    Unbelievable poor decision or goof by GFH. Clearly eight years of licking bates arse has paid off. Can't believe there wasn't a better candidate out there. Totally sick of reading his crap and thought he might have disappeared with bates. So we still have him and bates as president lurking around. Why are GFH so reluctant to clear out all the old rubbish

    He'll have been "persuaded" to resign from the board, guaranteed. Don't read too much into this.

    Take it as it is intended, the aim was to remove him from the board and that has been completed.

    Fair enough but hard could it have been to remove him anyway as he had no financial stake?

    There would have been a process that would have to have taken place and that may have taken quite a few months. He could also use the press and create problems for the new owners, in this way everyone is happy and Lorimer has got what he wanted, continued professional involvement with the club he loves.

    Nice to see you back, Boab. Where you been?

    Btw, agree that there's not too much to read into this. He's been demoted to a less public position, saving everyone's face. Probably get sacked for being blotto on duty in a few months anyway.

    Which one of our ex-players, who you think would be up for this position, would be your choice?

    Too bad such a legendary player from our greatest era is now a controversial figure amongst us. :emoticon-0101-sadsm

    Being the public face of Leeds United means f-all?

    If it was Millwoe, ok, but this is Leeds United we are talking about.

    Have to disagree, mate. <ok>

    It was just a bribe to get him off the board. His new job is to serve a few sarnies in the the east stand boxes, nothing more, if he spoits the free bar he will not be able to keeps away and will be fired from being an expensive waiter.

    Astonishing. How could anybody associated with the revie brand of cheating, however decent they themselves are, be considered suitable to be an ambassador ?

    <laugh> a Watford fan talking about cheating

    Tell me again how you legitimately got to the top of the league using players your club can afford to pay for through its own means
