Manager for next season

[Chris Jameson]

I was just about to say the same, Brian Little's connection to Grayson makes him favourite now in my book. He did well at Leeds and the fans were furious when he was sacked.

To be fair, Leeds fans are in a permanent state of fury.

I have a secondhand ITK who has said its Grayson, done and dusted. Only hold up is the compensation with his current club.

I dont know the reliability of the ITK but i do know that 7-8 people close to him have put good money on it based on this info

He has got 4 promotions to the championship under his belt too. I think he would be a decent choice, not as exciting as a Moyes, but can handle a club with little money to spend and might get something out of the kids.

If true then I could live with that.

his odds are tumbling as well. 10-1 this morning, 3-1 an hour ago when i got the text, now down to 9-4.....

So could I, but worryingly how long could he?

If that is true my first reaction is to be completely underwhelmed. I suppose 6 of the 471 who have voted would be pleased. He has at least managed at other basket case clubs.

[Chris Jameson]

I'd be underwhelmed too but I guess beggars can't be choosers.

[OzVilla]

Grayson certainly wouldn't be my first choice but also wouldn't be my last either.

I suppose that needs to be seen as a Godsend considering its a Lerner decision.

[Clampy]

Bernstein did say that they were looking for someone with Championship and top flight experience, although he's not there anymore so it could be anybody I suppose. I can't see it being Grayson though, it would be too much of a gamble.

Same here - really underwhelming. Maybe because my hopes had been built up by a new board structure with possibly David Moyes so I feel pretty deflated by what is now the new reality. If he comes I feel sorry for him - no board, disinterested owner, no funds to rebuild the squad, under-performing/uncaring players, disconnect between the club and fans - it's a pretty toxic mix and I think we need someone more experienced.

[DaveD]

Sounds about right. A manager with a record of muddling about in the Championship with clubs with a proud history turned run of the mill. That's us now.

[OzVilla]

Gamble? We've taken more gambles than a roulette wheel at Caesars Palace when it comes to managers lately. It wouldn't surprise me if they spun it one more time.

[claretandblue barmy]

Grayson's managerial (off wiki) record is 244 wins 164 draws & 150 lost with 43.7% win ratio,  and has got 4 teams promoted. On paper as good a record as the peoples favorite (Moyes)   If he could get this shower promoted he would be knighted !

Its a good record and he'd be a good choice for a small club.

That appears to be our mission now, so I guess he fits the bill.
