I can't help but feel like with the appointment of Grayson and confirmation we will be proceeding with an owner who won't find improvement we have accepted out place as a Championship also ran.

It's need subtle but the club has been lowering expectations for months and the takeover was our only hope of things changing for the better.

The mags went down and embarked on a clear, positive campaign with a manager who had won the champions league and la liga. We have wasted the summer and are going to be managed by a no mark bottom feeder.

Obviously I hope he proves me wrong but I just can't see it. It's an absolutely shocking plight and it won't be getting better soon. Buckle up for championship football for a long time.

Lost all faith in SAFC to get anything right under Short. Especially now he is not even trying to compete.

Depression forum this shite.
 
the official transfer window opens July 1st so we have not "wasted" the summer

short invited offers for the club, which has lead to offers coming in, which have not met his expectation

he stated he would set a deadline for offers, then proceed as owner and appoint a manager

he has done that immediately.

now the window is to open and it is to be seen, what is to happen
 
We just appointed a bloke who's entire cv is success in league one and mediocre mid table championship. Yet people on here expect us to try and win promotion. Unreal.

Hope Short will still actively look for a buyer but think we may be stuck with the useless knacker.

His first move was to appoint a mediocre no mark. Thanks Ellis, we are so grateful for your wise leadership.

Haven't been this uninspired by SAFC since 1994.

Yet we appointed the likes of MoN, Moyes and advocaat who had glittering cv's and they were all less than mediocre.
So what are you trying to say other than that nasty ellis short has made you angry?
What had hughton and Wagner achieved before brighton and huddersfield?
 
I agree entirely. Grayson is nothing more than a fairly safe pair of hands to stabalise us in the Championship. He's a cautious manager with drab football and his appointment screams out mid-table Championship mediocrity on a minimal budget. No ambition, no imagination and no excitement. We'll be an also ran in the Championship for a lot more years than the parachute payments will last.
 
Harsh calling him a no mark imo, bloke's won four promotions at four different clubs, none of which were splashing the cash. He's got a track record of being able to build competitive teams with a good work ethic on a low budget, which suits us down to the ground.

am sorry but calling SG a mediocre no mark is pathetic , he has done well at the clubs he has managed without money , managers have to start somewhere , i am quite excited by his appointment , , i wanted a british manager and a hungry one from lower leagues who is keen to prove himself , sick of has beens and foreigners.

Hughton got the mags promoted, breaking several records in the process then got Birmingham to the play offs before getting Norwich to 11th in the PL.

All in all, I'd be ok with that.

The new managers job is to stabilize the club not seek an immediate return to the Premier league, we carry too many old players that need to be moved before we can even start thinking about a return, hopefully he may pick up a few young players that can perform....

Meanwhile, in other brighter news, the world will be destroyed by an asteroid at 11.46 tomorrow
 
I think some of our fans need a reality check

We need to be folllowing the likes of Burnley, Brighton, Huddersfield putting a team together on a budget that's full of spirit and fight, not just trying to be fashionable right now. We are no longer a PL team and we need to get ourselves out of debt!

Look where it got us in the past and we don't have the resources.

While like everyone I foubd the appointment of Grayson initially underwhelming, however in hindsight he is actually what we need right now. Everything he says in his interview is spot on as well about what's needed.

Best of luck to him. He is seeing this as his big opportunity. Knows what is required and has that kind of confidence/belief in his ability that BSA had, which I think will do us good.
