Cellino-please leave OUR club

17/5/2015

Following the circus that was last weeks press conference, and th shocking interview in the M*rror (still hate that paper), there looks to be no end in site to the destruction that Massimo Cellino is wrecking.

His treatment of the likeable Brian McDermott last season was shocking, but he seems to have notched his ego up several levels now. Neil Redfearn, a good man, has been treated with nothing but contempt. Redfearn is a man that 'gets' Leeds United. He is one of us-a fan. He did, when he was allowed, a fantastic job to pull us away from relegation. I'm not suggestion Redders is the best coach/manager in the world-but give the man a chance. When he had his coaching team in place, and a free hand to pick who he wanted, we were flying-surely this man, who has brought through such a fantastic crop of youngsters (and there are plenty of others behind this batch too), should be given a chance?

But no-Cellino, in his bizarre little world, doesn't seem to grasp it-the man is dillusional, and you've genuinely got to be concerned for his mental health judging on this last week.

There are not many genuine people left at our club. Good people like Paul Dews was released a year ago, Matt Child's couldn't work there and left (and was doing some fantastic work in building bridges). Redfearn seems as good as gone, whilst the underrated Lucy Ward will no doubt follow (the work she does with the academy is invaluable).

We are then left with a soulless club-one that really doesn't feel like mine any more. The one tiny ray of hope is Adam Pearson, but I honestly cannot see him lasting long with a loose cannon like Cellino.

The only answer is for Cellino to go-after owners like Risdale, Kranser, Bates and GFH, I honestly think this guy has done the impossible and made me wish for one of those to come back.

Can I spend any more money at our club? Will I attend any games this season? For the first time iny 44 years, I am questioning it. Never been so disillusioned-yet Cellino doesn't seem to care..

Adam Pearson is doing the do dillegence at the Club for some new owners he will be part of. That can be the only explanation of him coming to the Club.

You're just guessing none of us know this. I sincerely hope you are correct though.

A few months ago I wouldn't have thought I'd be saying this now but....PLEASE Mr. Harvey, use every underhand tactic you and the Football League can think of to remove this maniac from our club forever.

If Redders is fired, I will be cancelling my season ticket.... 1st time in 40 years

Cellino is realising that Leeds United are far bigger than he can ever be. He acts like a BABY, throws his toys out of the crib, and blames Redders for his own inadequate weaknesses. The fans know Redfern IS Leeds United through and through and cellino sees this as taking away HIS limelight, he can't bear to see fans respect Redfern which he somehow sees as an attack on him... madness!

Redders is not up to the job. Like McDermott he has lived on borrowed time. We were lucky in many games we won. We did not play dominant, free flowing and entertaining football.

He has take us backwards whilst playing internal politics instead on concentrating on making players better.

Absolutly right bb, redfern should never have got the job. I'd rather have any of the managers that have been linked

redfern did a decent job with what he had in the poor conditions . i would like to see him get the full season to see what he can do . so what if we wasnt dominant in the games . he got the players defending better and taking there chances when they came . celino needs to give who ever is incharge enough money to improve .cant see this happening under him .

You talk a load of bull if he still had his number 2 and got players he wanted we would have been a lot better team

"He is one of us-a fan". So sorry, I don't want a fan to be in charge of my club ... I want a knowledgeable, professional coach / manager who will approach his job in that way to achieve the best for LUFC. Over the years, we have had too many "fans" who are ex players / lifelong fans as managers / coaches and their collective success is minimal ... sadly,Neil Redfearn falls into this category, and, todate,I don't believe I have seen enough to convince me that he's the person to take the club forward.

he turned a team that couldn't barely win a game to a team that puts 100% in and win give him time .

Sorry badras ... the reality is, as I see it, is that we were overrun in many games, "got lucky" in a few and managed to come away with the points ala Bournemouth and Middlesbrough. It would be difficult to say that we dominated teams, perhaps with the exception of Huddersfield.

Neil Redfearn ... P36 - W14 - D8 - L14 ... perhaps Neil picked the teams for the wins / draws and the owner picked the teams for the defeats.

Giving a 100% or "we put a shift in" should be a given for all professional footballers and I would like better from my team ... the squad was there, Neil Redfearn said so to take this club to the play-offs and beyond ... what happened?

I was in a bar in Naas a few weeks ago after Punchestown festival and got chatting to a business man that said he was best mates withPearson and he was putting a group together to buy the club, he is back for this reason. I to am falling out of love with Massimo! Got to say I don't think Redders is up to the job of getting us back to the prem, I also believe that even with the lunatic in charge the draw of managing Leeds would still get Jimmy Floyd, Gus or Warbutton chompin at the bit for the job.

The man is an ego maniac, the only place my money will go until he's gone is up the road at Headingley watching the rhinos. There is a well run club where the supporters are valued by the club.

Give him a chance. You don't like what he is doing? You buy the club. Oh right you can't afford it. Get behind the chairman, team and soon to be new manager. Redfearn is a poor manager.

Tim e for Cellino to move on. He simply does not have the skills to run a large football club. He can't even get tge culture of Leeds United. He is on a loser now, make no mistake! One man, no matter how rich snpd powerful, can cancel out the long established history and culture of this great club! Massimo, just piss off back to Florida!

This pice is interesting from the President(MC):

MC: "To sell the club you need six months to do due diligence. What would we do for six months if I was selling the club?"

Hire the person doing the due diligence so he can have peace doing his job. But the President can not stay calm and acts like he have the whole World against him.

We need stability, something MESSimo will never bring. NR & ST needed a chance without chaos in the background. No due dilligence done, injured players on loan, ST sacked with no reason given, poor communication, weird, inane ramblings at press conference, micromanagement and undermining managers, courtcases due to tax evasion & possible fraud, stripping staffing to inadequate levels, falling out with competent staff. This is NOT the way to run an ambitious club. I really hope Cellino is bluffing and will leave soon. He is not good for LUFC.

Neil redfern needed Thompson reinstated and a few new players to bolster squad, stability and this season could have been great for us.

it is an absolute discrace where are lust and the membership never mind all the rest of our fans.

at the cricket.

protest peacefully and with passion.

All White

Agreed. It would take a concerted effort from LUST, Official Fan Club and other fans. Must be passionate & peaceful. Perhaps a large on-line petition also thousands of fans writing weekly letters asking him to leave. Otherwise he has the summer with no big crowds and on social media we just talk/complain to eachother.
