    If McCall secures the Donny job, I wonder whether Abbo will join his pal there too?
    Edin might be looking for more than a head coach this summer

    I've no idea but I've seen quite a few accusing Abbo of stabbing Stuart in the back, I don't agree BTW.

    Like to see them accuse him of that to his face. Whatever people think of Abbott he is a man of integrity.

    He has a mortgage too. He won't have made fortunes in the game. He's not going to piss on his own chips.

    Can you imagine being able to get rid of 2 out of the 3 guys who built this squad?

    I might actually renew my tickets if that happened.

    There is a big difference between stabbing someone in the back and keeping your own job. Don't tell me Abbott would stab McCall in the back, thats just wrong and quite insulting.

    Totaly agree. Some people just don't think before they post.

    I did think he'd walk when Stuart got sacked, when I spoke to him the day Stuart got sacked he was genuinely upset they went back many years both kids starting on their football careers.
    But he has a family to support and knowing Stuart he would have told Greg not to get involved.
    But it must have been a difficult time, but it would certainly be interesting if a similar position comes up at Stuarts new club.

    Stu wouldn't take Greg, he'd just employ Kenny Black.

    He’s 54 and made a reasonable living from football, if he still has a mortgage then he ought to look at his spending patterns

    Reasonable living, sure. But what's the highest level he played at? League One? And at a time when it wasn't as lucrative as it is now. He won't be a wealthy man. Nowhere near the likes of McCall anyway.

    His old house in East Bierley is for sale if you want to buy it, about 230k if you would like to help him out

    If you move house you probably have a mortgage until you retire.

    If McCall gets the Donny job they'll have a better manager than us and will finish higher in the League.

    Automatic promotion probably, with Poleon as top scorer, Law with the most assists and Vincelot as player of the year.
