The world and his dog seem to be jumping on the band wagon and mocking us. Nothing new I suppose as the gutter press have done it for years. They seem to be revelling in the current goings on in particular the player revolt. So we don't really need Steve Morison adding his two penneth and making the story rumble on, so why on earth would he feel like he needed to contribute? Maybe his head has expanded to gargantuan proportions after somehow managing to score a goal and needs to keep himself in the limelight. Or maybe, he's just another thick footballer who is hypothetically biting the hand that feeds him. Either way, I think he should keep his gob shut and show more respect for his current employers and save his opinions for his book, if he can write that is.

Spot on Mick, this sort of thing should be kept in house, all the media need to know is they are injured. Sort it behind closed doors if there is anything else to it

Well said MM. It is clear no-one maybe apart from the kids even wants to play for us anymore. Considerable disharmony within club.

Will Grayson be back in the summer, my mate asked him at the Ormsby game and he just said, no comment. Read into that what you will

19 Apr 2015 19:54:26
Did anyone else notice Grayson's voice cracking when they talked about his leaving Leeds. Now I know just being a fan doesn't make you a great manager,but I'd like to see him have another go at it,but with a bit more financial support.

Think it would be a smart move. He obviously wants to be a part of our club and if he returned it would temper the disappointment of some fans at Redders losing the job. We need a fresh pair of eyes to look at what we have got. No one can say Redfearn is not biased towards his academy players and seems to overlook all our imports. And tactically he is good.

{Ed003's Note - I replied a few weeks back that he/agent was very interested last time,the outcome of PNE's season will obviously play a part.}

always have and always wil lrate grayson no doubt the 3rd best manager leeds have ever had I might even rae him higher considering the circumstances and what he did and the team he put together and the football we played. love the fella love to see himget another chance and think he would do well with backing

Why would any, half decent Manager, come to Leeds, with No support frm the owner, no support from the board and no support from the so called "experienced" players?

Get rid, from the very top and work down

Ok let's be positive! We all love our famous team its history and fan base but:: if it means getting back to where we belong then i'm all for rebranding ie red bull so gives us some positive names me for one fancy leeds city redbulls or leeds utd redbulls playing at the ell redbull stadium!! Lol or the leeds redbull arena!

20 Apr 2015 00:04:53
everyone I know supports london clubs and all have said what is the big deal? teams all do it now part of football business and life. all seem though think it would only be a good thing for leeds

{Ed003's Note - Why though ? are all that many fans prepared for anything to get to 'the promised land' (which I hate)... and then just get upset and moan being a team that can only avoid relegation...modern day football is now fixed as in who can be amongst the best, even if a billionaire bought a club success would be a long shot. imo}

Agree with ed003 even if we got to premiership it would be a massive effort to get in top six. We would need to buy around six players at 25 mill each. However I would rather moan about finishing 14th in the premier league than the championship

With regard to Red Bul,
Personally I would welcome a Company such as them. A stable worldwide brand with considerable financial muscle and marketing ability.
Renaming the stadium would be just that! A different name at Elland Road. for now anyway.
As for the kit, I don't think they would change to red. Their cans are blue and silver,not unlike our blue and yellow kits through the 30's 40's 50's and early sixty's.
A white kit with the blue flashes under arms etc might look good with the red bull logo on the front.
And some financial clout would more than compensate for changes to the stadium name or kit.
Just my opinion.like my dad used to say,if things don't change then they stay as they are!!!!

I'd welcome just about anything as a change from the present farce. If - and it's a huge if - Red Bull were to buy the club, 'Leeds Red Bulls' ain't going to happen. The FA would not allow it. - remember the Hull Tigers thing? Having said that, their self promotion would not be subtle. It never is. Elland Road would no doubt become the Red Bull Arena or whatever. I can live with this. I think everyone is desperate for change - more money and less lunacy. But be prepared for how Red Bull works if it happens. Shy and retiring they ain't .

nr says we lost but were safe sorry it does matter . each week same team but 5 without win sorry state and who let sharp take penalty and now morison well scored so he will be up for pay rise and new contract ( joking) . it's bad stikers don't score but they are playing most weeks now morison will be hero for some when really he shouldn't be getting a game

19 Apr 2015 08:27:33
Come on he is awesome 1 in 100 not bad! We should be giving him a fifteen year contract, double his wage and put him in the hall of fame. One of Leeds most prolific strikers 😂

stinker is more like it not striker

19 Apr 2015 11:40:04
What we have is a team with no direction playing same way week in week out. Mowatt was the obvious choice for penalty, or Byram, and should have been all over the ball as soon as it was given. Yes we play pretty football at times but no cutting edge and its not been addressed at all. I don't see much passion or urgency in our play

Don't you think not being able to fetch any quality loan players in helped.
