As much as Brian tries to brush over this goal bore of a game with accolades to his star loan keeper, this was hardly an impressive display of brinkmanship for our prospective owner in waiting. I’m looking at this picture of Cellino, my pall, Deano took at the game at Middlesbrough on Saturday and I can’t help but feel Cellino’s eyes drilling through the back of Brian’s shiny cranium. Even this side on profile, his presence feels imposingly menacing, marauding, meticulous, even. Despite the grey backdrop, Cellino wears his shades looking on to the pitch below with a scowl rather than a cheeky whats-a-matter with you face. Luckily those shades are black, rather than the rose-tinted spectacles GFH have been wearing in the last year. It does make you wonder, what Cellino made of his first game, watching Leeds. Let’s face it. It was hardly Technicolor football. Brian may be correct at the end of the season that this draw might be an important away point, but probably he, like most fans, felt
this was a real big chance to show we are still a side capable of promotion.
In order for us to be in the promotion playoff mix, there needs to be a very large number of unlikely variables required to happen, before we can dream of promotion to the premier league. The most important being this takeover saga being completed for all parties. The feeling is though, that in the boardrooms of all the English top flight clubs, Leeds owners are not looking likely to win any popularity contests. Perhaps the support Brian was talking about was more the disdain that the games authorities have for Leeds United’s ownership including currently, before and prospectively. They say in Wales [not that I’m welsh] it’s either been raining, raining or about to rain and being a Leeds fan at the moment is a bit like the recent flooding’s. We took a bit of a battering from last year’s floods and this year we are just waiting patiently to see how far the water levels will rise to. Luckily for us our old matey Shaun Harvey is running the environment agency as we sit here with waste water rising. Sitting patiently in our life belts [and very handy whistle] we watch the second hand floral sofa floats out of the house and down the street. Luckily for us, we have Shawny boy, giving us top priority to deliver that much needed speedy disposal of logistical planning and over-riding control over our entire destiny.
It’s very difficult to say when Cellino might next take his shades off. For all we know he wears them to bed or in the shower or whilst doing impressions of Eric Clapton in the mirror. It is also very difficult to assume what Cellino’s assessment of Saturday’s proceedings was but let’s hope we can somehow find a formula for success away from home. Be braver than just winning a point. This week be radical and work intensively in training with our midfielders. Do something different play moody Diouf or wonder-boy Mowatt or take a punt on the talented Walters. Take a risk! Go for it! Otherwise the frustrations of drifting aimlessly in the middle of swampland might take over the current take over.
