    Chris Short prefers to work for a convicted rapist than a German.

    Why are you trying to insinuate Chris is xenophobic?

    That is what I can not work out. If he had said he just couldn’t work with him then fair enough but it was when he said it was a matter of principle that says to me something happened that went against Craig’s principles

    Whoever said "there is no such thing as bad publicity"? Edin's had a fair bit of it recently.

    Perhaps he thinks we are a bigger basket case than Blackpool. One thing for sure, they will finish above us unless DH has a magic wand in his trousers.

    Pray tell us who the lack of fitness of our current squad is down to. Also, did it need a new coach to realise our levels of fitness? You might not have noticed it but one or two on here did.

    If you have time look back on my comments on fitness I have consistently said that we lack fitness last season this. So if you are asking who is to blame it’s poor fitness coaches so as the board appointed them they take the ultimate blame

    Apologies, not read all the threads. But, we have been in a slide since Parkinson left. He was able to build yearly with the squad. McCall did fantastic with the remnants and we had a football playing side.

    Sadly, the model we have in place is flawed. In September we have a threadbare team. All the squad was selected by the chairman and Abbot without a manager.

    We need a ginger Scotsman to save our season

    A bit ironic slagging one of our owners off but then accepting a job offer from the biggest basket case owners in football.

    Absolutely. I'm not disagreeing nor definding it. I think we can see what effect it has had. But he is the way he is, IF he can find someone who can work under those circumstances, then we have a chance of seeing an improvement.

    My point was more than some people seem to try and make it more sinister than it is. Just come out and say Rahic is a (insert expletive) and that's all there is to it. No need for all these Chinese whispers.

    Wether the players were fit enough or not is largely irrelevant - it’s another to add to the lengthy list of people Edin has pissed off and forced to quit. This has gotta stop.

    So by your logic any owner with a reputation should be given a wide berth, yet Dave Hopkin is happy to work along side our basket case.
