    Sorry I give up, Grayson clearly says Edin interfered and that was one of the reasons he did not want the job, so I put it to you if an outsider who has no axe to grind makes those sort of comments in the relative short time he was in charge just think of the pressure Stuart was under Edin looking over his shoulder and offering his input into football matters.

    Yes the owners at Scunthorpe obviously have more faith in Stuart after a few bad results even with several of his better squad players out with injuries, shame Edin didn't do the same but he did not want anyone at the club to be more popular than himself.

    I totally agree with your high lighted comment, unfortunately in this instance "it was the boss to blame", what would it take for yourself and a few others to believe 99% of what was wrong with our club was down to one person Mr Edin Rahic, a signed affidavit by Edin himself.
    Watch this space I believe far more will be coming out in the near future, I'm sure some still wont be able to see the wood from the trees.

    It’s absolutely staggering that one or two still can’t see the blindingly obvious. We’ve been through it before, a club in good health and good league position now fighting for its league one future and in complete disarray off the field. As Roger Owen alluded to, it will take years to mend the damage the fecking idiot has left behind. Stuart couldn’t turn it around, a proven league one and championship manager in Grayson couldn’t make a dent in it. Parky got out at the first opportunity.
    Nobody could have turned the FGS (HMS) Rahic around, not when Admiral Edin was at the helm. And we’rw now left to pick up the pieces.

    @banbrotam@banbrotam You say 'it can't always be the bosses fault' and that staff are 'culpable', but the one thing an overbearing boss can achieve (aside from demoralising everyone and stifling creativity) is that basically, what they say goes.

    Rahic set the course and general direction, Stuart steered the ship as best he could under those directions.

    We hit the rocks.

    Its pretty silly to blame Stuart for being 'in control'.

    Why have Talksport given him airtime everyone knows that Edin was head and shoulders above everyone else at the club with his knowledge of football and how to run a football club. At the end of the day Stuart McCall Grayson and 18000 supporters were wrong. I hope you agree with all that because that's the truth isn't that correct @banbrotam@banbrotam

    Only ‘head and shoulders’? I thought he was one of those deities who floats in the air and sits at the right hand of God (if he is not God himself).

    Personally, I think the telling thing is Grayson's comment..I don't want to hang him out to dry..which implies to me that he could tell a lot more but chose not to...

    Abbott's comments about him being slow in the transfer window causing us to miss targets...

    And now we are reputedly running a £1.5m loss this season.....beggars belief it really does and staring League 2 in the face...I really don't know what to say about some posters....

    I think that comment says if all mate, Id suggest that is exactly what he's saying, other things will come out as and when peope fell its the correct time, Edin's time at Valley Parade is being scrutinised.

    [/QUOTE]
    I'm guessing that's at least partly because he didn't agree with the recommendations that were being put forward to him. He was pretty fast last summer though wasn't he? With no manager in place, he was hoovering up players like someone with OCD and look how that turned out....

    Not that we didnt already know, but McCall is also now confirming the same thing as Grayson regarding Rahic wanting to pick the team.

    "Lose 6 games on the bounce and I'm getting support from the chairman here. I remember winning 4 games on the bounce at Bradford and getting queried why i wasn't picking a player!"

    Wierd to think how many on here defended Rahic to the hilt.

    Most Intersting point surely is that Grayson is still without a club? That says a lot about the championship manager?

    I'm hoping it's the beginning of the end for dinosaurs like him in football.

    Grayson basically ripped us off. If he felt so strongly why not walk?

    He strung us along for months, collecting his salary, knowing he had no intention of staying.

    He’s as bad as Edin in my eyes. Mercenary to say the least.
