    Cellino, Italian family will be confirmed as new Leeds owner shortly.

    Xellino jumps the gun, fires the Chief Exec

    Gets a Manc firm of lawyers to sack McDermott


    McDermott phones Ross

    Ross goes on to Sky Sports to spill da beans and to say he's not happy

    Fans riot outside Elland Rd

    You with me so far?

    We get linked to every Eyetie in Europe

    Supposedly signed a few of em, but await official word

    David Haigh has a paddy, and quits

    Flowers, part of Haighs consortium and shirt sponsors of LUFC pull plug (Enterprising move eh!!!!!!!!!)

    Even Flamingo Land pull their sponsorship (something about being taken for a ride!!!!!)

    Let me continue.....

    Well done on your win today, but I'm still confused as to what's going on with McDermott.

    Cellino made it clear that Festa (ex boro defender and manages a 3rd div side in Italy) is his preferred choice to take over management and will be in the dug out today...

    McDermotts no 2 Jones takes charge of todays game, which we win 5-1

    Chief Exec gets reinstated, but told to leave 4 hours later

    Haigh, having quit, turns up as normal...

    A loose club statement claims Cellino does not have the rights yet to sack McDermott.

    Thats about it pal, hows your day been?

    Well it's fair to say it's never full being a Leeds fan! Sounds like a comedy show right now!

    Yes, was sacked by someone who wasn't able to sack him. McDermott said himself he wouldn't walk away.

    Expect to see him on Monday

    I'd make an offer for the film rights to this soap opera................................. if the Damned United was a success, this one would be a blockbuster.

    Or at least I would if I knew who to make the offer to ..........................................
