And before his last game win over the poor relations from S2 we had lost consecutive games to Blackpool, Exeter, Stevenage and Chesterfield, scoring once in the process.

steelowl Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 failure to see the rebuilding job megson had to do on virtual fumes compared to the present splurge after irvine had blown MM's cash is symptomatic of selective memory by people above i respect as well we had some dreadful results under megson he wasn't supported by MM until he got antonio but he eventually managed to mould a fighting team that was finessed by jones helped by an blunt idiot ruining their chances I would love to see had he 30m what he had done it wouldn't have been as pretty perhaps but he's a better promotion record than CC ( I realise this wouldn't happen he's no yes man and an abrasive b*gger) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had the third or second biggest budget in League One. He was allowed to sign a number of players during his time here. Yes - he turned things around - but I'd expect any half decent manager to sort SWFC out in League One. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P12 W2 D2 L8 F10 A25 I have no clue where you are coming from. Megson record P W D L Win % 62 28 12 22 45.16 As I said Megson understood what it is like to be a Wednesday fan. Under his regime I felt proud to be a Wednesday fan. I went to Oldham, Rochdale, Piggy Lane etc (pretty sure you didn’t) knowing that the team would give 100% and that the manger would not suffer fools gladly. He would have a game plan for every game. It would not always work but he would front up to the media with passion and refreshing honesty. IMO DJMortimer you are one of the most irrelevant posters on Owlstalk. You love to pontificate, google statistics and neg other posters but contribute little or nothing. What is your point? What are you saying? Do you want JL in or out. If in why? What is your rationale? If our, what is your solution? Edited March 3, 2018 by Lawrie’s Left Peg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall he did a decent job for us at the time, but nothing to merit the hero worship he gets from a few loonies on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMs fault was that he'd given most of his cash to irvine Imo I don't think he did back megson enough he didn't have the funds left certainly not to the level we needed if he'd got marshall back who knows that was a glorious promotion by jones and the blunt collapse which we wouldn't have been promoted without Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Tibbs Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 (edited) 5 hours ago, Owls_fan_since_1983 said: The problem is who we get in to replace him, Allardyce will be free in a couple of weeks. In all seriousness who'd want the job. No money to spend, aging squad and a chairman who is way, way, out of his depth. I've previously negged the calls for Megson but I think it would be a sensible call. I thought after the Cardiff game we'd got the right man, but happily admit I was wrong.

Nath83 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 5 hours ago, bigdan2003 said: Inherited an injury ravaged, unfit, uninspiring, unprofessional, soft, spineless “professional” footballers. Absolute bottlers. We can blame Jos, and I’m not completely convinced, but those players need to take look at themselves because they are not conducting themselves as professionals. Sooner we ship some of this lot out the better. Completely agree. Jos was a random appointment and not who I would have chosen, but the guy has inherited a 'B' squad full of bottlers. Realistically, who else could we get in that could do better with the hand he's been dealt. This was a chance for some of the 2nd string to prove their worth and they've blown it...big time. Have nothing against the lads from U23s thrown in at the deep end but far too may of the others are not cut for Championship football. I'd stick with Jos (for now), let's judge him when we have some of the big guns back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BingleyOwl Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 3 hours ago, victorturner said: I actually do not think we have any "very good" players except FF, Hooper, Westwood and Lees in his form of two years ago. Bannan would be OK if he played further up the field. Dawson is more promising than Wildsmith. There is not a threatening striker on the books although Joao is worth cultivating. FF carried the scoring department. You’re missing my point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
