No word of a lie but i'd rather have Ken Bates at the helm than this lunatic.

Totally agree Corky

rather have Ken Bates.
God help us!
Why not go back a few years further and hanker after Ridsdale?!

Agree9 Disagree0

15 May 2015 00:12:08
If Bates was still here we would be in league one now and still have no money. What a statement to come out with, spent years demonstrating against him and now you want him back

Agree4 Disagree0

15 May 2015 00:55:06
Or how about we give the guy a break and give him a chance?
Remember how bad things were when he came in? and then from that moment he's been hounded by the FL, had a one winding up petition after the next to deal with, how the guy has slept at night god only knows!
Calling for him to leave before he's even properly had chance to run the club without court orders etc clouding things up? come on! give the guy a fair crack of the whip and then judge.

Agree4 Disagree0

15 May 2015 01:00:34
Yep
He'd have sold all the good players for minimal money. Stuffed it in his pocket and relegated us to league 1

Agree3 Disagree1

Didn't say I wanted Bates back BIGE. Just that MC is no better.

Cellino really needs to get someone else to do his press conferences, a lot of it just babbling. Bits I did understand he is keeping the club for at least two years with the intention of getting to premiership, despite fans calling for him to leave and abusing his family. Then if the club is not fixed and is not challenging for promotion he will sell. Understandable, why would he want to keep us just to be abused every year if we are not making money.He has not decided about Redfearn yet, read into that he has. He was pointing out that just because some fans want him to stay does not mean it is best for club. And he is not scared to annoy those fans by replacing him. Did not catch anything about dismantling academy and would it be wise to put the club into £15 million debt to buy back Elland Road when we have just had embargo lifted. Whatever happens I will let pre season tell me if we are moving forward or not. Not some press conference with a guy who is not exactly fluent in our language

Or a guy who is a lira short of a euro.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 May 2015 00:21:48
That's why BIGE you got to love our fans. White beard face had a high tolerance for abuse but eventually sold. So will this guy. His tolerance lower. Wake me when we have new owners.

Agree1 Disagree0

15 May 2015 09:35:21
George is that what a true fan base does gets rid of its owner every year instead of supporting the club

Agree1 Disagree0

15 May 2015 09:43:29
One thing more who do you think will buy us if he goes. Big companies like Red Bull won't touch us knowing they will be on the back pages for the wrong reasons. You probably will get another Bates

Agree1 Disagree0

15 May 2015 10:20:53
With you bige

14 May 2015 19:25:41
Well, will it be long before the FL take MC aside again for his next error of judgement?? 2yrs before he sells. I reckon must shorter than that.

I've just read the transcript of Cellinos press conference - what a straight lunatic he is. Seriously, he makes no sense and forgets what he's promised in earlier interviews. Adam Pearson must be thinking WTF have I let myself in for!

Believable1 Unbelievable1

14 May 2015 18:22:14
I believe someone in his circle has told Cellino that he is a lunatic and best to hire a sensible businessman who knows what he's doing in order to balance out his ridiculousness. Hence Pearson. Wouldn't surprise me at all if next season we are relegated.

Agree3 Disagree1

14 May 2015 21:38:34
What u say we are getting relegated based on a press conference? Really?
I don't think so, MC is mad but English is not his first Lang so he prob doesn't know what he is axing half the time.

So let's see what happens in per season before all the doom merchants start coming out

Agree2 Disagree0

15 May 2015 00:18:34
DG, yes based on that PR. It is very worrying. The world saw that. Our players saw that. So did their agents. Think about it.

Agree1 Disagree0

14 May 2015 16:49:12
Cellino is a muppet. Didn't Umbers say around time of Thompson suspension they now know what they need to do to make the club successful? Didn't Cellino recently tell the fans the answers are coming soon? He didn't really answer anything. He doesn't know what he's doing. He can't decide. He can't be clear. Cellino out. Sell.

Now he's talking about dismantling the academy. Whatever next? Get prepared for more four year contracts for mediocre Serie B players no-one has heard of to appease the faithful.

The man is a joke!

gather it was bad and not worth listning to however what exacly was or was not said, is it allowed to post a link to the interview if there is one?

that said I remain positive and still trust in MC even if he is making it harder for me to do so.

Agree0 Disagree1

14 May 2015 18:24:19
Bermondsey, your loyalty is admirable. However, Cellino is a loon and we are in for a rough season.

Agree1 Disagree0

14 May 2015 18:46:49
On what basis is your trust BW? Just a hunch or being controversial? The man is clearly bonkers, treats staff lie they are ten a penny, thinks he can get away with constantly breaking the law and then blaming it on his advisors or claiming ignorance.

He makes promises he can't deliver. He hasn't bought 'his house' back (Elland Road) as he calls it. He cited the youth of Leeds as the future, now he says he might dismantle the youth academy. He claimed Leeds would be in the Premier League in two seasons, now he's added another year. The man is a liar.

1 hour fifteen minutes of my life wasted for what. NOTHING!! Same old same old, even Phil Hay and Adam Pope are struggling to put a positive spin on this one

Believable3 Unbelievable0

14 May 2015 14:38:21
Currently listening to a complete load of BS, Cellino can't lie straight in bed let alone on the radio. Adam Pearson also going way down in my estimation and I have known him on a business level for a good few years

Believable1 Unbelievable0

14 May 2015 14:53:54
He's going to fix this club apparently. Didn't he say the same thing a year ago before him and his Chuckle Brothers came into town? I think he did. He seems to be implying that everything went wrong after he was exiled. Wake up Cellino, it was going wrong well before that which is why you sacked three managers and reluctantly re-instated one! I didn't hear the entire interview, I don't suppose anyone knows if he mentioned buying ER back or is that just another sound bite?

MM

14 May 2015 14:57:55
still waffling on and still not making sense, and no mention on buying the ground, apparently we spent 9.5 million on players last season.really??

Agree0 Disagree0

14 May 2015 08:32:15
OK so here's a serious question. Makes a change from me I know. Despite supporting the whites for 50 years, I've never had a season ticket, mainly due to other commitments. But my circumstances have changed and I'm thinking of getting one for next season. Which part of ground should I go for?

Subs bench?

Agree1 Disagree0

14 May 2015 08:52:07
Cop or South if you want to be part of the singing. South moreso if you want banter with the away fans. I sit in the bottom of the upper west which gives you a better view of the whole pitch but is slightly more money. East is technically the same but when the suns out you can't see and when its raining the first 15 rows tend to get wet (all my mates call it sea world).

Agree0 Disagree0

14 May 2015 10:09:01
As white knight says Kop or South Stand for atmosphere. The South Stand now make the most noise and the Kop and be quite reserved compared to years gone by. I sit in the North East stand, because I'm a bit of a boring get and like to concentrate on the game. My mate sits in the East stand and reckons it's the best view by far. I guess it depends on what your after.

Agree1 Disagree0

14 May 2015 11:51:06
As I like to watch the game (and sign a bit) I have tried lots of different parts of the ground, I like East stand L30- L32 bout 3/4's of the way up, great view of game and atmosphere is OK, if just about atmosphere then south stand for sure.

Agree1 Disagree0

14 May 2015 12:36:39
I have a seat in the East Stand near the half way line about half to three quarters back. Best view in the ground for me. Have watched games from all the stands in the past and saw my first game sat on the wall in what was ,if I remember correctly, the lowfields stand in 1954. Was in the Kop in 1967 for the Sunderland Cup game. Great atmosphere - couldn't see a thing - couldn't move! If you want atmosphere and want to stand go in the Kop. If you want to concentrate on the game with the best view go in the East Stand

Agree0 Disagree0

14 May 2015 13:19:05
South Stand definitely for atmosphere. The Geldered End/Revie Stand has lost the atmosphere over the years. East Stand for me as it's easier to get to the bar!

MM

Agree1 Disagree0

15 May 2015 08:09:51
Thanks all. I usually go in the East Stand when I go, and the view is great, but the atmosphere is a bit lacking, although at my age I'm not sure just how much atmosphere I can take. I've never quite got to grips with watching a game from behind one goal - although I was a regular in The Scratching Shed as a young 'un

Agree0 Disagree0

14 May 2015 08:24:22
So Cellino and Adam Pearson holding a press conference this afternoon 2PM UK. Hopefully some clarity about WTF is going on will come out of it! Not holding my breath though, probably a repeat of the United Together spiel we got last year and how true was that?

Must be somebody out there willing to pay $100 for sharp and $100 for Morrison or $170 for both
