Believable4 Unbelievable6

Ive had one all season lol at me

Agree0 Disagree4

He's not coming back folks, sorry!

Agree4 Disagree1

Thats right, he's lineing up with Viduka, Kewell, and probably Batty, Bowyer and Woodgate are also returning, just heard that David O'Leary has been seen talking to Bates!
Get real!!!!

Agree3 Disagree2

Just want smith to sign already! Got the 17 shirt waiting-
I wish all you plastic leeds fans would give it a rest. I bet you havent attended a game since the Strongbow team departed. You clearly prefer individual players over Leeds unites as a TEAM, go and support who ever Alan Smith plays for and do us all a favour! He won't sign, he's a money greedy git, why do you think he's hesitant to leave Newcastle-refusing to leave.

Will we sign fleck ed? And is he even good?

{Ed010's Note -As the dedicated Rangers Ed, I know quite a bit about John Fleck and his career to date. John Fleck is an enigma and in my opinion needs to get away from the goldfish bowl that is Glasgow but whether that will be on loan for a season or a permanent transfer, only time will tell. What I can tell you, is that Rangers won't be as hasty selling Fleck as they were with Charlie Adam. Strangely enough, both players are left footed and both are capable of a whole range of passing. Of the two, Fleck is the more skillful and can drive at and beat players, better than Adam.

About 4 years ago, Fleck burst onto the Scottish football scene as a 15 year old and made his full debut with Rangers at 16. He played numerous matches for Rangers over the next couple of years but he really didn't reach the heights expected of him. While Fleck has remained at the same level, several other Rangers youngsters have actually overtaken him for first team selection (Jamie Ness & Kyle Hutton). A move to Leeds may just be the catalyst that he needs.

Ed youre the most relialbe source on here, latest Leeds news?

{Ed010's Note -My friend, if you post a rumour and I post a rumour, the reality is the same. Both are rumours and both are unreliable until they are proven to be fact.

In answer to your question, nothing new to report tonight but tomorrow is another day. Cheers Ed10

Whoever put snoddy going to norwich for £3million your wrong. Why would he go for that when leeds rejected a £3.5 million bid?

Believable0 Unbelievable1

You're not your.

But Snoddy will not be leaving for £3mill. However, I believe that a bid of £5mill for any of our best players, with the possible exception of Howson, they will be sold. Bates, in my opinion, has a price in his head of what he will sell each player for even if Grayson says he's indispensible or not.

Why no action so far SIMPLES, the man who'se going id BATES. Best financial circumstances according to the accountants come in August...so no action till then when new owners come..might stick with SG or bring in a bigger hitter..so no rumours till then are worth anything

Graysons agent has refused to deny reports when asked if simon was on the verge of takin villa job acc to sky sports, also he flew to Monaco last week for talks with bates which made Simon mind up hope he doesn't go but if offered would be fool to turn it down prem club money to spend not as bigger club as super Leeds but a more ambitious chairman.if he goes don't know if Lucas radebe has the coaching badges if so he would be my choice.

Believable3 Unbelievable3

He's not going.

Why would Grayson go to Villa? 1) Villa want a manager with premier league experience. 2) Why would he leave a club he has supported all his life, and said it is his dream job. 3) He has spent the last few years building the squad and wants to get lufc back into the premier league. 4) Why would he go to a club who are selling all they best players, that shows they have little or no ambition.

I don't understand you lot if you are all leeds fans why would you post that grayson is going to villa? unless you hate grayson (which ill doubt it)

Believable5 Unbelievable1

It's because a lot of people who post on here aren't Leeds fans at all mate.

Agree3 Disagree1

Im a Leeds fan and i hate grayson-3rd worse manager in our history after el tel and wise

Agree3 Disagree6

What would you know, I bet your only young so aint old enough to remember any other managers at our famous club. Do you research first looser !

Agree1 Disagree1

To the person who said he would rather have free transfers and loan signing I would rather MR BATES back the best young English manager with the money he promised him from the delph sale which would be 3 or 4m he got up front and another 2 or 3m from the club surely that wouldn't break the bank when you see other clubs with less than half the gate receipts of us going for it swansea for instance Mr bates will never spend money

Believable4 Unbelievable1

12 Jun 2011 09:07:48
I have a bad feeling, if Grayson goes, there will be a massive exodus of players!

C'mon Bates, if you want to get Leeds back where they belong, then you have to keep Grayson! Just tell Villa where to stick it like you did with the bids for Snoddy and Max!

MOT

Believable3 Unbelievable1

He's going nowhere.

Regarding Grayson leaving Leeds for Villa
Bates is the key, are you going to back him in the transfer market ? Either back him or let him go

He's not going anywhere in grayson we trust ...

Believable5 Unbelievable1

Come on bates wont get anyone else unless hes a leeds fan and will take frees and loans what are you thinking grasons off to villa no fing way!!

Agree3 Disagree2

Trust to do what? Be a puppet for ken, sign rubbish like fat lad from swindon, fail to organise the defence, persist with naylor, refuse to play tactics that suit his players, drop the inform forward, list not exhaustive

Agree3 Disagree1

Why go to a smaller club.

Agree3 Disagree1

Did you get out of the wrong side of the bed this morning .

Agree0 Disagree0

Grayson has made a lot of mistakes listed above.which cost us badly. Paynter, Bannon, Livermore, Bessone. Poor tactically at times -playing a paper thin mid field in front of a disorgansised defence. Got some good results with talented attackers but messed up in the loan market -not for the first time. Not sure how good he can become - deserves another season to find out.

metro.co.uk/sport/866036-simon-grayson-subject-of-flurry-of-bets-for-aston-villa-managers-job

looks like Gus Poyet is on his way back
-----------------------------------------------------
doubt Poyet will come back, but this article definitely makes me think Grayson could be leaving as its a bit suspicious that bets in the area where he leaves are been put on.

expect an out of contract manager e.g Steve McLaren (Aka wally with the brolly) or if we get desperate we can always get O'Leary back
