And then there's fatty Benitez who took you downI actually think he'll be a steady enough type of boss, nothing special but not disastrous. Unfortunately given your relegation and the state of the finances and the clip of your shite squad 'nothing special' isn't even close to being good enough. You needed a boss to inspire fans and players, Simon f***ing Grayson isn't that boss.

Liked what the local press had to say about the attitude of his team.
"PNE had a fine work ethic and togetherness under Grayson and whoever takes over, needs to maintain that."

Track Record of improving players;
Max Gradel, Howson, Bradley Johnson, Becchio, Beckford, Robert Snodgrass, Adam Clayton, Joe Garner, Bailey Wright were all sold for high transfer fees after being on the bench or struggling when Grayson took over their clubs
Track Record of signing good championship players for very small or no fee.
Max Gradel (Leicester reserves in 08/09, scored 20 goals in championship 10/11)
Adam Clayton (Man city reserves in 09/10, played every game for Leeds in 11/12)
Daniel Johnson (signed for Preston from aston villa for 50k in 2014. Has been an integral part of their team in championship in last two seasons)
Tom Barkhuizen (signed on a free from Morecambe in Jan 2017, won championship player of the month and championship goal of the month in March and April 2017)
Won promotion and finished 11th in the championship with the lowest budget/wage bill in the league

Wasn't my choice (or close to it) but need to get behind him.
I've said a number of times on here that we need a manager who can work within a budget and get the best out of the players we have. Grayson seems to have a record of doing this, albeit mainly with poorer sides.

Let's hope this ability carries over to f***ing atrocious sides

He'll have better resources than he's ever had before, and let's hope he gets the best out of the team and give us a bit of pride back that Moyes sucked out of us all

Ken Knighton didn't exactly get the pulses racing upon his appointment. A few years down the line Denis Smith came in to absolutely no fanfare. They seemed to do okay for us in second tier football. Just like every manager before him, he's here now, so I'm happy to give him a chance.

Now the dust has settled, there's a manager in for the pre-season and a chance to do something in the transfer market which has to be a plus. I didn't have a preferred choice of a new manager so it's welcome to SG from me, not the "star" appointment that some feel we are entitled to but probably the right man for the time and situation SAFC is in.

Fuck me kettle calling the frying pan!! Rafa the FSW is no picture and at least this guy is a manager, won't want £55 million to get out of this league

Can quite honestly say ,don't give a flying fuck what you think of our new manager
Even with 20 quid to spend ,he'll buy better than 40M worth of shite Moyes bought. Will be interesting to see what a manager who can polish rough diamonds will do ,as against the managers who think the only way forward is to buy your way our of trouble . Apparently he spent a sum total of 2M on Preston last season and gave them stability in the Championship. Imagine what he may be able to do given more funds and a reasonably decent youth set up.
