    If I bought a rolls royce for £1 and sold it for £2 making a £1 profit would that make me a good businessman?

    You asked where Cellino was better than Bates and I gave just 1 example? He gets the value for players. And Bates had a lot of duff loans himself if you recall

    Compared to renting one for a year and not getting a return on it when you give it back yes.

    Are you even suggesting Cellino is a good business man, please don't say yes...

    selling your leading goal scorer, telling the coach not to play Antenucci because he might score a goal and trigure a bonus, oh yes great business.

    YES

    Just kidding

    Im saying Bates was worse for the club than Cellino

    And using the analogy I Presume by renting you mean players wages. Those wages have to be paid to players a fee is paid for as well

    We are not losing millions each year any more
    I agree with Gambawn. Bates was siphoning every last penny out of the club that he could for his own means.

    Cellino has stemmed the flow. We are no longer hemorrhaging money.

    I'm not saying he is the perfect Chairman but he at least tries to do right by Leeds Utd.

    Sorry Gombawn, I can't stand either Bates or Cellino but I'm with Ristac on the players debate. You're right in that Bates didn't get the right valuations for the players (though as most of the fees were undisclosed who knows if the old **** pocketed a few million from the deal) but the players he sold that he allowed his managers to bring in were far better than some of the ****e Cellino has bought / loaned.
    The fact the players you name that Cellino got big bucks for were none of his signings prove that. He's wasted wages on the loaners Ristac lists and I don't see a big queue lining up for his players, only some ****ty old Serie B clubs for Antenucci and we can't even give Sloth away.
