If he’s fit and bothered he might be quite exciting.

He clearly rates the guy so why shouldn’t we?

And/or reward Grandin with another year if he's proved himself useful? Ollie's been thrust into a job with an immediate brief window, he might be lumping for faces that are tried and trusted with him without having the time to do full due diligence on everybody he doesn't know personally given the shirt time frame available and all his many other tasks to be on with. Im sure our scouting network isn't extensive!

I am sure there is a long list of more long term signings to follow in the summer as he builds a team for us to be proud of. Obviously being in the basement division means we will have to be a bit realistic of the standard of player even Ian Holloway will attract but if he can't turn the tide who can?

Said he was class on his day in the Prem and the Championship. Did say he's not a L2 type player and that he doesn't know how he's done over recent years.
