It's actually a decent post by Raef. The Football under Grayson a lot of the time wasn't pretty to the eye, but he got results. In League 1 he had a large budget for that level, and he did his remit to get us promoted. He rightly deserves a lot of credit for that.
Our first season in the Championship wasn't great football. But it was all about keeping us safe, and that was done with ease in the end. The 2nd season in the Championship we had the brilliance of McGeady, especially in home games. That was a huge difference between his 2 seasons in charge at this level.
The Sunderland job was a blessing for us. Grayson was incapable of turning us into a promotion contender in this league. I honestly think we would have ended up sacking him a few months into the new season. There were a lot of fans proven wrong who said we could do no better than Grayson. The difference between Neil and Grayson is like chalk and cheese. We got a much better deal with Neil replacing him.
People forget we had a bad run of form at the end of our second season in the Championship. And he's taken that bad run with him to Sunderland, Bradford and Blackpool.
Your post is a decent, fair and comprehensive post about Grayson's time in charge of PNE.
Raef's isn't.
The timing of Grayson's sacking by the Donkey Lashers is bizarre. They're not going to be promoted or relegated this season.
They've just recruited more of Grayson's players in the transfer window.
Grayson needed more time.
