View from my mate who was a Season Ticket Holder at Leeds

Well, I love Larry. He brought us up from league one and we weren't far off playoffs to prem at the first time of asking. He's a tracksuit manager and been accused of getting too matey with players (rumour he knobbed Andy O Brian's wife). But he plays balls out attacking Keegan style football. Usually either get hammered or do the hammering.

He was a victim of Ken Bates at Leeds. Sold all our best players.

We also call him agent grayson because we always beat whoever he's managing since he left. Look forward to the Sunderland fixture!

Mixed bag really

This forum is amazing tbh.

Hailed McInnes as the best jock since Braveheart although he got sacked from Bristol City, but slate Grayson who is a very well respected Talent developer who took a team from relegation candidates to Championship dark-horses on pure talent spotting and no budget.

Doesn't say much for Andy O'Brien if Simon Grayson can shag your misses! Bit of a looker is Simon mind! :lol:

It's f***ing seriously depressing mate. I actually can't believe how much shite we've had to endure. It's just one body blow after another. We literally have no good news, none. It's a constant shit storm.



This. It's a shocking appointment. We really are scraping the barrel.

It'll get worse before it gets better. We will do well to stay up next season. The club is a joke, from top down.
 
Evening from Sunny Preston. Firstly, I appreciate what a big club Sunderland is so I understand why SG would leave us and he leaves us in a fantastic position with a very talented of youngsters. I wanted to come on and let you know exactly what I think of Grayson.

He took over PNE when we were genuinely looking over our shoulder for League 1 survival. He tool over in January and put any fears to bed early on. The following season we failed in the play offs before promotion the year after. Our first season in the championship was all about stablising the club. Very solid, no frills football but... this season we have played very attacking football, counter attacking with a lot of flair - not exactly the style Grayson is known to play.

Thee best thing about Grayson is the man management. He really gets 110% out of every player and creates a fantastic team ethos.

He can pick a player and rise their stock or at least play a big role in their development - Pickford, Reach, McGeady. Not to mention the freebies Hugill, Robinson, Pearson, Barkhuizen, Woods, Maxwell... all worth a few bob now.

He is loved at Preston and will be a huge loss. I imagine, if given time, he will consolidate you this season, with the aim being promotion next season. He isn't the big name many of you will have wanted but get behind him and he will deliver.

Shame to have lost him at this stage as all Preston fans started to believe it could have been a big season for us.

Just remember you may be a big fish in a small pond in the Championship but attendances and history goes out of the window on matchdays! Plenty of good established teams in this division so to expect an immediate return with your current squad is a bit steep!

Good luck
