I was gobsmacked at that comment too, on one hand he says we have squad to go up, next thing he is effectively saying he doesn't have any contrail as to how well they might do.

He really should go.

He should go, I agree. Unfortunately, he won't! Bates has him just where he wants him. He is clearly a Bates 'yes' man and having each and every one of his strings pulled by Bates. Once Bates decides he is past his use-by date, that'll be the time we'll see him go. For now, absolutely no chance. If it was really down to evaporating promotion prospects, he would have gone after the Christmas period fixtures. He hasn't, so Bates clearly has other items on his agenda and Grayson is The Man for now.

And finally a big thanks to Alex McCarthey and the rest of the Ipswich defence for today's gift.

Some say it's better to give than to receive. I'll stick with receiving on occasions like today.

Bad news but not a shocker by any means.

Don't be perturbed though, we fortunately have a good businessman at our helm.
