He's been on a few times before iirc, usually telling us all how great Grayson is and how he'll turn it around. He's now back telling us despite Coleman's team looking infinitely better Grayson was still the man for the job. He had a few arguments with a fella who claimed to be a Leeds fan who slagged Grayson off for the job he did at Leeds in The Championship

Ok so his numbers are already distorted...Move on Grayson did not work out
 

Grayson relative or desperate Mag, I don't know which. Grayson may well have turned it around eventually 'after a couple of windows'. surely even he could take a club this size and put out a winning team in League One, there is no doubt that under Grayson before the second window that is where we would be. his record elsewhere is irrelevant - he was not up to the job here. His removal was 100% correct and not a minute too soon.

The opinion here seems to be that Sunderland's poor start to the season was simply down to Grayson

Grayson made a number of mistakes here but his record as outlined below stands up to comparison with any manager outside the Premier League.

Grayson would have turned Sunderland around eventually (as Coleman will if given time) if he had been given a couple of transfer windows and more time to work with the squad.

Fact is Grayson made mistakes and should have been doing better but the fact also is that he was an easy fall guy for a squad of players not cut out for football at this level.

Coleman will turn it around if given time but be certain that very few of the current squad will be involved next season.

Grayson was brought in to rebuild but only given until the end of October = not enough time.

Look at Bristol City 3 wins in 28 last season under Johnson; didn't sack him and look where they are now.

Grayson began his coaching career at Blackpool where he enjoyed a six-year stint, first as a player then as manager, during which he guided the Seasiders to their highest league place for over 40 years.

He ended his career at Blackpool and after a successful spell as player-caretaker manager he was handed the managerial job on a permanent basis in the summer of 2006. Grayson then led Blackpool to the League One play-off final in 2007 and after gaining promotion he secured their Championship status.

After taking charge of Leeds in December 2008, Grayson led the side to a fourth place finish in League One. Leeds won their remaining 11 home games that season, matching a 40-year-old record from the Don Revie era.

In his first full season, he guided the club back to the Championship with a second place finish in League One, securing automatic promotion on the final day of the season with a 2-1 win over Bristol Rovers. Season 2009/10 also saw a memorable victory for Leeds as they beat Manchester United in The FA Cup, resulting in their first win at Old Trafford since 1981.

Leeds would then enjoy a successful return to the Championship, as Grayson's men were in play-off contention throughout the 2010/11 campaign. Grayson was also awarded the manager of the month award for December.

The club parted company with Simon in February 2012, despite Leeds being just 3 points off the play-offs. On leaving Elland Road, Grayson had a remarkable win percentage record of 49.7%.

He later enjoyed an instant impact with Huddersfield Town as he guided the club to the Championship for the first time in 11 years, after they defeated Sheffield United in the play-off final. He remained with the club until January 2013.

In his first full season in charge at Preston, Grayson guided the Club to a 5th place finish in League One before winning promotion in 2014/15. Grayson guided Preston to two consecutive 11th place finishes in the championship in 15/16 and 16/17.

Grayson enjoyed a 17-year playing career that saw him make over 500 career appearances.

He started his career at Elland Road before moving to Leicester.

After Leicester City he enjoyed successful stints with Aston Villa and Blackburn Rovers.

The major problem was he lost the supporters and the management followed - Short required a fall guy - however he snookered himself by the guff he talked - came out with some really puzzling shite that no one understood. if he had been given a transfer budget he may have done ok. The simple fact is, no matter what he did at previous clubs he was marked on what he did here. Unfortunately he did nothing here and it could not be allowed to go on like that. Similar situation @ Swansea - Once you lose the fans and cannot get results no matter what - your out. There is too much to lose nowadays in monies to just be given unlimited time. That would be the same at any club nowadays. He will no doubt make his mark at a.n other club and I hope so as I had nothing against the bloke, he just turned out not right for us. looks like we have the right guy now hope so anyhow.
 
We shouldn’t have let mcmememy leave - was he sacked or a mutual parting of the ways?

3 more seasons and Cameron Duncan would have been playing for Brazil and we’d have been mid table in the 3rd division. Yipppeeeeee!

I know it's the season of goodwill but please just feck off, you are history. You had your chance and blew it. Mr Grayson is a nice bloke but that's about it.
Onwards and Upwards.
Are you his Dad ? You obviously have an affiliation with him, a junior football coach perhaps?
Anyway it doesn't matter who you are, he had his chance and failed.
