Get an old maneger who gave us sucsess

Get a grip. If you went to games, understood the game and were a true fan then you would realise how well SG has done. Yes we took a hammering and im embarrased and gutted, but other than Southamptom we have matched if not played teams off the park. Yes SG makes mistakes, don't we all? He is young, Leeds through and through and the hardest thing he has to deal with is Bates. If he was given Leicesters money Im sure we would have a great team cos the targets he has won't sign for our tight wage budget. Yes he has brought in s**te signings but surelly the scouts have a part to blame. Yes the defence is crap, but its improving. We have young lads in there who are learning the game. I would rather play the young lads as they are the future. We are all frustrated, but love or hate Grayson, he has done wll and I have faith he will get better and in time get us promoted. Our match on sunday is a very hard one and win, draw or lose, its another good team away done for this season and when it counts after xmas, we dont have to go there as they will get better and better. Keep the faith, in Grayson we trust. NR

Anyone who manages Leeds united or plays for Leeds united gets my support...well apart from a recent goalie! Do you think bates looks on here and listens to the calls for Grayson to go?! Until he decides Grayson is finished then it's a pointless exercise calling for him to go. So close down the site!

If you want the site closed why post on it? Every Leeds fan is entitled to thier opinion
right or wrong in other peoples view. If you don't like it stay off the site. {Ed025's Note - well said mate..

But you just stated anyone, true Leeds fan, NOT.

To the first poster h love your comments..!
you talk of SG doing a good job then comment about his constant tactical mistakes and sh**e signings - we have not played teams of the park (Donny) away with exception - I was at Posh where they were down to ten men and still battered us..! albeit we scrapped a 95min goal so in truth GRAYSON OUT end of

To the 5th poster;

I am clearly stating that people make mistakes and Leeds have made their fair share of them down the years. Changing managers all the time wastes money and doesnt prove anything. Look at that scum git at Manchester, 25 years and he was nearly sacked in the early years! SG is still learning, I bet your not perfect at your job! I don't know how many games you have been to, you mention Peterborough but I said we have matched teams if not played them off the park. We have lost games when we should have won because of silly mistakes and W**k refs. If we were to beat Leicester (very unlikley) then you would probably jump on the bandwagon again. Lets get behind the team. NR

On our day were more than a match for anyone in this division,once again we lack consistency,wouldnt suprise me if we go to Leicester and get a result,look at our performances against,West Ham,Hull,Donny,yes were probably 2 or 3 signings away from being able to challenge for promotion,till we get them support what we have.cmon ye whites.

Close down the site....my irony is lost!

Ed; These posters that want the site closed, cant you ban them or just dont post their comments? They are narrow minded and arn't real fans! Everyone is entitled to their opinion and therefore should respect other people's. If they cant do that then P**s off and watch CBBC! NR

Ought to send Grayson out on loan,permanently.

I agree with all the people on here who think we should appoint a super-computer who never makes mistakes as manager but until such a thing is invented we will probably have to use a human like everyone else. So in the meantime I suggest we get someone who knows Leeds United inside out as a fan and player, with a proven track record of success, who knows how to nurture young talent and who plays attack-minded football. If only there was someone out there who fitted the bill...

There is... Arsene Wenger haha.

When did Wenger play for Leeds? He can play centre back on Saturday if he fancies it.

Ironically, the keeper we have just signed probably cost us a place in the playoffs last season with his performance at ER. Cheers Fella :)

Just as I didn't understand how we let Paynter go to Brighton I don't understand this move, but I'm not complaining....

Leeds United fans deserve a team in the premiership. The city of Leeds deserves a team in the premiership. However I don't think SG is going to get us there. The last 3 games have seen us drop 8 possible points, not the kind of results for a team pushing for promotion. SG has failed miserably to sort out an awful defence which he had last season, and the team is so inconsistent it's unbelievable. Much as i like SG as he's a Leeds fan, I'm really under the impression that this is as far as he can go, the chairman doesn't help I know but the bottom line is that the team is managed and it should be managed to get us promoted, at the moment, it's not happening.

To be in the prem you have to get promoted. you deserve it ? win the league and then you can go up {Ed007's Note - Or via the play offs}

You get back what you put in ,in our case 200,000 quids worth!

Nobody, fans, team or management DESERVES to be in the Premiership. You have to earn the right to be there and you do that by gaining enough points to be promoted.

Good post mate, some one not living in a dream world at last

I think it's a good post too, though I would wait till the end of the season to judge SG, surely he deserves that? We are seeing new players bought in, and mistakes (eventually) rectified, Rome wasn't built in a day?

I figure we might scrape it this year, but if we don't the SG will be on his final chance next season??

Right, we have a keeper now lets go get a very good centre back as this position is a must for me.

Grayson's record of signing centre backs is a disaster, lets just sit this one out on wait for Lees to return

I've not been on this site since Tuesday as I knew that it would be full of moans & cries for the heads of Grayson, Bates & anyone else down to the tea lady.

I have two things I'd like to say though ....

Firstly regarding the management:- I cringed when Ken Bates took control of the club I love. Yes he is (allegedly) a rum dodgy dealer but without him there would be no club so .....he is OUR dodgy bugger & lets stop with the negative shouts. On Simon lets keep faith with him the same as we did the day he was appointed/got us out of L1 - He will deliver.

Secondly - I note that a lot of the negative posts were made during the match, as I was there & know how poor the connections are during a match I presume you carping commentators were sat at home/in the pub claiming to be "twue fans" if you are why were you not at ER supporting the team?

As the faithful sang "Support the team or feck off home"

I was there until the final whistle supporting the only team I have ever supported since 1965, and will be through "all our ups & downs until this world stops going round!"

LEEDS TID

Ive supported lufc since 1972. I was born and live nr southampton and always have.I am a member every year.Have played at elland road. I went to st mary`s with the away fans, and I try to make a few home games a year. Because you go DOES NOT make you more of a fan, or real fan . It hurts like .... when we loose and my mrs keeps away from me for days. I bleed lufc. I`m a true fan as much as anybody.

Just a thought for all the SG doubters - who would you replace him with. Must have the following .....

1, Able to work with Bates
2, Experience at working with a shoe-string
3, Not a stop gap to better paid job in Premier
4, Know the leeds fans and their expectations.

Is there really any other managers out there that meet all of the above. I can't think of one.

5, Sort out our s**t defence,of which Grayson seems unable to do.

Add must not show blind loyalty to underperforming players and have a plan B instead of 4-4-2 wverytime, an ability to select(yes on a shoe string) decent loan transfers ......

David O'Leary - only one i can think of fits all except for 1, although I'm sure he'd jump at the chance as he was quoted as saying he wanted to come back when there was a Grayson out hunting party earlier in the year
