Gradi has done much more for Crewe than McGhee has for Brighton.
Besides, they operate on a smaller budget and still finished above us.

Smaller budget? Are you sure? I know we have identical average attendances and they presumably own their own stadium.
I thought it was pretty similar. Gradi has done a lot for Crewe as he has been given time to show his worth. The chairman hasn't sacked him the first poor season he has had.
One advantage Gradi has is that the academy has been up and running alot longer than Brighton's.

Anyone who voted 'shite' clearly has a very inscure personality, a low pain threshold, and short memory and doesn't know what they're talking about.
Why do I say this? Work it out for yourself.

I think the first two season were very good and then poor last season averages out as good.

Own up to being slightly tongue in cheek, everyone else exaggerates in McGhee threads, why can't I?
But of course I do think he is a very good manager, so thank you for providing that option in the poll for me to vote for.
I think he is as a little bit better than Adams and Taylor and not that far behind the excellent Coppell, although I think McGhee has achieved more for this club than Coppell achieved.

Fair enough. Personally think both Coppell and Taylor were better than McGhee. Adams was good but mainly through his connections. He was a good motivator but always thought he was a bit naive tactically sometimes. McGhee has done pretty well considering the situation and has shown loyalty, but I don't think he is in any way a brilliant manager.

The amount we spend on players in comparison to them? The fact that this season they paid an agent's fee for the first time in their history to the tune of £5,000 (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/c/crewe_alexandra/4690542.stm)London Irish said:

So pretty sparse facts then.
The amount spent on players - you would have to know their wages budget compared to ours, that is always the major cost, and I don't think you do.
Our crowds are roughly similar but because they own their ground, they get to keep a far higher proportion of gate receipts. They have also received more in transfer receipts than us.
They owe their position in the main to a long-standing successful youth programme, ours is in its relative infancy compared to theirs.
All of the above are the relevant factors when comparing McGhee and Gradi's respective records, if you desire to be fair, you would consider them.
But I would say though it's a pretty redundant exercise, as both us and Crewe were clearly the beggars of the Championship and hence it's no surprise we are now both in League 1, whether one of us had half a farthing more than the other misses the point a bit.
