    They want to be in the Championship but while ever they insist on putting money into the youth set up the first team will suffer.
    We are plying our trade in League One again minus probably a vast amount of experience.
    Put a team of youngsters out every week in Claret and Amber and tge oppositions men will turn over the boys most weeks

    That comment could be the stumbling block, which manager would see potential money being spent on the development squad when how the first team performs is his and should be IMO the owners first priority.

    I honestly thought you'd be a lot more positive after this news.

    It isn't news it's speculation.

    This is a major factor in our failure to secure a team capable of promotion. Untill they change direction from the boardroom

    Get rid now the guys not a for this club
    Yes there’s some hope he can replicate previous success but he’s in a downward spiral
    If this was a player on the same downward curve making demands we would be all telling the chairman to stay clear

    Best news for us if he gets his coat and fecks off

    Until we know the details of why he isn’t staying (unconfirmed), then it would be harsh to vilify the owners. For all we know he may have asked for a new training ground to be built, with full time medical staff and surgeons, £10 million first team budget, flights to all away games with private chef and Club Wembley box for the next 25 years.

    There was also other mitigating circumstances, ie morale was shot to pieces for what reasons no one is exactly sure. Pep Guardiola wouldn’t have turned it round any quicker in my view.

    He might, and you are right, but the trust has almost gone, so it is hard to work out what is happening, plus we are not kept informed.

    You missed out Savile Row suits for the team every month, although that didn't appear to improve performance.

    They may have found it hard to give Grayson what he demanded. Wasn't one of the rumours that he wanted a whole new training facility owned by the club? That would have been hard to do in the short term
