The clubs in a mess needs stripping down to bare bones and rebuilding Cellino is a business man have faith!!
I think we all need to take a deep breath and see what next few weeks/stroke months bring. Trying to read between the lines and apportion blame to Cellino or McD at this point is a pointless exercise. None of us know exactly whats going on except the two individuals involved. One way or another it'll be sorted soon enough
Cheer up mate, there's nothing any of us can do to influence what happens at the club. Just hold on tight, and hope things get better on and off the pitch.
Our season finished on Saturday, On Monday Our chairman,Director,and Ian Holloway booked 3 days into a hotel to thrash out plans for next season, They are opening a European scouting network,and refurbishing the Academy and have given professional contracts to seven of the up and coming academy players, Mick Harford is in Scotland looking at players and Holloway is speaking to 2 possible transfer tarkets and 4 deadwoods have been released Your lot have all gone AWOL one day youll be a proper club too
If I bought a business that was haemorrhaging cash, the first thing I would do would be to strip it down to the bones where I could, get things stable and rebuild. Easier said than done if you don't fully understand the repercussions of all those cutbacks, but MC has run a football business so you have to believe he knows what's essential and what's not. We just have to sit back and watch the chaos unfold. Re carbone, whatever his final role will be, I understand he's already trying to instil a passing philosophy. From my perspective, that at least is a positive... We might still be rubbish, but a little easier on the eye.
Hello all ... we had better get used to the unpredictable way Cellino works ... on McD as stated earlier Massivo cancelled earlier meetings, then he WROTE to McD to ask for his plans for next season (maybe he doesn't have a phone), and in fact McD had written back, do the "where is Brian" outburst is downright rude, unprofessional and pathetic, welcome to the crazy world of Massivo ... Carbone appointed as a consultant on all football matters from the first team through to the Academy, REALLY? WTF can Carbone bring to a club like Leeds to drive us on to the Prem? This type of behaviour/decision making may be acceptable in Italy, but fcuk me Yorkshire folk will skin Cellino alive if he fcuks about like the Mad Hatter ... any new manager we get will be at the mercy of some crazy outbursts and public humiliations, which won't be great for morale - the manager's, the players', the supporters' milky, the only passing philosophy Carbone will be doing right now is passing on P45s to all those being made redundant ... I worry about this appointment and how it fits into the grand design, will any potential new manager really want Carbone reporting back to Cellino on how he's doing? "For the sake of Leeds United he would break himself in two"
... All owners have spies in the camp. At least this one will be out in the open. I'm not condoning it, not saying its a good thing. Merely commenting that carbone wants the academy boys to keep the ball on the deck.
You're thinking along the same line as me, Billy. Good post. I'm going to pinch your mis-spelling of Massimo & add Ego when mentioning from now on - Massivo Ego !! Sums him up nicely.
