Again, mutual consent does not give the same payments as being terminated.

We'd have been a laughing stock this season if Brian had have walked away after been fired. Would any manager have came close to agreeing to work with Leeds at that time? Would we have had the money if they did? 'just as well for football'... I know Brian didn't exactly set the world on fire but he had a passion and with proper backing would have done a hell of a lot better, based on pre Christmas form (i.e. before the crap hit the fan at the club. Again.) He'll do well enough at another 'football' club. Even if he is receiving the financial benefits of being fired of which he isn't because he hasn't... he will go to another club within months because his passion is football.

We had a four, possibly a five. We've rolled it hoping for a guaranteed six. Sure, what's the worst that could happen?

we had our best game when he was sacked the players and coaches didn't know Brian was coming back during our great win and they performed brilliantly and also why did we need to get another manager to come in straight away we had coaches available to take over as caretakers until things behind the scenes was sorted.

No need for the offensive language, Twiggs.

Pretty disappointed for Brian, feeling that he never got a proper chance to show us what he could do here. Maybe it was the right decision, but we'll never know how far he could have gone with proper backing now...

I think an ex-player who's done their coaching badges should be in next. If Cellino's going to be the one controlling the players in and out, and the one picking the team, we ought to have someone with passion for the club in the dugout (I know Brian had passion for the club too, but ah well...).

Beg Pardon???

Where have I used offensive language??

Spurs call themselves "the yids". Like we call ourselves "vile animals"..Stop looking for offence where none exists. FFS.

Yid is an offensive term. Doesn't matter who uses it... Would have been just as quick to say 'Spurs forum', and to the same effect.

I really thought BM would have done better given what he did at Reading . I don't remember clueless tactics and gutless surrender being par for the course at the Madjeski ? Clearly a man of integrity and should be respected as such . Relieved he's gone . On the other hand goodness knows what'll happen now .

Come on Twiggs....Genghers is right the word "yid" is an offensive term, as for us Leeds fans labelling ourselves "vile" i personally don't wish to be associated with chants relating to peado/vile animals, etc, i detest the horrible songs

Soon turned sour though and, despite the immensely difficult circumstances he had to work under, there was no excuse for some of the dreadful performances we dished out in the early part of this year.

Good luck Brian. Good decision Cellino........although you might have handled it in a more dignified manner. BUT, please don't now think that Carbone is the answer!!

Not sure he could have handled it much better! The club statement quoting Cellino speaks highly of the egg. Things have obviously been going on in the background that we as fans are unaware of. He's gone now so all we can do is look to the future and hope for better things.

I think this is a decision we may come to regret.

I've always felt we needed a clean sweep starting from top to bottom if we wish to move forward

So sorry to have offended you by taking offence at your offensive language.

As far as I know the Spurs fans taking on the moniker of Yid Army was to embrace the Jewish fan base and to cleverly beat abuse from other fans. I'm afraid I'm with Twiggy on this one, his comment implied no derogatory connotations to anyone of Yiddish origin.

Back on topic, about the man we deemed the egg (no offence to anyone who might find offence in comparing a follicle-challenged man to a shelled object. None taken I notice.) His heart was with Leeds. He had the capacity but not the support. I sincerely doubt our next coach will have the same understanding and passion. Cellino is passionate and eccentric, but a character like that always needs a level headed man to ying his yang.

I'd be content enough getting rid of McDermott, an overall change can be a good thing but only if we were to get a proper manager in of greater quality. I still don't, however, like where this is headed.

Oh, I agree, the statement shows a lot of mutual respect between the two. I think the actual parting has been handled well. What I meant was that Cellino obviously knew that McD was not his man and, when the season was over he should have addressed the issue, rather than ignoring Brian and not being clear about what was happening. I know he's got a lot of other crap to deal with regards the club's finances but all the "he's on holiday....I can't contact him....we don't have a manager" stuff was disrespectful and unnecessary.

As I say, a parting of the ways is clearly the right thing and ultimately the statement and PR has been positive. I'm glad he's moving on.

Anyone else think the timing of doing it now and not as soon as the season had ended is related to this week's sale of Cagliari and initial £5m payment to Massimo?

Once again United are in the news for all the wrong reasons,i felt McDermott was never given a true chance in all my years I have known any manager of any club have to put up with what he did he was a true gentleman at all times I hope he goes on to have success at his next club.Why would any manager worth his salt take over leeds I suspect it will be some untried yes man who dare not cross the owner.I think we are not in for the good times we all hope for a long time the club will continue to have money troubles for a while to come.We may end up with a lot of second rate high ti players and heaven forbid Carbone gets the coaches job because all he will be is a yes man.Think I might go up to bookies and see what price I can get for relegation because I am sure we will finish up lower than last season.As regards to season ticket this year I am waiting until after June 9th before I part with any money because if it all goes tits up you can bet your life the football legue will find some way of hitting us.
