That’s a bit of an odd thing for him to say. How would he know? What does he know about our club other than hearing things second hand from his former teammate Josh Wright?!
I'm not sure what he heard, I was just listening to it.
How would he know? Well he works for Sky, played for over 20 years, was a player coach and interim manager etc. So if you are suggesting Josh Wright is his only contact you are likely mistaken......
May explain why Yems had the hump with the higher ups last season during that infamous interview that went viral( I know most of them do but the one that people got angry about) in which he clarified it wasn’t about the fans if the state of the club behind the scenes is a mess. Also goes hand in hand with how he constantly harps on about the main thing for our club is survival...
All very odd. I also heard Jobi McAnuff tipping us for relegation on The Athletic podcast saying we had "massive issues behind the scenes". They played together at Orient didn't they?
I listened to this podcast this morning to hear the quote for myself. He says ‘I’m going to throw in Crawley. I just think there is a lot going on behind the scenes there and I think it could be a difficult year for them’

The bookies always make us and Morecambe automatic favourites for relegation anyway so I don't think we should be too concerned about what people think! I assume Morecambe are absolute dead certs for relegation from League 1 now!
Indeed, I think the bookies often go by the size of the clubs and how much money they chuck at the squad when doing their odds. Morecambe according to Sky Bet are odds on favourites to be relegated, even though they got a great result at the weekend
In terms of behind the scenes stuff, I'm not sure if McAnuff has heard what's going on at Swindon, Scunthorpe and Oldham as they definitely are in a worse position than us financially and just being a mess all round
Every year the bookies make us favourite for relegation and every year we prove them wrong, and with Joss Wright not playing for us it could help us survive. Did he ever pass the ball forward or was it always back or sideways. There must be some problem with him for most of his other clubs to show him the door early.

Maybe Josh Wright is the problem. Look at his Wiki page- en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josh_Wright he’s had 4 clubs in the 4 seasons since he left Gillingham and only had one decent season in that time. Maybe he’d be better off in part time football with his Z list celebrity brother?!

It is as clear as day to most! He wants the £75k pay-off for the rest of his contract. The club would rather he find a new club and then they do not have to pay his £75k contract off. Simples.....

You may be right. Still it's far too early to judge. This isn't the first time a player and club have fallen out and it won't be the last.

Perhaps a good way of looking at it is. Do we have the worst or second worst squad in the league? No, probably not. Do we have the worst or second worst manager in the league? No. Are there at least two teams in a worse financial mess than us with more incompetent owners? Yes. Will we go down? Probably not! I think we should be alright.
Interesting chatting to Gills fans tonight who said when he left there, he also told all his mates that the place was in chaos behind the scenes. Seems he might have done this before then.
He does have a habit of having more than one spell at quite a few clubs too. We had him on loan for a bit in 2014-15, played 4 games for us. Also had 4 different spells at Leyton Orient as well as 2 at Gillingham
Very confused of what josh wright’s profession is? Or what he wants, is he either a professional footballer that’s what’s to concentrate on getting a regular run in the 1st team, he hasn’t kick a football this summer ( that’s what CTFC ) pays him for .or either concentrating on being a fitness guru with his brother. By all accounts when he was @ Bradford city fc he had the worst attitude & blamed everything on BCFC. Been to many clubs now & still not cemented a regular place even when the going gets tough.

He seems to want to be some sort of Z list celebrity turned media pundit. He appeared as a guest on Sky Sports News over the Euros. Him and his brother turned the club into a joke with the silly documentary about Mark Wright becoming a pro footballer. Both of them are full of themselves and bring the clubs name into disrepute.
