l think they are suggesting the removal of Reed will inspire.
About a year ago a guy relatively high up in the club , non football related job had a major **** up in his department. He told me the problem couldn’t be avoided but ultimately he was in charge and admitted the buck stopped with him.
He was having a meeting to decide his future. He said he might get a warning , he might get the sack. He finished by saying he would take whatever happens unless it’s conducted by Reed in which case he would smack him.
