2001 seems a long time ago, this was the year Leeds made it to the UEFA Champions League. Since then this once mighty club has free falled its way down to it lowest position to League One.
After a promotion back into the championship & Ken Bates selling up, we thought the dark days at Elland Road was behind us when Mr Massimo Cellino took over from GFH. But people need to remember the first thing he did when he acquired the West Yorkshire club was to sack Brian McDermott after a heavy defeat, only to reinstate him a few weeks later. Since the arrival of the infamous Italian, we have gone though 5 managers since April 2014. Cellino isn't called "The Coach Eater" in his native country for nothing.
We should of seen the writing on the wall with this, but as fans we have been blinded with the hope of securing promotion back to the promise land, The Premiership. It's looking more unlikely that this once mighty club will ever get to play on the biggest stage in football anytime soon, especially under the stewardship of Cellino.
Now we have Steve Evens as the head coach and this guy may have done well for Boston United, Crawley Town & Rotherham United with getting these clubs promoted but even he comes with a dubious past with a suspended sentence for tax evasion. Only time will tell if he will be the man for the job, or will he just be the 6th manager on the roundabout of destruction for my club Leeds United, only time will tell?
