Arthur Bach Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Megsons first responsibilty is to Sheffield Wednesday Football Club. Lets stop the sentimental and partizan tubthumping.

RichSheffWeds Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Megson's responsibility is to his employer. Just like any other employee. His job is to manage a team of people. Unfortunately the individuals he has inherited have under performed in every aspect of their job. Turning that around in any business takes time.

darra Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 From Today's Star. CAPTAIN Tommy Miller has told The Star he is in the dark over his future at Sheffield Wednesday. It was initially thought that the midfielder missed the 2-0 defeat at League One leaders Brighton at the weekend because of a hamstring problem he sustained at home to Tranmere Rovers. But, it emerged afterwards manager had left out Miller from the starting line-up because of 'contractual reasons.' Miller, whose deal runs out in the summer, is just a handful of matches away from activating a clause in his contract. It stipulates Wednesday would have to offer him a new one-year contract extension. The 32-year-old, who has scored nine goals in 36 appearances this term, said Megson told him before training on Friday that he was not feature at Brighton.He hopes to hold contract negotiations with Wednesday chief executive Paul Aldridge this week to clarify the issue. "Gary (Megson) was perfectly honest with me and told me he had to pull me out of the team," Miller said. "It is disappointing but what can you do? It is out of the manager's hands and my own. I feel like I am in limbo. I don't know whether I am going to get another game but hopefully it will become clearer this week and something can be sorted out." Since arriving from Ipswich Town on a free-transfer in May 2009, Miller has started 35 league matches and made 14 substitute appearances, scoring eight goals. He added: "It is frustrating because I want to play regardless of whether I get another year or not. Hopefully everything will be resolved sooner rather than later. "The club are not happy with the current deal but hopefully we can come to some sort of arrangement. "It is a strange situation because I am very happy here. "My wife and kids are happy here and my kids are due to start school in September. I like the area and my family have enjoyed it." A frustrated Megson said he had no choice but to omit Miller from midfield. He played Joey O'Brien in his place. "I said two weeks ago that some of the things that go on at the club beggar belief and that (Miller's contract) is one of them," he said. "There are a lot of things we have to deal with that are a problem at Wednesday and deal with it we will." Judging from that there's room for negotiation and both may be willing to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p.c guru Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Surly if Tommy Miller or is agent put in it writing to the club. They want to cancel the clause in his contract. Then this would be ok for him to carry on playing, until the end of the season??? if we're not going to extend his stay at Hillsborough, then he's in the shop window for another club. It also helps us out by having extra cover in midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke_Owls Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 do we want tommy miller anyway its 32 injury prone on a bit of money 4k a week i heard not had a brilliant season yeah hes scored 9 goals but penalties and tap ins dont count Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way can we afford to let another year of that championship level wage to be added on. If he would take 3k a week for a year it might be worth a go, but he's hardly worth breaking the bank for.

bigrbuk Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I'm a bit undecided on Miller. Would I want him to have another year on 6.5k? No Would I like to see younger, more hungry players in the squad? Yes Are there any of those out there who would sign for us? Who knows If we can find suitable younger players (no kids mind, you don't win anything with kids!), go for it, but I wouldn't be upset if he signed again, albeit on a more reasonable salary.

Guest londonowl1 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 would love Miller to stay next season. For me one of the only players we have with a bit of quality. give him a years extension, make him permanent captain and let him lead us to promotion. We are a poorer team without him in the middle.

MM's, megson's, and the clubs choice this one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are a poorer team without him in the middle. i hope we're setting out to secure better players than tommy in the middle...though in a better m/f both he and coke could prove their worth...but, at the right price... i imagine that tommy will be offered an extension (though at reduced terms)... £2.0k a week, and a humdinger of a win bonus would be top wage if i was signing 'em on (paid to those who play)...

vulva Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 For £6500 a week I'm sure we can find a better, fitter, younger and more consistent player than Miller. And one with a possible future re-sale value. As for having to uproot his family, as with many others in the squad, hard lines. When you're part of a team that lose 5-1 to Exeter, 4-1 to Plymouth, 3-0 to Tranmere etc etc you suddenly lose a degree of control and choice over your footballing career. All the best Tommy, shut the door on the way out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best Tommy, shut the door on the way out. 100% correct. Miller has proved he is a decent player in the handful of occasions hes managed to put more than two games together without being injured, but for £6k+ a week in League One we can do better. He's another player who we need to get out the door at the first opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sheff Owl Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Weather Tommy is a good player or a bad player - his legs are gone, he struggles to get up and down the pitch imo. The thing is he has had too many injuries and time for him to be moved on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that he's got to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichSheffWeds Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Time to move on. I'm sure Miller is a decent bloke but we need younger, hungrier, more energetic players. We've been the retirement home for too many players in the twilight of their careers for too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best Tommy, shut the door on the way out. spot on he's never done it for me and is very lucky to be anywhere near 30 appearences this year he scores the odd goal and some happy clappers think he's the next John Sheriden he's the same as Purse was when we signed him too old and too slow and that was 2 years ago we need players that actually want the ball when was the last time did anyone see Miller want the ball from a throw in, just watch him he hides behind other players and always points for the ball to go elsewhere, useless TW@T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh_weds_we_love_you Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Amazing how a player can be unavailable through injury for most of his contract, but when he needs to play 30 games to get a new one, he's fit and raring to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Thought Tommy Miller was one of our better players in the last two games. not seen enough of him to suggest hes the answer for next season though.agree with most views, leave the contract situation to the directors. i would hope for the money, we would be able to get someone a little more reliable and certainly younger. Better? im not sure. As long as we replace with better, theres not many players im going to be sad to see leave. what will annoy me is if we end up signing players that do no more than the players we already have. Megson HAS to get these summer signings bang on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
