Manager for next season

[supertom]

Eric Cack to keep the reins.

We'd do well to keep hold of him at this rate.

[LeeB]

What kind of football does he play?

Blow.

That's useful because we suck.

Simon Grayson would be our equivalent of the Dogheads recruiting Deano. A promising career in the lower leagues but far too big. If it is Grayson, I'd bet a sizeable amount on a chaotic relegation.

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

You know what? I believe it.

Fits the pattern of the clubs ambition to be permanently in the lower leagues. As Bernstein rather cruelly but accurately put it "preparing for life in the championship" not a visit.

that is exactly the type of manager lerner would appoint. mainly because they are cheap and think they can do it, and lerner tells them to do it with less money  than the last manager did. fuckin joke.

There's absolutely no comparison between his managerial career and Saunders'.

It'll be as cheap as possible with little as possible if any investment.

I wouldn't be delighted or distraught if it was Grayson. It would be "meh". Which seems about right these days.

*nods*

It would be a solid statement that we were preparing for life in the Championship, rather than preparing for an attempt to get out of it.

To be fair, after the last 96 hours "meh" is a quantum leap forwards.

Grayson is in Birmingham tonight so we could pinch him for chat over last orders.

I've said before on this thread that I would embrace Grayson. Positives outweigh the negatives with him.

I'm not sure. His record at getting teams out of league one is impressive but we need someone who's got teams into the premier league ideally.

I suppose it depends on how much backing he would get from RL and the remains of the Board as to how effective he could be.

If you believe that DB and MK threw teddy out of the pram, then maybe there is more to look forward to, this pre- season and from August.

Does anyone think any Villa manager will get a penny to spend next season?

Will get what we can raise in transfer fees I reckon.

Welcome Grayson....the Meh One.

They'll be selling merchandise like nobody's business with that strap line.
