Spot on never a truer word

this is very true but leeds will go up to the epl 2012

Good work regurgitating facts, figures and hearsay from other sources – whilst having a good swipe at Leeds.
Maybe do some real journalism and write something original.

Mostly right, apart from Andy Lonergan being noticeably better than Schmeichel and only dropping out of the team because of injury. 

I think you all are bringing the club down by bad publicity, and by negative coments. I would say stick together, support the Manager, and the players so that they can do the job in hand which is to get the promotion. The players cannot perform because they are nervous as they keep hearing the stupid chants from some of the supporters.

You must have a chip on your shoulder as big as a plate to write such drivel.
Low on facts, low on understanding, low on everything except Bates bashing.  You obviously have had a run in with the man at some point in your past.

Thanks, it’s good to get a little bit of perspective outside of the cauldron that is supporting Leeds United these few years. Galvanising the work that Simon Grayson is doing under extenuating circumstances is heartening and welcome purely because it IS ridiculous the pressure he is under from our distasteful chairman. Albeit Lonergan has been a revelation this season and we were in a great run of form until he got injured. My own personal hope is that there is some truth in the rumour that us getting promoted this season would cost us an estimated £5m as part of the settlement via administration. AND that bates will start splashing some money about in the summer!

ha – the irony of the words ‘expert opinion’ at the top of this article! Kasper was not on £1m a year (Becchio last season was the highest paid player on £11k a week – do the math!). “Tried 3 cheaper keepers with a conspicuous lack of success” – Lonergan is one of the best keepers outside of the prem and has been one of players of the season – when injured we bought in McCarthy from Reading who has the makings of an England keeper in the future and co-incided with a great run of form in the team. – Not one mention of bringing Fabian Delph on loan and paying his premiership wages, or the imminent signings we’re about to make before the birmingham game next Tuesday – poor poor poor!!!

i actually totally agree with this article & yes i am a leeds fan! ok it has been said before. it’s all very well saying get behind the team but that doesn’t mean blindly supporting ken bates for example, the man is a despicable scumbag who has no respect for the fans or the city of leeds itself. i feel really sorry for grayson he doing the best anyone can do as far as i’m concerned.

What gets me is how Leeds fans cannot agree with this article. Yes, this is dirty washing in public, but it’s absolutely true that the club is being run by somebody who has no interest in our future, but lot’s of interest in a certain Monaco bank account.

There is no transparency, Bates only admitted he owned the club because he was forced to. He is a parasite, BATES OUT NOW.

You are completely wrong Andy o brian is on more than 11 grand a week. Beccio is the highest paid player at the club on18 grand a week. I know this for a fact!

Dream on Bez

LOL LOL LOL LOL

Your brain dead my friend

And your drivel is even worse my friend

And your drivel is even worse my friend

Clearly, you know nothing.

“”bates will start splashing some money about in the summer!  “”

HEH! HEH!

The chants are not stupid asthey are right bates should go, but unfortunately he wont anytime soon. So lets stop the chants of bates out when the game on as this will help the team get some more cofidence back true or false………..

here mate away an fuck yourself come back to us when you know anythin about leeds you waste of space slabberin to people that know more about there club than you do 

who the hell is Mike Calvin?

kev youre a prick get your school uniform off and wash your hands mammy got your tea ready

I hate journalists who just jump on the bandwagon and don’t do any research – or if they do they get it all wrong.
This article is a waste of space. Someone sack him before he writes any more drivel!!

Kev I’m not brain dead, people like you are de-stabilizing the club, in fact you are not a Leeds supporter, you are more like Manchester utd supporter creating trouble at Elland Road.

leeds are going no where with bates,only to the bank

Your research for this article has clearly just been to trawl the internet and repeat themes and memes from the fan sites. If you’d been to any Leeds games (I go to them all, home and away) you’d know that the main reason Simon Grayson is beleaguered is because he has overspent his player budget by 23% on a squad that isn’t fit for purpose, has failed for three seasons to sort out our lightweight midfield, continually plays players out of position, and has no idea what his best side or formation is. If it weren’t for the obsession some fans have with Ken Bates which has lost touch with reality and taken on a surreal life of its own, and the fact that Grayson is a Leeds fan and local boy, they’d have been calling for his blood a long time ago. Whatever Bates is he’s been more loyal to Grayson than many other managers in his employ and shields him from a lot of criticism. If Bates chooses to replace him with an experienced promotion winner like Warnock, really who could blame him?

this guy is clearly a man u fan

To Leedslad, sounds like your another incarnation of Ken Bates PR Unit sent onto the net to post Pro Bates propaganda, your opinion on grayson and the sheer majesty of Ken bates is not reflective of the the majority of leeds fans as evidenced by recent polls showing support for grayson and anger towards the money grabbing crook that is your employer Kenneth Bates

ken bates deserves to be shot and left to die

the pressure Grayson is on is a disgrace, and hes right on the ticket prices, its a joke 

All very sad but all very true!

LeedsLad is obviously one of them impatient leeds fans who expect Grayson to work miracles

love leeds hate bates

Why are so many people giving him grief? all he has done is convey the message that we all know is sadly true. The tense atmosphere inside elland road now is boiling over, simply because of the reasons above, this once great football club is dying at the hands of an ex chelsea tax dodger. MOT without bates.

I totally understand that Simon Grayson is never going to b 1 of the greatest ever managers and his organisation of midfield and defence leaves a lot to b desired but and its a big BUT……. The guy is doing the very best with the money he has got and the players that are available. Ken Bates on the otherhand is a total cock! I cannot stand the man! not because of his past. just because of the lack of enthusiasm of something i love so much Leeds United. He dont want to run the club into the ground. why would he? that wouldnt earn him any money. what bates wants is promotion on a shoe string but it just aint guna happen. If you cant support ur manager to the fullest of ur abilities you should give up n go away but again that aint guna happen till his hotel is paid for and his familly are earning from us for the rest of theirs lives aswell. just 1 more note, KEV if you cannot say something constructive then why say anything at all?

I thought Scmiechel had a brilliant season last year, but I know he had his moments, i.e when a goal goes in he’ll flap and kick the post but every player gets frustrated! Kasper at the of last season he didn’t want to leave! Grayson asked his agent if he could add another year to his contract but then he said “Kasper will not be taking part with Leeds after his contract ends.” To me if I was Grayson I’d have kept him, he was a good athlete with good capability and he was proud to wear the shirt! He even said before end last season “Im going to train extra hard next season so I can get this team back where they belong!” If that’s not loyalty what is? In my eyes we should have kept Schmiechel end off!

Lonergan’s the best keeper in the Championship?
