Mail Exclusive: “LUFC Owner Cellino is Clone of Saddam” – by Rob Atkinson


In a story that will rock the football world for its breathtaking lack of any supporting material, the Daily Heil can reveal that Massimo Cellino, previously supposed to be an Italian corn billionaire, is in fact a genetic mutation of executed tyrant Saddam Hussain. It is further thought – although this publication has seen no actual evidence – that the purchase of Leeds United in 2012 was funded entirely through secret funds generated by the proceeds of the sale of Weapons of Mass Destruction, transported clandestinely aboard Cellino’s evil yacht, Nélie.

Whilst the Heil is unable to prove any of these cast-iron facts, we are quite happy to go into print with them. We strongly believe that slurs and smears against Leeds United – fabricated and groundless though they may be – are firmly in the realm of public interest journalism, as per the best tradition of our current proprietors and their card-carrying Nazi forerunners.

Now it is firmly established, beyond any reasonable figment of our sports editor’s imagination, that Leeds as a club is owned by the living clone of Saddam and funded by the proceeds of his evil if non-existent WMD, we at the Heil are calling upon the gentlemen of the Football League to act – and to act now. Leeds United has for too long been a stain on our national game – although this publication has seen no evidence of this. Nevertheless, the continued existence of Leeds reflects badly on the Football League and its venerable administrators and officials, money-launderers, jailed tycoons and convicted rapists.

Your super, soaraway Heil will not rest until the Son of Saddam and his vile crew have been dispatched to the nethermost pit of Hell where they most assuredly belong – although this publication has seen no evidence of this.

  3. Hi Rob, The Mail continues to promote itself as the thicker of the two thicky twins. Top notch interpretation by the way – dragged my attention away from boring admin emails.

  9. For a moment there, (having now read the original Heil online piece,) I thought yours was the exclusive story, and theirs was the satirical response!Although, of course, I’ve seen no evidence to verify the truth or otherwise of my comment.

    This is only the tip of the iceberg really. Conspiracy theorists should be having a field day at Elland Road.
    1. Don revie left England to go to the U.A.E. obviously to set up this money laundering scheme. Then issues get cloudy…..
    2. Peter Lori mer plays in Israel. Why then are the letters PLO found in his name?
    3. Why are the letters IS found in leeds united?
    4. Adyran is a brazillian. D is the initial of the German word for Germany which leaves ayran. Boys from Brazil?
    5.the same player tweets he is lost in leeds an obviously coded message for detailed maps of the area.
    6. There is a statue of a s cots man outside Elland Road. Is this a beacon for Scottish nationalists to destabilise the union?
    7. Italian businessmen based in the south of the United States allegedly assassinated president Kennedy. Cellino is an Italian based in florid a. Coincidence?
    8. Leeds fans sing about a yorkshire republican army. As they linked to other republican armies?
    9. The new manager hails from eastern Europe. Is he a soldier of Fortune?
    10. His last post was in Austria. Is he connected to harry lime and the counterfeit pharmaceuticals industry as exposed in the documentary the third man?
    Expect an influx of conspiracy theorists in leeds soon. Should the old peacock take on extra staff?
    The evidence is out there!
