    Some amazing quotes on twitter if people are able to have a look. Basically confirming everything said before about promised funds not being provided, players (e.g. Howson) being sold against their wishes etc.

    "Grayson said Howson was sold against player's own wishes. He was promised funds from the sale...2 days later while at Robbie Rogers employment tribunal, Grayson received a text saying the money would be banked. Was fuming, sacked after"

    <laugh> are these actual grayson tweets. I understand his frustration but I also am assuming he never wants another job... highly unprofessional to bad mouth a previous employer so publicly regardless of whether you were treated poorly or not.

    There's not a lot that most of us didn't suspect already. One interesting piece is max definitely wants to come back, how awesome would that be. None of our top players wanted to go but were all forced out, no surprise there. Bates wasn't at the club for football reasons but money, no surprise there either. Fair play to Simon for publicly lifting the lid. This won't do any harm to gfh popularity. Thank god they got bates out in the nick of time

    What I'm struggling with is Im reading comments on other forums and some are genuinely shocked. i can't believe there are or were still Leeds fans who thought Bates wasn't too bad and maybe some stories were exaggerated. Any of those looking in, get our heads out of the sand lads, he damn nearly ****ed us completely and we were warned often enough. Even the examination of our accounts a year before he sold, conducted on behalf of LUST, clearly showing the various holes and shortfalls, was ridiculed by some and classed as scaremongering.

    Eireleeds1 - there are still a few that post that he-who-has-departed put us on a stronger financial foot.

    Just like the old South African leadership that claimed blacks in South Africa were better off than the blacks in the rest of Africa.

    Gee - thanks a lot!

    Grayson should have grown a pair and walked from the job the first time the legs were pulled from under him. unfortunately even when dealing with Cnut face, this looks a bit of sour grapes and self publicity. Wait for the book and newspaper serialisation. Someone else is playing with our emotions.

    If he was independently wealthy, he might have done.

    Perhaps he thought that despite the handicaps he might still make a go of it?

    Then live with the consequences. He was always going to find another job after getting us out of L1.
    He is trying to flog a story for £££s.

    I think he stuck with us cos he's Leeds and he cared. If u were Leeds manager would you walk away unless it was the best thing for the club? I wouldn't
