I think Cellino is out of order. Maybe Byram would have signed on if the contract wasn't demanding a reduction in wage! I don't know many footballers that would sign a new contract for a lesser wage. Now Cellino going public is unprofessional.

Byram hasn't exactly put effort in this season which is also unprofessional just because he wants to move

Opta stat shows that Byram has created the most chances for Leeds this season. I wouldn't call that not putting in any effort.

Cellino, is the one in the wrong here,making this public. let's face facts no player would want his agent to negotiate a pay cut,any agent doing so would find himself sacked.Would anyone on here take a pay cut if your boss asked you?

lesser wage. you sure? also MC can not win. when this club was all cloak and dagger people moaned that fans kept in dark. now we have mr honest and out in the open people complain that Mc is being too honest and open. what can the poor man/savoiur do? SB has always been little overrated for me. get him to sign or make him rot. that is what all players who refuse to sign should happen. no other job would stand for it. and he ain't even played that well for a good year

Re SB,he doesn't have to take our offer and we don't have to pay him what he thinks he is worth. If we pay too much for 1 player then others will ask for more and we as a club get into trouble again, so I am happy we as a club take this stance.

We all knew SB was going anyway as it is his right to want prem football, just don't ask us to pay over the odds. I am not upset he has done well for us, we should sell in January but his stock is falling a bit as form not great this year so will be interesting who really comes in for him and at what price.

If MC invests the cash then I am fine with the whole thing, players move all the time it no biggie really.
Of course people will try and bring up stuff if SB gets dropped but there is a good chance of that if his form does not pick up when Will B comes and the Wiz gets up to speed. I'm sure people will say MC picks team if SB dropped but that is just lazy thinking, look at his current form and he is due to be dropped soon I think, nowt to do with contract failed talks.

The thing is dG, we didn't offer to pay him over the odds. Reports say his wage is in the 12k region, and we were asking him to take a pay cut. In reference to BW, I like it when he is open about stuff, but it is unprofessional to hang one of your players out to dry in public.

How do you think this will affect team morale? And as a player would you trust Cellino? I was a big Cellino supporter at first but I'm beginning to think he could be detrimental to our progression and the atmosphere of Leeds. It's very telling this outburst happens immediately after Pearson departs.

How hass he hung him out to dry. We all know byram has not signed his contract and wants to go to a bigger premier club for more money. The contract would have been same as his team mates. Pay cut? Maybe not with bonuss. Agreed cellino could be less dramatic in his interviews but he only stated what we all knew and now he has made it clear to all that byram is for sale get your offers in, hìghest bidder

Surely celllino is the one who brought this atmosphere back to elland road .Imagine if ghf was still in charge. He was the only one who put his money in and has spent over 7-10 million on players .We're never all going to agree with every decision he makes or what team selections uwe makes, but that's football.

Good posts. I think the point here is the agent ridiculed Leeds as a place being too small for Byram. Byram and his agent clearly have England ambitions (but not on current form Sam). It was this not money demands which provoked Cellino outburst.

Def looks like it's the agent who is the main problem here - and we know what MC thinks of agents. But as always, we will never know what's actually true. Just wish Sam would recover his form over the next 3 months, and then will wish him good luck
