The Official Next Manager Discussion Thread

[Horsfield_No9]

Simon Peach says Gray took training today. Looks done. Whether another senior man comes in above him as suggested by that other journo remains to be seen.

[Wearethewhites]

Gray has taken training this morning by all accounts, as per Simon Peach's Tweet on Twitter.

I am told former #SWFC boss Stuart Gray took training at managerless #FFC today"

If true i hope he has had  them doing the boring repetitive defensive drills.

[Horsfield_No9]

I am done. I didn't think they'd sink so low, still clinging on to some hope that it isn't him....

Sadly this is it. I think there is a chance they want a big name advisor/senior above him as suggested by that other journalist (Wayne something?) and Curbs will be gone in the next couple of days if he's not already.

Apparently Gray took training this morning. Not sure anyone else has mentioned it.

;-) Sorry only joshing.

Let's give the bloke a chance!!!!

Managerless? Are we looking for a manager? I thought Rigg said head coach?

[rusty shackleford]

The odds are too low for it not to be him now. 1/9. If this whole thing has taugh me anything its that odds mean f*ck all but theyre when theyre that low its nailed on

It's interesting to see the majority of Sheffield Wednesday fans on Twitter seem to think he's a actually good appointment for us and will do well.

[Fulham76]

Here comes what Khan calls 'the next level of success'...

Surprised Khan/Rigg, (whoever), would think that someone with just about 5 years unsuccessful management, (half of that in the lower leagues as well!!), would be the man to deliver that  fp.gif

:merry christmas:

Was just about to say.....

Twitter is 50/50 split between Wednesday fans saying he's a great guy and will do well here, and Fulham fans going mental

I have to chuckle at people trying to shine up this turd of an appointment.

[rusty shackleford]

He probably will be a dud, but im willing to bet 90% of the people slagging it are going off wikipedia

If true, good of the club to let us know.

Not really, just stating it as it is.  If he has got the job he will have my support, I wont be writing him off straight away.

BTW, if you guys could give this thread another 2,000 views before he is OFFICIALLY announced, that'd be great.

That way I'm on the podium for most views AND posts

[BobbyTheBrain]

The stats show he's mediocre, Wikipedia isn't needed to judge anything. We swapped a mediocre midtable non entity boss... for a mediocre midtable non entity boss and it took 4 weeks to do it.  The comedy never stops at FFC.

I need to work hard to stay positive! :)

I need to ask again: Is Grey going to be head coach even if we sign a "big name manager"? I guess a new manager want to pick he`s own staff.

Hope we get some more concrete information ahead. Difficult to see if Rigg has a common thread with the appointment.

Quite often a coach takes trianing before any announcement, exactly what QPR and Brentford did last week
