Will Buckley to join training tomorrow and only joining officially after Boro game. Will therefore be available right through Christmas period. Very good signing.

Kristopherus · 21-09-2015 7:32pm

Cellino on SS News now.

fermanagh_man · 21-09-2015 8:22pm

WINGERS!!!!

NuckChorris1 · 21-09-2015 8:22pm

Berardi has signed a contract extention too. Good news. Hope MC was sensible on sky sports news.

tfer · 22-09-2015 11:42am

They should have sub-titles when MC is on the telly, I can only catch a word here and there when he talks.
I hope he follows through about buying ER back

I think it was his priority when he arrived, then we were gonna use the Ross McCormack money on it, it was "100%" to be done before November 2014 etc. etc. etc. etc.

I must admit I have little interest in what he says. He is liable to do anything.

Hijpo · 22-09-2015 5:29pm

Byram refused new deal?? Has this only been released now or has it been common knowledge?

I hope it's not the start of things to come

Been out there a while now, well rumoured anyway. Supposedly a significant enough pay cut was offered and MC fell out with his agent so looks like it will be heading to a tribunal when he leaves for free in the summer.

Mushy · 27-09-2015 1:33pm

Fantastic start, 1 down after Nugent accidentally controls with his arm.

Mushy · 27-09-2015 1:48pm

Now Bellusci has an own goal to his name. Ducked and missed header for the first, ducked and nailed a header straight into his own net for the second.

Lamper.sffc · 27-09-2015 2:11pm

Middlesbrough 0 Bellusci 2 :rolleyes:

J Cheever Loophole · 27-09-2015 2:59pm

Appalling defensive display - all absolutely juvenile errors. In general play, Leeds have given as good as they have got.

Bamba would be well advised sorting his studs out for the next game - that's the third time this half that he has slipped.

Mushy · 27-09-2015 3:02pm

Just one of those days where nothing went right, typical. 3-0 flatters Middlesborough.

Lamper.sffc · 27-09-2015 3:20pm

Nothing Uwe could have done about that. Stupid mistakes cost us. Might sound silly saying it considering the score but bar the stupid mistakes we actually played quite well overall.

championc · 27-09-2015 8:12pm

I missed it today. What's the verdict on Botaka ?

About the only player that looked dangerous IMO, played 60 minutes and looked lively. Surprised he was taken off to be honest, especially for the Douk.

On another worrying note, UR comments after the match were cryptic but appeared to suggest MC is still picking some of the team.

RichardoKhan · 28-09-2015 1:38am

I said this time last season that Bellusci was a total liability. Why oh why can Joe public see it but those who pick the team cant? Or could it be still EGO'(s) at play?

championc · 28-09-2015 7:14am

Was there any explanation as to why he replaced Cooper ?

Kristopherus · 03-10-2015 4:14pm

50 mins gone today and no sign of a goal. Brum lead 1-0.

SarahBM · 04-10-2015 8:18pm

To be honest, I think I am going to ignore Leeds til the RWC is over. I will be a happier person in gerenal if I do this.

championc · 05-10-2015 10:43pm

Am i the only one who is beginning to think that Rosler talks a good game, but good players are under achieving ?

I always felt that Grayson got average players to over achieve. While he's struggling at Preston, it's more down to the players he has to work with. If he became unemployed again, i wouldn't say no.

BTW, after ten games, there's 15 pts between first and last. 12 months ago, the gap was 20 pts. A few wins can turn the table on it's head

couerdelion · 07-10-2015 12:38pm

Is players under achieving not a perennial Leeds problem?

I liked Grayson a lot and he would love to come back too but I'll give Rosler a bit more time first. New ideas take time to bed in and he needs to work out who is able to play as he wishes.

We're in desperate need of a midfield general though. An old head to settle the young ones.

Kristopherus · 17-10-2015 5:02pm

Another home defeat today. Methinks another sacking is on the horizon !!!

Lamper.sffc · 17-10-2015 5:32pm

Whats really worrying is teams don't even have to play well to beat us.

Biffo The Bare · 17-10-2015 9:09pm

We are in freefall again, and its not even Christmas.

fermanagh_man · 17-10-2015 10:34pm

Something doesn't add up

Why play Wooton at RB when Byram is fit?

It's almost like Cellino is forcing Uwe not to pick him after all the contract saga

Zaph · 17-10-2015 10:34pm

New club record today apparently - 11 home games in a row without a win. Pretty depressing.

Aaaaaand he's sacked. ....

Yeah Rosler gone, Steve Evans former Rotherham manager taking over supposedly.

Already at training ground, according to SS News.

And the rollercoaster continues

When I saw this up there one Monday it was just inevitable what had happened!

My prediction We'll be having the same press conference by Late Now/Early Dec

I admit I was wrong - out by a month........

RichardoKhan · 19-10-2015 11:07am

& the same will apply to who ever comes in.

Pity SG wasn't available. Bet he will be in a few weeks.

Lamper.sffc · 19-10-2015 11:44am

Why would any decent manager ever want to manage Leeds while that crazy git runs the show. Bring back Bates all is forgiven (joke of course)

Kingp35 · 19-10-2015 11:45am

Yeah no decent manager is going to want to come to us when he knows he will have very little control over signings etc and will be given the boot unless he is an instant success. I feel we are no in a situation where we have to given lower level managers a shot with the hope that they turn out good.

Lamper.sffc · 19-10-2015 12:04pm

What an absolute horrible weekend of sport. If Ireland dont beat Bosnia then Im giving up and joining a monastery. One with no tv, radio or internet. It would just be better for my health

DoctaDee · 19-10-2015 12:33pm

Is it wrong that I don't care anymore ? ...... This Cellino thing isn't working, I'm just glad the club is still in existence and I can get over maybe once or twice for a weekend away - I really have zero expectation for the club under the current regime

I completely understand where you're coming from, but the problem is that things aren't ever going to get any better under Cellino. It's one thing being glad the club is still in existence, but personally I'd rather that it isn't in League Two. That's the only expectation I have under the current regime, and I do care about not wanting that to happen.

19-10-2015 1:45pm

Steve Evans?

Jesus Christ. Good bad or indifferent manager, he's a got a rap sheet of fraud and disciplinary issues that is a headline writer's dream.

If we ask nicely would that Hockaday fellow give us another chance?

"he's a got a rap sheet of fraud" = Should feel right at home with Cellinio then! Could compare methods used & future strategies........

Think I might send my resume into Cellino, hey he might be willing to over look my non football background if I said I was willing to wear sunglasses all the time for my 6 games in charge

Kingp35 · 19-10-2015 4:47pm

You just have to laugh. Cellino has been banned AGAIN by the Football League.

At its recent meeting, the Board of The Football League (with the exception of Chief Executive Shaun Harvey who declared an interest*) considered the position of Leeds United President Massimo Cellino under its Owners' and Directors' test.

In June, Mr Cellino was found guilty by a Court in Sardinia of an offence under Italian tax legislation relating to the non-payment of VAT on the importation of a Land Rover vehicle. This resulted in a fine of €40,000 and the confiscation of the vehicle in question.

Having considered detailed legal advice and the Court’s reasoned judgment, as supplied by Mr Cellino, the Board determined that the decision of the Italian Court constitutes a disqualifying condition under the Owners' and Directors' test.

Mr Cellino has until October 28 to appeal against the Board's decision. Any such appeal would be heard by an independent panel.

The League will make no further comment at this time.

*Shaun Harvey was Chief Executive and a Director of Leeds United between 2004 and 2013.

Ceist_Beag · 19-10-2015 5:34pm

Maybe, just maybe this time he'll just fcuk right off and sell the club ... thought I doubt it!

Magico Gonzalez · 19-10-2015 6:08pm

Someone has been up to know good on Cellino's wikipedia page!

"Cellino was once again disqualified by the Football League on 19th October 2015 for not paying tax on Pies bought for new Leeds manager and serial obesist Steve Evans"

championc · 19-10-2015 6:56pm

Listening to West Yorkshire Sport on BBC Leeds just now, chief sports writer for BBC Sheffield appears to indicate that Evans' appointment could just turn out to be a master stroke, with several promotions at Boston, Crawley and Rotherham. Seems to have a particularly good knack at picking out promising players, as well as getting rid od dissenting troublemakers.

Maybe Cellino is spot on saying Rosler was too nice. He maybe pulled the trigger while he had the chance before his latest ban, and while a few wins would catapult us up the table
