    Spot on. At the end of the season SG will have been here 13 matches and we can totally disregard the first 6 as that's how long it too those thick numbskulls on the pitch that Stuart had gone and they needed to knuckle down.

    Judge Grayson on the results in the last seven matches of the season and even if we lose at Scunny he's picked up more points in the month since 10th April than the club got in the preceeding three and a half months.

    The play offs were lost between 2nd Jan and 10th April and no-one can blame Grayson for that.

    Why are you suddenly saying that we’re getting a bigger budget next season? Where is the money coming from given the fall in season ticket sales?

    Pissing myself at some of these ITK people.

    Grayson close to a deal
    Charlie Wyke telling people he's fallen out of love with club while completely sober at a POTY award etc....

    Beyond embarrassing, I could understand stuff getting out under the old regime as Mark Lawn loved to talk...

    People hinting they know details of meeting of which it's likely only ER, RR & SG took part in.

    Barrel of laugh lads, keep posting.

    A lot of players should be looking in a mirror and asking 'Am I WORTH a new contract' let alone wanting, or expecting one .... from ANY club. Our rapid demise was not the Fans, nor wholly the Board - It was the players on the pitch !!

    Regarding the McCall appointment, once Phil Parkinson had turned down Edins offer of helping Phil out with football maters, the club were left in a very embarrassing position they had let the Messiah leave and didnt have a plan B.
    As we know they were told of a certain ex-player and ex-manager who was unemployed at the time and if he accepted the job it would make the majority of City fans forget Phil Parkinson and what a great job he had done over the previous 5/6 seasons.
    We will have a pretty good idea of the way things are going within a couple of weeks if not before, but I do hope this time they have a plan B because the next 8/9 weeks will be crucial to how the 2018/19 season goes we don't want to be bringing players into the club in January to stave off relegation they need to be players who will add to a promotion push, let's hope as Stefan has quoted " we have learnt some lessons".

    Well on body language alone it is not looking like he will be here next season. So unless things change over the weekend, he may well be saying his goodbyes

    He looked uncomfortable fobbing off questions about his future, but you could be right he might have some visitors lol. He is an honest man, and trying to evade questions doesn’t come easy. I don’t know maybe a Rupp or Rahic want to do the big announcements?

    At the same time though , why would he want to clarify a few things if he definitely wasn't staying? The video can be interpreted in whatever way you wish to interpret it, he's not given much away.

    If Grayson doesn’t sign on these last 3 months have been a total waste and cost us money for someone who will walk away anyway.

    We were never in danger of going down,might aswell have gone cheap and left Abbott In charge.

    New manager comes in we start again. Great stuff.

    Unless I've missed something, I don't see this as significant

    You might be right but everything I read from that interview says he is off. If you are to be the new manager you would need more than a brief conversation

    Who put itching powder in his top ??
    Or was it nerves in case he was asked a telling question
    After watching that he gave nothing away
    But didn't seem keen to stay in my opinion
    Can't say as I am bothered if he leaves, had he been Comitted in the first place
    he would surely have signed a longer contract don't want a half hearted manager
    An outspoken Neil Warnock type is what's needed to get a grip of the club
