Obviously that's not a great advert for Leeds as a town but that's just the way it is around here. I started a thread about it around 18 months ago and got shot down as the above was apparently a ridiculous reason and therefore couldn't possibly be true. I agree it is a ridiculous reason and believe me, it is true! It's shit and i can't stand that way of thinking....but as i say, i can only speak of where i live and i have spoken to a lot of people about Khan and have pretty much got the same response.

Weird I thought Khan was a UK boy, born and raised.

For me, I didn't like that he was given a silver spoon so early in his career, before he had done anything professionally worthwhile. Maybe I was jealous of his success, maybe I looked at him as manufactured as a pop song, maybe it was trickle down resentment for Warren. Whatever the case, I just wanted to see him lose.

That being said I think he definately has skills, and I can respect that part of his game.
