Leeds seem to be a reet shambles at the moment.. Another club with a loony owner? EXCLUSIVE: Leeds United owner Massimo Cellino sacks 440 staff and closes academy http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/fo...mo-Cellino-sacks-440-staff-and-closes-academy
What`s he doing buying into the thing if he can`t afford it? Crazy situation. tbh can`t say I`m bothered really, never liked Leeds from the Don Revie days.
I know you dont but its the state of football, that is a mess and a half that, i thought they were on the rise
No argument there. Either he hasn`t done his homework or he hasn`t got the money. Either way it`s a shambles.
First Ridsdale now this joker. For all they were detestable at the time Revie and Silver will be spinning in their graves.
I'm with you there Pops, still love the TV interview with Revie and Clough one of the greatest pieces of sports journalism ever.
Just think, a whole load of their fans under 30 won't even really remember the 'glory' days that got them into this mess! Remember when they first went down from the Prem, and live on TV, actually on the pitch, straight after the game, to55pot Smith immediately said that he was leaving, 'cos "he's not a championship player." That really endeared me to him. Alan, you've got to start looking out for yourself.
That's survival of the fittest. No room for emotion. If in the distant future, that happens to SAFC, then so be it, that's ****ing life. No ones entitled to an easy ride.
If you read the article its not as bad as it sounds. Club losing 1 million a week. Payed off 40 full time staff, and 400 casual staff (whatever they are). Closed the acadamy. But he has brought in Benite Carbone to run the acadamy so the closure must be temporary, and they still have plans for it. I just think he has come in, seen a huge mess, and is making drastic changes to try to get out of the mess.
