If anyone thinks Cellinio is going to pass any powers whatsoever to AP then they are deluded. The guy is a control freak and will drive AP out of the job in six months, unless of course there is another play going on here. I doubt AP has the money to sort the mess at Elland Road out on his own, but with the right backing that could be the end game. Given the ban that Cellinio has just had and that he is being investigated again in Italy I wouldn't be at all surprised if he is lining something up to sell the club.

Can he also continue at FC owner? I see no problem with that but expect someone new at the helm in a CEO role in due course.

Yes, that's right.

I can't honestly tell if you were being ironic with your "few meetings and phone calls" comment. If you were being serious it explains why the club persists with the kind of cut-price, bargain basement staff and management strategy it does.

AP is low on cash and budgets for gates of 10k. Gates are lower than 10k. If people leave, you don't replace them but try and get by to make up the income shortfall, or sell your most marketable assets. Quite why people can't grasp these basics but further suggest paying off Radford and recruiting 1-2 top coaches on top, whilst imagining staying away will improve rather than worsen the situation, I have no idea.

Munson doesn't even work for us any more does he?

Or maybe he's not low on cash and this is just idle speculation?

Your friend Seb says we can't pay the players and are stealing from the 150 year fund to make ends meet. It's a reasonable punt. And saying that fans staying away will hurt the club financially is not idle speculation.

He was poached by Widnes!
Tony Sutton left and Lee Jenkinson is now making a name for himself at Leeds, Directors all!

Employ a decent coach and people will come back immediately

I was only reporting what id been told. And your scare mongering is becoming quite nauseating. Its a 50/50 relationship this with club/fans and currently the fans have over supported a poop club for years but are now deciding enough is enough due to the club not fulfilling their 50% of the equation

seb isn't my friend and he talks a load of shoite IMO which probably makes him more likely to be your friend to be fair.

Saying pearson has no money is idle speculation
