Groundhopping Owl 4,496 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I suppose if we are going to get rid of him, this is the time to do it, give the new coach time to make signings and learn the new squad. Personally I remain opposed to getting rid of Gray, he can still take us further and continuity is highly under-rated in football imo. Link to post Share on other sites

He is under rated for a reason,because he isn't up to the job as our home form would tell you. Link to post Share on other sites

PopePiusX 3,129 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Slightly disappointing understanding of the word 'under-rated' going on here. I don't think Gray deserves to be sacked but at the same time I think there are better managers out there. You have to take risks, and for every Alex Neil there's, well, there's a David Weir.

Ronio 11,844 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Cant see Gray going if I'm honest. If anything continuity with Gray at the helm is the way forward. Link to post Share on other sites

Not trying to kick up a massive argument here but what about the away form? 13th place in the championship doesn't suggest to me that he "isn't up to the job". Link to post Share on other sites

The Night-Owl 6,233 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Maybe Gray could be kept on in some capacity? Depending upon who is appointed and whether or not Gray would be not against being moved back as a coach instead of being head coach? Gray has done well for us, its debatable whether or not he could turn us into a realistic promotion candidate and whether or not he could attract and bring in the players we need. If it is true, he should be respected for the very good job he did in turning us around after Dave Jones made a mess of the promotion squad. Last season he made us defensively strong, defensively we were top 6 material but attacking wise we were a long way off and looked more like a relegation side going forwards as a team. That said in his defence he did make us play some attacking and entertaining stuff when we had promotion caliber attacking options on loan after he took over from Dave Jones the season before last but this season we just didn't have the attacking players to push on and get nearer the play-off's. All in all he's done a very good job on a shoestring budget and he deserves respect and hopefully if possible he should be kept on, if not then we should wish him the best for the future.

Ronio 11,844 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Gray has lead us to one of the highest league positions in the Championship this century. Surely that's a positive. Link to post Share on other sites

richowl 3,513 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I don't think Gray is the man to take us to the next level. It'd be great to keep him on as a coach but I really can't see him turning us into a promotion candidate. Link to post Share on other sites

Spot on, done a great job and massively over achieved but deffo not the manager to lead us to a promotion charge Link to post Share on other sites
sm9ai 8 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 He is easily one of our best managers of recent history. with us now being rich can we find a way to keep him, otherwise he will be snapped up by another championship club and is guaranteed to get six points from us.

Groundhopping Owl 4,496 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 5 home wins would. A fair point but the final league position shows imo that our home form was an aberration - regression to the mean alone would see a boost in our home form next year, not to mention the addition of more attack-minded players who can take the game by the scruff of the neck and a new pitch that actually enables us to get the ball down on the floor instead of hoofing it three feet over Nuhiu's head. I'd at least give him a chance, it would seem hugely unfair to sack our manager after our most successful season in years. Link to post Share on other sites
gurujuan 13,057 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Not a great start for the three man committee if true, barely a month gone and it's 2 down, 1 to go. That's almost Weeds like negligence Link to post Share on other sites
