    Who knows he wasn’t specific, but that is no reason to question what he is saying. Bullying or constant questioning your ethical standpoint can just wear you down. In situations like this you try and Work with someone, persuade show them you know what you are doing etc etc, then it might take the smallest of things to make you up sticks, and walk out, erosion rather than explosion. Please do bare in mind we have another person walking out without a position to go to.

    It may well have been a steady accumulation of different incidents, which collectively reached a tipping point. The old saying, that it is the final straw that breaks the camel's back, comes to mind.

    Why is Edin speaking to a fitness coach on a regular basis? Edin knows nothing about fitness compared to a coach, so their only interactions should be official performance reviews. Edin has no business interfering on anything but a macro level because he's unqualified and unfit to do so.

    Basket case owners yes, but perhaps (just perhaps) their issues are different and they don't have anything to do with the football side of things and they do just let their manager get on with it. All I've read about Blackpool indicates it's more mismanagement of the company rather than the football club, and taking out money that is the issue, ie the level of debt they have created. As they got promoted and managed to stay up last season it seems they at least do back their manager, how else could they have signed Jay Spearing ?

    If I was the owner of a football club and we were picking up so many muscle injuries and showing a general lack of fitness I would be speaking to the fitness department regularly

    Well whatever the Oystons have done, the fans have deserted them in their droves and show no sign of returning.

    As for Jay Spearing, I would have loved to have seen him signed by us, but to counter your point about that signing, I would just mention our signing of Sean Scannell as being as good in terms of financial backing from owners.

    I am in no way backing our owners over the overall running of the club or respecting staff, it just seemed odd Short referring to our owners whilst now working for owners who have had far more stick from fans and media

    How many of us work for annoying bosses? But we don’t all go crying to the press about it.

    Peter Jackson never went to the press moaning about how bad Mark Lawn treated him !

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

    Why are you trying to insinuate Chris is xenophobic?

    Well you're just as clueless as him that's why.

    He doesn't own a corner shop. He owns a div 1 football club.

    As chairman stay the fu@k out unless called upon! He's ruining this club by thinking he should get involved in everything. Let the bloody tea lady, kit man, head coach, fitness staff who ever do their jobs and fu@k of out of their business.

    Edin needs to produce. Produce some money to support everyone or sell the club. This isn't hard but seriously he's better off in Germany then Bradford as his involvement is damaging this football club.

    You being an ex business man wouldnt leave an important position like that open.
    Edin leaves himself so wide open to criticism, you'd think for a man who micro manages he would have seen how important that position was.

    That’s the question, however i think it’s reasonable to assume it’s more than just the change of manager, that wouldn’t warrant going to the press.

    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
