Typical Ken Bates, waiting until the day after the transfer window closes so that whoever replaces him can't sign anyone to improve the team. Bates out!

Seems a really strange decision.

I think it`s been on the cards for a while now tbh.

I was there last night and it wasn`t the worst display i have ever seen but the scoreline does not lie.

Some of his decisions and signings (or lack of) have been very poor,

Ok, he got us up and beat Manu in FA cup which i will be eternally grateful to him for that, but a lot of the time he just needed to `grow a pair`   !!

Cheers Larry , all the best.

I spent ages writing a reply to this, then I got that popup saying "Happy hour is now underway!", and couldn't actually submit my post, grr. Too lazy to re-type it all now, lol.

Dave Jones could be a good shout.

In reality I hope you end up with Iain Dowie lol. : )

Keane couldnt get Ipswich anywhere near promotion despite having plenty of cash and opportunity to do so.
think warnock is a no brainer wether you like him or not he is a top manager at championship level.

I think you are right there about Warnock,

I think he fell out with the chairman at QPR which in turn lead to his exit,

Would be interesting to see how he gets on with Bates if he got the job!!

Redfearn in charge for at least the next 3 games tho.

Ps,I remember playing you in cup 2007 on a tuesday nite at your place,

We lost 3-0, got home at 4am and was up for work at 7.30!! Cheers lol.

Think it was £285k!!! and we bought him back at the end of 87/88 season for £120k.

He had scored 1 in 20 appearances for you, good business by LUFC eh? lol.

We`ve had plenty of garbage over the years too m8, Thomas Brolin aaaarrrrggghh.

Grayson had done a very good job at Leeds since he took over and somebody did a league table on points gained vs cash spent and Leeds were top of this league (prob the only one we will be for a while) so he did really well on a shoestring budget.

However, the defence has been shocking for about 2 1/2 years and he has'nt sorted it. ER is not a fortress like it should be and there have been some disturbing stories coming from the club regarding Graysons behaviour which has allegedly caused some dressing room disrest so it just could be time for both parties to move on.

Grayson seems a nice enough fella and is Leeds through and through and should walk in to another job without too much hassle but it sounds like (and looks like to be honest) that the club needed a change so fair enough. I wish him luck in the future.

As for the club and its future? It doesnt look good. Fans arent happy, stadiums empty, no atmosphere anymore and the stewards get worse every game i attend (which isnt often anymore). The chairmans not happy, the players look disinterested and everyone seems to be pulling in different directions. Basically its in turmoil and its recipe for relegation rather than promotion. Bates will only sell when we go up allegedly, and we aint going nowhere with him outpricing the fans and selling the better players.

Big changes needed before we can all move on and make a proper attempt at promotion and get back to where this once great club belong. As for me, i willgo when its cheaper or when i feel i am at least getting 100% from the club as a whole so it looks like i will be a part timer for a while.

Lee Clark sacked. Could he be going to Leeds next ?

Bit of a shock that one!!

I dont think he`s proven at a higher level than league 1 yet, would be a backward step imo.

I heard Hudds chairman found out he`d spoken to Bates.

Surely his sacking cant be results orientated can it?

McCarthy would be ok, speaks reet good yorkshire tha nos!!!

unknown_username

Very very big shock although I had a feeling from his last interview on tele when asked if he was interested in Leeds job "I work hard for whoever I am employed by" suggested he would be happy to go to Leeds.

AcidMan27

Not sure what's gone off there tbh.

Like you say it surely can't be just results based especially at this stage of the season when they're still up near the top.

But surely if he was to go to you lot it would have been in the best interests of Huddersfield to not sack him and then they could have got some compensation if he did end up moving on.
