yes ok lads I know we are leeds through and through and I know il never stop supporting them, but for goodness sake where are we going?
yes give hockaday a chance, do this do that, but really get a grip.
all i'm personally asking is for us to give it a go.actually try to get out the league.
before you say give it a chance I am, but to see we are making a maidenhead utd player our first signing is to be frank embarrassing.
my little boy is 3, why would he possibly get excited about making a 2 hour journey to watch my team full of loanee tutti fruttis and non league rejects, yes that includes the manager,
where will the future of leeds come from.
when his mums team, liverpool, are constantly on tv, talked about in school, why would these lads want to follow us.this is the hardest time ever.when we were younger we always had a decent side.
or at least played good football.
when we have to beg the likes off ross to stay its a sad day.to be honest he's looking for yet another new contract as he knows how strong his position is now.
yes he scored goals but I lost count how mant games last season I watched him run around like a headless chicken and seemed to give up. we could do far far better if only we were prepared to spend a little money.
i will give cellino every chance but why didn't he know how bad things were before buying the club.he had full access to books, profit and loss, invoices.
all he's done is cut cut cut.yes he needs to look at overheads but give us someting to cheer about please.im going to buy elland raod first week i'm there, he quoted.
yes you have kept your word, not. but blame it on thorpe arch costing us too much, blame this blame that.you are going to have to come up with something super exciting on the pitch to keep the interest going even early doors.last season first game v brighton, wow what an atmosphere, that was lufc at its best, you got the taste of where we were, where we want to be again, it was great.
i know il get the stupid comments back but who cares.we have a coach that was always full, last season half full, this season looking like a mini bus.it doesn't have to be this way.

I see where your coming from Shrew and I reckon a lot of people will agree with you but I totally disagree.
Cellino is a business man who knows how to run a football club as he's proven that for over two decades. I agree with the Elland Road part but I think he's playing the game the way all business is negotiated, you cry poverty to get a better deal because unfortunately that's the way of the world.
Don't forget our signing from Wealdstone worked out pretty well for us so I've no problem with where we get players as long as they're able to do the job they were hired for and I think that should apply to the staff too.
I'm not going to lie I wasn't overcome with joy from the appointment but in all fairness considering that we brought in managers who had the experience of getting promoted from the Championship in the last number of years that didn't exactly work so maybe a major change in strategy like this could very well be what we need. Someone who can't rest on their laurels after a few bad results with the usual lines "I know how to get promoted I've done it before, the players will come back stronger after this defeat" that usual rubbish they come out to defend themselves. The new guy has nothing to fall back on it's a once in a lifetime chance for him and the players have nothing to lose because all the attention will be shifted to the coach.
If we bring in the right blend of players and that doesn't mean we need to spend huge (although I'd love one marquee name we could all rave about) we could be the surprise package this season.
I completely respect your views Shrew and I would almost share them views but I genuinely believe in Cellino and feel we have an owner who cares about our club for the first time in a long time.
2.) Shrews nice post and I feel the same but like JBM says these glorified managers have done us NO favours over the last god knows how many years.
Head up mate let's give him a chance to build what he's got in mind, stick in there mate just think where we'd be if MC hadn't have bought us when he did ;)
3.) Fair comments back.
just want us to get back to prem or at least give it a good go. shrew leeds
4.) We have got to believe in MC. He bought leeds because he's seen the potential of this club. Sleeping giant. I have no doubt he is here to make money. That will only happen if we improve and get back to the premier league. He has invested his money. He is a business man. He is not stupid. His record in Italy proves that. Good times ahead.
5.) Well said MrP ;)

if someone does offer 9 mill for ross we would surely take it.
thats an awful lot of money for someone who is a championship player after all.
theres is no way in my own opinion that he would be an ever present and of enough quality to be in a prem team.just my opinion.yes he did well last season but i'd take 3 new decent new players to replace him if he went.
now i'd much rather he stayed but if a prem team did bid then you know he would surely want to go anyway so we need to get on with it.
ross perhaps should look at becchio to realise he would be a very small fish in a big pond.
not sure why he would want to go to another championship side but money talks.
yes thers still 8 weeks till season starts but we need to start showing the fans we mean business sooner rather than later, give us some excitement.

The problem is they'd probably want to pay it in installments, but I'd rather it was straight up (like Rhodes' deal). I don't think we'll get a big offer until the August deadline day, we should hold out until then. By then, we'd probably have signed some other strikers.

havent posted for a while but felt I needed to,
what the hell is going on?
let me see, no manager or coach if that's what its called now, no new players, 7 0r 8 gone, ross subject of a large bid, ex so called saviour in custody for alledged swindling, new so called saviour not in country, thorpe arch closed.all past players dumped in ambassodor roles.
have I missed anything?
before I renew season ticket I want to see some glimpse of ambition,
as for been linked with this player and that here and italy, how is that?.who is deciding who comes, is cellino going to sign players,
for goodness sake cellino could make himself a massive hero and a shed load of money.we still are one of best supported clubs around, get us playing, get us up the money and fans will flock in.
get in dolan, sell ross and fill it with italian nobodies then your investment will dwindle to nothing.
just do something please.its so depressing . shrews leeds
1.) Get a grip man, cellino's been in italy flogging his club over there. Surely the bloke can have a few days with family, before coming back with another 46 million to plough into our beloved leeds united. We will only need a head coach next season and when mr cellino has finished building the team for next season, we will be muched improved, just wait and see. No doubt he's spoke to some players while in italy. Just be paitent
2.) "let me see, no manager or coach if that's what its called now, no new players, 7 0r 8 gone"
Er, can you tell us who these players are and exactly where they have gone to then?
Until the end of this month, at least, no-one has gone anywhere?
3.) The players gone are the one's that needed to go. Give the man chance to sort the mess out, bigger than any of us thought.

Im flabbergasted by some posts.
looking good with dawson, bianchi and some kids. really?
look at the 2 teams put out for mansfield.they looked absolutely p poor.we were useless last season and we have sold our best player.
we need 5 0r 6 more players in.not cellinos poundland stretcher prospects.we need quality, proven, championship players.
4 to 1 on relegation looks a great bet if we don't recruit.
sorry but be realistic.it looks totally poor.
we will save bundles of money, we will be financially stablw which is great but how many of you are going to turn up every week home and away to see what we did last year?
die hards like me its proving difficult.
i mean last season v brighton was rocking.are we going to see that again longterm.and what about leeds longterm.the next generation of fans.
anyway il be there to support and there is time still to prove us wrong and get players in but not convinced at all
Theres no point in getting excited at all about names been linked.
if athletico, roma or even leicester want one of these so called starlets from italy they will get them.
why is vivani taking so long? because he has other people sniffing.
15 days to go. it could be a last min nile ranger and a tutti frutti from italy.
i don't know what's going on behind scenes but il be a bot more optimistic when I see 4 or 5 mill spent on a striker who can score.
i mean hunt/morrison/poleon. pathetic
24 Jul 2014 10:49:13
exactly,trying out new players.
they were tryed and don't look a lot better than we had,plus we have lost top scorer.
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
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
