...Stuart Gray could immediately take over and, depending on results might get it.  He's experienced, knows the players and could hit the ground running.  Not saying it's what I would want - I have no idea whether our current improvement is because of or despite SG.  It's just that the overarching plan seem to be to avoid becoming excessively reliant on an iconic manager and SG's continued presence may be a daily reminder that no-one is irreplaceable.

That wouldn't be as much fun as speculating about a cast of colourful characters, so I would confidently predict a new thread on here would gather a life of its own, with the overs-unders spread on the first appearance of the name Bill Bradley set at pages 3-4.
