What a load of shite!

Fleetwood Town​

On 6 December 2012, Alexander was appointed as the new manager of League Two club Fleetwood Town.[39] Upon his arrival, Fleetwood were sat in seventh place in the league, though had recently been eliminated from the FA Cup by Aldershot Town.[39]

In his second season in charge, Alexander guided Fleetwood to promotion by winning the promotion play-offs, but was subsequently sacked in September 2015, following a poor start to their 2015–16 campaign in League One.[40]

Scunthorpe United​

On 22 March 2016, Alexander was appointed as the new manager of League One side Scunthorpe United.[41] In his first full season in charge, Alexander guided the club to qualification for the promotion play-offs where they suffered a 3–2 aggregate defeat to eventual champions Millwall.[42]

On 24 March 2018, it was confirmed that Alexander had parted ways with Scunthorpe after two years in association with the club; his side had gone eight games without a win, though left the club sat in fifth place.[43]

Salford City​

On 14 May 2018, Alexander was appointed as the new manager of newly promoted National League club Salford City, signing onto a four-year contract, following the departures of previous joint-managers Bernard Morley and Anthony Johnson.[44] In his first season in charge, Alexander guided Salford to qualification for the promotion play-offs,[45] in which they recorded a narrow 4–3 penalty success over Eastleigh, having drawn the match 1–1, to reach the final at Wembley Stadium, where they were 3–0 victorious over AFC Fylde to reach promotion to League Two.[46]

During his second season in charge, Alexander guided Salford to the final of the EFL Trophy, though the final of the competition (which was initially scheduled to take place on 4 April 2020) was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which also resulted in the league season to be postponed.[47] In May 2020, clubs of League Two and League One voted to end the season prematurely, with the final standings being decided in a points-per-game format, which resulted in Salford finishing in eleventh place.[48] Alexander was sacked by the club on 12 October following a 2–2 at home to Tranmere Rovers which left the club fifth in the league and unbeaten in the opening five games, with Paul Scholes immediately announced as his replacement.[49]

Motherwell​

On 7 January 2021, Alexander was announced as the new head coach of Scottish Premiership side Motherwell, following the departure of Stephen Robinson and replacing interim manager Keith Lasley.[51] His first game in charge of Motherwell was a 1–1 draw against St Mirren in Paisley.[52] On 10 January 2022, Alexander extended his contract with the club until 2025.[53] Motherwell managed to finish fifth in the 2021–22 Scottish Premiership, despite only winning five games after the winter break.[54] Alexander left the club by mutual consent on 29 July 2022, following their elimination from the Europa Conference League by Sligo Rovers.[54]
 
If I was taking a wild guess I’d say Graham Alexander/his agent/someone else connected to him has decided that £50 in betting is an inexpensive way of getting his name talked about for managerial jobs.

Actually suspect he has ability and will do ok at the right club. But rather like MA, it wouldn’t work here and would just rub salt in the wounds.

Phil Parkinson has never played for or managed Preston (though he is from Chorley way).

Would take ex-Preston if it’s Brian Barry-Murphy. In general it’s not a point in their favour tho.
