    As the old song goes "We've been through it altogether, and we've had our ups and downs", no more so than with Cellino in charge!


    He has turned our club into a freak show. Some of the events that we have seen happen with our own eyes would be too far fetched even for soaps.


    Yet here we are, virtually debt free with a half decent squad, probably four decent players away from a play off place. This would replicate our best finishing position for 15 years.


    I don't see Billionaires lining up outside ER with suitcases full of money, nor will they whilst the only assets the club has are their players.


    IF, and I know its a big if,but if Cellino brings in someone of Monks quality, and he dips his hand in his pocket to bring in some Premiership class, than at what point would you :-


    a) Renew your season ticket



    b) Get behind Cellino



    c) Start to believe again

    Debt free? **** off Matt, we have more debt now than when Cellino took over.

    The rest won't happen..... End of.

    Short answer would be yes. But we are not debt free, we are servicing long term loans to Elanora sport and gfh.
    Monk has had one managerial job but is the better of names we've been linked with lately. Hope, it happens but doubt it, think it will cost more than Cellino will be prepared pay.
    Cellino again says he will sell if he can't get us promoted. If no one is out there to buy us then you accept he is talking bollocks about that as well or there are people out there he is not prepared to sell to.
    Don't believe a word he says. Oh and managers that should walk over hot coals for this job are turning us down. Still can't wait for next season though <ok>

    If someone wanted to buy Leeds United but Cellino had refused to sell to them you can be sure it would be leaked to the media one way or another, if only to put pressure on Cellino and force his hand to open negotiations

    There's no conspiracy theory, no one with any serious money wants to buy the club, and that's been the case long before Cellino arrived. No amount of protests, anger loaded tweets and cyber attacks by keyboard warriors is going to conjure up a billionaire knight in shining armour, and for the record I'm finding it a lot more enjoyable following Cellino's Leeds than Bates' Leeds :biggrin: <whistle>

    Forza, I'm not saying this, Cellino is. Quoted again in Italy that he will sell if we don't get promoted next season. Either you take his word and there are people out there willing to buy or he's talking bollocks. Either way I'm no keyboard warrior.

    <doh> I wasn't calling you a keyboard warrior :biggrin: I'm talking about the knobheads on Twitter calling for Cellino's head

    Yes he's a twat but he's an improvement on that Chelsea shyster - I'd ****ing hate a repeat of the Bates years

    Cellino might well want Monk he might even offer him more than he was on at Swansea but what will Monk request in return? I would imagine total say in team selection, a say in who we keep and who he wants in.

    Cellino won't go for that, I can't see Monk coming in as the next lap dog, can't see it happening but if it does things might get interesting...

    But then again Monk's got nothing to lose, he's unemployed, he'll get a nice payoff after a few months, and if we're top half his reputation will be untarnished as future employers will put his sacking down to the Cellino effect.

    He may even buck the trend and see through a promotion winning season <whistle> depends if he's up for a challenge. Probably desperate to get back in the game.

    Having said that I bet he's not even being considered

    Well said for a and the one point the Cellino outers will always refuse to accept, there was and is no one with money to buy only bullshitters looking for their hour of fame on twitter

    If Cellinio is serious ( he isn't) he would back his judgement by giving the new bloke whoever it is a three year contract....
    Now let's wait and see.

    Then who is he going to sell to if he fails (again) or is he bullshitting. His words, not mine

    Putting it for sale and a buyer turning up with money are two different things.

    Then why does he keep saying it and why do you keep confusing me with him saying it? Only him talking bullshit if you're right

    He already said previously there was only time wasters enquiringly about the club. I'm sure that won't change in near future. Lots of better set up clubs than ours on the market and without hangers on like gfh to contend with
