    We would be foolish to give Grayson what he wants.

    His football is dire and I don't think he has what it takes anymore.

    Thing is you don't want good businessmen running the club.. as they will penny pinch and look for value.. you want rich people who aren't bothered about losing a few million for the thrill of the ride!

    OK, I think I've got that:
    Stefan & Edin are not looking to get out.
    They are getting the pitch done properly (within reason).
    And most, if not quite all, of Grayson's 'demands' will be met.

    Is that more or less it?

    Fordy....hang on a minute...

    Your blaming Grayson for the type of "football".....they're not his players, after a lucky, yes lucky start to the season they eventually found their level. Is that really his fault? (I might get slated for saying that but its my opinion)

    That team hasn't one "footballer" in the side, is that Grayson's fault?

    I don't think there's anyone else (who WE can afford) who i would trust with a decent budget.

    We would be foolish to give Grayson what he wants because...?

    So given your above the player budget should be decent one for the new mangers to compete for at least a play off place.

    The full repair of the drainage and refurbishment of the playing surface will be completed this closed season.

    Grayson will have to compromise if he wants the managers job as we cant afford everything Grayson is asking for.

    Any talk of a possible take over are non-starters because neither owners are interested in selling the club, we have an interesting 2/3 months ahead of us fans.

    Compared to a Dean Hoyle who is 100% no-nonsense business focused - yes

    It's wrong to say we had a lucky start. You get the points you generally deserve and by all accounts we were superb away from home

    Fact is we don't what the level of the first team is as we've had significant injuries ever since November - even now we can't choose McGowan, Reeves or Robinson who will, arguably, be all vital next season

    It’s one of the worst years for injuries I can ever remember and we are still picking them up every match Guy will almost certainly miss Saturday. Undoubtedly had we had more luck and better physical preparation the season would have turned out a lot better

    If we weren't lucky, then we cerainly had the knack of winning tight games.

    We weren't dominating games.

    Phil Brown thought we were lucky. After we won at Southend he said 'Bradford are riding their luck'.

    Within weeks the wheels had come off.

    Fed up of hearing there not his players! He's a manager and should manage what he's got if budget is reduced we won't get better players

    I have to agree even though they weren't his players he would have known not to play a left sided full back at right full back wouldn't he..................................wouldn't he ;),

    I am disappointed that a manager with his experience could not stop the rot earlier, and it took us fans to bring several players to their senses when we sang "you're not fit to ware the shirt" doesn't get any worse IMO for any professional footballer when your own fans chant that.

    We have to remember by his own admission Stuart didn’t have a clue how to turn it round

    If there is one thing that McCall proved at VP it's that this is results driven business not an entertainment driven one. The "plastics" have left in droves, had McCall stayed and played Brazil like football but finished on 62 points in 11th, that would still have been the case. Had Grayson got a tune out of the squad with his boring football and we'd finished 6th they would have stayed.

    So you keep telling us mate, new manager new idea's, what Stuart could or couldn't do is irrelevant to my post, IMO Simon Grayson with his vast managerial experience should have stopped the rot before the Blackpool game, I believe that's also what the owners would have wanted.
