    We were nosediving and remember he hadn’t a clue how to fix it. Self admission

    He actually said he was confident it would turn around in the very next game, with players returning from injury and the belated late recruits having had another weeks training with us

    he wouldn't have done as badly as Simon "I'm a championship manager" Grayson had he been able to see out his contract.

    As has subsequently been shown by a manager experienced in his trade (Grayson) and with a proven, highly successful track record, the current team is not really fixable.

    I suspect McCall had a very good idea how to fix it but that required "backing" in the January window. He didn't say that but was perhaps trying to carry the party line out of loyalty and solidarity with the Club. Just my guess Park

    I don't remember this self admission. Do you have a link or are you classing a drop to 5th (still with a points cushion) and with the injuries and lack of a January investment as your evidence that Stuart couldn't fix it?

    I may be impatient for some uplifting news, but we seem to have been put on hold for ever. Talk about playing the waiting game! One thing is for sure, they have a track record of missing the boat. Just want whatever cobbled deal they come up with to be the right one for the Club.

    I would go all out for either John Coleman or Danny Cowley. Offer them a significant wage increase. Coleman may want to see how the new season goes with Stanley, but I’m sure he’d love to experience a big crowd too.

    And we think Stuart was hard done by. These two have got them three promotions in four years.

    Oh he knew how to fix it alright, it required that he was backed in the January window, but he knew that wasn’t going to happen. He is a man not a miracle maker, but he did a much better job than Grayson.

    I heard Stevie G turned us down, because one of our owners "knows more about football than he does".

    Grayson:"It's got things behind the scenes that need to improve. Pitch has been a problem and not owning their own football ground plays a big part in what can make a football club bigger and attract better players" interview with BBC Leeds

    Hahaha. So one of his conditions was that they buy the ground? :D I wonder what else was on his rider - Moet instead of Lucozade?
