Good Morning Everyone, In yesterday's press conference, we learned :- He signed a whole lot of cheap foreign imports out of desperation. In doing so, he spent the McCormack money. He admits making mistakes. Selerno was not the right man for the job. He will be looking closer to home (ours not his) to bring players in this season. Cellino has no intention of selling the club. He will sell the club at the end of the 2017 season if the team have not gained promotion by then. 3/4 of the way through Cellino decided to nip out for a cigarette leaving a startled Adam Pearson - three days as a director of Leeds United and counting - to take the wheel at a car crash of a press conference. One word of note, Cellino informed the presser that MC: 'The balance sheet will be close to breaking even.' When was the last time that happened? Lastly, Cellino's daughter received so much stick on social media sites, that she has had to move to London (where possibly they don't have computers) By posting almost half naked pictures of herself, was she asking for trouble, or do you believe that she deserves to be treated with dignity and respect? In other news Beckford has been released by Bolton...
Morning Elland and all. Only thing to come out of the presser is hes confirmed to all in public, that he is indeed an imbecile. Were on a very dangerous slippery slope. One thing I dont understand though. Pearson seems to be very highly regarded by most. Why did he get involved in this mess with Cellino? Financially doesnt need it and certainly wont improve his cv. By the way, Im sending a cv to Massimo this weekend applying for coaches job. Might meet up with some of you lot on the day of the interview
Morning Eire, You an Shaks could do a double act. You could coach, and he could be in charge of refreshments
Morning all Car crash is correct and the funny thing is that underneath the crap there was a couple of pieces of gold, which went under the radar because of his behaviour. Accounts sorted, going to bring in UK scouts and players and maybe a UK coach. So the set up getting sorted but because of the presser he will take more stick than his fit daughter on social media. He may end up throwing his toys out and doing fook all and I would rather he did his job than chuck his toys out. It's like dealing with a kid, and just to spite us he may actually employ the empty twins Shaks and Eire as the new Redders and Tommo
Morning all I don't think Celino took responsibility on things especially on the player front. If think that was placed at the feet of Salerno. What we did learn yesterday is that Celino is a joke. To be fair I think Car Crash is a bit light. The best description was train disaster
Good morning to Matt and co from a warm and sunny Bardsey I was totally devasted with MC antics yesterday but to say on the one hand what bright youngsters were coming through the academy and then saying he was going to dismantle it was just plum crazy As I keep on saying he doesn't accumulate all that wealth being stupid so one can only assume he is selling up and selling a ship that is now on a break even keel and not a sinking ship that he bought so how much will he get lets say the players are worth some 20m plus and then the branding rights which could be worth north of 35m plus the sponsership 10m that gives us a total of 65m less 25% to the other parties so for his investment of £28m its now worth almost £48m not bad for a crazy 12 months plus he has got rid of all the big wage earners so the man to me is not stupid
Morning all, I loved the press interview, anyone who was sitting on the fence before will now be firmly camped in team Anti Cellino
The press conference was like a side show at a circus. I just felt sorry for Pearson, he was like a rabbit in the headlights thinking "what the fk have i done"
The pressed was an absolute shamble. I stand by the fact I think he's better than Bates and even though he's a raving lunatic there is still a small chance of promotion with him at the helm. Granted we'd need to get very lucky to manage anything like that.
I'd take Beckford back as well. Not just for sentimental value but I think he could add something. Think it would be a lift for the fans as well.
Afternoon Mike, I hope and expect him to mean that the academy is being restructered so it runs more smoothly. It wouldn't make any sence to close it.
