Who was a Sheffield born businessman (hence hiring the Megsons) I was perplexed why he didn't bid for you before MM. I know there was a big falling out at WBA just as our first promotion happened so that may explain it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue and white Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 7 hours ago, DuncOwl said: Whether he would've taken us up in League one is a question none of us can answer. 1 answer we all know is that the football was insipid under Megson - no one can deny that. Some retorts that I've seen to this are that; so is the football now - so what, that isn't what you are arguing. We know that this team plays well when in possession of the ball and working it through the zones... Megson does not know how to play this way (and is too old and stubborn to change his ways anyway if he did) and would not be able to get the best from this team. People who can't see this are either blind, stupid or simply on the wind-up. WBA seem to be doing just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing in his previous managerial record to suggest he would be a disaster.

Bing Cosby Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 It's beyond me how some people seem to remember the end of Megson's tenure. Someone on here said something like "everyone was calling for his head" I mean seriously wtf!? As I remember it the overwhelming majority were seriously pissed that he got the boot. Yes we were on a crap run, and doubts were starting to creep in for some, but Megson didn't get the chance to turn it around. He certainly didn't get the kind of support that CC is getting now. And yet, those who are so keen to give Carlos time to turn it around are the same people who say we were right to get rid of Megson the moment things looked to be on the slide!? For me you either believe in continuity or you don't. (Unless it's a ginger thing ) I can even accept the argument that MM got it right, after all, Jones came in, we went on a ridiculous run of form and got promoted. Yet somehow history (for some anyway) credits David Ronald Jones with that promotion. I mean come on!? The bloke spent the rest of his time here on the golf course and talking about badgers; dragging his miserable mug around press conferences and telling us all how lucky we were to have him. That was Gary Megson's team that went on that promotion run, it just happened that Jones was in the dugout. Some of us hold Megson in such high regard because he brought about an environment of discipline, passion and organisation this club hadn't seen for a decade or more. I think people are too quick to forget how low the club was when he was appointed. He may not have given us "total football", but a team playing with pride and belief was certainly something we had long been without. He was never given the chance to finish the job. I'm sure Carlos will be extended greater courtesy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He never reallly looked like getting us out of League 1 He hasnt managed a team since he left us The game had moved on since Meggo left and so should everyone else who keeps calling for his return - it's pure fantasy.
