SanguinePar Posted November 22, 2022 Report Share Posted November 22, 2022 In case anyone is feeling at their most masochistic today, here's a chance to listen to Peter Grant spraff on about his career, I assume including his time at EEP: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0dgc687 I've not listened to it because frankly I would rather recreate one of the iconic scenes from Casino on myself than subject my ears to this, but passing it on for general interest... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted November 22, 2022 Report Share Posted November 22, 2022 (edited) Won’t be listening either, if it wasn’t for him being a perceived ‘Celtic man’ BBC wouldn’t be giving him a platform constantly and let him drift off into the obscurity his career deserves.

Tartan Army Par Posted November 22, 2022 Report Share Posted November 22, 2022 Worst Pars manager in the 37 years I have follwed Pars. How he managed to make such a mess in such a short time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How he managed to make such a mess in such a short time. There's no argument that he was a disaster as a manager. I never met the guy, but Ross McArthur said he was a very decent human being and I respect his judgement. John Hughes was also a disaster, even if his results were slightly better than Grants. He liked to portray himself as your avuncular funny guy, but the reality is that he was an arrogant bully, who liked to lord it over his squad. He was hated by those he humiliated and disliked by those he favoured. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymie Posted November 22, 2022 Report Share Posted November 22, 2022 Aside from the football side, Peter Grant was a gent. After he left he took time out to phone a number of people at the club to thank them for their help. Other managers just left without a word of thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not a thanks but an apology as the way he left the club in a terrible state. The Yogi came in and he was brutal. Thank god there was (mr cook) who took control and got the best guy in we could get in McPake and imo has done a great job. Grant,Hughes, Potter, Scott and Munro…brutal!

Piracy Posted November 23, 2022 Report Share Posted November 23, 2022 Peter Grant is a decent man. ****e manager, but he's a decent man. I spent time in his company in his Celtic days, good laugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted November 23, 2022 Report Share Posted November 23, 2022 (edited) I don’t know grant but his level of arrogance and outright willingness to blame others for his mistakes instead of looking at himself in the mirror are not exactly traits that make you a decent person.

Secure Par Posted November 23, 2022 Report Share Posted November 23, 2022 If Cook was at the club I don’t think Grant would have got a sniff at the managers job. But we have to look at what the club has gone through in the past 4 years and it’s probably the first season we have a good team/management and backroom set up. it’s almost like the club had to come down a league to regroup and start again.

First time in years we had a proper clear out and fresh management team with fresh ideas etc. Albeit a league below it seems we have a management team in charge that actually have a clue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
