1) Most out of work managers would relish the opportunity.

2) Yes he would.

Oh and Doomed, I don't think so.

We should keep bates simply because I cant understand how he can make a profit and rip the club apart at the same time. Does anybody think its worth ringing penn and teller to do a special?

One big issue with this Grayson out stuff: He's a terrible manager.

Whether the Bates or Grayson apologists like it or not, something's not quite right at ER!
We have the various Bates propaganda outlets telling us how wonderful everything is commercially, whilst it appears in our transfer dealings, that we have neither a pot to to miss in or an East Stand Executive box window to throw it out of..
Grayson is being made to look a bigger chump with each soundbite and resultant collapse of negotiations and we become a bigger laughing stock every day. Wtf is going on!

How are we a laughing stock with deals falling through?

Does anyone other than us actually care about Leeds' behind the scenes dealings?

Tall,

Other teams fans read as well, especially those who look for an excuse to laugh at us, and there's about 100 other teams out there.

People are starting to see Grayson for what he really is, he couldn't hide his true colours for to long, no one can.

I dont know how far your horizons are, but my job takes me to all points of the compass in the UK and Eire and whether you like it or not we are still a 'high profile' club, (how could we be anything else with an outspoken, rambling old goat at the helm) and other clubs fans are having a field day, laughing at the shambolic way our great club is being run.

Although Grayson is more rough and ready he reminds me a lot of Tony Blair. He was found out in the end.

Although a lot of people still defend him, no doubt Grayson's followers will continue to do the same long after he's gone.

Fair enough, Eddie and LeedsLuvvur.

It seems a bit daft though, prying into another team's business. Especially if it's just for an excuse to make fun of them.

I travel further afield.

Everyone knows Leeds, everyone.

Presented at a conference in Mumbai in November, I covered Leeds United in a lot about customer engagement 3/4 of audience put hands up when I asked them if they'd heard of Leeds United.

When you speak to educated fans they are split in 2 camps (sound familiar?) they either roll their eyes at what is happening or they think we will do well this season, then when you give them some background, they roll their eyes at what is happening.

Tall..., Eddie... and LeedsLuvvur

Do you believe that constant carping on here by some of our fans, some WUM's and some spiteful types is helpful to the LUFC cause?

Do you think it aids LUFC or do you feel all it does is fuel more ridicule?

I too travel the country, have travelled extensively throughout Europe and further afield, everyone has an opinion on LUFC. I had a really good debate with an Australian on the Gold Coast about the merits of LUFC v Manchester United. He's a Leeds fan now!

Perhaps Jonty should have referred them to
DubaiWhites article yesterday where there was 8/2
stars in favour of his sentiments...it's no wonder the
people in Mumbai were rolling their eyes at his
background info...what a surprise!

I did! A very good example and probably a truer
reflection of fans opinions than the knee-jerks reactions
on here! I was deputy head boy and chief milk monitor!

So there!

DubaiWhites article I should have stated is a truer
reflectionof fans...not me as deputy head boy and
milk monitor!

And there I was thinking we didn't get milk monitors until 1951.

You must be even older than you look.

Maybe so but I would bet I can still run faster than you!

Good stuff, milk!

As milk monitor were you ever allowed to wear stripes on your sleeves?

No Eric...but I had a collection of prefects badges,
which I kept polished...I was allowed to give lines as
well as deputy dawg...I didnt have stripes on my sleeve
but I had a permanent ring around my mouth from
drinking milk....cue comments!

I feel like we've all had more than our fair share of ridicule for our loyalty in the well documented car crash that was our club. The sickener for me is, we were 'on the up' and for reasons I can't fathom, Bates has taken his foot off the gas, if not actualy having switched the engine off altogether. The point I have tried to make, positively (for the most part) is, if we are treading water atm, why don't both Bates and Grayson shut tf up with the totally fictitious propoganda...... 'A new signing here', 'four new players' there'. Its starting to feel like being strung along by a bird you've always worshipped but suddenly being given a hint, that you're in with a chance, when the reality is, you haven't a prayer, but are too besotted to admit it!
