Lets start with the Royal Rumble last Sunday night as a wwe ppv in the current era i thought it was a very good show the main event match the rumble it self was a step up from last years 40 man boring effort with a nice win for the great white (is that racist) Sheamus which should signal a big push for him this coming year.
It was also the closing of the transfer window on Tuesday evening and Leeds managed to do one deal for young Tottenham right back Adam Smith who came in on loan for the remainder of the season , not thrilling but a position we did need some new additions in .
But the big news coming out of Elland Road this week is the sacking of manager Simon Grayson who after 3 years of working under Ken Bates finally bit the bullet , for me i feel it was about the right time to make a change as long as we get the right man in to follow him but there have been some very disrespectful comment from chairman Ken Bates today regarding the situation and his former employee the following quotes have been taken straight from skysports.com
Bates claimed
"At 30 players, we have one of the largest squads in the Championship and bigger than some in the Premier League.
"We spent over £12m on wages so why are people blaming me for the recent results?
"All the money we have received has gone back into the squad. The manager decides who he wants to buy, we as the board just pay for it. I only said no once."
The last statement is one that has got the ire of Leeds fans up when looking through our team if not squad they are a bunch of free transfer players with the rest made up from loans and very low cost transfers with Ross McCormack being our highest fee paid for a player in recent years at a believed 300k .
