boat😀

{Ed003's Note - wonder if he along with others realise the implications of a european breakaway league and all the tv money that will leave with that and this so called 'promised land' might not be there in the next few years ? just an idea I thought I would throw out there.}

17 May 2015 22:33:23
Can't see the European thing happening - the premiership are onto a good thing and I can't see those teams giving it up - not to mention the impact on champions league etc. having said that maybe MC sees Leeds playing in such a league - now there is a thought😏

{Ed003's Note - It will happen and the money will go with it or at least the majority of it will,the clubs apart from the big ones won't have a say that is why it is called a breakaway PP.}

18 May 2015 09:15:22
They said it would happen in 2014 - it didn't! Not saying never but not in the next 5 years - just my oppinion

I have to agree with most of the comments on here, Cellino is a fruitcake no denying. However, let's give him credit for making us a solvent club again, without his money we'd be in the mire.
He has a massive ego that needs massaging regularly and needs lessons on style, class and diplomacy. Whilst he's in charge the name of LUFC will be continually in the news mostly for the wrong reasons.
Personally, I have never thought Redders has been the right man for head coach. A nice man yes but lacking in tactical awareness. I think he has brought his own downfall on his head. I think he also has a huge ego and thinks the academy players relative success is all down to him.
He seemed hell-bent on playing "his" players and ignoring the foreigners. This must lead to resentment and probably led to that infamous mysterious injuries scandal.
I don't condone what those players did but they obviously felt the weren't getting a fair crack of the whip.
I really hope we can recruit some quality players in this window and Gus Poyet to be the head coach.
Finally, one piece of advice for Signor Fruitcake, let Adam Pearson do the press conferences keep yourself in the background as much as possible. I know a lot will disagree with me but all our opinions are valid. MOT and pray for a good summer recruitment and a successful season.

17 May 2015 13:43:29
Speedo, I think most on here concur with what you say. The man has no class and an ego the size of ER. It looks like Redders will be on his was but why ffs didn't he do it in private?

Many people on here will say "what the hell, if he gets us promoted, then I don't care how he does it". Ask yourselves this though, if you were related to one of the many people Cellino has trampled on along the way would you still be singing from the same hymn sheet?

Treat others how you'd expect to be treated yourself Mr Cellino you coward!

Totally agree
We have to put up with the man because so far all in all we are progressing as a club and could achieve prem in couple years
Even if he is a classless imbecile!

17 May 2015 14:02:37
I agree 100%

17 May 2015 14:05:45
I agree with you speedo

17 May 2015 14:26:01
Agree with you speedo. Let's hope Pearson can keep a tight reign on him. We are in a better place as a club since he came in. There will always be drama with him in charge. Let's hope we get the right signings and coach(poyet for me) this summer. I will be disappointed if we don't reach the play offs next season.

17 May 2015 19:01:35
MM bang on as always, well nearly always. The man treats people despicably. He is nothing but a coward and a bully.

18 May 2015 00:13:56
All great posts in this thread

It must be so boring being a supporter of any other club in this country. I for one can't wait to get up in the morning or come home from work to find out more controversies we have gotten ourselves into.
I was born and live in Doncaster and could quite easily become a Rovers fan. How dull would that have been!
I enjoy being part of this club (the main part like the rest of you because we are here forever).
I like the fact that other clubs/fans/press/Football League/everyone hates us, and that we always seem to get dumped on from a great height, often.I think this brings us closer together than any other clubs fans.
The current situation is just another stepping stone in our troubled history and I for one think all we can do is get behind Cellino and trust his judgement. He might be a lunatic but he's our lunatic!
MOT

I love it, your Leeds or your not no in between. We can moan but as you say its our club, our lunatic so let them print what they want only makes Cellino more determined

17 May 2015 12:55:46
Celine should become new face for lithium and halaperidol

17 May 2015 13:15:12
They would be great sponsors free samples to visiting teams.

17 May 2015 10:50:33
Oh dear, it appears Cellino has said this new coach wants revenge the same as me, Narrows it down to Hockaday and Darko then!

17 May 2015 12:14:36
Lol do not think he meant revenge, more like wants to prove they are winners prove the doubters wrong, gets lost in translation with mad mass. Papers going to print exactly what he says that's why he needs to shut up

17 May 2015 12:53:04
Shut that door methinks

Thought there was something not right between Cellino and Redfearn. Redders stopped picking the players he bought and even dropped Sylvestri in the end. Berardi only got a game because Taylor was playing upfield. Cellino should have dealt with it then gone public with his reasons but at least we know now he will not be coach next season. Explains team selection and use of bench. Also Redders never once spoke up to defend Cellino and just stoked the fires in his post match inerviews, mainly blaming the bad results on the foreign lads. Looking foorward to next season, never a dull moment, hope we get one of the three being touted about, will be big improvement. Really wish Cellino would get a script writer though. what he is thinking does not always translate.

17 May 2015 09:40:38
Regardless of your opinion on Redders, the interview in the mirror is just beyond belief. A vicious assault on a decent man, hung out to dry and ridiculed for daring to stand up for his point of view. Cross Cellino and you will sleep with the fishes. What coach is going to want to work with him? Probably Darko seeing as he is still on the payroll!

17 May 2015 13:33:54
Ironic that he called Redders a coward yet hasn't the balls to tell him in person what he thinks of him. No doubt he will blame his ignorance and declare he never said such things. tut tut, you're making yourself look a fool Cellino.

MM

17 May 2015 09:34:03
I find it quite ironic that Cellino calls Redfearn a coward and uses the gutter press take a swipe at him and basically tell him he's fired. Pot calling the kettle black don't you think?

I know this site is full of Cellino lovers but the man is an out an out coward. Why the hell doesn't he keep his gob shut and do things professionally? Oh I know, he craves publicity, but as long as he gets us promoted, who cares eh guys, never mind who he s**ts on in the process.

MC is just mad and says really dumb things, changes mind every day, can't seem to make a decision in private, repeats his mistakes, so how did he ever make any money for god sake?

The man is mad for sure, go home or just shut up and get on with running the club, he makes out he is some kind of god but no class, I supported him when he came in, no prob with sacking Redders who is average coach no more but for god sake man stop giving the media so much stuff to bash us with and just meet him, says thanks and part ways, simples man.
