"Phil Hay ‏@PhilHayYEP 3 hrs To that end, I'm told no-one on the #lufc board was told that BM was getting sacked. That's no defence of them, just underlines the shambles" This just keeps getting better and better. I'd compare it to Tan or Allam but I'm not sure even they'd go this far.
Who had the authority to sack him? Who is the owner right now, or at 8pm yesterday? Who was making decisions? What happens if the alleged takeover falls through due to the FA? This is a pigs ear of a shambles, and everyone could be reinstated by Monday, especially if the players take the Racing Santander approach and Cellino disappears. Not saying it will happen but it would be extremely funny while embarrassing too
It is Cellino with his lawyers that have sacked these people. He has just run into the Club gunning down whoever he saw just to let them know he is in the house. How anyone can defend this man is unbelievable
So GFH were really so spineless as to let this guy step in and start firing people without even being able to? They must REALLY want to sell.
Like ken didn't have the authority to sign off on 3 years worth of private jets. Who had the authority to sack BM? Who had the authority to block varney move and turn down offers for Ross? Who were the offers made to in the first place? Never a dull moment at Leeds.
Phil Hay ‏@PhilHayYEP 6m As it stands, McDermott is due to attend today's game and watch from a box in the East Stand. #lufc
If that really is true Dammed, a serious amount of support from the crowd might just see him return to the dug out during the game. You never know!!!
As I understand it, they didn't know about it. Cellino made these decisions himself, because he doesn’t need a board, a manager or anyone else. He believes he is God and can do whatever he wants when he wants to. He is what we like to call a true dictator
Something that's been worrying me is that he's talked about needing "a coach, not a manager", which would suggest wanting to go down the coach/director of football route (which doesn't work over here anyway), however from what I know of him and what we've seen so far, I think he wants to be director of football himself.
LOL Brian can or might be reinstated BUT I bet there will be plenty of fans calling for him to go before the end of the season, agree though this is all a complete shambles and I can't see anyone defending GFH after this. I was going to mention before that looking at what he supposedly said to Brian it seemed more like he was trying to force Brian into having Festa as a coach.
