    Absolutely right. McCall would have been an idiot to walk away from the club again as he did when Lawn was around. And if the owners had really wanted him out of the club, they should have had the balls to sack him last summer after the play-off final, to have paid his outstanding contract and have dealt with the inevitable fall-out. They bottled it imo and it cost the club dearly in the non-season which followed. Despite some good results in the first half of the season, the performances weren't good enough and we had a squad which wasn't strong enough and without enough quality to see us through an entire season. Our league position in the first half of the season flattered us and we were found out. The responsibility for that rests with the three members of the transfer committee who between them and for whatever reason failed to assemble a squad of sufficient size and quality.

    On a more positive point, the recruitment has been several notches higher in this transfer window imo and maybe that's down to lessons having been learned in some quarters. As yet, I still believe we are a couple of signings away from having a good enough squad of the right size and with sufficient quality to push for promotion. I trust we don't repeat last season's mistakes and that it will be sorted, not today but hopefully early in the loan window.

    Surely not. If I worked with someone who I didn’t respect on a professional level and believe they are making me/team worse, I certainly wouldn’t feel comfortable going out on a personal level.

    You are saying that there is never a situation where someone is a likeable person but is no good at their job/managing people?

    Really?

    You said that the critical fans of the club had, in your opinion, altered the owners thinking.

    Or are you going Trump and denying what you said?

    Where have I said ‘never’? You said that we’ve all been in a situation where we have been managed by someone poor at their job but who are a nice person. I disagree because, whilst it’s possible some have, I haven’t. Maybe that’s my set-up, but if I lose confidence in someone to manage me as I should be, I wouldn’t respect them enough to go for a few pints with.

    I suggest you’re a hypocrite. Happy to have a beer and share a joke with, but behind my back you slag me off, disrespect me and refuse to do what I ask of you in the Work place.

    Or at least that’s the behaviours I would expect against someone who has ‘lost the dressing room’...!

    Hhhmmm is this man an eejit?

    If you follow the trail dear fellow you might see I did respond.

    Clearly to the wrong 'bit' but a response none the less.

    Away to yer bed and stay there until you are told you are needed.
