I’ve known harder times at Rochdale, says Gray

EDDIE GRAY believes the misery currently embracing Leeds does not compare to the hardest job he has faced in football – managing Rochdale.

Leeds may be bottom of the Barclaycard Premiership and on the brink of administration, but caretaker boss Gray is adamant that life in the lower reaches of the Football League is far more stressful.

Although Leeds are in debt to the tune of stg£78million and only recently revealed a British club record loss of £49.5million, Gray yesterday offered a reality check.
