LEGENDE: Peter Lorimer

I do think the Ipswich Town game could be a massive turning point in our season as we got a few breaks when we needed them and that should give the players the confidence that has been lacking a little bit at home.

I know some fans were unhappy on Saturday, but at the end of the day we’re all Leeds fans and want the club to be successful and we’ve all got to get behind the team.

I was speaking to a couple of the players on Monday night at Lorimer’s Bar and they are aware of an ‘atmosphere’ among the crowd. I don’t think that should be happening in matches; we all want the team to win and we can do our part by cheering them on.

Leeds are a great crowd and I fully understand that fans are desperate to get back in the ‘big league’, especially after sampling the cup games against the Manchester Uniteds and Arsenals relatively recently. Those were special games and we all want to get back to the Premier League.

I know the expectations of the fans â€" and that they want it now â€" but there are plenty of other teams in this league who want it as well. Look at the money some teams have chucked at it. And how many of them are actually doing well? Ipswich are a case in point, and Leicester City. Spending loads of money doesn’t guarantee you anything.

I would say to the fans we are making progress all the time. What will get us promotion is if we all stay together and get behind the team and the team responds.

The transfer window closes on Tuesday night and it’s always a hard time because everyone’s out there looking for quality players and there are not all that many available at this stage of the season.

I know people are working all the hours they can to try and get things sorted out and hopefully we’ll come up with something before the window closes.

In terms of dealing with the Premiership clubs, it’s not always straightforward as a lot of them are concerned about their position as well. They don’t want to be leaving themselves short.

We’ve obviously got Fabian Delph and Robbie Rogers in already, and I’m sure we’ll be looking to add more before the deadline.

Saturday was a very vital win in terms of keeping us in the ball game as regards the play-offs and so is the game on Tuesday night against Birmingham City.They are another of the clubs who are up there challenging for the play-offs and it’s another rival we have the chance to do something against.

Consistency

During the run-in, if you like, you need to beat the teams around you, especially at home. If we beat Birmingham, we’ll have a good chance to go into the top six on Tuesday and it’s there for us.

Looking at this league, you’re not surprised by any result really. For instance, Leicester went down to Southampton and won the other night and it wasn’t a massive shock as there’s such a lack of consistency.

When you hear the results on a Saturday, there are always a few surprises. Many teams are much of a muchness and all sides are capable of beating anyone on their given day.

Peter, some questions for you as a member of the board... Do you agree with the way LUFC is being run at the moment ? Do you think ticket prices are fair ? Do you think that casual attendees, lads and Dads have to pay full whack if they want to watch a match at Elland Road ? Thats how I first came to watch you in a Leeds shirt, I doubt that would ever have happened under current cicumstances. Do you think that it is fair that members have to pay £40 just for the priviledge of being able to purchase tickets ? Do you think it was a good move to ban the BBC from Elland Road ? Do you think it is a good idea to cut down on your catchment by taking all radio broadcasting in house and losing £700,000 per year for the right to do this, whilst turning down income from prospective broadcasters ? Do you want your club (I'm assuming LUFC are your club) to continue to be run by someone who threatened to destroy it unless he gained financially ? Do you agree that the fans inside Elland Road are policed by cheap hired bouncers who relish confrontation ? Do you like the fact that our chief executive once referred to Leeds as 'White S***e' ? Do you like the fact that we were repeatedly lied to that we were selling Fabien Delph in order to re-purchase Thorp Arch ? Do you like having a chairman who , for 7 years has spoken of investors and has not managed to attract any at all in all of that time ? ( Think about how long that is, My lad was 17 years old, he's now 24 !! We are still waiting) Do you like the fact that throughout West Yorkshire, young kids do not see Leeds United gear in shops to even give them a chance of choosing us over Manchester United or Chelsea ? Do you like the fact that our money is being spent on serial court cases and legal fees to satisfy our litigious cantankerous 80 year old chairman ? Do you like the fact that many members of the Supporters club, who were the lifeblood of the club, never missing a game , have been given pariah status by a chairman who countenances no dissenting voices? Do you think it is right that I have a season ticket renewal sitting on my table asking me to pay up front SEVEN months before the start of the next season, with no clue as to what I will be paying for ? Do you like the fact that we, as fans have to pay prices equating to a champions league side , yet our club serially sell their talented players for peanuts and we continue to turn up and watch mediocrity? Do you like the way that the club fails to negotiate new contracts with our talent and allow the situation to reach the stage where we are over a barrel ? Do you like the fact that, since our relegation in 2004 we have have over SIXTY loan players representing us ? Do you like the fact that our matchday programme is the most expensive in Britain ? Our club is rotten from the top down. If you, or anyone else, can't see that after 7 years of this s**t, then you never will. And you say we are making progress ? Don't be daft lad. No doubt there will be someone else along in a moment to defend the indefensible.

Lorimer holdes ansvarlig "as a member of the board" og hva han skriver i spalten sin, ollan. 

"I was speaking to a couple of the players on Monday night at Lorimer’s Bar and they are aware of an ‘atmosphere’ among the crowd. I don’t think that should be happening in matches; we all want the team to win and we can do our part by cheering them on."

Isolert sett ikke noe å si på det Lorimer skriver. Problemet er at misnøye ikke oppstår i et vakum. Det ligger en historie bak. Løfter har blitt gitt og løfter har blitt brutt. Jeg vil påstå at Leeds supportere har vært mer tålmodige og "supportive" enn de fleste.

Dessverre går Lorimer i den fella at han gir supporterne ansvaret for de (synkende) sportslige resultatene. Bare vi står sammen vil laget spille bedre og sikre oss opprykk:

"I would say to the fans we are making progress all the time. What will get us promotion is if we all stay together and get behind the team and the team responds."

Dette bør han fortelle til Ken Bates. "Togetherness" er nemlig ikke hans greie. I 7 år har han kjempet en innbitt kamp for å splitte og herske. Han har langt på vei lykkes med det. Problemet er at dette slett ikke har ført til fremgang. Vi er fortsatt en middelhavsfarer i Championship. Vi eier fortsatt ikke bane eller treningsannlegg og vi er fortsatt en selgende klubb. Så langt jeg kan bedømme har vi nå en fallende kurve, stikk i strid med Ken Bates utrykte visjoner og målsetninger for fremtiden.

Forøvrig er det trist med alle de hatske utfallene mot Lorimer, men som verbal frontsoldat for Ken Bates er det kanskje ikke annet å forvente. Jeg er ikke så sikker på at han lenger vet sitt eget og klubbens beste.

Ser at Lorimer får tyn av TSS, men jeg er nesten enig i alt han sier..

By Peter Lorimer
Published on Friday 3 February 2012 13:31

When I think about this season, the biggest disappointment has been the lack of success among so many of the players signed by Simon Grayson.

I was considering this the other day and worked out that there’s a full team of his players who are hardly involved, either as starters or substitutes â€" Paul Rachubka, Paul Connolly, Leigh Bromby, Andy O’Brien, Alex Bruce, Michael Brown, Ramon Nunez, Lloyd Sam, Billy Paynter, Mikael Forssell and Mika Vayrynen.

To anyone who thinks Leeds United don’t invest or failed to back Grayson, look at that list. You’ve got 11 experienced lads there, many of whom have been in and out at best. Whether that’s their fault or his fault I can’t be certain but there was enough for him to work with at Elland Road and whatever’s gone wrong, it’s not down to investment.

Whenever a manager comes under pressure, as Simon did, you always hear rumours and comments about him losing the dressing room. I’ve no evidence to prove that it was true in this instance but I do struggle to see how a training ground where so many proven lads are on the fringes can have a happy atmosphere.

It’s highly likely that another manager coming in will see something he can work with in that group, and that’s why the decision to sack Simon had to be made. He’s goes with a very good record and the pride of winning promotion here but a fresh start is in our best interests.

The truth is that he haven’t moved forward from last season. Our results and performances in the main have been poorer than they were during our first year in the Championship and there’s been no real sign of things changing or improving. But bringing a new manager in is a chance to make a go of a campaign which isn’t over yet. We’re very close to the play-offs and by no stretch of the imagination is the situation irretrievable.

I’d still say that having seen every side in the division, the race for the top six is wide open. I’m not claiming that we’ve been any better than a lot of the teams we’ve faced recently but no-one is looking very consistent or in particularly good form. As we’ve all thought since day one, a lot of clubs have a chance and we shouldn’t assume that ours has gone just because the last few months have been tough and disappointing.

Picking the right man to replace Simon is tough. There are so many possible candidates out there and so many coaches who would want the prestige and the opportunity of managing Leeds United.

Whoever it is must be inspirational and able to get the best out of the players at the club â€" to come in and see the potential in senior professionals who’ve either had no real opportunities this season or were on the fringes of Simon’s plans.

It’s not that the players currently in the starting line-up deserve to be dropped but there is more to be made of the squad as a whole. I’ve got no doubt about that. Take Bruce as an example â€" he was nothing short of outstanding in our FA Cup game at Arsenal last season. For many months it’s been impossible for him to even get on the bench.

Sometimes a breath of fresh air blows away old grievances and problems. It’s a clean slate for everyone, the players included. If we needed a bit of a jolt then this is it. Now let’s throw everything at these last 18 games and aim for the play-offs. It’s not impossible and no-one should think it is, least of all our next boss.

Peter, some questions for you as a member of the board... Do you agree with the way LUFC is being run at the moment ? Do you think ticket prices are fair ? Do you think that casual attendees, lads and Dads have to pay full whack if they want to watch a match at Elland Road ? Thats how I first came to watch you in a Leeds shirt, I doubt that would ever have happened under current cicumstances. Do you think that it is fair that members have to pay £40 just for the priviledge of being able to purchase tickets ? Do you think it was a good move to ban the BBC from Elland Road ? Do you think it is a good idea to cut down on your catchment by taking all radio broadcasting in house and losing £700,000 per year for the right to do this, whilst turning down income from prospective broadcasters ? Do you want your club (I'm assuming LUFC are your club) to continue to be run by someone who threatened to destroy it unless he gained financially ? Do you agree that the fans inside Elland Road are policed by cheap hired bouncers who relish confrontation ? Do you like the fact that our chief executive once referred to Leeds as 'White S***e' ? Do you like the fact that we were repeatedly lied to that we were selling Fabien Delph in order to re-purchase Thorp Arch ? Do you like having a chairman who , for 7 years has spoken of investors and has not managed to attract any at all in all of that time ? ( Think about how long that is, My lad was 17 years old, he's now 24 !! We are still waiting) Do you like the fact that throughout West Yorkshire, young kids do not see Leeds United gear in shops to even give them a chance of choosing us over Manchester United or Chelsea ? Do you like the fact that our money is being spent on serial court cases and legal fees to satisfy our litigious cantankerous 80 year old chairman ? Do you like the fact that many members of the Supporters club, who were the lifeblood of the club, never missing a game , have been given pariah status by a chairman who countenances no dissenting voices? Do you think it is right that I have a season ticket renewal sitting on my table asking me to pay up front SEVEN months before the start of the next season, with no clue as to what I will be paying for ? Do you like the fact that we, as fans have to pay prices equating to a champions league side , yet our club serially sell their talented players for peanuts and we continue to turn up and watch mediocrity? Do you like the way that the club fails to negotiate new contracts with our talent and allow the situation to reach the stage where we are over a barrel ? Do you like the fact that, since our relegation in 2004 we have have over SIXTY loan players representing us ? Do you like the fact that our matchday programme is the most expensive in Britain ? Our club is rotten from the top down. If you, or anyone else, can't see that after 7 years of this s**t, then you never will. And you say we are making progress ? Don't be daft lad. No doubt there will be someone else along in a moment to defend the indefensible.

Ã... gid, en hel masse anklager forkledt som spørsmål. Anklagene om råtten klubb er til å spy av.

Enig i at anklagene er til å spy av, Roar. Det betyr ikke at de er usanne eller irellevante!

Han spør vel bare hva han og alle andre har sett lurt på over 7 år ? Ganske mange riktige spørsmål å stille spør du meg .

[HåvardK]

Det jeg ikke skjønner, er hva dette har med sparkingen av Grayson å gjøre. Lorimer uttaler seg kun om årsakene til den avgjørelsen, og det synes jeg faktisk han redegjør for på en god og oppklarende måte. Alt det andre som denne lebowski stiller Lorimer spørsmål om, er for så vidt relevante innvendinger mot Bates - men det har jo ingen direkte kopling med det Lorimer tar opp i sin uttalelse.

[Andersen]

En 7 år lang frustrasjon som bare måtte ut kanskje ?

Her blander man nok to ulike innlegg og kommenterer på kryss og tvers, Håvard. Lorimers siste kronikk om grunnen til at Grayson måtte gå er vel noen helt greie betraktninger om hva som gikk galt.

Just heard one of Peter Lorimer's remarks from the Leeds United On The Road Event.

He said that the reason Leeds United don't reduce ticket prices to attract a bigger crowd and improve the atmosphere is because they've tried it before and season ticket holders complained about the lower class of supporter it brought in.

So apparently, we now have a class system at Elland Road. Words fail me.

det er tydeligvis ikke bare KB det har rablet for....hvordan i alle dager kan han i det hele tatt få seg til å si noe sånt

Det jeg har hørt før er at folk med sesongbilletter klager når de har kjøpt til full pris og ikke får noe igjen for prisreduksjon.

Har han sagt dette, eller er det noen som har hørt feil? Gryende demens der også, kanskje?

Er det sant? Kan det virkelig være sant?

Jeg synes det er uendelig trist med den rollen Lorimer har blitt gitt i klubben de senere åra, men han fortjener mer respekt enn dette, Alta-White. I et 50 års perspektiv er det få som har bidratt med mer for klubben.

Jeg har redigert innlegget ditt fordi jeg synes det er godt over streken for hva vi bør tillate på forumet vårt. (Og ja, vi har redigert bort flere ytringer om Ken Bates den siste tiden også, om noen lurte på det.)  

[Jon R]

Nei!

Forklar, Rudi.
