Everyone knows my views on the Bates subject, but trying to look a bit deeper into this, you have to agree that somethings amiss. We've put in some exceptional shifts against top Prem sides, and recently the players made us proud in the way they performed at the time of Gary' death.
So the players can play well when they want to, or see another reason for doing it. They do however show that they're not able to do it for the manager, so think Simon has lost the dressing room. We've had 3-seasons of bad defending, and Simon can't seem to sort it, so I'm now thinking that what the players are being asked to do makes the players think he's crazy. He cannot motivate these players, and even though they have the best fans at home and away behind them, they don't seem able to do it. Grayson makes too many stupid comments in the media about players never going to pull on a Leeds shirt again, and we know how he screwed up the recent spat with OB and Bruce. The players must look at some of the signings or some of the team selections and think, fook him.
Bates hasn't been backing him in the market as we know, but ask yourself if you would give him money with his recent record ....
Bates aint going, so now think its time for Simon to walk away. The players must be sick of getting battered by lower quality teams, and get no direction from the backroom team. We all know that this team/squad have performed against better teams when they want to, but this is now becoming a joke. They did it for Gary but won't do it for Grayson

Unfortunately we are one of those lower quality teams right now.
Happy New Year Doc!

I think your right.
Whatever divides there may be within the dressing room are only gonna get worse following Grayson's latest comments.
He signs the rubbish yet never takes any responsibility.

Must have been a very uncomfortable coach journey back after those comments.
I think GO created a very topical thread yesterday. Which of those players aren't going to play for Leeds again:
Lonergan
Conolly
Kisnorbo
O'Dea
White
Brown
Nunez
Mika
Pugh
Keogh
Mccormack
Grayson has made his bed with those comments.

The lack of respect you routinely show other teams, never ceases to amaze me. Allow me to gladly remind you, the "lower quality" team you refer to, completely dismantled you yesterday. Let me also remind you, in the last 4 games, the same "lower quality" team has taken 10 points and scored 14 goals in the process.
We've also done this on crowds of 10k, with a squad assembled on a shoestring budget.
Stop whinging and show some respect.

Sounds spot on to me. Bad management will always destroy the workforce

Spot On mcooling, which is exactly the argument we are putting forward, Leeds United should not be humiliated by teams such as this, we sadly ,need to ring the changes to prevent these lower quality teams getting an inflated sense of their own importance
