Sakset fra The Independent. Selv Joe Grayson, sønn av Simon, sier "Bates out".....
Simon Grayson's sacking as manager of Leeds United appears to have given new momentum to the campaign to oust Ken Bates as chairman.
A protest march was planned for yesterday's match against Brighton, and the Leeds United Supporters' Trust – who were told by Bates to "put their money where their mouth is" – are trying to take him up on the offer by inviting any potential investor to contact them with a view to joining forces.
Even before Grayson's departure, the anti-Bates lobby was joined by none other than the manager's son. Teenager Joe Grayson used Twitter to express his disapproval of the club's transfer policy, tweeting to his 300 followers: "Wish leeds had rich owners that let their manager spend money. 15 million from sales and not even 1 million spent #batesout."
When it was suggested that this was not the wisest hashtag coming from the manager's son, he responded: "Don't see why people think its bad for me to say #batesout when really I just want what's best for my football club."
Equally supportive of the campaign are Leeds band the Kaiser Chiefs, who have joined the fray on their current British tour, spelling "Bates Out" on two of their amplifiers.
Is the great man concerned by any of this? Naturally, not at all. He had decided some time ago not to attend either the Brighton game or this Saturday's against Doncaster because they would eat into the 90 days he is allowed to spend in the country as a tax exile.
And here is a quote from Mr Bates' traditionally combative programme notes: "The last word to the various moaners... What have you done? Belly-ached about new club colours, admission prices and everything else that has come into your little heads... If you don't want to support the club, jolly well stay away and take your money with you instead of hanging round here. We've got a job to do and you are in the way."
