Pacey football with players moving the ball and running. I don't care about results. Seriously, next season I just want to see Leeds United play football again. It's been since the year we finished 7th in the Championship.
I don't want another dire hoofball season.

Hoofallday? No thanks!

Cellino has already spent tens of millions on buying the club and paying off huge debts, I doubt that it is possible for him to sell the club as a going concern at all at present, never mind to make any profit on it. The only way is for him to gain us promotion which will then catapult us in to the mega rich clubs in Europe category, like where we were before. If he does this and makes a huge profit, selling us to some mega rich Oil Shieks, then that would be fantastic, we all would be winners.
We are Leeds, we have to believe our new players are good enough, encourage and support them and help them grow in to a team to be reckoned with. MoT

Can you explain what assets you think Cellino might be able to strip and also why he's cleared debts etc?

There are reports that there are more unpleasant financial surprises at the club which Cellino's accountant has to sort out, and maybe more in the pipeline too. If there's one thing about him which I feel confident about, it's that he ain't no asset stripper. I suggest you take that little monkey on your shoulder and take it to the vets for a good 'talking to' :D

In 40 years of supporting Leeds I've usually had some kind of expectation at the start of each season whether it be champions, promoted, relegated or mid table mediocrity, theres usually been something I expected, but this season I really do not know what to expect, other than the fact that it's going to be 'colourful'!!!

I'm backing Cellino, I really think he understands us and I genuinely believe he wants what we want, but whether he can deliver or not remains to be seen.

Like I've already said, I don't know what to expect for next season but I hope and expect that the next 2 or 3 seasons will see Cellino re-build, re-united and restore a little pride among the Elland Road faithful. What I DON'T expect is for it to be any worse than the last 10 seasons. MOT

I expect a difficult first couple of months as everything settles down and the players learn to adjust to a newer more attractive passing game. Then I expect a charge up the table finishing just outside the play-offs, followed by a 2015/16 season of brilliant football seeing us go up as Champions. Simple really. :D

I expect a top half finish, after three years in mid table obscurity, at the top of the bottom half.

The first of those being the fact Leeds were supposed to pay the bulk of Morisons wages while he was at Millwall but because of our dire financial state we didnt and Millwall ended up paying all his wages. Now they want the money back from us. :thumbdown:
IF THIS CLUB WAS A RACEHORSE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN SHOT LONG AGO TO PUT AN END TO ITS SUFFERING
