    Good Morning Everyone,

    So, the football league have banned Cellino again, but not before he sacked his 6th Manager in 18 months...

    The ban relates to Cellino's conviction under Italian tax law back in June for not paying VAT on an imported Land Rover.

    It is thought his ban will last until next June...

    But don't worry folks, he's going to appeal it...

    To be fair, the infrastructure at Elland Road is solid enough, its just a damn shame that Adam Pearson is not around. In this situation, I would call Pearson and offer him 3m a year to come back. It looks like it could be a turbulent season for the Whites, and the more stability the club has, the better!

    Did Cellino know the ban was coming yesterday?

    Who will take over from Cellino? Could Umbers come back <yikes>

    Is this the final nail in Cellino's coffin?


    Right, let's talk about Steve Evans...

    To be fair, he might be one of the best Managers in the division for all I know, BUT he doesn't do himself any favours by the way he portrays himself!

    He just doesn't really look the part!

    The good news is though, he's bringing his assistant from Rotherham with him. A guy called Paul Raynor.

    Fulham v Leeds Utd

    Wednesday 21st October @ 19.45

    Streaming links to follow

    Leeds will almost certainly be without Liam Cooper and Charlie Taylor for the trip to Fulham.

    You'd guess Byram would be bought in the cover right back, Beradi would switch to left back and Bellusci will deputise in central defence.

    How many goals do you reckon McCormack will put past Silvestri?

    It will at least be interesting to see how Evans lines the team up when he has got his feet under the table.

    For the time being he surely has to stick with the formation the team know.

    Former Leeds United managing director David Haigh has been ordered to pay out more than £200,000 in court costs after a failed private prosecution where he claimed he was the victim of “human trafficking”

    Who thinks we should have a whip round?

    Morning all. It was always on the cards that Gary Cooper would eventually get the coaches job. Everyone else has had it anyway

    Good Morning To Matt and co from a slightly sunny Bardsey
    My take on what happened in this murky world called football On Sept 28 after we lost at Boro Stevo was sounded out as to whether or not he fancied the Leeds job.At the time he has just had two really good results beating Cardiff and Birmingham away .He obviously did so he made some excuse about going in different directions with the club and resigned .So he now had to wait for some bad results this came along with 2 defeats
    Against Birmingham and Brighton and so on Sunday Rossler was given the sack and Evans waiting for the nod was appointed
    I wondered why Stevo having won 2 games suddenly left and why since the Doncaster job came up and there was no mention of his name .No doubt some will say I read it in the papers .Its just what I think and it would explain an awful lot of why Evans was appointed so quickly
    I think that Evans will not be messed with unlike some Rossler was a gentleman unfortunately they don't go hand in glove with being good managers Evans is his own man but he gets results .He may look like a jovial Joe but beware he isn't!
    If what I say is reasonably right and having experience on this matter I would say that Evans knows our weaknesses already

    Morning all,

    I actually think Evans might be the manager we need to motivate the players.

    Think we might be surprised and see Wootton at CB tomorrow...

    I'm going 1-0 win for Leeds. Then its away to Bolton and I'm going, anyone else off?

    When did Pearson leave was it around the time he was told about Cellino's latest conviction. Could Pearson be coming back as the new owner as his reasons for leaving were very vague.

    The club is a joke and every fan in the country is pissing themselves yet again.

    Evans could be good but it does seem stupid that Redfearn takes over from Evans and Evans swaps to Leeds. When you look at the stats for Leeds managers Redders has the best % of wins and Rosler the worst. Even Hockaday was better. How can people be upset that Rosler was sacked, he was dire and didn't have a clue how to turn it around he had the worst record in history for not winning matches at Elland Road

    Morning all

    Another ban for Celino which won't make any difference for him. He will just rise back 'from the grave'. We won't get rid of him.

    I''m with 60. I thought it was strange that Evans jumped ship from Rotherham a few days ago but now we know why. Feel sorry for Rosler he must have known Evans was waiting in the wings ready to pounce.

    As for the game against Fulham I'm not going to make a prediction

    There'll always be someone trying to knock Leeds down out of sheer envy and jealousy, right now it's Shaun Harvey. I hope Cellino's wearing his Gucci shoes at the appeal.

    Mind you, 28,000,00 nicker doesn't sound a lot to be banned for, some players and managers have been fined more.

    I got a sneaky feeling that Evans will sneak a win against Fulham.

    I don't think it was that he was sacked, it was a combination of appointing Evans and Rosler supposedly saying he was dismissed over team selection/tactics. That leaves a cloud in my mind as to whether we have been seeing Roslers team or Cellinos and confirmation that Cellino likes to plat Championship manager with us

    Lots of conspiracy theories flying all over the place. The facts as they stand is we have replaced yet another hopeless manager with an equally hopeless no name one who will be lucky to survive past xmas. In the meantime we are a rudderless ship, average, inexperienced squad with effectively no one in charge again. Match prediction for me, two defeats coming up. Im not remotely interested in the conspiracy stuff as Cellino will always do whatever he wants unless FL manage to stop him

    Morning Eire this honestly isn't a dig, it just made me smile how you started the season so positively (as did I) and yet again it all goes down the plug hole.

    The scary thing is our season used to be down the pan just after Christmas, it is getting earlier each season.

    We all know he means me, he does it wanting me to bite so I have <ok>

    Look at yesterday, he causes all that fuss then does his usual vanish from the thread act when proved wrong yet again.

    No more said, otherwise another thread gets derailed

    No prob Ristac. Ive always said Id give it a quarter of a season to see how its going. No point in throwing the dummy from the pram before season started. Morning Glory btw. However, its clear nothings changed and Ive given them every chance to prove otherwise. Do you want me to point out where the ignore button is btw <ok>
