I don't think Grayson's reputation has been damaged by his time at Leeds. He did well to get them promoted and well last season, and then his chairman's ambitions were completely over the top compared to the investment at the club.

I see Simon Grayson's had the ol' Union Jack at Leedzzzz.

Just a thought, like.

The game has gone mad. The guy has done a solid job at Leeds and they repay him with that. I usually want Leeds to do well but I really hope they don't make the playoffs after this.

Well if you have a season ticket in the expensive bit of any stand then the cost is £610  - why?
The most expensive season ticket for the 2011-2012 season was £580. 

Apologies I made a mistake it was taken by DD do you want me to make a bleeding apology in the Evening Mail ! Is that all you have time to do check bleeding season ticket prices. Why are you interested anyway where do you sit then on the roof?
Don't get arsy with me sonny.  I was simply pointing out the most expensive season ticket price because on several occasions you have mentioned yours was more than £600 and I knew that wasn't correct.  I sit in the Lower Trinity.  I paid £520.

I don't think that's correct. I'm sure mine was 620 (upper Trinity, middle)

Think SOTC may be right - I thought top whack was £580, rising to around £620 if you paid by 10 instalments

Edit: 2011/12 ST Prices then select 10 months on the Calculator page

Ah that's why, I'm paying by the 10 mth thing, which is why i had 620 in my head.

Although, I guess this could also mean dizzyg or whatever he's called being correct (in a roundabout way)

Wasn't he another Next Big Managerial thing?

I dunno, was he?

To be fair, old beardface Bates has been selling the best players and getting loans in, he is the problem up there. I think under the circumstances Larry did a decent job.

Neil Warnock was the favourite with William Hill when I looked earlier. Now that'd be interesting, Warnock and Bates working together.

Anyone else see the "Get the Feck out of Villa Park" banner in the Upper Holte just after Cisse scored?

That banner has been bought along to the last four or five games waiting for an airing.
