Battle loved Grant (and wanted to give him another year) -- boosters didn't.

We DID give him another year. The entire fanbase was fed up and done with him in his SECOND to last season

Uhh, did you read my post? That was my point. That we gave him more time than these supposed influential boosters ever wanted to give him and it didn't matter, since he bottomed out. You were the one who made some point about his inability to schmooze with boosters "doing him in."

Again, what did him not "greasing palms" with boosters have to do with him being fired?

Battle just didn't want to go through a coaching search.

The fans wanted his arse out the year before Battle finally canned him. Battle was fresh on the job and didn't want to make waves too soon.
