Simaniac Owl Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Megson is needed back now. Carlos is ruining everything built since DC took us over. The Megson will sort us out football wise. Believe in 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killaowl Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Why so much negativity about our Gary ffs he sorted a load of crap out that Irvine had bought then pushed on with his players that got us promotion, it was his scouting and I'll repeat His scouting that brough In Antonio, without him we would not have got promotion Jones or not. Have a look back how many goals we scored from set pieces and it's no surprise that west brom have scored more goals from set pieces in the premiership than any other team ffs wake up, he is our saviour, the question is would he come.

Megson brought in some cracking players for League One many of which held their own in the championship and, in Antonio’s case, went on to be selected for England.

@owlstalk Posted October 24, 2017 Author Share Posted October 24, 2017 Megson was horrific as manager of Sheffield Wednesday That bad it needed DAVE JONES to come in and get us promoted after Megson's side faltered, stuttered and stopped, whilst playing the worst football in our history Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take off the blue and white tinted specs and look at the facts (I posted them above) The football under Megson towards the end was as bad if not worse than the last 6 weeks under Carlos.

Megson left the team and squad in much better shape than that he had inherited. Again this is anything but horrific. Megson, in League One, signed the likes of Marshall, Antonio, Semedo, Baath, Lliera, Rob Jones, Bywater, COG. If our recruitment policy in the last few years had been anything like that under Megson we would now be in the Premier League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We weren't closing anything - we were slumping to an all time low when it came to the football we were playing and the results we were getting Thing is with Megson - all the fans of his simply ignore the actual facts about what life was really like in his last 6 to 9 months of him being here. If Megson fans could acknowledge that we were terrible, the football boring and unsuccessful, then I'd take them more seriously, but as it stands all the Megson fans just choose to ignore the reality of what it was REALLY like then.

Again - this is so inaccurate in many ways Firstly all the signings he made were pretty much irrelevant in the way he'd got them actually playing on the pitch (e.g. painfully defensively with no good results) Secondly the signings Sheffield Wednesday have made over the last year or two have been beyond Owls fans wildest dreams in reality. We were going bonkers for Jordan Rhodes for example - and then Mr Chansiri went out and spaffed a bucketload on bringing him here. Don't diss the quality of the players we have at Sheffield Wednesday and try to compare them to Rob Jones and Bywater for god sake...

York_Owl Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I think you’ll find that by beating the pigs, Megson’s last great heroic act, we closed the gap by three points. They just could not handle the pressure from there on in. Very similar in fact to what happened post BDM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite having completely misconstrued my post you have, unwittingly, highlighted what a fantastic manager Megson was. Two if not three of the players signed by Megson, Antonio, Marshall, Baath six / seven years ago, would actually improve our current first eleven! And this is despite the number of signings and millions we have spent over the last couple of seasons. what an eye for a player Megson has what a visionary Megson is.
