    Leeds Cellino cost cutting

    I just read that Leeds owner Massimo Cellino has closed the canteen at their training ground and ordered the players to bring packed lunches as a cost cutting exercise.
    On the other hand he is dismayed that they do not have their own coach to take them to matches so he's buying one!
    Ai!! these crazy Italians eh?

    Not true. They have been having some work done on the training ground and didn't feel it was worth opening the full facility up because they were flying out to Italy after a couple of days.

    Living in Sheffield we get Look North from Leeds. The story is a few weeks old. Cellino has been questioning why there were so many support staff at the training ground when the players were not there at the end of last season.
    He gave them a date to return when the players reported back for pre-season. The players came back a few days days before the canteen staff returned and were told to bring their own lunch. The manager laughed it off and said that he had brought an apple.
    More of a concern if I was a Leeds fan was that the manager said that the squad was top heavy and they would be looking to reduce its size.

    League One here they come I hope.
