So this is the question.
I think it's almost a bit unfair to rate him in one rating as I don't want to give him many mark's down really as he's improving the club continuously and it seems set to go on and on.
However the choice of Grayson, whilst it may have worked, the feelgood factor and his previous spell here could have made it successful but it just didn't pan out that way.
Ultimately that managerial appointment had to be right and match what he himself wanted, in attacking exciting football, to draw the crowds back regularly.
Therefore I think it's a mistake and given it's the football side it's absolutely key.
He's clearly doing exactly what he said he'd do, incremental improvements and over time real change. The investment and improvements to the club, squad are there for all to see. But I do think that 1 mistake was costly. He was getting in a manager with real experience and it was a choice made out of good intentions but it just didnt match his or the crowds needs and also maybe didn't take into account the recent record of Grayson.
I'd rate him 10/10 for improving the club.
On the football side hes invested in the squad so very good there, but the managerial decision put him at and 9/10. I'm not going to knock him down much even if it was a key decision, these things happen, he's one of our own and we all want the same thing.
So 9.5/10 overall and he did act quickly in getting rid to rectify the mistake.
Another huge decision coming up and whilst he may have delegated to Ben Mansford you can be sure the decision runs past him.
This one has to be right.
