I'll be honest this isn't ground-breaking news. We all assumed it, some of us were certain. But now it's official. Our not-so-beloved owner Massimo Cellino is undeniably crazy. Or moito pazzo if the man himself is reading.

After last week's confusing and useless press conference we were almost certain that the Italian was a bit loco as he ranted for an hour about anything and everything sat beside his new lap-dog Adam Pearson, he has now launched a scathing attack on Neil Redfearn and Leeds fans in an interview with the Sunday Mirror.

In the unprovoked attack, Cellino accused Redfearn of turning the fans against him. "Neil does the Leeds fan's salute, he challenged me. He tried to play the fans against me to keep his place."

Redfearn Salute

The salute is seen as a sign of Redfearn's solidariaty with the Leeds fans in uncertain times. In this unprovoked attack, Cellino accused Redfearn of being a "bad coach" with a "weak personality", but he's not a "bad guy". How nice of you Massimo.

It now seems certain that Redfearn will leave the club, with Cellino seemingly revoking the offer of returning to run the academy after stating "we already have two youth coaches". 

Redfearn guided the club to safety after taking over in November with the club sat in 18th position. It seems his loyalty and performance will not be rewarded after a complete breakdown of trust between the chairman and manager. Redfearn still seems to hold the support of the vast majority of Leeds fans and this latest episode in the ongoing drama at Elland Road will only worsen the fans' trust of the Italian owner. 

The ongoing Redfearn vs. Cellino saga will clearly continue, with the manager currently remaining tight-lipped on his situation and on his opinion of Cellino, however it would seem that the end is nigh for Neil at the club, and the Crazy Cellino regime is only just beginning.

It's official, Cellino is crazy!
