Unit Posted 30 April 2006 Posted 30 April 2006 In the pre-match build up to the So'ton game Ray Graydon basically said he's off, anybody know if he's made a big difference, will he be missed?
Knighton Matt Posted 30 April 2006 Posted 30 April 2006 I think it was always an arrangement to last to the end of the season. Maybe he wants to get back into management? Either way thanks for your contribution Ray!
Tevez Posted 30 April 2006 Posted 30 April 2006 i think he has gave good experiance to kelly and stowel personally i think he will go back to walsall
lookwhaticando Posted 30 April 2006 Posted 30 April 2006 The OS Article says that Graydon was offered the role for next season, but he declined it as the commute from the south coast is a pain in the arse.
Steven Posted 30 April 2006 Posted 30 April 2006 The OS Article says that Graydon was offered the role for next season, but he declined it as the commute from the south coast is a pain in the arse. Graydon Set To DepartLeicester City boss Rob Kelly has confirmed that Ray Graydon will not be part of his coaching staff next season. Former Walsall boss Graydon joined the club in February to aid the team with his wealth of experience of both coaching and management. But Graydon has decided not to take up the offer of a role with the Foxes during the 2006-07 campaign. Rob Kelly said: "I'd like to go on record to thank Ray for all his efforts since he joined us at the Walkers Stadium. "We brought him in to help us out both behind the scenes and on the training ground, and his input has been invaluable. "We wanted Ray to stay with us next season, but he has decided that the travelling involved from the South Coast every day is just inpracticle. "We wish him all the best for the future."
Unit Posted 30 April 2006 Author Posted 30 April 2006 He drove up from the south coast every week? Whyy?! 2-0 down radio = off
lookwhaticando Posted 30 April 2006 Posted 30 April 2006 He drove up from the south coast every week? Whyy?! 2-0 down radio = off Because that's where he lives.
Unit Posted 30 April 2006 Author Posted 30 April 2006 Because that's where he lives. Ha i grasped that, i just thought maybe he'd get some kind of temporary home here? a caravan or something.
lookwhaticando Posted 30 April 2006 Posted 30 April 2006 Ha i grasped that, i just thought maybe he'd get some kind of temporary home here? a caravan or something. probably 1) didn't want to live like a gypsy 2) didn't want to spend a wedge for other accomodation in the area.
DaveyJ Posted 30 April 2006 Posted 30 April 2006 probably 1) didn't want to live like a gypsy 2) didn't want to spend a wedge for other accomodation in the area. Why not ? Anyway thank you Ray.
holly Posted 30 April 2006 Posted 30 April 2006 2 be fair to him though, driving from south coast everyday bit of a mission really aint it! he must have made some sort of difference or if not a difference i am sure he was a help!
Nationwider Posted 30 April 2006 Posted 30 April 2006 "We wanted Ray to stay with us next season, but he has decided that the travelling involved from the South Coast every day is just inpracticle." Nice new word that. More top notch journalism from the OS.
Jonbluefox9 Posted 30 April 2006 Posted 30 April 2006 Nice new word that. More top notch journalism from the OS. I was thinking exactly the same thing! Good luck to Ray. I get the impression he'd like a more hands on job though so I hope he gets one.
shez Posted 30 April 2006 Posted 30 April 2006 what did he exactly do...if i remember correctly the revival started before he came!
Jonbluefox9 Posted 30 April 2006 Posted 30 April 2006 what did he exactly do...if i remember correctly the revival started before he came! Enabled Rob to keep doing what he's best at and what he'd done to get the revival started in the first place. Being out on the training pitches with his players.
lookwhaticando Posted 1 May 2006 Posted 1 May 2006 Enabled Rob to keep doing what he's best at and what he'd done to get the revival started in the first place. Being out on the training pitches with his players. Bingo. He was an extra pair of (more experienced, I might add) hands. Two coaches taking sole responsibility for the players over the course of 13 games or more is a bit of an ask, really. He was brought in to help the young ones, and I believe he's probably been quite useful to them during his time here. Shame he isn't staying, as he's been here during the revival and must have had his part to play. Still, I suppose it makes our summer transfer activity all the more interesting - we need some backroom staff too now! Wonder if the Elliot-as-coach rumour will surface again (I forget the other player named in that same rumour last time - Taggart perhaps?) Exciting
securedfox Posted 1 May 2006 Posted 1 May 2006 Bingo. Wonder if the Elliot-as-coach rumour will surface again (I forget the other player named in that same rumour last time - Taggart perhaps?) Exciting Yes it was Taggart There is always going to be some reshaping of kinds to go on before the new season starts. And not just players this time by the looks of things
