Have all his decisions been bad though? He bolstered a poor squad with some decent players Silvestri, Antenucci, (Bianchi and even Doukara started well enough). Many raved about Bellusci and Cooper early doors and Montenegro, Adryan and Del Fabro looked like they might be great acquisitions. However, in the case of the latter three, we don't know because they have barely kicked a ball. Redfearn has stuck with what he knows, sometimes with success (Cook, Byram), oft times not (Morison, Sharp, - surely the lowest scoring pair of strikers in the Championship. If Cellino was pulling all the strings wouldn't he have insisted all his imports played regularly?Frankie wrote:When Cellino bought the club, he wasn't the only option, there was a tleast one other party that was a viable option, GFH, chose Cellino for whatever reason - dubious at best and the other groups were discredited, by them becasue they wanted to sell to Cellino.
Cellino has apparently only lent the money to the club, so we are really not that much better off. Celllino is now becoming more and more of a liability. He has made himself the manager, but he really should have sacked himself ages ago, due to his poor footballing decisions, his miscalculation of what we need to succeed in the Championship and his atrocious treatment and poor support for all of the 'coaches' under his 'management'.
Just because we have had a decade of crap, it shouldn't mean that we continue to accept crap, just becasue it is purpoted to be not as bad as the crap we had before!
Remember some of the great players our last manager brought in - Norris, Hunt, Kebe, Stewart - no better than Cellino's (actually a lot worse - a load of journeymen filling their pockets).
Okay he got Hockaday and Milanic wrong (although the latter never real had chance) but we were doing very badly and in danger of relegation - the fans on the terraces didn't want them and once that becomes apparent their days are numbered. He has stuck by Redfearn in the face of a mostly poor record (10 wins in 31 and 4 home defeats on the trot when he has been picking 'his' players.
It's not all Cellino others are culpable for our poor season but we are no worse off than 12 months ago, in fact I think our squad is much stronger and with one or two acquisitions in the summer could tilt for promotion, although not with Redfearn in my opinion, as I don't personally think he has the tactical nous to be number one (assistant, maybe but I don't think he'd take it)
It's easy to paint Cellino as the villain of the piece but we all know what a scapegoat is and that's what I think is happening at the moment. As I said - he himself deserves longer, new owners will not necessarily be better ones if history repeats itself.
Anyway, Cellino is the enemy here, not fellow Leeds fans, though there's no need for the abusive chants but they'll never stop.
