Feeney not heading for Leeds - Grayson

Fri, 03 Jul 12:37:01 2009

Leeds manager Simon Grayson appears to have cooled his interest in Cardiff striker Warren Feeney.

Northern Ireland international Feeney, 28, revealed he was heading for talks with Leeds earlier in the week and is understood to have had a medical.

Grayson said: "I've spoken to 10 or 15 players and Warren Feeney is just one of them, but as it stands he won't be a Leeds United player."

He added: "I don't take a lot of notice of what's said and what isn't. I take no notice of rumours because I know what's going on better than anyone else and I don't comment on speculation.

"I comment on deals when they are ready to go. I know how much work it takes to get things done and what I work on I try to keep out of the media.

"We knew there would be a lot of rumours and speculation all over the summer, but as it stands there is one in - Jason Crowe - and Peter Sweeney has gone. There's been no more departures and no new signings, contrary to what people have been reading about."

  2. Yup mid-table mediocraty is all we have to look forward­ to. Unless we pick up a few injurys in defence then­ we'll be fighting off relegation. Que a load of­ panic buys come jan next year. Why does Bates always­ have to do stuff on the cheap? you get what you pay for­ and because he's spent nothing Leeds are gonna get­ exactly that. NOTHING! sod off back to Monaco ken, ya­ miserly old tax dodger!

  3. Agreed. Grayson is becoming as arrogant towards Leeds­ fans as Bates. We're certainly not being given much­ to look forward to next season. From the sound of it­ (i.e. nothing) we can expect another team put together­ on the cheap to enable Bates to pay his legal costs for­ libel.

  4. LARRY dont treat us true leeds fans like idiots no new­ departs no new signs you dont talk about about things(­ you dont say a lot do you) stick your hand in bates­ pocket and get us two decent defenders and two decent­ strikers (I MEAN DECENT) and dont be shy talk to your­ loyal fans we need to get out of this leauge­ CHAMPIONSHIP FOOTBALL next season LARRY please

  5. "There's been no more departures and no new­ signings". I beg to differ!!
    Does that mean that­ Douglas and Richardson weren't part of the Leeds­ team? Wake up Larry! That's three out with sweeney,­ four with Lucas and an OLD defender brought in from the­ team with one of the worst defensive records in League­ 1 - prior to their relegation!
    The future's bright­ in your world, wherever that may be. Have you been­ learning of Scrooge Bates, prior to giving these­ quotes?
