    how is it mccalls fault, he got 48 points from 31 games.

    Since then we have got 10 points from 11 games.

    Before his slump he had these players on 48 points from 26 games.

    To me anyone who think Grayson is a great great manager and gets a free ride. Its kidding themselves. There has been very very little to support that argument.

    I do however agree 100% The Germans haven't got a scooby-boo.

    Yes, was there but 1 game out of 10.

    This is a man that was wanting to take us to the Championship but has made us worse.

    So you're happy with our football under Grayson then?

    1.85pts a game but they are also the same group of players who lost 6 or 7 games on the trot and were let's be honest, truly diabolical during that period. Point is, they were poor before Grayson came in and they are still poor after his arrival. That tells me that the problems run much deeper than the manager. It is perfectly possible for a squad to punch above their weight and all the signs were there that we were doing exactly that for the first part of the season. I'm not saying Grayson is the messiah but by demanding results, attacking football etc we are effectively asking him to overachieve with a group of players who at the moment, regardless of early season form, look completey incapable of performing and did so well before Grayson arrived at the club. The mess we are in at the moment goes back to last summer for which Graysin had no input in the situation, so it's a bit harsh to judge him until he's had his say in the matter

    That’s 8 points more than McCall got from his last 10

    For being a soft arse where player recruitment is concerned.

    Any player he didn't want he should have told the owners to sod off. McCall should have been stronger.

    But it doesn't change the fact these players are taking the piss.

    Spot on and although the football on offer is not great is the main reason I want Grayson here next season.

    Agree in most, only one man to blame who thought we were under achieving with this squad.

    We were way way over performing thanks Stuart. And Edin has let the club, players and most importantly the fans down by his knowledge of football.

    Last season McCall was pleading to Edin at the players awards to keep the team together like milwall had. (McCall knew age was not a burden and in a way was proof of this during his playing days). Money talks, promised bonuses dont.

    And where the feck are they, following the promotion he achieved with them eh?

    My beef is with the board accepting his short term contract demands, I wanted a manager committed to BCFC and in it for the long haul, but i've seen a number of posts asking who are the better alternatives to Grayson and (me included) as yet I've not seen a single post actually commit to a name.

    Make no mistake about it that Edin is to blame for this mess and even now we've gone from
    a manger that wants to play football the right way to a manager that wants to play a dire way.

    We've no plan, we're a mess.

    McCall last 10 games that got him the sack were exactly the same as Graysons = 9 points. Seems your arithmetic is as bad as your judgement. Are you counting cup games as point games ha ha

    Managers bring in players, coaches dont.

    So is it bullshit or was it fantasy that Lachlan Barr was on our books?

    Looks like Parky might be out a job soon. If we are going to play dire hoof, then lets bring him back to work under Edin, oh wait!

    All McCalls signings? ;-) Even Abbo said Tyrel was brought to the club before McCall knew.

    McCalls like Abbo may have had suggestions, only 1 man had the say and it was certainly not our coach or manager as you think he was.

    If Grayson leaves then it's most likely because edin has given him a shite budget to work with. Either back a manager like Grayson with a competitive budget or find a manager who's happy to work with scraps.

    Oi numpty I put the blame at the OWNERS, MCCALL AND ABBOTT.

    McCall knew he was on a hiding to nothing, so should have walked at the end of last season and told us fans what is going on with our club.

    But no, he tried to carry on got sacked because he was sold down the river. So he kept quite got sacked, paid out. Sell out. Just like any other manger. Night night.

    Spot on. Proper budget with no interference and Grayson may be with us.

    If Edins really needs to be involved can he not work with Charlotte Stuart with Steve Winterburn gone.
