    The new manager should be deciding whether Griffiths stays or not.

    Hopefully he bases his decision on what he has contributed this season and not his two free kicks against england, 40 goals in one season and a few late winners against diddy teams.

    Honestly I think he’ll get an extension because Eddy will be away, Ajeti’s been took out back and shot and Klimala’s already left.

    Honestly think most managers would keep Ajeti over Griffiths. Doesn’t seem to have the same baggage or apparent motivational issues.

    At this stage, I think a good coach is more likely to get the best out of Ajeti than Griff. Whichever one of them stays, they almost definitely just going to be backup anyway, unless a really big turnaround occurs.

    The few late winners against diddy teams is actually a good reason to keep him. Having a player that's able to come off the bench for 10 minutes to nab a winner against a parked bus is hard to come by.

    If we sell Griffiths then we will be relying on brand new strikers to give us goals next season, domestically against * stuffy teams on plastic pitches, Griffiths' bread and butter, the recruitment of players this summer will be arguebly as important as getting the right manager in.

    If Griffiths starts every game he scores 25 goals a season, our track record in signing strikers is poor, but I understand if we bin him. I just think it's the biggest rebuild on the planet if we don't have a single proven striker at the club for the new manager

    I'd definitely be keeping him, he's been off form but so has everyone. He needs to be settled and loved to be at his best. Hopefully we get a new manager in who settles the team down and gets everyone playing at their best, then we can rate Griffiths long term future

    To lose 3 strikers in one window would be almost as stupid as losing our first two keepers and then spending 4 million on a keeper who cant make saves......that would never happen eh.
    We have such a huge rebuild it would be nuts to sell griff and then have to spend even more money replacing him.

    It's a * disgrace the way we've under utilised him today.

    Takes off eddy and doesn't even have a striker on the pitch.

    * right off.

    It’s a * disgrace the way he’s under utilised himself, all season long.

    Talk about misplaced sympathy. * him. He’s let us down time and time again, not the other way about.

    It is, he's a disgrace as well but he's still our best bet of scoring against these *.

    Griffiths needs to * right off.

    He deserves nothing from us based on his attitude and lack of professionalism for years on end.

    We've treated him like dirt. Not every player needs to be an amazing athlete and I can't even say he's looked particularly unfit when he's been on.

    No-one is responsible for Griffiths lack of game-time other than Leigh himself.

    He will be one of the first out the door in the summer and rightly so.
