Thing is It was kind of like we're experiencing now, up there or there abouts all season not great but in a good position things whent a little pear-shaped , difference is Milan got a replacement and pulled the trigger, I don't think DC is quite that ruthless.

We just need DC to have a go at Rhodes for not scoring, then CC to call DC a c**t and we're in business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simaniac Owl Posted March 19, 2017 Author Share Posted March 19, 2017 DC will soon shine the emergency Ginger light onto the clouds. This light projects the image of and summons him to Hillsborough. HE will save us, for HE is the master of promotion and winning. Megson in!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dobbo Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Some people have amazingly short memories,highest budget, 2nd highest budget, 3rd highest budget......it really doesn't matter, to go from watching what I watched at the end of the Irvine reign to competing for promotion the very next season is an incredible achievement, we were 100% on our arses. Just ask Villa/Pompey/Charlton/Bolton/Grimsby fans how easy it is to stop the rot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some f*cling dreamers on here Maybe not sh** for league 1 standards but still nothing sparkling Semedo, Jones, Prutton and Lines complemented by a couple of shrewd loan moves is hardly mega bucks is it. Our dealings the previous season probably cost much more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malek Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Megson got a way of geting his teams promoted, and there aint nothingvfishy about it. He did great with us, and somehow it dragged his career back, or he just went out of fashion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah... about having a short memory, you might want to think back to 'The Old Guard' running the club into the ground, transfer embargoes, winding up order... Ringing any bells? The difference from being on our arses to competing for promotion was Milan Mandaric 1st and foremost. In fact in Megson's 1st half season, we went from 12th (8 points off the play offs with 20 games to play) to 15th (13 points off) and that was with more loan signings, plus we played the worst football I've ever had the misfortune to witness live. The summer before the promotion season the team, cobbled together on a shoe string and carrying a load of overpaid deadwood, was transformed thanks to Milan's money and the dark cloud was lifted from over Hillsborough and the whole place, from fans to players, was awash with positivity. Megson wasn't doing a bad job that year, was obviously part of the rebuild, but he wasn't pulling up any trees either. The decision to let him go turned out to be the right one, we were magnificent after that. Played the type of football Megson claimed, in an interview, they we weren't capable of and the rest is history. It's easy to think back and just see it Megson arriving and single handedly dragging the club back from the brink, a whole cult has formed on that belief! Not really accurate though, not even close.
