Simon Grayson had to get used to having cameras around at the Stadium of Light during the 2017-18 campaign. Said series proved popular, but it involved more chaos and drama than its Wrexham equivalent. Grayson was able to prevent documentary makers from entering his dressing room and feels Reynolds and McElhenney have struck the right balance in North Wales when it comes to football and real-life coverage.

Grayson has told , with Liverpool revealing that they will soon be delivering their own fly-on-the-wall series: “I've watched a lot of the Wrexham one and I'd say it works because it's not as intrusive on the manager because it's mainly about the two owners. They know not to shove cameras in people's faces every two minutes or record training. Of course, there's going to be odd clips at times but I think Wrexham got it pretty much spot on. Liverpool need to focus on portraying all the good elements of the football club. Whereas Fulwell 73, the production company of Sunderland 'Til I Die were, ultimately, not always looking for the positives in the environment and were looking for negatives despite being Sunderland fans.”
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Grayson added on the documentary trend in football, with the likes of Manchester City, Arsenal, Newcastle and Leeds also starring in small-screen productions: “I think the documentary provides an excellent chance for fans to see what goes on behind the scenes at a club, whether it's Sunderland or Man City. But there are also times when the last thing you want to be doing is another interview or not be your true self because there are cameras around the corner. It's a bit of a nuisance. But I do understand that the documentary provides a good opportunity for fans to see it all, too. I had a say over where the cameras went. For example, they wanted to go in the dressing room, but I wasn't having that, or there were times when I was with my family and in the car when I didn't want to be filmed. It's tough being a manager without having your personal space being invaded. You need a bit of privacy.”
