vulture_squadron Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Sturrock. Have to say though, there's one manager I felt never got a fair crack of the whip and that was Paul Jewell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando_Trustful Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Licked. He also asked me to find his £1.5 million hole. Wasn't sure what he meant at the time but looking back I got it badly wrong. Did you find his special brown hole by accident?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shezza91 Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 BIG RON - FACT Look at the side he inherited from Eustace (Greg Fees and Larry Mays) and look at the players he brought in and made Legends at Hillsborough. It was an era that I will never forget and one I look back on with great pride. Thanks for the memories Ron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killaowl Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Jack Charlton. Saved SWFC from slipping into Division Four and probably out of business (well before HMRC got involved). He instilled pride back into the Club after years of ridicule. Took the eventual FA Cup Winners (Arsenal) five games to knock us out when we were a Third Division team Got us out of the Third and to the edge of the First. Under him we beat Sheffield United 4-0 in front of 49,309 fans at Hillsborough. Read that again, over 49,000 for a Third Division (League One if you prefer) game. We were never relegated under Big Jack. He left with dignity not like some I could mention (character in the Bible), the same person that managed to get us relegated on one occasion. Jack Charlton was the greatest (certainly post war) manager of Sheffield Wednesday ................you may now close the thread. You said it all, then big ron second, wilko third and francis forth then a massive gap to :st2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
