Budget similar to this season.

Please for the love of God City fans.. get these useless owners out of our club.

 

Plus Wyke’s transfer fee and McBurnie sell on fee.

 

McBurnie will stay at Swansea in the Championship

Wkye we will be lucky to get 500k for - utter useless the second half of the season.

 

If that is true hopefully McBurnie moves for a lot of money

 

Is it just me or is anyone else thoroughly bored with this
Either sign and do the job or do one

 

500 k for Wyke !!!!!!
Be lucky to get back what they paid for him

 

Similar budget to this season? So they've learnt nothing then

 

I'm not bored with proceedings, it goes without saying everything as to be right for both parties.
Lets make no bones about it the City job isn't a straight forward walk in the park.
We need a strong motivational manger who's up for the tough challenges which lay ahead.
Grayson must of got a fairly good feeling of how the club is run by now, that's something a new suiter doesn't have the luxury of.
He's well and truly in pole position but we could end up with a lot worse.
At least an announcement is allegedly due early this week Steve then we can all chuck in our tenpenath on here.
Some will be happy others disappointed no matter what the outcome might be.

 

How would you know? You are utterly clueless.

 

Interesting that he says -

“A lot of other things need to be done behind the scenes as well. You have to focus on the main things that a football club needs – and that is the first team.”

This goes against the owners philosophy and indicates to me that he wants less focus on the longer term strategy of developing youth. We can’t and shouldn’t aspire to become a Crewe Alexander (of yesteryear).

If he stays I think we’ll have a real go because despite the budget being modest. It will be focused on the first team which should be more than last year, if less is spent on development.

 

Hardly of yesteryear. On Saturday, all 11 crewe players were home grown and came through the youth academy. But i agree with your point.

 

But to ignore what Grayson is saying and the majority of fans is ludicrous. They say they want promotion, that is good, then you have to focus on the first tea,. The plan they have will never get us there unless they are extremely lucky. If they continue the job gets considerably harder and relegation is a strong likelihood. We can do the youth development when we can afford it.

 

Crewe finished 15th in League 2.

 

I'm aware of that.

 

Exeter is another example.

Supporter owned, so run very much with a focus on youth development.

Tisdale has been there for 10-15 years and they've built a conveyer belt of youngsters.

They got lucky with a young squad on 2-3 year deals and got to the league one play-offs 7/8 years ago.

Then those good players left to get more money elsewhere. They struggled to replace them and had a few poor years in the bottom half of league 2.

Then they sold the young centre forward, who was highly rated, to Brentford. That's funded a play-off spot in League 2.

If Grayson goes, I fear we've become a feeder club like Exeter.

 

Unless, or until these guys put their hands in their pockets this club of OURS is going nowhere.

 

Grayson would be a fool to stay here under these owners.

 

Just make your mind up Mr Grayson one article you read and it looks clear he is off and then another looks like he is goi g to stay. In today’s T&A for instance.
