Sheaf Saint Posted 3 February, 2011 Share Posted 3 February, 2011 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/sheff_wed/9385962.stm In other words he was pushed before he could walk. Hardly surprising really. They were 2-0 up against Posh on tuesday but somehow managed to lose 5-3! Not sure what's happened to them after they made a flying start to the season, but it seems the rot started to set in right about the time we went and got that 1-0 win at Hilsborough. Looking on their local forum, some of them are already convinced that Milan Mand1ck will splash the cash on someone like Martin O'Neil. The speculation begins.

SuperMikey Posted 3 February, 2011 Share Posted 3 February, 2011 Tbf we were all expecting someone MON-like when Pardew went. Shame Irvine got sacked but considering their team they should be doing better than they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperMikey Posted 3 February, 2011 Share Posted 3 February, 2011 I think he's a decent enough manager, did alright with Preston last season (before leaving them in the sh!t this season). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skintsaint Posted 4 February, 2011 Share Posted 4 February, 2011 Didnt realise how far they have dropped...5 points off relegation. I reckon Brian Laws will get it or someone of that ilk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegrant Posted 4 February, 2011 Share Posted 4 February, 2011 Gary Megson is, rather hilariously, the favourite for the job. Disappointed Irvine got the boot, he was doing a fine job of keeping Wednesday out of the promotion race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will do his best to take Wednesday down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Appy Posted 4 February, 2011 Share Posted 4 February, 2011 Some Wednesday fans are hoping for MON. Now they are going to end up with Megson, completely opposite sides of the spectrum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Shango Posted 4 February, 2011 Share Posted 4 February, 2011 While Megson is unpopular with just about everyone, he's actually a better manager than most people give him credit for. Mandaric knows him from his Leicester days too. Could be a good move for Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are loads of ex-Saints players who are Saints 'through and through' who I wouldn't want anywhere near the manager's job. He will be a disaster for them as he has been everywhere else.

He will be a disaster for them as he has been everywhere else. Don't know what Mand1ck's thinking about. He did well at West Brom. Was decent in his short spell at Leicester, and did well initially at Bolton who were really struggling when he took over. Not saying he's the greatest manager in the world but he's more than capable for a League 1 team. His record isn't really much worse than Pardew's, who many Saints fans see as some sort of managerial god for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papa Shango Posted 4 February, 2011 Share Posted 4 February, 2011 (edited) Got em relegated. Brilliant After he got them promoted. They were struggling at the wrong end of what is now the Championship for years until Megson came in and completely turned them around. Did brilliantly in getting them up to the Premiership. Budget was very limited, so staying up was always going to be difficult (As every manager they've had since has found). But he got them back up after that. Go ask West Brom fans what they think of Megson. They were chanting his name and calling for his return for most of Bryan Robson's reign in charge, so he can't have done that badly. Nigel Adkins got S****horpe relegated too. Is he a bad manager? Edited 4 February, 2011 by Papa Shango Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Shango Posted 4 February, 2011 Share Posted 4 February, 2011 Then took forest down to league one Megson was a disaster at Forest no question, although to be fair it was a joint effort with Joe Kinnear. Megson only took over during the second half of their relegation season when Forest were already right down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep then went to forest and got them relegated to league one where they were favourites to go straight back up only to find themselves nearer to relegation than the playoffs before resigning because of pressure from forest fans.

Go ask forest fans what they think of Megson. That's fine, I never said he was anything but awful at Forest. He did reasonably well at some clubs and not so well at others. Point I'm trying to make is the same people who rubbish Megson are probably some of the people who think Alan Pardew is some sort of managerial genius (Judging by the ridiculous overreaction when he left) yet Pardew's record is not much better than Megson's. Played his part in taking Charlton down two division's in three seasons, thinks Hayden Mullins is better than Javier Mascherano etc... Nigel Adkins basically did at S****horpe what Gary Megson did at West Brom (Just at a different level). Most seem to think Adkins is pretty good. I think the ginger Mourinho will do alright at Wednesday. Edited 4 February, 2011 by Papa Shango Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
