Ken Bates - Saved Leeds United Football Club, made the club stable as well as getting rid of our debt.
Simon Grayson - Got Leeds United promoted, beat Manchester United while we were a League One team, Tottenham and Arsenal both needed two games to beat us on aggregate, Liverpool beat us narrowly and wrongly, finished in an exceptional position in the table this season - especially when many critics were expecting us to go straight back down!

Time you "Leeds fans"; that are calling for them both to be sacked, understood why we are where we are at this moment in time.

MOT.

Believable12 Unbelievable4

Ken Bates threatened to put us out of business if he didnt buy the club on back on the cheap. Not a saviour at all, just an old git interested in Bleeding LUFC dry!

Agree5 Disagree6

Bleeding us dry of what? we hadn't got anything when he took over

Agree5 Disagree3

Wait till he sells up and he flogs the team beforehand Are you really that naive, he owns the club for one and he doesnt invest in the team, and he certainly owns the ground. He wouldnt be putting that much of his own money into doing up the East stand if he didnt own it. ;) Open your eyes numbnuts The only moeny that is being injected is to do LUFC up to look more attractive when he sells up.

Agree2 Disagree2

Ken Bates or Leeds United are NOT paying for the ground redevelopment. FACT

Agree2 Disagree0

Go on then Sherlock, if uncle Ken isn't paying for it who is? And where has all the money gone if not on developing the ground etc? Either way the money that is being brought in is not being spent on the team

what do u think guys ?

Believable6 Unbelievable3

Well it seems like every time i post on the banter section im not a leeds fan because im also a smith fan. Awkward. LOL

I know some fans are always going to hate Smith but its they shouldnt go on like a broken record about it without letting other fans agree to disagree. It doesnt make either of us any less of a Leeds fan. The bottom line is we should stick together and the whole Smith debate is deflecting from the fact that we need a defence sorting asap and Ken Bates is a complete (insert whatever you like here!) LOL I appreciate some things hes done have been businesslike and perhaps a good thing, in stabilising things, but building hotels and making enemies both inside and outside of Elland Road is becoming tiring and destructive. His match programme tirades are amusing but his recent antics have really topped that - we need to get things in order, whether Smith comes or not, whether he's a traitor or not, whether Snoddy or Gradel or both leaves, the fact of the matter the fans will always be there and we can't carry on sniping at each other like we're superior on any debate.

So ok folks, fair do, some of you really don't like (understatement) Smith. I feel the opposite. But lets stick together and fasten our seatbelts. A ball hasn't been kicked yet and we're already going mental! LOL!

Agree3 Disagree5

You want Smith at all costs, you arent taking into account all the negative impact it'll have on our club, team and fans. You are more a Smith fan than a Leeds fan. Go support him at WH.

Agree4 Disagree0

Sticking together? Yet your calling for the return of a player that will split the fanbase and the dressing room. Pull the other one.

Agree4 Disagree1

Some fans certainly won't be there if Smith returns- Leeds is it's fans. So if you put one player above the fans then you aren't Leeds its as simple as that. Players come and go, so do the staff and its board- the fans are what makes us who we are. Anyone that ignores these paying fans, no matter what preportion doesnt have the best interests at heart for Leeds. No one would be begging for a player to grace us with his presence knowing full well that those that have stuck by the club through its troubles would be simply kicked in the teeth. The opposite attitude is a 'plastic' attitude.

Agree4 Disagree0

Lol well I go to most games and have done for years, my current favourite player is becchio and I like howson, I have a membership and have been to away games. If I was a plastic I'd support Newcastle but I don't. Why do we have to hate fellow whites just because of an opinion lol

Agree2 Disagree2

I said a ''plastic attitude''

Agree1 Disagree0

Let me guess you got a ST when Smith came onto the scene (Yawn)

Agree1 Disagree0

Predictable two players put forward *Rollseyes
By your attitude Im guessing you don't go to away games ;)

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jun 2011 21:47:21

Kilkenny and Johnson leave for free
Schmeichel is off to Leicester or Celtic

Leeds United are to sign Nick Montgomery next week in a swap deal with Billy Paynter!

why would Leeds swap a striker for a midfielder so that means we will have to bring in 1more striker. Plus Grayson said Billy is part of his plans for next season.

Believable0 Unbelievable3

Mainly because paynter is s**te, and not needed what so ever when we have becchio and mccormack - and we only have howson and clayton as cm's

Agree5 Disagree0

I'm certainly up for that swap, the sooner he's off the better imo

Agree2 Disagree0

BATES OUT enough said.

Believable5 Unbelievable7

Give Master Bates a chance, both him and Grayson have stated, alot of deals to be done in early July, most of the players LEEDS are after are away on holiday, we do not want to sign players for the sake of it
Lets make sure we get the best players currently available
MOT

Agree9 Disagree2

Their will still be contact between players, agents and clubs during the summer break. Where do people get this idea that players are unreachable simply because their sunning themselves?

Agree3 Disagree1

When you go on Holiday, most people leave work at home
Be patient

Agree1 Disagree2

Not when their next couple of years depend on it????
Their jobs arent like ours we know things will be as they were when we left. Also they go away for 4 weeks, some of them. They need to remain in contact, whats so hard to grasp about that? Are you all that gullible you think players dont talk to their agents in the closed season Lmao They want the best deal, they need to know who's interested and they need to way up their options. Do you honestly believe they decide in a day or two when they return for preseason.

Agree1 Disagree0

Of course they communicate with clubs and their representitives, you'd have to be a complete ****end not to know that.

Agree0 Disagree0

I've thought about this Alan smith situation and I reckon he is saying he wants to keep the wage he is on and engineer his move to Leeds with Newcastle paying the best part of it to help Leeds with their finances a bit like the robbie fowler situation when we paid his wages. I reckon he will come back to finish his career and for everyone that slates him ill bet you all he will be player of the season for us come next may. M.O.T we are leeds. any thoughts on this?

Believable3 Unbelievable8

You mean he wants to remain bleeding Newcastle united dry of wages he doesn't earn. Keep the excuses coming, it doesnt make him any less greedy. ''Love for Leeds'' hahaha cant wait to hear the excuses when he signs for WHU.

Agree8 Disagree3

Player of the season, of course he will. :( Do you have so little faith in Howson, Becchio etc. Top Leeds fan, Hows about us rewarding the players that got us out of the sh*t and back were we are today. Or should Smudger walk in and claim all the glory because he's an old favourite.

Agree9 Disagree0

Your delusional.

Agree5 Disagree0

Here's a thought>>>>>>> hows about he returns to the club he claims to love and wants to return to for less than 60,000 a week.
Ohhhh but that would be asking for too much wouldn't it. I love it how he's trying to swindle 60,000 a week still when he isn't worth half of it. He wouldnt get that deal from any other club. Leeds or Money, I can predict the outcome, but time will reveal the truth and his motivations. No ones asking him to work for peanuts but he should know being a that we cannot afford even what he's expecting of us to pay, clearly he doesnt have the best interests at heart for Leeds as he wouldnt be demanding so much for a return otherwise he's staying put at Nufc collecting splinters , but as long as he's getting his demands met thats all that'll matter to him. And people claim he isn't a typical in love with himself footballer. He still believes he's worth 60,000 now thats laughable. Inflated ego at its best. Not in our dressing room thanx kid.

Agree7 Disagree1

As has been said above, he'll either sit on the bench for the cartoon army for another season or sign for West Ham. Then of course everyone will blame Bates and/or Grayson! I'd love to know how so many people have so much faith in Smith. It's a joke really.

Agree6 Disagree2

You do realise you lot are blinded by paper talk lol let's see what happens next week, in Grayson we trust! mot

Agree2 Disagree4

You do realise your blinded by your rose tinted glasses. remove your head from his ass then give an unbiased account of the pro's and con's of his return! Then again you'd still dillude youself by only seeing all the positives. And further more your dillusional if you think were all simply going from paper talk! Grow up.

Agree2 Disagree0

They should try having faith in their manager, chairman and current team. They are the ones that we've relied on for the last couple of seasons. Smith hasnt cared, people simply expect him to swan in like some messiah returning. HE'S s**t! Ask the Majority of Man U fans or Newcastle fans! That should tell you enough about his current ability. HE ISN'T THE SAME PLAYER HE WAS WHEN HE LEFT! I just think you've got a teenage crush on him, put things into persective and start acting like a Leeds Fan.

Agree2 Disagree2

Will you trust SG and continue singing his praises if he doesn't sign your beloved......................... what a joke. SG's going to have a very pressured season, encouraging him to sign a player that is the biggest gamble isnt doing whats best for the mighty whites.

Agree3 Disagree0

How can anyone disagree with 2 comments above?? Bizarre person

Agree3 Disagree1

Smith isn't the same player I think that's beyond doubt even for me with the so called rose tinted glasses, not going to argue with that.

Agree0 Disagree0

I back whoever SG brings in ffs the only person I have my misgivings about is bates
I'm not totally stupid you know ;)

Agree0 Disagree1

Could have fooled me.

Agree0 Disagree0

Smith isn't the same player I think that's beyond doubt even for me with the so called rose tinted glasses- No sh/t Sherlock. If his die hard fanboys can see he's sh/t it says it all. Not worth it.

Just seen sanchez watt pull up outside an estate agents in leeds city centre. 100% true, seen with my own eyes. Possibly grayson's next signing


Which one?The one who was on loan with us last season of course. How many Sanchez Watts are there?

Good one there - I'm an Estate Agent in Leeds... spoken to a few of the lads from the other firms around the centre and not they've not heard/seen You Watt, You Watt.

I think your 100% could be lowered there

Believable1 Unbelievable1

However Lloyd Sam tweeted that watt was in leeds with him on the very same day....

Agree1 Disagree0

Just to stick up for the first post he doesnt say he goes in not saying hes true but it may be possibly

Agree0 Disagree0

And you have phoned "all the lads" in every estate agent in Leeds yeah? Crank

If killkenny went for the money does that mean we can't even compete with bristol city worrying if thats the case {Ed015's Note - That is worrying but there was a few clubs chasing him, hes gonna be 1st choice at city tho}
----------------------------------------------
Or maybe it just means that Bristol City are willing to pay him more than he's worth and we aren't!
