    I hope glory will be satisfied when he does. He has constantly harassed and goaded the poor man since he took charge and clearly Cellino can take no more. I think we all have a responsibility on footie forums to act with a little understanding and class. Such treatment is totally unacceptable and I believe glory owes him an apology

    The sooner this LFU ****e gets kicked into touch the better. We can't afford distractions. If cellino is selling he needs to do it quickly to someone who can sort the club out, if he is staying he needs to say so and the real backlash can begin.....

    If only......

    I would consider getting Cellino out an even bigger achievement than getting cooper out of lust and lust out of lufc.....

    Btw I am being ironic

    Had much worse than Cellino before and probably will have much worse after,home fans at Leeds very fickle and that's a large part of the problem with home form IMO.Players dont just become much better players when they leave Leeds its other clubs dont have glory hunting Rhino's fans on there back after 5 minutes.

    You could be right LOL, but like most things said about LUFC, in various ways, we'll have to wait till it comes out in wash.

    I think, and I'm not sure, but I think most of the claims are from Bates and GFH's days aren't they? they seem to pop up out the woodwork when there's a bit of a cloud hanging over us; does make you wonder why these claims never came about when Bates and GFH were sinking the ship.

    I know a few on here don't like Cellino, for whatever reasons, and I respect their opinions, but no one really knows what's happening, or been happening behind scenes, a lot of it is pure speculation.

    Doesn't really matter who the owner is, Leeds fans will always moan and groan untill one finally, and I say finally with tongue in cheek actually delivers some results, promotion or Silverware. We are a cash cow for a lot of would be owners at moment who see how they can buy the club without it costing them too much, I'm not convinced that was the intention by Cellino, I think he got caught up in all his excitement at owning Leeds United then found all the holes, lumps and bumps left by Bates and GFH.

    Whoever the owner is, they're going to borrow money and loan it to Leeds, it's the rich mans way.

    What Cellino has done in past was before Leeds United, my concern is what he does with Leeds United, at moment he's steadied the ship and put our feet back on solid ground. Fans were calling for a rich owner, we got one, he got rid of all the deadwood and journeymen that the fans were calling for to leave, he's steadied us financially, including wages, which the fans were calling for, so instead of crawling backwards, we're actually walking forwards at a canter, what happens next, we'll all have to wait and see.

    Doesn't matter what Cellino does right, those that dislike him won't have a good word to say about him, or acknowledge the good things he's done for Leeds because it goes against their grain and agenda, but others will, irrespective of their feelings.

    As I've previously mentioned, you can't sail a boat till you build it, or repair it first.

    You are talking bollocks.
    The glory hunting fans left ER in about 2004.
    Have a look at the average age of our home AND away support,it's nearly as old as un cnuts on here!

    I am nearly speechless that anyone with enough intelligence to right the verbiage that contained this gem can actually believe it...

    Cellino is a crook, he has always been a crook and he will continue to be a crook. He will do jail time for his offences whilst in charge at caligari.......

    I suggest you don't pronounce on his time at Leeds until you see the state he leaves the club in. Whilst he still holds the keys the skeletons are just about still locked in the cupboard. There is no way a man who has bee proved to be dishonest so often is going to be found to be honest when left in charge of the sweetie shop that is lufc,

    Stop having a go at Mr Cellino ffs. He's already upset at the fans and it's been mainly you stirring it. Still our best owner for several decades

    I no longer think he is the best (in last decade) but just my opinion, what is sad is that he "might be" it just shows what a shower we have had, one bad apple after another

    What I can't understand(apologies for repeating myself) is why someone hasn't see us as a great investment and come forward over the years. Most things are in place. The ground could be bought back, the supporters are out there, there is a history and tradition with the club. But all we seem to attract are ****s who what to rob the club. :angry:

    Probably comes down to cost Shaks. Would cost probably upwards of 100m to put the whole house in order and thats without any guarantees it would improve us or attract the fairweather support back. For the clever lads with money, theres lots of safer investments than our crippled club

    I really don't think there are too many people wanting to start owning a football club that are genuinely properly good owners. Its a big investment and as we know most likely not going to make money on that investment in football. The ones that do make money are people like Bates, where they run the club on a very small budget and have done it before to know how to get money from a football club. Then there are others that think they have enough money but are very inexperienced and have no idea what they are doing ie. GFH. Then there are owners that are just maniacs and egotists ie. Cellino. All other new owners coming into the game just want playthings like Man City owners and Abramovich, but they don't have the patience to buy a midtable championship club, they have the money to buy a prem club and turn em around overnight anyway.

    There are exceptions like Southampton's owners but for the most part, good owners have run the same football club for many a year and have been in the game for a very long time.
