Agree. Shows a degree of respect for what he has done at the club and will help a new manager settle into things.

Basically they didn't have the balls to say thanks but no thanks anymore so they thought they'd give him a snazzy new job like what Martin Hinshelwood does for us.

Crewe insist Gradi will stay on

Crewe chairman John Bowler insists Dario Gradi will remain as manager next season despite a change of job title.

I'm actually very excited about the situation. I think it will be good for the club and Steve deserves this opportunity

Dario Gradi

Gradi says the move was decided after talks with Bowler and feels it will "be good for the club".

He will stay in charge of team selection but intends to gradually hand over responsibility to Holland.

"I didn't want to be a 75-year-old manager working seven days a week, 52 weeks a year," Gradi told Crewe's website.

"That is not healthy for the future of the club. I will probably drop dead doing the job at some point but I wanted to put that day off a bit.

"This is a better way to do things, to introduce this gradual transition because it will take some of the workload off me.

"I'm actually very excited about the situation. I think it will be good for the club and Steve deserves this opportunity.

"We have discussed things with the chairman and we knew eventually that Steve would become closer involved with the first team.

"He will have more responsibility with that but I will still oversee the football side of things."
