Grayson apologists

I think a manager can only put players in the best possible position to perform...after that, its up to the players. I don’t think Grayson was the right man for the job, but I also think the players performance didn’t help either. Hopefully its been fixed with Colemans appointment and we start to get more consistent results...but then again this is Sunderland and it could go tits up at any time.


Helps when you have a manager who realises the best place each of his players can perform in and tweak how they play rather than playing players out of position - where they have no idea and that robs them of belief and confidence which gets worse every mistake made. Then this malaise spreads to others - bang cluster feck which was us all day long until Coleman arrived.
 
Short made a mistake in appointing Grayson. The early results reflect his incompetence, rather than serious shortfalls in the quality of the squad (although admittingly it's not great).

He made up for that mistake by peddling him and opting for an ambitious appointment in Coleman. It was a good decision from Short I have to concede.

Short probably had zero to do with either appointment.

Bain is in charge of the football side.
 
I really wanted it to work for Grayson, sadly I was proven wrong & he turned out to be an absolute disaster for us. No wonder the Preston fans were laughing when they got rid & appointed Neil.
 
Time to retire from public life.

We have a long way to go of course.

But Coleman has shown immediately what basic organisation can do. He talked more sense in his first press conference than Grayson had all season.

Time and time again we get people saying it's the players not the manager.
It's nearly always the manager.


Could you actually name any? I think the disappointment and disillusion with him was universal.
 
As has been said there were a few, many have disappeared. One in particular was either him or someone close to him.

I imagine that in the end everyone had given up all hope, except his granny.

However, every cloud has a silver lining - his dismissal thanks to his abysmal mediocrity has just coincided with the availability of Coleman - great timing on his part.
 
I think it was a case of ‘safc excess manager syndrome’ that made me inclined to stick with him but by October I’d reached the end of me tether.
Thats how i felt about Moyes even though i knew he wasn't right for us from the moment he did 'that' interview post Boro at home. Even then though i thought he should have gone before Christmas especially when Rowett was made available around that time too.
Grayson though i ran out of patience with far quicker. After Moyes stinking the place out all last season i didn't think we could afford to stick with him in the hope he turned it round and i would have peddled him after the Ipswich game.
 
Every post is for attention. Do you post hoping no-one sees it?

My source was wrong. I have to live with that 24/7. And it was Karanka.
You have to live with making an incorrect post on a message board 24/7. It's not like you invaded Iraq and covered yourself with a lie about them having weapons of mass destruction. That said, I'm sure you will be able to get counselling to come to terms with your anxieties

I was being somewhat facetious mate in truth.
