CONFIRMED: Brian McDermott sacked by #lufc

Told that McDermott is "shocked and devastated" by the way the last week has gone. Shameful.

The Cellino legacy begins...

not agreed as an outsider, think he should have been given far more time ...

So does everyone else out here, mate, but the ownership situation has been a farse in the last couple of weeks, and it's changes from top to bottom with the new guy.

As much as it was always predicted, and as much as we weren't doing great, this feels absolutely devastating. Can only feel deep sympathy for McDermott.

Ruddy disgraceful. Doesn't deserve this, been a decent manager. Only a month ago we were in the playoffs. Can't believe this rubbish. GFH are massive twits, all this PR rubbish - they've clearly never cared about the club, just about cashing in (yes, I know they're an investment bank). McDermott seems to genuinely care about the club, he's looked to re-embed traditions, etc. Can't believe this rubbish. Cellino wants to replace a man with a promotion to the Premier League to his name to who his mate with two years of Serie C experience. Absolute joke, somewhat want McCormack to hand in a transfer request to send a message.

Can only imagine the chants tomorrow, Bring McDermott Back!

Absolutely disgusted. Haigh, Patel, Alrayes and the rest of GFH should hang their head in shame for handing control to this idiot. I hope they never show their face again. Whatever you think of McDermotts performance, he deserved so much better. Prepare for a revolving door of stooge coaches/ managers while the Cellinos use the club as their personal plaything, choosing their own players.

Absolutely shocking, this Italian is nothing short of a joke.

Cellini Out

very sad day. appreciate all the work he put in to the club. deserves so much more than what he got at leeds and reading in the last year.

Not impressed today, i feel like giving up on Leeds United with this Italian in charge. The way this has been dealt with and the way McDermott has been treated is shameful, this whole thing stinks. Cellino has already blocked the transfer of Varney??

The thought of being managed by Italians, having a team of Italians on the pitch... No thanks! Always been proud of the fact we have been a British team with mostly British players... and i guess that's all about to change.

Not a care in the world has been given about our club in this deal... Sadly, all down to money!


Gutted!
