To Mr Umbers
I've followed my team for over forty years and seen happy times and sad. One thing I have never seen is the total mismanagement of our club and disrespect of an individual when a person was in charge of the team. Your treatment of a decent man and a good coach belies belief, you may have taken away his Assistant and told lie after lie about the situation within the club but one thing you will not stop is the support of the fans for Neil Redfearn. One thing for certain is that he will be remembered long after your corrupt control of the football club. The authorities need to look into the events after Massimo Cellino was supposed to have no control over the club. People like you give football a bad name and make fans leave in numbers. This may not make any difference to how you work but one day 'karma' has a way of finding dishonest people like yourself. You disgust me. A loyal fan. Keith Ingham

I would like Cellino to sell up and leave. I thought from day one that his was a bad appointment and I stand by that. We need a new owner and a MANAGER who can buy the players he wants without interference.

The open letter from keith ingham is SPOT ON. I HAVE SUPPORTED LEEDS for 52years and I totally agree with everything he says. I also agree with John Davey. As I was telling friends and relatives last year, I do not think an egomaniac/megalomaniac "owner" would ever be good for any club let alone Leeds United. A millionaire owner does not guarantee stability. Get him out. J. Kelly

If its true what Thompson called Salerno he deserves to be suspended. i would be if i called my head of department that. If he had concerns he should have taken them to Redfearn, his line manager. If anyone has Taken Redfearn out of the loop its Thompson who has shown him no respect by going above his head without letting him know.

As you're in the know, what exactly did Thompson call Salerno? And please tell us the context in which this all happened. Do you think it may have been borne out of frustration at the conditions Thompson and Redfearn were having to work under? You only have to look at the way Redfearn is still being treated by the 'management'.

Well said. Cellino had better get his act together, that's if he does come back. Personally, I don't think he is because he is going to be brought down again in Italy and this time there is no return.

Redders has done a professional job unlike many others. Hope the young footballers go on to do him and leeds proud.

The Pantomime season should be over, but at LUFC, it goes on and on.

When you sign on to be a head coach and work under a sporting director then you should not be surprised that you are nothing but the coach. Your job is to prepare your team for each game.

We knew when cellino took over he changes managers more often than his ties. Redders is being treated like shite and the club has lost all its great staff. The few he's retained are in fear of losing their jobs so act on his every command...... If Redders goes we'll lose our great young squad and any chance of promotion. We NEED our acadamy, it's a requirement when premiership team.....but it's being distroyed. Our club is being distroyed.

I hope that it doesn't come to that, but I'm not overly optimistic!

Neil Redfearn is probably the best appointment as head coach the club has made over the last 12 years or so. As an 8 year old I started following Leeds United in 1961 just prior to the greatest ever time in our history.

If Redfearn and the 'kids' go that's me finished with the club I'm sorry to say, and I'm sure I won't be the only one!

I have been a Leeds United supporter for over 40 years, we have had our ups and downs and as an adult I have dealt with that, but how do I explain to my 2 boys of 8 and 12 what is going on.

I've been a fan since 1956 I sat on my dad's shoulders on Lowfields Road terrace. I am now 65 and have also seen highs and lows. Now really low. I know a lot of people say they are in the know but I have heard a really strong rumour but from people who are in the know. Usual thing I can't name my source. Apparently Cellino wants out and has asked an agent to find a buyer. Apparently 4 parties are interested. I have no idea who. I do know that a Red Bull rep was in the east stand for the Norwich game. Fingers crossed.
