    Wigan bank rolled by the Whealan family.
    Bristol City bank rolled by Steve Landsdoen.
    Sheffield United bank rolled by Kevin McCabe and Abdullah bin Musa'ad.
    Bradford City bank rolled by Julian & Mark ;).

    Sheffield United spent 6 seasons in League 1 finishing in 3rd, 5th, 7th, 5th, and 11th before finally winning the league last year. I'd take finishing 11th this year and coming first next year.

    Agreed. But that would cost money. And a lot of it

    With your permanent neg attitude you might need this number 116 123. Parky was finished when he failed at Hull & Charlton. Washed up. Gone. Out of football. That worked out ok didn't it.

    If we were talking about appointing John Beck, or John Docherty (if he's still alive) or Peter Taylor I could understand but Grayson has had one spell at a complete basket case club that not even an (allegedly renowned) international manager could rescue and another spell at a club heading the same way run by a barm pot - which he's arrested and started to turn around. Our season was mortally damaged between losing at Wimbledon and Stuart going - 3 wins, 3 draws, 4 defeats in Grayson's last 10 compared to Stuarts last 10 of 2 wins, 8 defeats. He's hardly a long term failure.

    His long term CV shows he not only gets clubs promoted but where given the chance, consolidates them in the league above. He's never taken a club up and been relegated the next season has he ? Give the bloke a chance, or has he slept with your wife ??

    I thought up until the January transfer window we were over achieving under Stuart, sat nicely in a play off place with points in the bag, then something happened that no one at the club could control, Stuart was sacked there was talk about mutany within our club and if took the traveling at Blackpool to give everyone a wake up call, and I mean eveyone, apart from the great support that day every aspect of our club was questioned, it should never have come to this.
    Maybe Stefans article is a " Matter of the Heart" I for one sincerely hope so.

    No way is Grayson staying. It would have been announced by now. The only reason to leave it until after the last game is because he’s going.

    In a recent interview Grayson say he likes his teams to attack from a strong base. Who could argue with that

    No he bores me. He might of done a midget though but I can't confirm that.

    I don't care about his past.

    I see nothing to think that at Bradford City he will be successful. Nothing at all.

    As I say we will lose today if Scunny play a decent team and that's because Grayson doesn't know what he is doing.

    Upset the sponsors? Those that were leaving at end of the season? We were going to struggle to replace them and could end up with no sponsors on the shirts?

    Oh next seasons kit has got JCT and Mitton on. Those upset sponsors?

    Out of interest who would you realistically like to see managing us next season. There must be someone you like and think would do a good job?
