Morning Elland and all. Great to see another irishman at Leeds. Our contribution down through the years has been immeasurable at the club
Giles, McPhail, Harte Kelly but in recent times the scintillating Keogh, Kelly and kente the best till last, hunt. Yep I'm all for this appointment. Bring it on, good times a coming. Guaranteed by Xmas you'll be alway hanging Irish fans at Elland road

A small but important Change made........ That's better
 
Afternoon all ... so court case lost (it was a pathetic non starter anyway) and Leeds to pay £950k by next week, and the rest will now also have to be paid pretty soon ... great start Cellino has had so far off the field ... as for Dolan being appointed (or any of the other front runners) it will end in tears ... Dolan will struggle at Leeds, this is a massive club with a huge job to do and the pressure is immense ... people need to understand the difference when a player, coach or manager comes to Leeds, its not about ability, its about temperament ... do you have BMT, can you cope with the expectations and pressure that comes with being at a club like Leeds? Not even Everton or Newcastle suffer from the same pressure ... asking someone to step up from a Youth coaching role into taking Leeds back to the Prem is insane ... Dolan may well go and get a Blackpool or Watford promoted, but that's because, like Burnley, its not expected, so there isn't any pressure ... if Dolan is at a Blackpool and he misses automatic promotion by one point, then loses in the play-off semis, everyone will pat him on the back and go "awesome season, much better than we ever dreamed" ... at Leeds that will not happen, and pressure does all sorts to the mind ... I seriously doubt Dolan can step up to this level of expectation and deliver, with the added problem of Cellino causing mayhem whenever he spills coffee in bed ... Leeds need a very strong manager, a George Graham type who doesn't tolerate nonsense and demands the highest standards from the entire club not just the players ... forget promotion this season, my worry now more and more is if we start poorly a relegation battle is not improbable


"For the sake of Leeds United he would break himself in two"

You still don`t seem to get it, we are not after a MANAGER we are after a coach

I'm with Bucks on this, Dolan doesn't need to be a very strong manager, because he isn't being employed as such. He's there to coach the players and get them playing decent football, which is exactly what he does at Reading, funnily enough. Yes he will be in the spotlight more, but Cellino's the real manager and will do a good job of hogging the limelight. Good coaches can change teams, and I'm cautiously optimistic about Dolan.
 
Looks like Dolan not coming anyway. Reading issued a statement blocking any move for him. They seem to rate him highly as a coach, but of course, as usual, he's not good enough for some of our fans
 
13 days to pay or goodnight Vienna, and Cellino saying he wont pay <doh> oh yes you will this isnt Italy mukka no right to appeal <laugh>
 
Winding up order to be heard at two oc clock and expected to last an hour. TC and Mighty must be pissing themselves with excitement, sitting at their keyboards hoping for a negative outcome


<laugh> the outcome was just as i wrote <ok>
no unexpected surprises unless of course Massimo Bates decides not to pay :1980_boogie_down:
 
What a ****ing crock of whaleshit , the Leeds faithful get ****ed again. Never has one club been so advantaged for so long , its nothing short of criminal . All Leeds fans over the last 25 years or so should get medals and all there owners should get hung ...
 
oh please ... the "coach" won't feel pressure? wake up and smell the coffee, and for fcuk sakes don't roll out the "Cellino is the manager" line ... this is going to be a fcuking disaster, the quality of replacement for McD is fcuking laughable ... lots more heartache to come ... Cellino has behaved like a clown so far and we are going to suffer if he continues in this vein
