Happy 63rd birthday to Brian McDermott! Never forget this story 🤣
“I was a mess when I arrived there. My English was very poor. My pronunciation was terrible. When I got there, there was a damn purple couch in the Elland Road suite. It was purple.
I said, 'Change that damn couch, I don't want to see it anymore.' And then they fired that damn coach.”
Cellino had said couch but pronounced it as coach. 😂
“They asked me 'Who will he lead the team tomorrow?' I said, 'Why? Don't we have a manager?'. They said, 'You fired him.' 'Did I fire the director?'.
It was 10pm at night and there were 2,000 people in the stadium who wanted to kill me. They hid me in the stadium and then took me out in a police car. They said: 'It's better if you don't go to the match tomorrow'.”
