yes, last away trip for 6 months so decided to go

I was told ages ago by a couple of ex-players that they all looked up to ellis and admired his dedication far too much for Smiths liking he was described as having to be the supremo at the club and Ellis was was told it was time to move on.

When you pick the bones out the rotting carcass that Smith preceded over that would seem very plausible especially given Gaz’ professionalism and genuine love for this club. It seems very much a case of Smith removing anyone that questioned or posed a threat to him within the club, much like some from the dark side had said would be the case.

Cartwright & Myler have a massive job on their hands but think Lasty with Ellis will be invaluable assets. As for Grix for me he can go as he is too Smith orientated and not sure he is the right fit.

Surely the new role for Gaz has to be linked to the coaching set up thats why i think they will pay Grix off now Last is on his way back

It's a pointless argument, if relegation was on the table we wouldn't have released players and made the changes we have plus the club would have spent at full cap despite the Chairmans claim. They'd have gone out for better players but I do think we have put the cue on the rack as a club unfortunately for us fans, at least it's winding a few chairman, fans and pundits up.

100% rightly or wrongly, we have used this to reset.

Get rid of some poor value for money players, some not good enough, play some players.

We could have panicked like the past and signed players just for the sake of it on loan term deals, but we have waiting and tried to get in the right players to improve us on and off the field.

If that's works, we will have to see.
