Welcome Simon Grayson

[Kid Galahad]

Not who I wanted at all but seeing as he's here I wish him the very best of luck, I hope he's a Reidy type of appointment where most were underwhelmed but he came up trumps, whatever happens it's a bugger of a job he's got on his hands......

 

[SAFC Wilks]

Jesus Christ man lads. Best we could have hoped for. Get behind him, he will be alright for us.

Spot on.

 

[heroesof73]

We know they all say the same stuff but I did like what he expects from players tbf

indeed, and the places he has worked he will know the genuine players. Pleased that Stockdale has a role to play anarl, he will be able to tell him the strengths (and weaknesses) of the squad that are left and advise which young uns might make the step up!

 

[moo]

All the best Simon lad.

 

[Stockton Mackem]

Mediocrity confirmed.

Give it a rest ffs

 

[MakemX]

Why are you embarrassed matey?

Under the circumstances of the club and with respect to SG working within limited budgets in previous roles he's ideally placed.

If you feel you can respond without pictures, please do

So obviously this was going on last week or was it the week before when Bracewell left given Glyn Snodin is coming in as assistant. We were clearing the decks with an idea what was happening.

Yep it all hinged on the takeover talks by the looks. Sorted in advance of them failing

 

[Super Colin Todd]

Dead man walking....

Not sure most were underwhelmed with Reid like? We'd sacked Micky feckin Buxton and got Peter Reid who had finished 9th 5th and 5th with city!!

Lucky bar stewards will end up with McGeady. We couldn't afford him. Most exciting player I have seen in a Pne shirt over the past 25 years. Incredible talent which Grayson somehow unlocked. Enjoy

 

[red and white pantalooms]

ffs give the bloke a chance before some of you crucify him, sometimes a face just fits a club and they do well, at least give him a chance !!

welcome to Sunderland, bring back some passion and desire in the team and you will do alright

 

[Plank]

He's a solid appointment.

Those who aren't prepared to back him really baffle me.

Yet were buzzing for big Dekka.

 

[Goat Hoof]

Meh. Mid-table here we come.

fingers crossed.

i'm on board, best of luck to the bloke. FTM.

 

[PitYacker]

Welcome Simon, I for one won't be baying for your blood when it inevitably turns to shit. You aren't to blame mate.

 

[Notorious Decka]

Glad he's got rid of that awful hair. Don't think I'd have been able to take him seriously with that mess.

 

[Laidback Jack]

The argument "He hasn't done much in the Championship" doesn't really work. Moyes had done well in the Premier League and he did absolutely shite in the same league with us.

It's not an attractive, eye catching appointment but the position we're in we can't be chasing anyone. It's done now lets see what happens.

 

[Malloy]

It is what it is, have to try and make the best of it. Dont know what some on here are thinking, there wasn't a que of big name managers falling over themselves to get the golden fleece.

We mock the mags for being deluded and we are just as bad at times.
