McDermott Parted Company with Leeds

[Aces]

No disrespect at all who disagrees with this view but personally I believe as much about that old excuse 'mutual consent' and 'amicable' as I do most politicians ie not very much. With all his vague snipes and criticisms of the club and the manager, Cellino SEEMS to have been trying to force McDermott out for quite some time now. That is my opinion but the numerous 'nice' comments from Cellino, especially about the manager, get less and less believable as time presses on.

You might be right, I do think though, it's better for BM and us that he has gone, it's been horrible for him and I can imagine it's a huge relief for him.

Yes, I might be wrong too Nope, IMHO, it's never better to retreat/give in until you feel you have done your best and been allowed to do your best. McDermott deserved better, that's my thoughts on it, and he deserved a proper chance to put things right, some of them caused by him, most not. I'll shut up about it now, nothing to be changed just because I'm whingeing about it

I for one agree totally with what you say. Cellino pi$$ed me off with his attack on McDermott in a calendar news interview, he (Cellino) was less than pleased BM had gone on holiday, a pee poor excuse at best as he must have known the manager would need some kind of break after vall the flack of recent weeks.

While I welcome Cellino to ER and hope things work out, I can see shades of the one time Hearts owner creeping in, a lunatic who wants everyone to dance to his tune or he takes his bat hoe, and god help the club IF he turns out that way.

Need to give it a day or two in case this is a case of BM wanting to leave because he has another job lined up. You never know in this game.

[Year Zero ITK]

I do!





* I don't really

[Ian Harte89]

between all possible ways, the consensual termination was the best way to close the relation

maybe there will be behind the other, but I'm happy that Cellino and McDermott have used tones very accommodating and friendly at a sensitive time to manage like this

McDermott could possibly deserve another chance, but the separation is not a scandal and it is normal that Cellino want to choose a trainer that feels more of his trust

Now we must decide what to do and not to mistake the choice of the coach, going to take an experienced manager (not old though) and maybe with a good level of profile

Anyway, good luck Brian!

[Selby White]

Like others I feel for Brian and wish him luck for the future.

However it is the right time to part company the football just hasn't been good enough.

[USA for Leeds]

Starting over again.

Yay.

It sounds like Cellino has a philosophy and a way he wants the club to be run, and a way he wants them to play. If that's the case, the manager needs to be able to implement that. If he can't, he needs to go. But I'm still tired of rebuilding all the time.

Thanks and good luck for the future Brian.
Bottom line is MC wants a coach and BM wants to manage. Only one outcome when neither will budge. Glad it seems amicable.
A nice swift appointment will be good so the club can move forward and rebuild.

I think Cellino is going to have be VERY swift and very clever in whoever he chooses to appoint, especially if he is to back up his over ambitious thinking of PL football by 2016. The club has a hell of a long way to go before then and probably a total rebuild squad wise, with the exception of two or three players.
