leedsunited.com 29/3/10 FIRM FOUNDATION FOR FINAL EIGHT - BOSS Leeds United manager Simon Grayson said he was proud of his side's performance at Norwich on Saturday - but still left Carrow Road "gutted" after the league leaders stole a late, late winner. An 89th minute goal from Chris Martin condemned Grayson's men to an ill-deserved defeat as Norwich gained revenge for their late loss at Elland Road back in October. Defeat was a bitter pill to swallow - particularly after news that Millwall's 5-0 win against Stockport had pulled them level with Leeds - but the boss said he couldn't fault the performance of his players in East Anglia. "We stifled them, we passed it as we can do and we created half decent opportunities," he said. "We never looked like losing the game. That was their only opportunity. We didn't deserve that. "It was a good ball in and a good header, but we didn't deserve to lose. I know how Paul Lambert felt at Ellan...

Beckford bags League One gong 442 Staff - Sunday 14 March 2010, 23:14 Leeds United striker Jermaine Beckford has been named the FourFourTwo League One Player of the Year for the second time in three seasons. The announcement was made at the 2010 Football League Awards incorporating FourFourTwo’s Top 50 Football League Players at Grosvenor House, Park Lane on Sunday March 14 in front of more than 850 attendees from clubs, sponsors and representatives of the football industry.

Guardian 4/3/10 Leeds United's owners declared fit and proper but can remain anonymous David Conn Politicians from the three main parties and football supporters' groups have united in calling for the Football League to make public who owns its clubs after the league approved as "fit and proper" the offshore owners of Leeds United while keeping their identity private.

We want to see greater supporter representation in the running of football clubs and far greater accountability. The League should insist on clubs making public to their supporters who owns them." He was joined by the Conservative shadow sports minister, Hugh Robertson, who argued: "As with Parliament and many other areas of public life, transparency is going to be an increasing requirement and expectation. That includes publicly identifying the owners of football clubs. Footbal...
