Bit of harmless Tuesday morning banter don't go down well nowadays does it?
I was trying to make a few people laugh not cry.
Was taken very seriously and i apologise. ha.
Ha, I was talking about the comment below in the Trust Statement article on the Supporters Trust website and quoted the last paragraph from that comment. Nothing against your comment here about 'We Love Cellino' t shirts. In fact I might get one. Goes well with my 'Cellino is God' tattoo....
hahahahha brilliant.
Personally love the Purple Cellino 17 idea.
if he comes in and spends 20 mil this summer, they would go like hotcakes.
The above comment is very telling, especially the latter part.
Its so true, everyone pees and moans every transfer window over us not spending ANYTHING. We need a billionaire owner rah rah.
One comes along and everyones like 'jeez he's crazy' all these owners are crazy they have all this money because theyve taken chances and made good and bad business decisions over the years.
We need him right now, he aint gonna throw 25mil at something then watch it all burn (unless he's crazier than i thought) he knows how to run a football club.
He knows how much money going from Serie B (the championship) to Serie A (the premiership) will make him, he blatently loves his ego being stroked by all his adoring caglari fans.
Period its gonna be different and exciting for both good and bad. Just all need to accept it now and wait and see what the future holds.
The rebirth of Leeds United or the beginning of the End.
Just one question....
If he is this big billionaire that people are getting excited about about, why has he never thrown any serious money at the Cagliari playing side, his hometown love? Why have they never progressed?
Im presuming because Caglari are a town on a little island with not that many fans and a 16,000 stadium.
Competing with Roma, Lazio, AC Milan, Napoli, Inter, Udinese, Juventus to name a few must be pretty tough no?
Id rather live in Leeds,Birmingham, London, Manchester etc if i was a player not the isle of man.
Just my opinion though.
He does want to progress them. He wants to build a new stadium but local government won't allow him to hence his decision to have them playing home games in Trieste on the mainland. It was done to try and force their hand.
Maybe he just sees the potential in Leeds and has the money to develop it. The problem is his methods are obviously going to be radically different which many won't agree with.
Also think maybe they have reached their full potential?
Georgraphically you are also comparing:
Caglari: 85km squared place with 149k inhabitants.
Leeds: 3574km squared with at least 750k inhabitants.
Most footballers and their wives like cities, not fishing docks.
How much further can you take that place realistically? you cant start extending the island and cloning passionate caglari fans.
To take it to the most basic level possible Caglari aint in there top 20 cities for population etc.
So for them to be in the top tier over there is surely over achiving? nobody will ever make Preston challenge with Man u , city, liverpool etc will they, no matter how much money they throw at it. There is a potential threshold and glass ceiling, which maybe he thinks he has hit, he might be able to go spend 10 million on a player but one of those big teams will just come and offer silly money then to take him from there. round and round you go, never getting champions league or europe ....he did get them to a uefa cup semi final though!

He took 7 mill out of his back pocket to buy a player for Caglari and tried to send him on loan to us but was too late.yea he has buckets of money but the changes he would bring would be really painful so not sure it is worth that.
but the changes he would bring would be really painful so not sure it is worth that
You'll never visit a dentist then eh...?
what player superwhites? very dubious.
So all these Mr niceguys that love our club and wanting to buy it,should have got their act together if they were serious.They didn't,which suggest to me they went into negotiations to buy our club and then when they checked their pockets they found out some didn't have enough or wasn't really committed in the first place.Do we really need these incompetent people running our club.Or someone who has the passion,money and guts to go for it.We may regret having taken the chance later if we do not take that chance,because one thing is for sure,these other jokers do not have the clout.We may be having this debate for many years to come because i don't see many other serious bidders.Yes Eric We could have some nice people run our club,do everything correct and polite,and all get on together.Oh yes...I nearly forgot...It's ever so nice being down here in the lower leagues,with all the wonderful people.
