Back in the mists of time myself and one or two other eminent posters (nsm or sjl) wanted Sean Dyche as manager - possibly on the old board.
Eddie has done magnificently but he’s no Sean Dyche who stayed and got his unfashionable club back into the premier and Europe.
Maybe he had a more supportive board or maybe not.
PS Flame away I rarely post these days and am just about done with this
And was probably told we would be letting a few of the top players go ...I guess he was not going to get a decent budget to have a chance to get us back ip

If they wanted him to stay why would they want his staff gone, sorry but that makes no sense, more likely not enough guarantees for this seasonRight. For what it's worth this is my take on things. Board want Eddie to stay but want the back room staff gone. Eddie obviously not going to agree so tells the board he's walking. Eddie doesn't tell the players, back room guys or even Jason, which means they are all still employed. It is now the boards job to get rid of them all not Eddie's.
Will be telling to see if he does take a break or not. If he moves on immediately clearly our board have failed us. Again.Really can't see him taking another job anytime soon, he looked like he needed a break.
Given he didn't resign immediately, suggests he wanted to see what ambition was there for next season, thats the most worrying aspect of this.
