If he's this super manager, whys he unemployed? Would of thought being a super manager he could have his pick of jobs? Just moved house so he has other things to do. Still has media work. Has family. Why should he jump into a job every time he's not a manager? Exactly he's not hungry for it.

Yes exactly this Gas 1970. It's the same with the players, they are always better coming up than coming down. I wouldnt want a manager or player who doesn't need to work anymore but takes a job for a couple of years just to fill his coffers. All the players we have sold Taylor, Bodin and Harrison are on an upwards curve and are hungry to do well. A hungry, passionate manager like DC is the perfect fit for us rather than someone who takes the job in between TV appearances and uses us to swell his bank account for a short time, but doesn't bring us any success unlike DC who has been extremely successful and imo will continue to do so, although he has a tougher job now than before with the apparent change of attitude at the top. I understand the general theme of your post but we have had some really good signings over the years with players on their way down. With dc lee mansell,chris lines,andy monkhouse and jermaine easter all played their part to a greater or lesser degree in turning the club around. I agree. It's a bit different with players as you need that blend of youth and experience in a squad. Players in my time like Terry Cooper, Alan Ball, Gerry Francis, Kenny Hibbitt, Gary Waddock, Gary Penrice Mk II, Mark Walters and latterly Andy Monkhouse, Jermaine Easter, Chris Lines and Tony Craig have in my opinion all brought that valuable commodity of experience and know how that comes from having seen it all before. There will have been plenty of others I've not thought of. A squad full of 30 somethings would be no good...and we all know you win nothing with kids. At squad level it's all about the blend. At manager level, at this club at least, it seems that young and ambitious is what works.

Graydon was quite exiting to watch, fast and tricky ,went on many a mazey run but more often than not finished by blazing shot miles over bar or past post, so not in the Harold class!Godfrey combative half/back (modern midfielder)who could win ball pass it and finish ,bit of a poor mans Paul Scholes, swap worked well for Villa and Rovers, happy days! Graydon had electric pace and was very exiting to watch but did weird things like run across the pitch from right to left wing or would mess up his final ball. lewis haldane and danny leadbitter are poor mans versions of ray graydon. Whatever their weaknesses in full flight these players are a joy to watch imo.
