Dagmeister Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Option 1 - Sacking Gray costs money, bringing in a new manager will cost money, who in turn will want to bring his own players in which costs more money. Option 2 - Or we could just keep Gray, which is a hell of a lot cheaper in comparison. I sure know what option MM will go for. Especially when you consider the job gray's done in relation to resources at his disposal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 If it were only about this window, then I could cut him some slack. It isn't though, we didn't do it in the summer, we didn't do it last time the window closed and we've missed out again. That's not acceptable Can I just add that I am not calling for him to be sacked but he has to take some blame for not recruiting a striker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanye West Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 (edited) Am I right in thinking Gray only got a 1 and a half year deal anyway? Or am I making that up? Just checked site and its 2 and a half. Edited November 27, 2014 by MarkTheOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0114 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 What if we win saturday? We won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Night-Owl Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Once Gray is gone as the inevitable fall guy, the next guy will be another cheap option. Operating on the same League 1 budget and working with the same poor unbalanced squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 Being lined up for a fall, which then gives Milan an excuse to sack him.

The Night-Owl Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 We won't. Can't win games without scoring. We have little chance of scoring with strikers that aren't Championship level, plus after getting rid of the likes of Reda, JJ and Antonio, we have less potential for goals from other areas of the team.

I think MM is doing just enough to keep us ticking over. Can't see any major upheavals if I'm honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 Eventually, Milan will stumble upon the manager who can work miracles with a limited budget. It is clear that's the road we're heading down. Gray can't do that, although he showed initial promise. We're now looking for another Paul Sturrock type. Clear as day.

Money has never been a consideration to Milan in the past when it comes to firing a manager. Hiring and firing is all he's good at. Thinks he's the new Alan Sugar but without the money and showbiz. Perhaps he should wake up and start backing one of his managers for a change and helping to make his investment more attractive to potential buyers or investors, because the way he's operating he's making us less attractive on top of his high price tag.

marshy Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Rather than calling for Gray to go we should be hoping that someone comes in bloody soon who can and will give us that extra push. Clearly Milan can't or won't. Until that changes it's round and round we go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Wickham and Fryatt or Antonio, loanees to cover up the shambles of our player recruitment and the mess of our unbalanced squad at this level. But the way things are going, even loanees like those won't save us in the new year because we are leaving ourselves too much to do each season.

Not much chance of that, we are becoming less attractive whilst MM fannies about operating on the cheap instead of making us a decent attractive proposition for any potential buyers or investors.

Unless it's not a worry because something else is hapening in the background. Ps - Is Arthur here yet? He keeps following me about. My attraction as a pub bore seems to fascinate him.

The only thing happening in the background, is more chancers, tyre kickers, dodgy crooks and vultures hanging about for freebies and publicity. Just to take attention away from our current owner, his loans he's taken out and the increasing debt we owe to him. And to fool us into thinking we're being taken over just to sell season tickets. Just like all the talk of going for it, getting a DOF and a 20-goal a season striker, etc which all turns out to be nothing but hot air. Anybody else think that mammadov is still in the background why Milan is being tight with the purse strings. Nope and if he is I'd be seriously worried. Ask yourself why does MM associate with crooks and dodgy characters like Sammy Yu and Hafiz Mammadov?

0114 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I was surprised he even went for Gray in the first place. He made it very clear he was looking for a big character I think he described them as "a winner". I thought we were definitely going to end up with a Warnock/Evans manager. Yet we settled for a yes man, dr boring, mr Gray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrosbyKitchens Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Why would we fire Stuart gray? He's done a better job than demolition Dave and we have a good platform to build on. Best defence and goalie in the league. New loan signing who will help getting up to fitness. Drenthe finding his legs and Stevie May about to break out. Cheer up you miserable gits.

Sadly, Gray was just a cheap option, stop-gap and the fall guy, whilst MM tried to flog us off to any dodgy crook who showed an interest. It could've and still could be so different, if he only backed one of his managers at this level in order to make us more attractive to potential buyers and investors.

gurujuan Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 My only gripe with Gray is the striker situation, oh and the Man Cit debacle. Apart from that, I'd say he's done a pretty decent job in difficult circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
