Offside Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 It'll be interesting to see how Preston fare without him - he's done an excellent job over the last two seasons of establishing them in the Championship seemingly without spending huge sums of money.

Even if he gets sacked his reputation will survive as Sunderland is a crazy club and he'll have a big payoff. If he does well, his reputation will be enhanced, and he will earn more in the process.

Now that the sale of the club is off, Grayson might have a bit, but not much, more security. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Yup as stated 3 year deal. I like Grayson, one of the nicest managers to talk to the fans after the game. Peston will miss him, I know a few Preston fans who will be upset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Mortis`s earlier post sums up their feelings and even from outside I tend to agree. Hard act to follow. 5 hours ago, Mortis said: I think its fair to say Simon will be leaving us for Sunderland and he goes with a heavy heart from my perspective but wishing him all the luck in the world as it will be a huge financial increase in salary I would suspect , more local to his family and a budget that we will not have in my life time , he has been a wonderful ambassador for us for over 4 years and has done a superb job building a future for the next incumbant and has assembled a decent championship side on a very modest budget - maybe he felt he could take us no further and had over achieved and I think that he may have been right only time will tell , the club is run well and I suspect they have known for a good week or so that Simon was likely to move on and do think the owners will find ' the right fit ' for a club with our budget and restraints. Grayson will be fondly remembered by the majority of Preston fans and even the football was getting better ! , thanks for the four years Simon and I hope he gets his Premiership chance in due course - Mortis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No no, you obviously missed that he signed a new 5 year contract and they looove him and he loooves their fans. Second to none they are..!

pnefcok Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Was told last week it was all agreed and just needed the green light from Sunderland once the takeover talks had finally broken down. It's a shame but he's been here a long time now and it's understandable that he wants a new challenge, at a very big club too and probably on double the money he was on here. I'm hearing Rosler is the front runner but still early days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hearing Rosler is the front runner but still early days. Daryl Clarke would love it at Preston. Not only would he finally get to manage a team against us, his bitter sworn enemy (ignore the fact he's never managed against us) AND Preston have a dog on their club crest. Ok, it's a sheep, but I don't think Daryl's too fussy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So some stability may ensue. I heard an interesting stat on radio today, whenever Sunderland has been relegated from the premier league they have always reached the play offs (at least) in the next season. If true that's a good record of bouncing back. They get huge crowds relative to their population and average form - they've averaged over 40k at home for the last five seasons despite never getting any higher than 14th.... I think Grayson is a good fit for them, a fine record and he deserves his chance at a big club.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
