Having been to members forum it seems Grayson is prepared to be without anybody who can get an ipl contract. He acts as if it is inevitable. Good excuse when we fail next year, "we were missing some really good players".
Spot on! This is what ECCC believe is their fail safe excuse, so however poorly they perform it can always be written off, at least to those gullible enough to believe the Club's spin.
They would gain respect from me if they actually announced a policy on players disappearing off to IPL, rather than waiting to see what proactive and confident counties do, then belatedly jumping on their bandwagon, (see Notts. stance last season), but actually have no intention of doing anything. As has become clear the Club are terrified of their *stars* leaving if their opportunity to play IPL is refused.
