The Daily Mash article is getting a lot of airing again owing to owner Massimo Cellino being banned from running the club (again!) and the appointment of ex Rotherham United boss Steve Evans as manager.

Steve Evans is on record as saying the following about Leeds United in 2013. He does not appear to be a popular appointment.

"Leeds are not a big club, they used to be, now they are just a circus run by puppets, watched by blinkered seals. I would turn it down, I want to be the captain of a cruise liner not the titanic"

It's enough to make you feel sorry for their fans.
