Fant denne på en chat side i England, sier litt om historien bak Andy O' Brien episoden, men også kanskje noe om hvorfor spillerne ikke yter 100% for Grayson....

Before I start I would like you to know I am not a wind up merchant or a bull****ter, I had a very long chat with someone who works at Leeds United this afternoon and they have told me some information that is doing the rounds at LUFC and they believed this to be a direct reason for our sudden slump in form, I feel this information needs to be shared as we as fans have a right to know and innocent people should not be hounded out of LUFC as a result.
The club source believes Leeds' form is a result of the way Andy O'Brien is being treated by Grayson following the collapse of his wedding in the summer. Andy was due to marry his girlfriend in the summer, half way into July, however his would-be wife refused to sign a prenuptial agreement, forcing Andy to call the wedding off just under a week before his big day; he asked Grayson to be omitted from training for a few weeks to sort things out and get his head together, which the manager agreed to and cited O'Brien had a "side strain" and would be missing for a few weeks of pre-season.
O'Brien returned to training just before the Newcastle home friendly and was re-instated back into the side however Grayson pulled him from the first-team because of his lack of fitness after the Bradford game, by this point Andy's confidence was shot to pieces and the response he got from the fans didn't help either, Grayson re-called O'Brien to the first 11 against Leicester, AOB told Grayson he wasn't ready to return due to his current state of mind but after a long chat with Grayson he reluctantly played and had a decent game. During the week between the Leicester and Burnley game Andy went to Grayson and told him he didn't feel his mind would be on the job and didn't want to play at Burnley as he felt depressed, Grayson kicked off and told him if he didn't play at Burnley he would never play under him again at Leeds, he then went public that Andy refused to play for Leeds, which was not the case and he merely asked for some extra time away from football due to his state of mind and didn't feel it fair to be involved in football if his head wasn't 100%.
Needless to say the player's are ****ing fuming with Grayson for the handling of the Andy O'Brien situation and the majority of the player's want him out, there is no effort being put in with the exception of his golden boys Snodgrass and Howson; if you look back at when things started going pear shaped you will see it started at Burnley, we were lucky to win that day with 2 efforts from Snodgrass and in the Forest and Millwall games the player's were playing for Garry Speed and not Simon Grayson.
The guy I spoke with reckons the player's will know that tomorrow could be Grayson's last game for us if the team lose, so he isn't expecting us to win; the player's have lost all respect for Grayson as all he does is fall out with players and isolates them; so the players are responding by not playing for him.

Ikke lystelige utsikter for et godt Burnley resultat hvis dette er tilfelle...
