That's the thing about football ... ....its not really about football all He was taught that at an early age .. His dad no doubt Big Jack Definitely Uncle Brian (bag of sandgate ) And a good spell at Norwich with a respectable team I'm not with the Meggo for Manager mob . But he' s up there in my Wednesday Hall of Fame , on the top table .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturrock side was put together by Turner whilst Megson put together his side. Sturrock finished 5th whilst being given the time to finish the season. Megson would have got us finishing above 5th.

That defeat just colours my memory of Megson ,for all his blue and blood.As for the utd defeat, sure it hurt, but I've got over it.What's your point, anyway? I see you’ve blanked the Irvine era from your memory too. I find it odd that you just focus on one or two bad games which should have been expected really given how bad we had become under Irvine. we were headed for the fourth division! Megson kept us up that season and in his first full season had turned us into promotion material. Given that it took Big Jack three seasons to do that it just highlights what a great achievement that was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You obviously didn't watch us get the shambolic game against Huddersfield or the shameful events the other week against the pigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Sturrock has got two promotions from the championship on his cv I’m in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A degree in people I suppose you could say. Think Megson type of management is you will either love it or hate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see...Sturrock inherited someone else's team (who were in dismal form) and managed to get them promoted. He did so whilst working with arguably the worst group of owners that the club has ever had. Megson was backed by Milan Mandaric (despite what some like to claim on here) and managed to get us to third. As things stand we were likely to finish in the play offs under him and then it is anyone's guess whether or not we'd have gone up. So, once again, you're talking sh*t. If was you I'd get someone to start paying you for doing so. You'd earn a fortune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do appreciate that may be very difficult for you to do. You are one very angry man. Did ever snub you? Or were you denied admission to The Cult?

What is happening to our club on the pitch isn’t funny. We need leadership, strength, fitness, tactics, set pieces, game plans and passion. Carlos isn’t delivering, Gary Megson can and will.

We've moved on, even if you and about 5 other people on here haven't. Megson has had his day and that's why he's topping up the pension fund with his mate Tony at West Brom. Decent manager back in the day, but he's not going to come back, no matter how many times you post about it on an internet forum which is populated by a small section of our fanbase.

The Batman Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 (edited) Megson took Irvine's team from 12th to 15th... Then DJ took Megson's team up after a 13 match unbeaten run ( and much much much better football). So you could say he did worse with both sets of players.

Still a decent coach and manager. Proven by him working for an established Premier club. I think you will find a surprising number of people would have Megson back tomorrow. Just ask people at the next home game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
