'Football daft' Cellino performing an excellent job whilst handicapped by the FL

Neil Redfearn has today supported the role of Massimo Cellino and says the Italian is taking the club “in the right direction” and is acting in the “best interests” of the club. 

He says that Cellino is “football daft” and “loves the club”, he’s here for the “long haul” and that the comings and goings this week hasn’t really affected the training ground and the optimism around the club.

The Football League should take note of comments like this, valuable words from someone influential in the club, it gives them a better idea of what it’s like to be involved day-to-day with Massimo Cellino and Leeds United.

Redfearn says that ever since Cellino started talking to him, back when he was Academy Manager, he was really taken in by the President’s ideas and ambitions. He says that Cellino is solely aiming for Premier League football and believes that his side has been showing signs of becoming a team capable of Cellino’s goals.

I agree with everything that Redfearn has said and I, along with many fans, fully support what Massimo Cellino has done for Leeds United. He’s put us on a level footing both on and off the pitch - but despite this - The Football League is doing everything in their power to undo it all and leave us to crumble.

I can’t imagine how hard it is to invest money into a club while your ownership remains up in the air. If the league would just let us get on with things; realise that Massimo Cellino is doing a great job; and give us the best opportunity to prosper as a club it would make Premier League football seem a lot closer – but instead - they completely disregard the fact that they are supposed to protect Leeds United and give the club the best chance of achieving success. 

We go and beat the league leaders and gather a bit of momentum then bang… they come in and try to destroy us again.  Cellino seems confident of winning his appeal and let’s hope, for the sake of Leeds United, he does.

Everybody hates Leeds United and The Football League’s right up at the top of the list. They’re doing their best to destroy us – but they never will.

Hopefully we can carry our form into Ipswich despite their disgraceful effort to halt us.
