Former Leeds United manager Neil Redfearn believes the club can’t move on if Massimo Cellino continues to be in charge. Redfearn was one of a number of managers Cellino has hired since purchasing the club in 2014.

Writing in a column for FourFourTwo (subscribe here), Redfearn revealed he has a great affection for Leeds United, and thinks if he had remained at the club then he could have moved the them forward. Redfearn said he hopes somebody can take over Leeds United so they can be great again as he thinks under Cellino this can’t happen.

“Leeds is my club and I honestly believe that I could have made them great again. If somebody gets hold of that club, then wow – they could be big. But that person isn’t Massimo Cellino, I’m afraid,” said the former Leeds United boss.

Cellino has been a controversial figure since arriving in England over two years ago, and during that time he’s had his run-ins with the football authorities.

Leeds United currently stand 11th in the Championship, and will be hoping current manager Garry Monk can take them further up the table, with a shot at the play-offs still very much within grasp.
