MC has sold Cagliari without the associated assets which may mean he retains rights to playing staff.

Ha ha ha so basically he has sold a club house for 42 million dream on mate players registered to calgiari so they are calgiari assets that's why he has sold for 42 millions because of players

According to cellino 3 are to be interviewed Saturday so no approaches to anyone

The sale to the Americans was for 84mil euros with associated assets. He sold yesterday for 43mil. what else can be worth 41mil euros, Player registration works differently in Italy. 43mil buys you a franchise in Serie A and a ground with planning permission and a training complex. Its a dam sight more than he got when he bought Leeds.

Really silly post, football don't work like that, great if it did though, I would like to buy Barca please but don't worry I don't want Messi. who would play for the club. so many problems with this post

It is believed that Chris Hughton has been approached by Cellino about a 3 year contract to manage Leeds

Believable43 Unbelievable48

Good appointment if they can pull it off. knows how to get a team promoted. but not good keeping them up there

Agree4 Disagree1

I wonder wether he will raid Norwich City. and they become our feeder club

Agree5 Disagree0

Coach leeds

Agree3 Disagree0

Think Hughton could do a job -but after getting our fingers burned with Brian, I'd be tempted to stick to a 2-year deal.

Agree2 Disagree2

Yeah so badly burnt with Brian, Really!!

Agree1 Disagree1

06 Jun 2014 07:46:31
Yep, Chapel A, he spent a load of money and put us in the #h*t!!

It doesn't make any sense at all, why get rid of brian for houghton

Well, if all the reports on NN are to be believed its a 3 horse race on saturday, an I don't mean the Derby. Personally I think Gary Mac would make a great coach, managing was too great a task for him I think, but that's just me ;)

I think out the 3 rumoured names (Hughton, Hockaday and McAllister) I would go with McAllister although I also think Paul Hart would be a good shout.

Agree4 Disagree2

Do people really rate gary mac? do I miss something? brought some great players to the club as scout but tactics were off, results were poor and motivation was none exsistant. what am I missing? all I remember is poor league results and our darkest moment with the club losing in first round of fa cup to non league opposition. scout yes anything else no thanks 100's of better coaches out there

Agree2 Disagree2

Wouldn't want any of the 4 mentioned above. My choice would be a proven young manager ready to step up to a bigger club. Step forward Eddie Howe.

Agree7 Disagree4

Agree totally

Agree0 Disagree2

{Ed003's Note - this was in reply to Bermondsey btw.}

We played sexy football under him according to many FL pundits. i'd love to have him back. We were without Beckford that dark dark day remember. He'd scored about 5 that day

Agree3 Disagree1

All the names mentioned don't seem good enough to me. Gary Mac no, hockaday definitely not, the Eddie Howe shout would be good though. But prob not going to be one of the 3 being seen. If I had to choose of the 3 though it would be Chris houghton! Roll on sat!

Agree3 Disagree0

Howe is a manager not a coach and the only place he is proven is at Bournemouth. He didn't set the world light at Burnley.

Agree2 Disagree0

{Ed003's Note - He was shocking there but to be fair that team that went up was mainly his signings.}

Eddie Howe or Chris Hughton

Agree1 Disagree2

05 Jun 2014 21:19:47
So the fact that virtually same squad that Howe had got promoted should tell you everything you need to know about Howes coaching ability!

Agree1 Disagree1

Didnt realise Macca was a scout for Leeds? Just thought he was a good coach who needed a top defensive coach alonside him to get us up. And how can people say he can't motivate players is beyond me. what are they in the dressing room as well! MOT.

Agree2 Disagree2

Corkwhite, I was not in the dressing room but I did see what happened on the pitch which was in my opinion, lack of passion lack of disire, lack of skill and lack of basic ideas (how many times did we conceed the same goal under Gary Mac? every time ball was in the air in our box we conceded which would suggest bad coach as well?) loved him as a player and seems a nice bloke but coach? manager? not for me think I could name 100 people I would rather get the job

Agree4 Disagree1

OK Bermondsey I hear what you saying. Bad goals conceded from coners etc were very poor under Macca for a time but I also remember under Wilko a similar situation when the opposition got a corner a goal was on its way in one particular season. Also think about it. under Bates he literally had no cash to spend. Think Huntingdon as number 1 CB! . It just amazes me some folk seem convinced others are well suited for the job with little or no reason! Howe. done very liitle. Clarke. even less. Hughton or Mackay I could take. But give me an ex Leeds player who knows his stuff. and I believe Macca does. I will take him all day him long. Gary Mc is in the running I believe and is probably the best man for the job as the BOSS wants a British coach and he is, I believe, a good coach. MOT.

Agree0 Disagree3

To be fair, with Cellino in charge, all 3 will be coach at some point in the season

Agree1 Disagree0

You make a good point about wilko Corky. I rated wilko as one of the best in the world at that time but I do remember that season (Sadly). I also agree some are bounding about managers with little to back it up. If I was MC (id be very happy) but I would go for Kenny Jacket or Malky Macky. Both know the league both good with money and good coaches and get the best out of the squad. But then I am not a bonkers Itailan who wants to be in charge of signings, which raises the point if his signings do badly will he sack himself as I am sure he didn't sack many managers in Italy so it is not like he passes the blame is it?

Agree0 Disagree0

Takeover of Cagliari fell through so we might not get the squad overload we were hoping for.

Believable16 Unbelievable14

He has agreed a deal to sell Cagliari to former Inter Milan board member Tommaso Giulini and that the sale is imminent.

We will be definitely be getting quite a few players in. We have released 13 players and selling another 4 probably.

MOT!

Since Benito Carbone's tweet, Hockaday back up to second favourite for manager and Chris Hughton is 4th favourite but Uncle Festa remains at the top of the list with Allegri in third.

Believable11 Unbelievable7

Is this a grand national commentary by any chance?

Who cares what the uninformed press want to guess at, let's just wait and see, same as it ever was?

Official that MC has turned down a bid from Newcastle for Ross

Good intentions from the boss!

L

Believable34 Unbelievable6

Good intentions!
Just depends how much he turned down (in my opinion) anything over £5 mill I'd let him go as he's only had 1 good season and he's no spring chicken development wise. Use the money to get 3 or 4 young players in ;)

Agree1 Disagree3

Lifelong you was right but!

Was on ssn MC turned down a bid from Magpies for Ross, now Magpies have just released a statement saying THEY didn't bid for Ross?
WTF is going on I wonder is MC trying to create a bidding war for Ross?

Agree1 Disagree1

Yet another total lie from the paper beginning with M. Lies, lies and more lies, put two and two together and make 35009

Benito Carbone states before any new players in we must first choose an English manager.

Believable30 Unbelievable4

Hopefully not hockaday

Agree3 Disagree2

Spain
Did he say manager or coach?

Agree1 Disagree0

This is quote from MC on TV "Speaking to tv, Cellino said, 'I have always said I wanted a British coach for this club.

'I am a man of my word and that is still the case.

'I am meeting three British coaches for talks on Saturday and want to get someone in place soon.'
