Club statement a lie

So the club statement claiming Leeds not looking for individual to rights now shown to not be true.

Leeds were offered 12.30 Saturday kickoff for boro match they refused it.

And Cellino tells people he is doing this to protect the fans.

It's also human nature to have thought that after Bates and GFH we might have finally got someone in who would be good for the club, wishful thinking I suppose, and I was as guilty as anyone else

"But when have things being going well at Leeds since Cellino came ??"

We have had moments of hope. There was a time when Redders was in charge, with Thompson, that things looked promising.

Evans had a 6 match or so unbeaten run.

Not that many but I think all of us, at one or two moments, have hoped that things might get better.

I'd forgot how a lot would defend him doing the things most would think of been inhuman.

----------------------

for me the first time I remember being revolted by something he did was when he told the press with barely hidden glee how he told hockaday to shut the f up.

Really got to me that, despite what I think about Hockaday to act like that was a level of disgusting i just couldnt get my head round.

For me it was the sacking of bm.

Then the 'where's brian, I sent him a letter' farce

Thanks for the article Highland.

Presents the different angles of the situation very well.

Perth wont like this but it once again highlights how in over his head Cellino is and how he is unable to channel the situation to best advantage for himself or the club.

He clearly has a valid point - not so much about the amount of time Leeds has been shown (I still believe the 100k compensates more than adequately for any lost attendance), but the manner and timing in which games to be televised can and are switched. However, he clearly lacks the nous to champion the cause, for which he could garner significant support from other clubs.

If a better potential owner came along with serious money and intent and was willing and able to buy the club, the ground, get rid of GFH and get us on the right track then I'd be completely all for it. I'm not that much pro Cellino.
It's just that this scenario is simply not out there.

I also think Cellino would go right now if he could but there's no way for him to get his money back without selling Cook, Taylor, Mowatt and trousering the money, which, to his credit, he didn't.
Ironically, the best way to get Cellino out is to get behind him and the team, and achieve the success needed to attract buyers.
The more you hire projectors and pull stunts the more likely you are to frighten off anyone with even a passing interest in buying the club.

What you don't want is for him to panic sell to someone with less money such as the supporters group etc.

Perth, so your recommendation is to enable him to assist him in getting out?

Help him make more money so he does not see a need to leave?

All the way treating everyone poorly and messing things up?

Hmmm...

It's that or continue to drive a wedge between fans and make us look chumps with half @rsed protests that the press lap up.

But it is said that buyers are there, its just when they talk a price Cellino ups it at the last minute!..

I don't think anyone is going to buy unless Cellino finds as big a dumbass as himself to buy!..
