Så hva tror du denne tråden handler om, kalle? 

[kalle_92]

Om utsagnet til LUST. Synes bare trådtittelen var litt så som så. Dessverre ser det ut til at interessen ikke har vært så stor som ønskelig her innefor LUST.

Herlig! Så får vi håpe det manifesterer seg!

[Leedsfan]

Det å ta over som manager i en underpresterende klubb og deretter få til sportslig suksess er jo veldig tilfredstillende. På samme måte må det jo føles å ta over en klubb hvor det er mytteri blant fansen, klarer man å snu det negative om til noe positivt så kan man jo skrive seg inn i historiebøkene og samtidig bli et navn alle Leedsfans elsker...

Spørs om det motivet holder for at noen skal være villig til å satse sparepengene sine?!?

[Jostein.]

Er det penger i LUSCOS kassa som kan støtte LUST?

Som en Regional members club tror jeg det kan bli vanskelig, Jostein. Hvis det kommer Bates for øret ser jeg for meg at Roaldset, Svend Anders og co blir nektet adgang til maktens korridorer. Historien har vist at han tar balletak på supporterklubber som ikke jobber for klubbens beste slik han definerer det.

Men bevares: Det kunne vært et interessant eksperiment!

Fikk dette på mail i dag (står sikkert på hjemmesiden også):

Leeds United Supporters Trust statement on Leeds United Americas and Ken Bates recent comments.

 Leeds United Supporters' Trust are delighted to welcome the first international group to join our growing membership. Leeds United Americas, a group bringing together Leeds fans from across the USA, Canada, Brazil and throughout the Americas have come on board with the Trust. Over the weekend of our protest march many fans have also taken up membership of L.U.S.T. taking it past the 4,000 mark. According to the latest figures from Supporters Direct, L.U.S.T. is now the 6th largest trust in the U.K.
  
 Leeds United are a club with a proud  tradition of attracting support from all corners of the globe, and L.U.S.T. are pleased we can increasingly reflect that in our membership. One of our board members  is a U.S. resident and a member of L.U.A., and the addition of the members of Leeds United Americas proves that the aims and ambitions of the Trust's Campaign for Change are shared equally by Leeds supporters who follow their team from afar and by those who attend Elland Road every week. L.U.A. are extremely encouraged by the work being undertaken by L.U.S.T. and that, coupled with the appreciation for the global nature of Leeds’ fanbase shown by L.U.S.T., has convinced them that the time is right to throw their backing behind our initiatives.
  
 In addition, the Trust regrets the Chairman’s references to members of its board in his latest interview on Yorkshire Radio (15/2/12). Firstly, our board member residing in America is not the vice-chair, who was in fact born and raised in Yorkshire and lives in Leeds. Secondly, to answer the remarks about the Trust Chairman’s attendance at Elland Road, Gary has shared ticket purchasing duties with members of his family in recent seasons, and like many Leeds fans his purchasing record is not an accurate reflection of his attendance record. Anyone who would like to discuss Gary’s match attendance is welcome to find him in the Kop, at seat N5 EE 123. These inaccurate and personal attacks serve no constructive purpose in our opinion. The broadcast of personal data is of particular concern, and the Trust will be taking legal advice about possible breaches of the Data Protection Act.
  
 The L.U.S.T. board is made up of a diverse group of individuals who give up their free time to help the Trust achieve its aim of supporting a successful Leeds United. The board is elected by the Trust membership on a three year cycle, and is answerable only to its own members. The board will continue to work to find ways of ensuring that Leeds United fans’ voices are heard, irrespective of their nationality, location, or ability to attend matches.
  
 L.U.S.T. are currently supporting work to organise a ‘Seven Minutes for Seven Years’ protest at the Southampton game on 3rd March 2012, which will be shown live on Sky Sports. To express their concerns, but without adversely affecting the team’s performance, dissatisfied Leeds fans are to be asked to stay outside the ground until seven minutes after the game begins - one minute for every year of Ken Bates’ chairmanship - before taking their seats and supporting the players as they look to take three points from Southampton. Fans should look out for leaflets and flyers at the Doncaster match, and keep checking for updates on www.lufctrust.org, as well as our Facebook and Twitter pages.
  
 Supporters can also join more then 4,000 other Leeds fans and have their voice heard as members of the Leeds United Supporters’ Trust, by filling in the form at www.leedstrust.org, and signing up for free

L.U.S.T: An open letter to Neil Warnock

 Dear Neil,

 On behalf of more than 4,500 members and shareholders of Leeds United Supporters’ Trust, we would like to welcome you to our club. Leeds United and Neil Warnock have a long history as rivals, but we are delighted to see you have finally come over to our side. And we hope that already, less than a week after taking the job, you can feel what a difference it makes to have Leeds fans on yours.

 You have taken on the manager’s job at an interesting and difficult time. You are no doubt aware that this season the frustration and dissatisfaction that has been growing in a large section of our support has come to the surface. Less than a fortnight ago, before the match with Brighton, more than 1,000 Leeds fans marched from the centre of Leeds to Elland Road to demonstrate their strong desire for change at Leeds United. When Ken Bates took over our club in January 2005, we were 11th in the Championship. Today, Leeds are 10th in the Championship, having endured relegation, administration, and three seasons in League One; and fans pay some of the highest ticket prices in the country while the chairman dismisses their worries as those of “dissidents” or “morons.” Many Leeds fans, seeing our best players leave while the club spends millions on building projects, have had enough of the direction Leeds United has taken, and around 5,000 fans opted not to renew their season tickets for next year.

 The next organised protest had been proposed for the televised home game against Southampton, in which Leeds fans intended to attract national attention by remaining outside Elland Road for the first seven minutes of the match - one minute for every year of Ken Bates’ time as chairman. The question of how best to show our feelings to the club has always been a difficult one, and this became even more difficult when it became apparent that the Southampton match would be your first home game as manager. We have always sought to make it clear that while we campaign for change off the pitch, the players and staff will always have our full support on it, and we have taken heart from the comments of players like Robert Snodgrass who have recognised our right to make our views known from the stands. The Trust board became concerned, however, that supporting a protest at the start of your first match as manager at Elland Road would not be the right way to begin what we hope will be a positive relationship between Leeds fans and Neil Warnock.

 We put the question of whether L.U.S.T. should continue to support the Southampton protest to our members, whose opinion guides the direction of the Trust. Of more than 600 responses we received by email, over 80% declared that the protest should not go ahead.

 The comments we received made our members feelings clear. We feel that March 3rd would be a day better spent giving our full, vociferous backing to you and the players, to give you a taste of what it is like to have Leeds United fans on your side. One of the aims of the Trust is to see Leeds - the club, the fans, the players, the city - united behind a successful football team. We are enthusiastic about the prospect of your management helping to bring that about, and are keen to give you all the help we can. Neil, we hope you will understand that our decision not to support the protest is a gesture of the fans’ faith in your ability, and a demonstration of the support you can look forward to receiving as manager of Leeds United.

 This doesn’t mean that our Campaign for Change is over. Getting things right on the pitch is the main aim of every football club, but while we look forward to your work in bringing that about, we have not lost sight of the other problems at Leeds United. Our members wanted to make it clear that not supporting the protest should not mean the end of our Campaign for Change. Our Vision Statement called on Leeds United to match the ambition of the fans by concentrating resources on the pitch in an effort for promotion to the Premier League; to work towards repairing relations with supporters, who have felt disenfranchised by the events of the last seven years; and to work with local bodies and fans’ groups to bring a positive atmosphere back to Elland Road. We hope you can see, Neil, that our aims and ambitions for Leeds United are directed towards making this club as successful and inclusive as possible. Your arrival as manager feels like a step towards our vision for the team on the pitch, and we hope that the board follows up your appointment by giving you their full backing over the next eighteen months as you reinvigorate the team and fight for promotion. Off the pitch, we welcome the free shirts for kids promotion that the club has announced this week for the Southampton game; but there is still a lot of work to be done to make Leeds United a club that once again shares the aims and ambitions of its fans. L.U.S.T. will continue to Campaign For Change at Leeds United, and to make the voices of the fans heard.

 On your first day in charge, Neil, you were quoted on Leedsunited.com saying, “I think there's times when you need to tell [Ken Bates] what you think is right for the club and he's got to listen.” The 4,500 members and shareholders of Leeds United Supporters’ Trust could not agree with you more.  We wish you well this Saturday against Portsmouth, and we look forward to raising the roof for your first game at Elland Road on 3rd March. We hope these two games will be just the beginning of an exciting and successful partnership between Neil Warnock and the fans of Leeds United.   

 Marching On Together,

 Leeds United Supporters’ Trust

Syns dette viser hva LUST står for. Det handler ikke først og fremst om å fjerne Bates, men å støtte laget vi elsker. Og det er klart vi trenger forandring på mange områder, men i denne kampen vil det kanskje være bedre å støtte laget helt ut, og virkelig bære fram laget i siste del av sesongen. Respekt! Her får Bates igjen for å ha gjort et positivt trekk (for en gangs skyld fortjent), og det virker ut til at alle er med på å heie fram laget nå. Spent på stemningen mot Southampton, tror det blir knall!

[HåvardK]

Da har LUST fått nok et medlem. Takket være Bates´ siste utspill.

[ØBS]

Et spiltter nytt medlem i LUST på nedre Grünerløkka...

Ser ingen forandringer jeg heller, har vært medlem i flere minutter alt...

Får si som Iggy Pop i "Trainspotting":  LUST for LIFE...

Ikke sant Jon...?

[Leedsfan]

Ender vel med at LUST blir stille og alle lurer på hva som skjedde med medlemskontigenten. Bates ler sist og best, og skriver i et matchprogram:"I told you so, fawking morons"!...

[auren]

Neida. Det er jo Bates som selv står bak LUST. Kun for å stjele penga fra supporterne. For en genial konspirasjonsteori det ville vært! :-)
