    If we're not in the prem after our parachute payments have finished, then its time to be concerned.

    Don't disagree, but my business brain also tells me - why did we not buy in the January window when it was plainly obvious we needed to do so, and why gamble on an injured croc? Don't forget after releasing the youngster we were financially in credit!

    My business brain also tells me why did we go for an unemployed wide boy who was less likely to succeed over the person who was sacked and had to go, albeit - he did a decent job the season before finishing 10th!

    So with these poor decisions in mind, saving cash on these poor decisions has placed us in our current predicament! Even now taking a gamble on a big name to twist could save our premiership status but it comes down to the pennies, which we do not want to pay.

    So no confidence in Lai whatsoever as the club is rotten to the core!

    Evening Al'.

    Without meaning to be pedantic or disrespectful, your business brain isn't telling you anything.

    It appears to be asking you questions, lots and lots of questions.

    Why? Because you and your business brain clearly don't have a bloody clue what the answers are .

    Not sure who to believe has the best business brain baggieal or our billionaire owner. Tough one.

    Under normal circumstances I'd be very much against changing managers, having already changed once this season. However, these are not normal circumstances! To give us a chance, we should have got rid after the Huddersfield defeat but to still to persist with the same situation borders on the criminal or insane, or both. It begs the question, have the board given up and are resigned to relegation? The other scenario is that they have approached other options but have been turned down. Whatever the case is, it's an absolute shambles and the club has gone from being a model that other clubs were recommended to follow to being a ' laughing stock'.
