yeah, heard it a couple of times before also. forget all the other stuff ie. where the money from killa, hulse etc is going or who owns this and who owns that... what people should be asking is why we're in the relegating zone heading towards league 1, just 8 months after almost reaching the premiership? are some of the same players that almost got us there responsible? did they start the downward spiral at the start of this season? if it is true, then the alleged comments that gregan made make perfect sense, as does his and butler's removal. perhaps they felt bitter that their last chance of prem footy was taken away as one year later would be one too many for them?
