Obviously neither is true. You are just changing history to suit your argument.

Well I personally believed megson to be our most overrated manager (until Carlos) during my years watching the club . I do enjoy the cult winding folk up though ! I also think he's overloved because he's a Wednesday fan and because he was a passionate and animated character . I dont believe however if carlos was a Sheffield lad , ex player or whatever things would be different . Most have had enough of underperforming, not turning up when it mattered and being charged an absaloute packet for the privilidge . Our squad isn't as good as some make out , but it sure as hell shouldn't be comcedong 4 to the pigs at home and losing to a team skint with the likes of Maxine and beevers in their ranks .

fatzooma Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I think people need to look past the ‘fill a quota’ attitude and remember it’s big world out there. People are under represented. White males hold all the power and as much as the right candidate should be picked, we need to remember that it’s fair that that people should be pushed and promoted as they themselves have probably been held back due to their orientation....and most certainly by powerful white males holding all the cards.

Some fair points there but like I say Megson was never hounded or abused like Carlos is - yet Carlos is arguably delivering better results than Megson ever did.

Free your mind. You're right BUT Nobody should ever be employed for a job if they're not the strongest candidate otherwise why bother taking applications from white straight males?

nevthelodgemoorowl Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Interesting topic, just. So, someone chose to post Cherie Lunghi from the manageress. Interestingly though she is deaf and wouldn't be able to hear when our wonderful fans shouted..." FFS Cherie Fek Off ! " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Carlos was from Sheffield and did the three things above he'd be lauded as saviour instead of calling for his head. If Carlos said the 'Meat on the fire' and 'Meat and potatoes' things with an accent like Mick Macarthy everyone would laugh at him rather then think of him as charismatic. One thing I am sure of if Carlos was from Sheffield the Steel City Derby wouldn't have been such a damp squib. I like Megson was he was here and did lap it up when he played the gallery a bit with badge kissing etc but wouldn't be my choice to be next manager.

Free your mind. Just because people are under represented doesn't mean they should get special preference. Managerial positions should be filled on merit, experience and character. Granted, in the past there may have been deliberate discrimination against certain groups but if you bypass a higher qualified manager just to employ one from a minority group who is less qualified then you've fallen straight back into the discrimination trap anyway. If we can find a mixed race, disabled, transgender, muslim lesbian who is better at the job than Carlos I want them on the touchline immediately...but solely for the latter reason, not because of any of their identifying factors because they are, and to avoid any discrimination HAVE to be, irrelevant.

tonyem Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 She's got to have a beard, and, and she's got to be a minority ethnic, and, and, she's got to look like Geoff Capes in a Princess Elsa from "Frozen" dress, and, and she's got to have feck all better to do with her time than to come on here and campaign for a plague of fools to take over football. She's got to ban all-male football clicques that are ruining the aspiring gender neutrality of the game. Right after they burn J K Rowling at the stake for not getting the ethnic and gender mix right in QUIDDITCH. HOW LONG before some brain-dead FART comes on here and campaigns against cruelty to FOOTBALLS?? (or goalposts, in our case...) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Are people being serious when calling for Megson?
