I think he is now that his broadcasting career appears at an end. What else does he know ?
I recall him turning down the Everton job about 10 years ago to stay with Sky and while he's knocking on a bit, 55 is he, he's obviously up with whats what in the Premiership and I'd think he would be worth a punt.
I don't know what else is left for him.

He could fuck off to Dubai with Jim Davidson. That would be good.

No reason why he couldn't if he's prepared to do his qualifications and work his way up from the bottom, but I can't see him doing that and even in the crazy world of English football, I can't imagine a big club taking a punt on him.
I'd opt for early retirement if I was him. With a salary of 1.6 mn a year he must have a bit stashed away!

Talksport is the natural home for him and he will probably be their once he has sorted out his nice little payoff to stop him suing sky.

The thing I most hate about this forum is the amount of politically correct, over sensitive, soft centred people who post on here.
Who gives a **** if people tell a joke about a black, a white a gay or a female. Its a JOKE, take it in the context its meant !
The inability of some people to laugh at themselves or to laugh at a joke directed towards a minority in society is astonishing.
Lighten up ffs.

He must be minted already, I doubt he'd want the hassle that management brings. After the dust has settled I can see him getting a juicy contract with ESPN.

Don't be so f*cking precious.
Childish of you to get worked up because some poster you don't know thinks your heroes are idiots.
Oh yeah, please take my comments in the context they're meant.

But Gray's comments weren't said in jest, they were genuine expressions of sexism. Have you actually seen any of the videos?

Who gives a toss what he said or didn't say. He's a total knobhead who's built a career and fortune on criticising refs and over analysing the game to within an inch of its life.
People on this forum questioning why so many of us are pleased he's gone seem to assume, wrongly in my opinion, that we feel the way we feel because of his sexism and archaic views. When in fact most of us are pleased with the news simply because it rids us of an ageing, dull, OAP with a fetish for technology.
When he gets his touch screen out its like watching your dad dance at a wedding or worse, watching a hairy ageing Sports presenter talk about 'smashing in' birds.

Who in their right mind would give a job to a 55 year old who has never managed in his whole life (6 months as Sheffield Wednesday reserve team coach doesn't really count).

My over-riding memory of Gray is him missing an easy header in the second semi-final of the Milk Cup at the Manor which enabled us to get to Wembley! Knob-head. ;D

Sorry for misleading everyone about this previous experience. Now you mention that, he's perfect for the Chelsea job should The Eyebrow move on
