Cellino is so suspicious of the number 17 that he had the seats at his former club, Cagliari, taken out and replaced with 16B. Now he has instructed the new Leeds head coach, Dave Hockaday, not to select Paddy Kenny after discovering that the goalkeeper’s birthday is on 17 May and concluding that he is bad luck for the Championship club. Kenny, the second-highest earner at Leeds on £10,000 a week, has been left at home while the other players embark on a pre-season trip to Italy and he will not play for the club again.

Nowt to do with the video going round of Paddy at pre-season training, looking about 22 stone then?

He was weighed...........exactly 17 stones.

Surely Kenny will get a huge payoff? Imagine this one at an employment tribunal!

Totally agree, said it to a mate this morning.

 

What gets me is that by turning up for training 3 stone overweight Kenny had given Leeds the perfect excuse to dismiss him.

 

Instead of which, the chairman doesn't like his birth date!

 

We are really collecting some right weirdos in football these days.

 

I thought that Vincent Tan was about the limit but this Leeds guy looks like giving him a run for his money.

This is going to be great next season,better than Cardiff IMO.

So no doubt we can expect the home match v Birmingham to be switched from Jan 17th?

 

I expect that if Wednesday beat Leeds 17-0 then he'll blame that on bad luck as well.

They say there,s a very fine line between a genius and a madman, take your pick.

It does look like Kenny's Leeds days are numbered, they've just signed 2 goalkeepers.

It's okay he's signed a contract with Covonia
