I have some sympathy for Abbott because I can imagine the parameters Rahic gives him will be horrendous. Imagine only being able to scout for players that are willing to play for 500 quid a week and must have a resale value and be shit hot, Them players don't exist. But Abbott was essentially a crap manager and let go of Wells and Madden for free which to me shows his lack of talent in this field and should never have gotten the job in the first place. Cheap Rahic puppet at best Reminds me when i was younger and going food shopping with my mum. "Go and get yourself some biscuits as a treat". I'd come back with a packet of Mint Clubs, and she'd shake her head and say "Too expensive". If she'd have fucking told me that I'd 50p to spend I wouldnt have fucked about in the premium biscuit section and would have headed straight for the Own Brand Rich Tea. My mums like Edin and I'm Abbott.

Yep, and they'd paid for their TV from Peter Dyers while yours was rented from Granada and took 50ps.

Surely Abbott got the job on Stu's recommendation. Grayson needs to bring in his own man (or woman ffs its 2018 ffs) if he's staying.

Anyway, this is getting like a C&B thread when Bronco enters and shits all over it with soporific tales of yore. 'Ooh, you're really old you are, Bronco'. 'Cheeky, so and so. Park's older than me'. Etc etc ad nauseam.

Despite SG not bringing much change so far he's the best we can hope for right now, he could still get a championship job I would think. If we start the closed season with our owners and no SG i'll be fearing the worst for next season. I just hope what we are seeing now is just him assessing what we have as folk have said. I'd still hope he could get the lads a bit up off the floor and nick a win or two soon, you'd think he will as daft as that sounds looking at the shite served up on monday in particular. If he can't i don't know if that will change my opinion or not, but the thought of edin let loose fills me with dread. SG doesn't strike me as the type to take too much crap off them. Lets hope they don't cause him to think, sod this i'm not working for these, and then buggering off elsewhere.

He looks totally bewildered by how shit we are. Bad career move for him. Being part of the coaching staff is not something you want on your CV at the mo.
He'd better off stating that he'd been in Armley for 6 months for child sex offences than putting down Manager at Bradford City.

A lot has been made of Grayson's negative tactics. It sounds to me like he wants to play in a certain way but doesn't have the correct tools to implement his own style. Whilst talk his cheap, In fairness to him his promotion teams weren't exactly dull.
"He added: “We’ve not created enough chances to win any game and that’s probably been the biggest disappointment.
“That’s not my football teams – I want my teams to excite people, entertain, get shots, get crosses in, get bodies in the box. We haven’t been brave enough to do so."
If Grayson stays on o think we'll be having a huge overhaul.

Now I know he's got fuck all to work with but there were a couple of simple tweaks yesterday that may have reduced the embarrassment. Warnock to midfield, Chicksen to LB and the twat to RB.
It's his job to attempt to make something happen. I'm not seeing much in him at the moment.
I know a few people don't like that he criticised the players yesterday but that's the one positive I see in him. He's not dressing it up, he sees shite people. He was saying there's a lot of players that I need to move on. Perhaps he sees a future here. I think he only stays if he's assured he'll be backed so it's potentially positive news.

Whilst he has an excellent CV and doesn't mind boasting about it either, I'd be surprised if any Championship clubs were in for him after 2 failed stints. 2 impossible jobs, but failures nonetheless. Unless he wants to take a break from management i reckon he'll be here next season

He’ll probably be a league one manager next season. Whether that’ll be us, or someone more ambitious, remains to be seen.

Reading Abbott's statement it's clear Grayson isn't hanging about.
With all due respect to Greg I think Grayson would be able to identify his own targets and wouldn't need a list of names providing.
