    Two possible scenarios:

    Patrick Cryne sees what's been happening in his absence and rings up Maurice saying "sack this guy now"

    Or

    Linton shakes head as squad breaks up and thinks "this is a sinking ship I'm out of here"

    If it's scenario two I'm worried. Scenario one, I'm relieved.

    It is possible that we allowed Winnall to speak to Wednesday and then Brown didn't agree to a fee good enough in the eyes of Cryne

    Alternatively Cryne and Hecky agreed to the fee and to him leaving and Linton didn't agree

    Or it could be something completely different!

    The statement is almost cryptic in its wording so it's impossible to know, but all we can do is do our very best to have a successful January from here on in

    Scenario 3.
    P.C. "Nar then Linton, how far's tha got wi them contract extension negotiations"?
    L.B. "um, err, I need to get some stamps from the post office then I'll send them off Boss".
    P.C. "Pick thi coyt up on the way art"

    He refused to have any involvement in the sale of one of our key players to a local rival.

    I say all the best Linton, I share the same view as you & you're 100% in the right

    More like other way around, what would it matter to Linton Brown how much we got.

    But that would mean breaking our wage structure and as Chief Exec, there is no way I can allow that.

    Facebook is suggesting Linton didn't want to be party to selling players to local rivals...

    Would doubt that myself , he is just a paid employee of the football club , it seems highly unlikely he would throw the teddy out and lose a well paid job over the sale of a player .

    If you are constantly outvoted, you obviously have a problem as you're not singing from the same hymn sheet.

    Thats strange and interesting one. Don't we only have three people on the board? Was Linton a formal member of the board or just reports to the board

    It's like trying to walk a tight rope with broken legs. A famous line from a past manager, maybe Linton's been asked to do the same.
