    Yes how they cant take on board what most are suggesting is beyond belief :

    The veteran defender believes a cash injection is needed for next season to get the club going again after they fell away.

    Warnock, who retired from the game after finishing the season on loan at Valley Parade, reckons owners Stefan Rupp and Edin Rahic must back their manager to prevent the club from drifting.

    Warnock said: “The club needs investment. The chairman needs to dig deep into his pockets and back the manager.

    Disagree with Warnock.

    When Scunthorpe have fewer players on more money, and Shrewsbury had 5 of their best players on loan and an overall squad of 33, money isn't the be-all, end-all. It is for the top two, certainly, and Sunderland are already promoted champions in my eyes - but to be a play off side, you need to know what you're doing.

    Sadly, there has been zero consistency with regards our 'plan', the vision of the style of football we wanted was pissed all over when Grayson replaced McCall (talk about polar opposites), and even when admitting mistakes have been made, the owners are still blithering about our youth policy and resale value.

    The development squad initiative will get us relegated before it gets us promoted.

    If that’s right they are right in not giving way

    There appears to be far too much emphasis regarding the so called development squad by our owners which I personally don't agree with.
    We should concentrate on bolstering the first team squad with monies available not speculating on a resale strategy involving so called talented youngsters who take time and money to nurture.
    There's no substitute for experience in my book, not at our level anyway.

    Mate, they're putting the emphasis on the development squad to fool you and City fans. They just don't want to spend their money and are hiding behind the this development squad bollocks.

    We need to get these owners out of our club and fast.

    Disagree fund it from their own money and if they sell some on at a profit pocket the brass, no problem, but not at the expence of progressing the first team.

    Does anyone know the real situation with Grayson
    We the fans have a right to know and yet again we are being kept in the dark
    but as usual we are the last in line (Mushrooms spring to mind)
    Those who bought season tickets most probably bought thinking Grayson would
    sort things out its like buying a car but not sure which engines going into it
    All this is doing is further destroying the poor relationship between club and fans
    Needs sorting one way or another and fast
    I thought Greg Abbott was to be our next manager but sadly with his terrible illness things had to be put on hold
    May be an explanation to Grayson's short term deal

    Why is it right?

    Because they want to chase pie in the sky dreams of making millions from young players other clubs don't want?

    When did we last develop a young player that wasn't first team ready, and get him into the first team, then make money on him? Wells doesn't count, since his development was entirely first team, not playing silly friendlies behind closed doors.

    So who was it?

    To be fair, they told us they would decide this week, and it's still this week, so it's not like we're being kept waiting longer than necessary.

    Too long ago for me to remember
    It's all coming home to roost now no point in paying to watch the first team as its sadly neglected
    May as well go to Rawdon Meadows it's FREE to watch what our club ic concentrating on
    Chicken and Egg springs to mind

    Agree
    But Grayson did say that a decision would be made straight after the Scunthorpe match
    It's like everything else the fans (the clubs lifeblood) are being kept on the dark
    Not bothered if he stays or not it just needs sorting

    And so it should be. Fans are punters, not BCAFC employed business men.
    WHY are we fans considered to be at the head of any food chain ?
    WE will know, in due course - ONCE a decision has been made.

    Don’t agree.

    Ignore or take for granted your customers and your business is in trouble. This protracted negotiations is ridiculous. Meanwhile our rivals are sorting their squad out. I am bloody well fed up on this continued upheaval.

    As are Customers, in any business concern.
    My point being .......... NO business will discuss in length with it's client base anything, until a decision has been reached.

    Yes we know, a loan that was agreed between the two parties, why does it obviously annoy you so much its history.

    They can't tell us fans anything until there is something to say, if they had a meeting yestarday Grayson might have told them he requires all his demands meeting and left it with them and he's given them 24 hour to get back with an answer or hes away, Scunthorpe bound ?.
