Key Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) "Owls: It’s make of break By nobody in particular" A nothing article with a headline that's not even worthy of calling a schoolboy error! What do these local journo's do all day? Edit: It was by B1GGs of course in the Sheffield Telegraph Edited July 28, 2011 by Key Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jimbob Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 And then the article begins with "ONE simple, forthright sentence sets the tone and the agenda for Sheffield Wednesday this season." Haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sheff Owl Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 What i think he is trying to say is..... ONE simple, forthright sentence sets the tone and the agenda for Sheffield Wednesday this season. ONE simple, forthright sentence sets the tone and the agenda for Sheffield Wednesday this season. “I won’t tolerate anything less than success.” Those seven words belong to owner Milan Mandaric, uttered ominously on these pages even before the end of last season. It’s not exactly promotion or bust for the Owls. Thanks to Mandaric, success and survival as a business no longer go hand in hand. But the demands on the management are as exacting as ever. And, as the club’s saviour, no-one can dispute Mandaric’s entitlement to make them. So it all adds up to a make-or-break nine months for as he bursts with desire to revive his beloved Owls. Nine months? Some reckon you can make that nine weeks - or less - if Wednesday suffer a poor start. Then again, Mandaric has set equally exacting standards for himself in suggesting he will be very self-critical if they fall short. And it could be argued that the club is more on trial than Megson; he, after all, is a manager of Championship and Premier League pedigree. He’s Mandaric’s choice, too, and doesn’t have a fixed deadline. Yet the possible penalty for falling behind schedule leaves little to the imagination. Mandaric is not exactly a stranger to changing managers and the broader view would be that Megson has to secure a return to the Championship in order to savour his longer-term ambitons.

sheffield_dave Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 It's a pretty nothing article in all fairness, without wanting to join in this B!ggs witch hunt. We all know what are aims are this season. They're the same goals the chairman wants, the manager wants, the players want and the fans want. The only party that, as usual, I have doubts whether they're prepared to back us towards those goals is the local media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Big Guns Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 flip it milan spend your cash or your going to be diisapointed poo poo or bust spend a couple more of them millions or no chance of promotion and the sack for megson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 the article in summary, for those who cant be arsed to read it; i know nothing about any potential transfers no one at the club returns my calls. If Wednesday do poo poo, Megson might get the sack. But Mandaric did promise him more money, so he might have a ready made excuse. i get paid too much to write this gonads.

theowlsman Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 The Countdown is nearing its ultimate conclusion as excitement builds at Hillsborough. I say Ashley, the countdown is nearing its ultimate conclusion as excitement builds at Hillsborough. As some speculate that is already on borrowed time, spare a thought for Danny "Toby Jug" Wilson across the city at Bramall Lane. In a desperate attempt to curry favour with the natives, Toby Jug has had to resort to socialising over a beer with the United faithful in order to win them over, and get them listening to the gospel according to St. Danny. Not only does he know that a time bomb is already ticking, he also wouldn't be surprised to go home to his bed to find a horse's head waiting for him. But enough of his wife. Toby Jug has probably taken on the most difficult job in football, that of turning around the fortunes of a club heading towards oblivion and obscurity. Futhermore, a club lacking financial support or indeed, any degree of serious backing from the ooh-la-la, shake your shoes and wear a bra, back street car park boys. In comparison, is on easy street. Although harbouring concerns that Uncle Milan has lost his wallet, Megson is well aware that he is already steering his club towards a recovery after a 15 year coma. Signs are already there that with one or two more additions from Home Bargains, to add to his solid looking first eleven, Wednesday can become serious movers and shakers within the league they find themselves in that came about as a result of a superfluous coaching badge expedition. King Gaz, as he surely will become known, needs meagre resources to turn his club around, which is in stark contrast to the quasi religious underpriveleged at S2, whose best hopes rely upon a serious investment enquiry actually emanating from a pukka organisation not being touted from a Far East hostelry owned by Fergie's asian brother. When asked if he was concerned about Milan's reputation for hiring and firing at a whim, and being mid-game in a real life hide and seek adventure involving Uncle Milan's capet bag of riches, he simply replied "I'm going to get us promoted no matter what. Concerned? What's that then? We've got HMS Pisstheleague II in harbour, stoked up, and ready to sail. We're going to rip this league a new 'un with or without Koumas and Mellor". Can't say fairer than that can you? theowlsman SWFC North West correspondent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
