Wasn't Grayson's budget at PNE pretty low too? And I can't imagine he had that much to spend at Blackpool either.

I just think it might be a bit too far of a come down for him. From managing big clubs like Sunderland and Leeds to MK.

Also he must have his family all settled up north - would he be totally committed
?

His budget wasn’t the biggest at PNE by any stretch but it was a Championship budget. And in League One I’d argue it was bigger than ours. But I haven’t got the facts tbf.

Two ways to go for PW

Grayson - Vastly experienced at L1 level, chance to stay up, build and challenge next year. Promoted with 4 different L1 clubs and knows how to get results. Will have good contacts at various levels in terms of bringing in players. Likely to jump ship once a bigger club flashes their eyes at him unless he has been so badly traumatised by his Sunderland experience

Micciche - Knows PW, Academy and Club inside out. Chance to "reconnect with fans" Likely to build from within with emphasis on bringing youngsters through. No managerial experience so potential for relegation higher. No obvious connections that would assist in recruiting players for a dogfight. Would majority of fans and/or PW accept going down?

I know that sounds like I'm nailing my flag to the Grayson mast, but I'm not. Either is a good appointment depending on if you are looking at now and next season (Grayson) or a longer term project (Micciche)

It seems Warburton wants to play football the MK Way

Take it from a Sunderland supporter - poo is a massive understatement!

I do get the points about L1 track record, experience, etc. Just as long as everyone knows what they are getting in for on the pitch.

RN has been on borrowed time for quite a while, would have thought PW would have someone lined up ready to take over. New man needs at least three players defender, midfielder and a striker, perhaps on loan, but need to have experience, at this level.

Nicely summed up. I'd prefer we took the long term approach. I can still see three worse teams than us in this division, Bury, Rochdale and Southend. Its going to be tough to avoid that fourth relegation spot battle with Oldham or AFC but simply playing our best team from kick off would give us a fighting chance.

The Daily Record have got us interviewing Alan Stubbs 'this week', if true perhaps we are going to get a new man sooner rather than later.

Additionally just seen Ben Garner in the lists from Sky bet, I recognise nearly all the names (or have at least heard of the people) but Ben is a mystery, anyone able to shed some light?
