Massimo Cellino - The New Owner of Leeds United

So the news we've all been waiting for has finally broken. Massimo Cellino, as it now seems, is going to be the new owner of Leeds United. This could be the start of a new era at our club. Cellino can't possibly be any worse than GFH but knowing our luck he won't be as good as it appears he could be. But that's not to say I don't believe in him.

When I heard that crazy phone call Mr Cellino had with the now famous White Leeds Radio I might have heard a deranged, mad-man but I also heard truth, and nothing but the truth.

It appears that Massimo is still in talks with TogetherLeeds regarding a team-up to buy the club together, most likely with Cellino attaining that bit more of the biscuit. The more this could be a good thing as you're getting good football people and then someone with heaps of money I really can't see it running smoothly. Boardroom fall-outs seem inevitable under a deal like this especially with a man like Massimo Cellino leading the ranks and I heard that Mike Farnan can also be a bit demanding at times.

Brian McDermott will be a man relieved of a lot of unneeded pressure, having been continually asked week-in-week-out about Cellino's proposed takeover. Now this isn't a manager's job and with results not going our way that pressure was only piling up even more.

This has been a horrible few months for us fans but now with this very positive appeal verdict we've been highly anticipating is the biggest sleeping giant in England finally about to be awakened? Let's hope so.

Also, there's one last thing. Today is a day of remembrance for Leeds United and for football as a whole. This day 14 years ago, two Leeds fans, Chris Loftus and Kevin Speight were violently killed in the city of Istanbul. Our thoughts are with their families and I'm sure if Chris and Kev were with us today they would be delighted at the outcome of the appeal. #RIPChrisAndKev
