Oxbible is convinced that it is a matter of sorting the contract length etc, and we will have him as manager. He has turned down 2 offers,, but his reliable source insists its only a matter of time.
We’re in the final stretch of our new stadium bid, and your support could help make the difference. The council will be reviewing the application soon, so now’s the time to have your say.

Oxford to make him a third offer? The whole squad on their knees before him, begging him to accept?
This sounds like nonesense...
From what I've read of Grayson, despite his great CV, he isn't the man, at this time, for the job.
Whoever it is gets a deal until the end of the season with an option to extend/renew. If they are doing a good job and it fits with what the club wants then fine, if not, adios mark 2.
And why would any half decent candidate accept those terms?Whoever it is gets a deal until the end of the season with an option to extend/renew. If they are doing a good job and it fits with what the club wants then fine, if not, adios mark 2.

I'll answer for you, they wouldn't
Sadly good managers with options (which is surely what we want) don't take contracts like that. They'd be on a hiding to nothing with little time to affect real change and no window to work with.
So we just go ahead and hire someone and give them carte blanche to cock it up again? Clothead was the next big thing and look what that's done for us.

One may.So may one enquire what you anticipate/expect from a manager coming to a club sat comfortably in mid table for the remainder of the season?
As Dave pointed out it's nothing to do with giving them 'carte blanche'So we just go ahead and hire someone and give them carte blanche to cock it up again? Clothead was the next big thing and look what that's done for us.
One may.
Entertaining football played by a team that is engaged and displaying a desire to win and be successful.
As to being "sat comfortably in mid-table" I think that is an illusion. Repeating the performances of recent would see us drifting ever closer to the relegation zone.

I would expect it. The team has players who should deliver. The new, youthful players brought in should be able to deliver their part towards a rejuvenated team. I am of the belief that clothead tactically got things wrong. He brought in players with no pace. That pace is, potentially, back. Given that Chrissie Allen has more influence alongside Faz we should expect better performances. We are not going to get promoted this season but at least we should be able to expect some decent entertainment?You would expect that immediately? It would be achievement to come in and get anything like that by the start of next season, took Appleton a whole season at a lower level to do it.
Because they'd reject us and we'd miss out on all our targets?And why shouldn't the club play hard ball with managers?

And why shouldn't the club play hard ball with managers? Why should we allow them to dictate? You want a job? Show us that you have what we want. Why go cap in hand to every Tom Dick and Harry?
I was told a while back that DE wanted Grayson. He was number one choice over everyone else. I can see why he’d want him. It’s the best appointment we could make right now. So you have to strike while the iron is hot. These lge one specialists/Championship managers don’t stay out of work long. His record in this division speaks for itself.
If he comes then brilliant job by DE and the board. If he doesn’t I will still support whoever gets the job.
With you on that @Leysboy .... unless Ince gets the job!
Ince is part of the early years of the premiership players crowd, who think because they were big names as players they should walk into any job going. See also - Tony Adams and Teddy Sheringham.Said it before but if Ince is the answer can somebody come up with a different question.
Just can't see him ever being a success as a manager
