Simon Grayson experienced success both as a player and a manager, with Leicester City and Leeds United being pivotal in his career. Beginning his journey at Leeds through their academy before moving to Leicester, Grayson played over 200 games for the Foxes and managed to secure promotion with Leeds in 2010.
Currently, both Leicester and Leeds are in contention for promotion back to the Premier League. However, Leicester has faced challenges recently, with Grayson stressing the importance of unity and support within the team and from the fans. He believes that negativity can be damaging to the players and their performance on the field.
Despite Leicester’s slip from the top spot, Grayson remains optimistic about their chances for promotion, along with Leeds. He acknowledges the competitiveness of the Championship and expects an exciting finish to the season with all four top teams battling it out.
As the race for promotion heats up, Grayson emphasizes the significance of momentum and consistency for a successful campaign. Both Leicester and Leeds have the potential to secure automatic promotion, but nothing is guaranteed in the unpredictable Championship. Grayson’s hope is to see both his former teams back in the Premier League, making for an thrilling end to the season.
