Leeds chairman urges Grayson to propel United up the table
Leeds chairman Ken Bates has turned up the heat on manager Simon Grayson by insisting the club's current position of seventh in the Championship is not good enough.
Bates has also confirmed "heart-searching" discussions have been taking place among Elland Road staff this week in a bid to propel the Whites up the table.
United headed into the international break on the back of a 1-0 victory at Leicester City, the win coming on the back of a horrific 5-0 home defeat to Blackpool.
Leeds are out of the play-off spots only on goal difference and while Bates was pleased to see United bounce back from the Blackpool loss he wants more from Grayson and the players.
Bates told the
Yorkshire Evening Post: "Well you have got to commend it, but you also have got to do soul-searching on why we have lost the games we've lost and why have we drawn the games we've drawn.
"And, without being too critical, the fact of the matter is we have lost games rather than been beaten. We have given away the points rather than them being earned by the opposition and that's something that we've had too much of and it's got to stop.
"There are discussions going on this week, heart-searching in the backroom to decide what we can do to improve the situation because we should be higher than we are."
