Good Morning Everyone, Surely today is the day that Leeds may begin to turn the corner. I understand (some) people's distrust in Cellino after what we have been through as a club over his two year tenure, but I am positive that there are some Leeds fans that get on on the negativity, and before you ask, I am not talking about Not606. Anyway, it is now clear that Monk has been offered the hot seat at ER, and the 37 year old is considering his options. We hopefully should have an answer later today. The fact that betting has been suspended surely is a good thing, and before you ask about the Steve Kean link, I think that is a load of rubbish. As reported yesterday, Crosswater, a firm which supplies bathroom fittings is to terminate their sponsorship from Leeds Utd. Crosswater Holdings chairman David Hance sent a copy of the email to the YEP. It Reads:- “It is with great regret that I am severing my commercial association with Leeds United. “After 10 years supporting the club as a true fan, and longest-serving sponsor, I have had enough of how you run our famous club. “For my brand to be associated with Leeds United is now an embarrassment to both me and my customers. As always, I will follow the club all over the UK but until you exit the club I or any of my employees will not return in a commercial capacity. “I wish your task of recruiting another manager all the best. I certainly would not work with you or for you.” “For my brand to be associated with Leeds United is now an embarrassment to both me and my customers. As always, I will follow the club all over the UK but until you exit the club I or any of my employees will not return in a commercial capacity. “I wish your task of recruiting another manager all the best. I certainly would not work with you or for you.” Crosswater have become the latest in a long line of sponsors who are considering their options or have ended their relationship with the club because of Cellino such as Enterprise insurance and Flamingo Land.
Morning Elland. Has Cellino now got out of the HABIT of picking iffy Managers? Maybe, he's just gone for a MONK instead. Will be good news if Monk accepts & is given some pennies to spend. We watch this space with interest.
Morning Elland and all. I shall refrain from commenting on managerial or transfer rumours until they're actually on board. I'll leave that to the other wise sages. It's funny though, had Cellino reappointed Evans, I've no doubt, there would have been moans and groans and accusations the owner had showed no ambition. I see Roy had to do a bit of barrel scraping to make up his 23. Sturridge only had to declare himself fit after only being fit for a handful of weeks over last two seasons and that scum youngster who has a few hours senior football experience.
Morning all, I certainly hope the Keane rumours are wrong. My desire to have Monk were dashed a little with what our Swansea friend had to say about him but if not Monk who? As always any new guy will get my full support until they screw up, for me the first transfers in or out will surely say whether or not the corner has been turned. To be totally honest I think the corners at Leeds United have all been replaced with circles, we thought Cellino had changed with his appointments to the backroom last season and not one remains today. Right or wrong, that sponsor reflects how the outside world views us or should I say Cellino, just scroll through newsnow and you will see report upon report of players, coaches and managers with negative things to say. Getting players to join might be harder than finding a coach, it isn't just the fans who dislike Cellino and his methods.
Eire you kill me,England scrapping the barrel lol,You did just lose to Bald-ea-r-us with your top squad didn't you ?.lol
Matt The clock is already ticking on when I collect that fiver! Have you turned into Boris Johnson, I thought only he was currently spouting stuff he doesn't really believe to start a debate. Morning everyone.
I hope it's not THE MONK...Eire knows what I'm talking about. Although he'd probably get on with Cellino..
True fan my arse, he's just a fecking corperate twat. If and when we do get back to the top he can feck off if he wants to jump on the bandwagon. 10 years big deal, try over 40 pal. Fecking glory hunting gobshite.....
Agreed. It's a bad habit of his. Let's just hope brother Garry can turn our players into better Trappists.
Gary Monk could be using Leeds to get the Villa or Everton gig. Like Eire lets wait and see but why would 2 L1 managers refuse the gig? because they get no control and no money and expected to win the league. Is Monk stupid or is he playing games or has Cellino decided to go for it at last
You deluded fool Only way this Cellino owned Leeds will turn a corner is if someone nails one of their feet to the floor
