I'm a bit gutted personally, but its Black's money.
I just hope this isn't the start of boardroom termoil.

Well well well...I am shocked, Wray definately pushed! I didn't realise Black was our majority shareholder either!

This whole thing must be causing some friendly problems among the Swindon investors too - with Jeremy Wray being the brother of the guy Andrew Black set Betfair up with.

So we're assuming Andrew Black has asked him to resign because of what?
Over expenditure? PDC? Not attracting alternate investment? Not managing ground redevelopment?

I get the impression Jezza/Paolo were writing cheques that the collective arse couldn't cash.

and assuming they had been warned about it more than once you can see why Black would have been a tad miffed.

Maybe its because he has a different use for him elsewhere and we are all pointlessly speculating.

Probably a combination of issues but I would guess that Mr Black may also have got a bit fed up with an employee publicly questioning the Board's ambition. Maybe JW was asked to reign PdC in a bit but hasn't been able to do it?

Its one explanation. There could be others. Who knows. Doubt the truth will out quickly. Sad day.

Quite obvious whats happened here, Wray has backed Paolo to the hilt with the cash, Andrew Black has said, thats your lot, Wray has backed Paolo again by saying sort the embargo, Black once again said, thats your lot tell Paolo no, Wray didn't want to do this, so Black has said, your out then and has brought in someone which will force PDC to re-sign. Black wants someone else to share the burden of funding the club. Budgets remain as is, players need to go, to come in before embargo is removed. In good position now if PDC left, someone else may be able to continue with current budgets in place and still get promotion. Lets move on!
