    Twitter is rife that he is to replace McDermott.
    Was at ER and TA with Cellino apparently.
    Not sure thats the man I was expecting.
    The hooters of swfc are pissed off though.

    Carbone has no history with them then and they were not after him as a manager?

    Hasn't stopped loads of them tweeting him not to come to us.
    He is an ex Wednesday player. Made me doubt myself for a minute but he did.

    Managing in Italy according to wiki. As I said bit of a surprise if true. I would be underwhelmed.

    If he'd managed AC Milan, Inter or similar, then yes please. However, if he hasn't even managed a Serie A side, then forget it.

    Been to Hooters in Tenerife, Vegas, new York, ...... ****ing love that place and even if ER was just full of short skirts, tits and pretty faces, it would be better than the shyte I've seen for nthe last few years, so cumon Massimo give me more hooters instead of shye shooters, and bald uselessn managers.

    McDermott’s future, meanwhile, remains unclear as he and Leeds prepare to complete the final two games of the Championship season.

    United play Birmingham City at St Andrews tomorrow ahead of a planned talks between Cellino and McDermott next week.

    A meeting between the pair, scheduled for this week, did not happen

    Apparently he's currently managing in the Italian equivalent of League 2, and when he managed in Serie B he was sacked within 4 months...really hope we aim for higher than this guy.

    Hmmm I hope he doesn't get the job. Could be another Di Canio <yikes> and we know how that ends.

    Carbone is to become new Academy boss ... so who is going to be new manager? And what of Redders?

    The Academy needs direction again, especially after being run down by Bates over the last 10-years. We got rid of our academy director who was snapped up by Man City and he took his number 2 with him from Leeds. This pair have poached every decent kid from Yorkshire as they had all the contacts for all boys clubs and schools. I believe Massimo has a lot of time for Redders so dont expect anyone to go, just get a new addition to give purpose and meaning again.

    Imagine if we opened up the education department again so that we took boarders, and opened the medical center again, and opened up all the buildings that have been closed down and pitches unused ...... Could we be looking at going for Cat 1 A category again to put us back with the big boys. After all we invented something that everyone used as a blueprint for academies.

    I agree Doc - This guy joining doesn't mean it is someone out the door, that's if he does join, it was just an interview so I believe?
