Laughable Leeds United Once Again in the Limelight

The fiasco of Leeds United seems endless. I was enjoying the peace for a few days where the only thing to worry about was our younger players’ involvement with the England set-up. Now, the powers that be, have once again struck, taking the more than familiar step of disgracing our club, making us look more like a team from Serie B in Italy rather than the mighty Leeds United from England.

Steve Thompson has been suspended by the club, allegedly by Nicola Salerno. The reasons are unknown but it has left Redders seriously considering his future. There’s been absolutely no indication as to what might have happened but hopefully things will start to flourish.

Bizarrely, there’s even been reports that the letter informing Steve Thompson of his suspension contained SPELLING MISTAKES, believed to be from Nicola Salerno. Salerno is our Director of Football, but he’s basically our scout. A scout suspending your assistant manager. How laughable is that?

Redfearn has also been more or less forbidden to play Mirco Antenucci for the remainder of the season – the bearded striker is two goals away from earning an automatic extension to his contract which is due to run out next summer.

The club, for some reason or another, are not willing to commit to it, showing either a lack of ambition, maybe they think he’s too old or maybe they’re planning to bring in another 15 Italians on season long loans with a view to a permanent - which we probably aren’t willing to commit to either.

When Cellino came along, I was more than happy and have always fully supported him. I’m one of the younger fans and to be honest, I’ve never seen as much hope and promise than what I did with Cellino. I’ve been ever so used to Ken Bates and GFH that I can’t remember what it feels like to have stability. I'm beginning to see how all this craziness is never going to work.

Cellino is overly enthusiastic and controlling, everything has to be done by him or else the whole club would get sacked.

The question is: With Cellino being banned, is he really the one making these decisions that came to fruition today?

Our club is becoming more and more the centre of the national press, I suppose it always has been...

But surely, maybe one day before I die, we’ll have stability and be looking forward to playing Real Madrid in the last sixteen of the Champions League.
