I'm amazed he keeps getting work. He's had one good spell and that was with us where he had a massive budget and some of the best players League One has ever seen (Pilkington, Rhodes etc) and still couldn't get us up

He's also a very strange person especially when under pressure. He has a very dour depressing way about him and its no surprise he can't inspire a squad of footballers once things start to go wrong

Time to find a new career me thinks

What system did he play at Huddersfield?
He scraped survival through the skin of his teeth last season and that won him support. He was backed to the hilt over the summer but for me he lost the plot from the moment we beat Walsall on the opening day.
For a live winnable game against Sunderland the following Thursday he lined up with what can best be described as a 5-3-1-1. He dropped Beckford for said game and we witnessed a dour 0-1 defeat where we never once tried to win the game and without even troubling their keeper. Sadly that was a sign of things to come. We have generally seen little more than negative, defensive, turgid, direct football. Good players and fan favourites left isolated, frozen or loaned out. We had a farcical deadline day leaving us with a squad of over 30 players despite Clark harping on all summer about keeping a small squad. New signings have been constantly played out of position, talented youngsters blamed, thrown under the bus and then cast aside following a summer of hype. Then lastly, complete and utter crap brought in on loan from other clubs and played regardless of anything. Then we had others who were brought in and never played. He made a big deal out of signing Thompson from Southend over summer, he then loaned him out to Bradford after three games declaring the signing was a mistake. Yet during another interview a week later he was asked about feeling under pressure, he snapped at the journalist who asked the question for suggesting such a thing and declared he needed time. He continued to set up with a negative, defensive 5-3-2 week in week out despite poor results. Even when against fricking Doncaster on Saturday, a team just above us and outside the bottom four. He opted to play attacking wingers at right wing back every week. This included left sided Harry Bunn, yet he always seemed baffled when this didn't work. All three of his league victories were followed by comfortable defeats, then more defeats. It is November and we have already used something like 34 players, it may have been as many as 32 by mid September. Despite this he still declared on August deadline day that he had his targets sorted and ready for January so we'd have seen more ludicrous turnover then if he had stayed. With the team and backing he has had and the complete pig's ear he has made out of everything within the playing squad he doesn't deserve to manage again. I find it baffling that he seriously seems to rate himself as a really good manager and that he could have turned the slump around. The awful form and embarrassing league position is entirely his fault.

Sorry about the rant.

Tbf it has been crap on and off the field for nearly two years now. Not like my ranting points about Clark aren't justified. :hypo:

Imagine going from 42k fans to 2k fans in the space of a couple of weeks. That would just be embarrassing for Grayson. He'll wait until Blackburn chop Mowbray I reckon.

Oh my days fictional numbers and slanders about crowds from a Wigan fan, I have heard it all now. :lol:

It must have been a similar feeling for Paul Jewell having managed 25000 fans at Bradford and then Sheffield Wednesday before trecking out into the decaying Springfield Park in front of 1800 fans. :lol::lol::lol::lol:

Jewell never managed Wigan at Springfield Park but the point still stands. Bury are a bigger club than Wigan and always will be. Wigan have an inflated sense of self- importance and this is reflected in their arrogant and provocative manner on here

Nothing to do with being PC HP. Lance Stoe talks absolute garbage, on this & other threads, all the time.

Probably a 14 year old who thinks it is clever to big himself up!

It's a football forum FFS. The right of free speech, not the right to be offended or dismissive of what someone else says. PC brainwashing. Either you live in a country of "free speech" or you don't. Unfortunately, you don't.

The in-fighting and bitchery of Scunthorpe 1FF is like a really shit game of thrones. Keep it up and make sure you pay off the city watch.

Treading a fine line though, but as I have said before, as long as you don't become an even bigger pain in the arse than you know who.............

Ket Iron you are an embarrasment to my club. I'll buy you a pint in The Berkeley. Ask for Paul Stow behind the bar. I'm concerned that I have hurt your feelings ya wee radge. People like you is why society is so tragic. Do gooder capitalist leeches. Sucking the breath out of our society. Make yourself known and I'll get you a pint of Taddys ya smeghead
