bebby Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 (edited) I wouldn't want him to be permanent but he'd certainly organize the players in the short term. This would give MM the time to get the right person in. Come on MM it makes sense. Edited January 23, 2011 by bebby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedazzleruk Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Maybe with Sean Mac as his No2, when the team played for Sean Mac the first time, they played with freedom. Not so much the second time round, but a wilko/ Sean combo may just buy MM some time to get a quality manager in for the first time since I don't know when!

frastheowl Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Going on his last two managerial posts, he would do nothing to change our fortunes. Certainly there's no evidence to suggest he'd "steady the ship." he managed to transform Peter Taylor's unbeaten formidable England Under 21s side, into a shambles within half a dozen games and then went on to become a manager to oversee one of the most disastrous seasons in Premier League history at Sunderland. I hope MM is currently tying up any loose ends on Gianfranco Zola's contract. The last thing we need is Wilko in charge for any length of time.

@owlstalk Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 ARE YOU ALL MENTAL !???? Howard Wilkinson is one of the biggest promoters of dour football you can find !!?? I hold him jointly responsible for the football at the moment And if you dont beleive me - you just watch the next manager he brings in when Irvine goes....

BRADDAZ Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 No. No. No. No rumbleing way. I'd rather he had **** all input in managing or appointing a manager - thanks. But stick to the day job Howard (LMA role). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scram Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 (edited) I've been saying for many years now that we need a fresh start and a different direction - it's been needed since the horrendously misguided appointment of Wilson We need to forget Wilko, "Seanny Mac", Waddle, Shezza and all the rest - and just forge a completely new path Our academy needs to deliver and i'd be looking seriously at McAuley and what's being produced and demanding MUCH better - no way on this planet would he be getting anywhere near the 1st team gig Wilko is a nice guy who could have his seat in the directors box and enjoy a vino at the match - but it would be made clear he would not be sought for any advice or input regarding the football - any of it - we've (wrongly imo) asked him back into the fold - tasked him with advising on football decisions and everything has turned rank rotten - this is way worse than i thought it could ever be even at my depressingly pessimistic worst - nearer relegation than promotion in the 2nd half of the season - really? Maybe some of the worst and most rabid anti-Laws critics are re-evaluating just what a good job he did in comparison - in the league above where most teams have a clutch of players who can hurt you - not here wheremost teams can just about put one foot in front of the other - being THRASHED at Exeter - and Orient?!?! It's gone beyond horrendous and Wilko has to stand and take his share of the blame for that Ex legendary players are like shining beacons who we all hold tremedously close - but for now lets leave them there as the fondest of memories - Turner and Wilson were doing okay and forging careers for themselves - they were hopelessly inadequate and underqualified for our job and not only did it ruin us but it went quite some way to ruining them - do we want that for us and Shez? Seriously? Personally i don't think he's a, proved himself up to the task at Wednesday (though he is doing a good job it's nowhere enough yet to risk taking him on) and b, i don't wanna gamble with his hero status We need the type of atypical appointment like we made when BFR was made manager - that to me is a breath of fresh air - a totally different way - i'd also tell the manager i want somebody who isn't a slave to useless technology and nonsensical stats - it's rumbleing embarrassing having somebody sat there punching bullshit into a computer for it to be analysed before we get thoroughly arse raped at Orient - **** off with that poo poo and get back to the basic tasks of geting players to play as a team and know our own strngths and use them! I'd love us to go for a KK, Zola type - i wouldn't like us to go for somebody like Big Sham but even he is like Atko on an adventurous day compared to the stifling misery of the HW/AI axis - i think Allardyce has an ago that is still waiting for the call from Inter or Chelsea. Just looking at it as an overview it does seem the foreign managers have always held true to a philosophy of playing football even if they were relatively untried - i'm thinking Martinez, Sousa, RDM, Zola.... So maybe that should be our next direction Edited January 23, 2011 by scram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
***HIRSTY*** Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Wilkinson either needs to go with Irvine or completely take a back seat in relation to the football side. It looks like Wilkinson is heavily involved in the scouting of players which is worrying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So maybe that should be our next direction I couldn't agree more!!! What this club needs is a BIG name manager. Not Sheridan or Waddle or Megson, or any of the other ex Wednesday players we used to idolise. Not Wilko either, please Milan, don't even think it!!! This club is too big for them!!! The history, the supporters demands, the ground, etc. etc. BIG NAME, LARGER THAN LIFE PERSONALITY, that's what it needs, that's what it's always needed, but the club has been too small minded to see it!!! C'mon Milan, you know what needs to be done, don't let Wilko or anybody else stand in the way!!!! GO FOR IT!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 (edited) As much as I hope that MM knows enough about our history to protect and prolong the traditions of this great club, hopefully he'll be blissfully unaware of the fact that Shez was such a legend and is doing an ok job at a local rival, whereas the stooges were only too aware of such things and completely lacked the imagination required to make a visionary appointment. I'm hoping and praying that Milan will be single minded when making this appointment, and that whoever he appoints is strong enough to stamp his authority on every level of the clubs on field activities rather than bow to Wilkinson's footballing philosophy.

theowlsman Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 You're assuming we'll need a caretaker?I bet as soon as Irvine is gone there'll be a replacement lined up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
