Rayvin 4964 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Hardly surprising, Grayson has been an absolute disaster. I do think they had started playing better though, so it remains to be seen what any subsequent manager can do with them. Surely if they're still in this position in January, Short will have to put some more money in. He can't have them go down twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe but has he had enough and will he think it's just throwing more good money after bad? It's difficult to see who they'd get other than total mercenaries and even then you're on about Championship-level mercenaries because nee fucker's going to drop down a division / take a pay cut to go there and they can't afford to pay PL wages (plus the premium it would require to get anyone to even think about going there). It's fucking delicious either way. Incidentally (and I'm not making this up) a lad at work wants Sewper Kev (understandably tbf) and thinks a good run could see them make the play-offs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why they only spent £1m or so. Anymore and they go over the FFP as they've maxed out their three year limit. The football league or a bit more strict when it gets broken, it will be a points reduction even if Short wanted to put more money in which it doesn't look like he does. Lose/lose.

rogerbarton 24 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Would absolutely love to see them bring in Ally McCoist like Think SoopaKev might actually be as good as it could get for them.

Ayatollah Hermione 12775 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Reckon Phillips might give them all a bit of a boost so, for that reason, I hope he stays far away from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 30522 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Agreed. Think he'd get the fans going in large numbers at first at least and that might help them to a couple of home wins. With the bottom of the league being so tight that could see them climb a few places and get a bit of confidence etc. I think whatever happens they're in a relegation fight until the end of the season but something like that could make all the difference.

ewerk 26550 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 It's not like he's Shearer though. The players won't give a fuck how many goals he scored for the club nearly twenty years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 19878 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Grayson was always up against it after offloading 15 players in the summer and signing 10 for a collective £1.25m the championship equivalent of only spending £5m on your main striker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get them knuckle draggers on board and they may be able to get the players playing for them. As it is, the place is so miserable they would most likely turn on any manager who they don't love from having a history there, as soon as they lose a game or two. Which they inevitably will. And they don't have the choice of bringing in a quality manager because none would touch them with a barge pole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my thinking really, not saying he could work miracles (or even definitely turn it around to the extent they stay up) but it's probably the best chance they've got.

I noticed Don Goodman saying they've tried it all with managers from Fat Sam to Poyet and the Nazi so the only thing they have left that they haven't tried was bring in a manager from a lower division. How he managed to not realise that Poyet and Di Canio came from lower division clubs is beyond me like but perfectly in keeping with the intelligence of your average Sunderland fan.
