Grayson Admits Chairman Makes Anything Possible

Simon Grayson has praised the way that Dean Hoyle runs Huddersfield Town Football Club and was keen to state that anything is possible when you have a chairman which backs you as much as what Hoyle does. Grayson was left disappointed with the collapsed loan move that could of seen Jermaine Beckford sign for the terriers on Friday but the manager reflected on a successful transfer window even with losing prolific striker Jordan Rhodes;

"We worked so hard on the Jermaine Beckford deal simply because we felt he would have improved the football club. We have strikers up there who can do the job, but you just want as much quality as you can get and the extra competition for places. I was always looking for an attacking player whether Jordan had left us or not."

"Losing Jordan didn't make a difference to that thinking. We got very close to doing the Jermaine Beckford deal but you have to keep plenty of options. Deals are set up, then they break down, but that's the transfer window for you."

"I think it should close before the season starts because I spent all night on the phone trying to get stuff tied up when, as a manager, you should be concentrating on the game coming up."

Grayson did manage to bring Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Hammill in on loan until January and this is something Grayson is very happy about;

"I'm delighted to have got Adam and I think people could see what he can do. He puts defenders on the back foot by running at people and then he has the quality to pick out a pass. He is a versatile player – he can play off the striker as well as on the right and left and he gives us options. I have worked with him before and know what he's capable of, but he needs to play some games to show that."

"What will happen next on signings I don't know, but anything is achievable because I've got a chairman who wants to back me and we'll do whatever we feel is the right option for us."
