    Evening shaks. Odd thing is, if the gobshite had managed a win against Bradford, which it think I could even have managed, he would have gotten his ten games. Some ****ing roller coaster this eh?

    They didn't say he'd buy 15 players at first attempt, mostly young lads, pay off huge debts and buy back Elland road (in the pipeline) did they?

    Don't think he's particularly known for attacking football tbh

    Cellino's only made one bad call (admittedly the most important one) which he's put right today. His next appointment must be the right one. We don't want a Hockaday Mk 2

    Correct forza. He's clearly a bright guy so am not expecting him to repeat his mistake. I think an Italian with previous management experience in championship likely

    It's ok buying young players, but I'm not filled with much optimism with the ones he bought. Yes he's paid debts off, but personally I only care about spending money on decent players.

    The debts had to be paid shaks. Couldn't continue with 25m debt. Fair play to him for sorting it while still buying a full team

    You spend too much time agreeing with them. Never forget the cnuts are always on the wind up.

    I know they wind us up, but we do the same. I just feel that some of their predictions were right, even if they were winding us up.

    His bad call was to buy Leeds. He is a cheapo. He won't do for us. We could be relegated.

    He isn't the best owner we could have hoped for but he is certainly the best we have had for the past dozen years. It was him or bust, nobody else came forward, I truly believe if he had not purchased us we would have went under and/or Bates would have found a way to sneak back in.

    I haven't agreed with all his decisions and purchases but he is a breathe of fresh air at the moment, as long as he buys back ER this year then he has done all I had hoped for in year one. I would like to see some big named signings but then Cellino is trying to ensure that we stand on our own two feet, that we at least break even week on week and that we are not running up continuing debt, that can only be good for the future.
