This is my view
24 hours ago I woke up and was eager to see if we had new owners, fresh ideas, new money and a new manager. Today I wake up with the same owner, possibly no new ideas, possibly no money and who as manager...Simon Grayson?
Firstly, I applaud Ellis. I have been one of his many critics this season but he pulled the plug on the grounds the Germans were not right for the club. He could have pushed, cashed in and walked away. It is common knowledge he wants out so something must have been seriously wrong for him to decide to say no after many days around the table. Leeds, Cardiff and Blackburn all spring to mind
Secondly, Simon Grayson. Last night my neck muscles were in agony from shaking my head in disbelief, but we need to give the guy a chance. Dont know much about him, but I can imagine his one and only remit is to get the club into the premier league. Whether it be 1st, 2nd or via the play offs in a penalty shoot out and as fans we need to accept this. I am not bothered if at home the football is dull and we scrape many 1-0 wins or away from home we shut up shop and settle for draws. Over the last few years, I cant say we have been blessed with fast flowing easy on the eye football with many wins on the way.
Finally, the players which he brings in, I am not bothered in the slightest if they are not big names or internationals, we are a championship club with limited funds. If he brings in players who are not house hold names but at least show they want to be at the club and week in week out try and string results together, then I can imagine many of the 1000's at home will be happy.
Grayson is coming in to a depleted squad and as some have mentioned as a club we are already 5 weeks behind our rivals, lets support him and let him do his job
