i think i may have come up with a reason why grant was made caoch ahead of any big names. whoever came in after jose was on a hiding to nothing. so maybe grant was brought in as a sort of sacrifice. he fails or struggles, and we the fans get upset. then roman brings in hiddink/van basten etc and we all hail him as the new messiah, come to save us from grants ineptness. just a thought.

Who knows how long Grant will last? Most of us are not expecting his stay to be a long one. But what - a few more weeks? Until January - maybe the end of the season?

Say he does stay until the end of the season and we win nothing and fail to qulaify for CL. So we get in the new messiah, be it Hiddink, Lippi or whoever. Everyone seems to think whoever replaces Grant will be a success and the good times will instantly return. What if the new guy struggles and after a few months of the new season we are still off the top four - how long will he get? I'm no fan of Grant but the last thing I want is for us to become one of these joke clubs who sack the manager every 10 minutes.

10 minutes.

Thats about as long as I'd give Grant
