Grayson sacked (Confirmed)

Does this mean I have to change my avatar? ......any techies remember how that works?

Thanks, Simon. It started great and worked for a while. Not sure how many hands Bates tied behind your back, but I'm sure it wasn't an easy ride for you. Good luck finding another position - and keep those pants buttoned at all times.

A poor decision to sack Grayson.
What does Bates expect when the guy is given no money to buy players.
Grayson got us promoted, was forced to sell our best players and were not replaced, and yet we sit half way up the league.
I doubt if many other managers would have achieved so much with so little.
A sad day, like so many recently.

I hear Bates has a dog called Grayson. And another called Lorimer.

It is vitally important we make the correct appointment this time

Hopefully a new manager will get the best out of the players available to him which hasn't been the case this season

And who would you say is mad enough to come work for the old miser just now-- as the transfer window closes on their clinging fingers?

I haven't got a clue Paul, always said the choices would be limited

[rand3ll]

Anybody else think the word dispensed sounds abit harsh?

I haven't got a clue Paul, always said the choices would be limited

Which is why I'd say the chances of getting it right would also appear to be very limited....... Cue talk of David O'Leary and such.

Yes, I had to read the text twice. Not very nicely put.

Just heard bates on the Radio, saying he stop a move for a centre back.

Presumably the centre back demanded a wage?

That whole interview appeared to be him bashing Grayson

It did rather and Bates sounded rattled

There will be plenty of rumours, haven't seen the betting list yet but i suspect you could discount the majority of the candidates for one reason or another

Warnock insanely short odds, then Di Matteo in at second, other runners include Do'L, Mick McCarthy, Gary Mac, Strach, Steve Bruce all the way to Vinnie Jones at 50's

You were clearly working up to it.
