    Amazing what giving a fan 20 quid did for McDermott's reputation. Clearly easy buying some fans respect

    Exactly how I read it, but I can't believe there isn't a punchline. Well played Bucks. <applause>

    The bloke was just decent and Cellino treated him like ****......
    Just like he treats everyone else like ****......
    .... His anti women rant that is going to cost us thousands is just another example.....
    Would prefer admin and starting again to him staying in charge as he has managed the impossible and made us less saleable than even Bates managed.

    Difference between Bates and Cellino. Bates was good at what he did, he was always in it for himself but because of that wouldn't ever allow Leeds to be in a position where its almost impossible to sell.

    Not saying I'd have him back mind you

    But Cellino only said what you've said many times about various sections of society on here. Are you wrong too or just Cellino

    I think that starting again from scratch is the only way for the club to make any progress. We have staggered along for the last ten years showing no ambition whatsoever. A top class football team in Leeds must have an enormous potential in soccer starved Yorkshire. We need a very wealthy investor with a love a love of football to buy the club, but who in their right mind would do that without owning the ground and Thorp Arch?.

    Bates was terrible for the club and I was glad to see him go but it just goes to prove that these 'owner out' protesters didn't have anyone lined up to replace him - same as now - so we ended up with GFH, who unbelievably are worse than Bates.

    It's all very well wanting the owner out but ffs I wish they'd think it through first, or we end up with worse than we had previously and so the cycle continues

    Protesting because of boredom and frustration on the off chance of someone better coming along to take over didn't work last time and won't work this time either

    Your opinions are amazingly similar to Mr Cellino though. You must admit

    I disagree, I think there probably would've been a fair bit of interest. He just sold to GFH because they were willing to pay the most imo.
