I think the other one was Jack Marshall who was Alan Brown's assistant manager and who became manager when Brown left. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torryowl Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 marshall wasn't very good but strangely the greatest game I've ever seen and the best performance by a Wednesday side both came with him in charge . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack got the job on a caretaker basis when brown went back to sunderland,we didnt rip up any trees,but he convinced them into giving him a season. We went 4-2-4,but just didnt have the players that suited that formation,it was bizare. Yet we tonked man utd 5-4 after being 4-2 down,we hammered Leeds in the cup,but for 20 minutes in the first game we only had Ritchies goal to show,the replay at elland rd we dominated the game despite Johansens early goal,bremner limped off after 10 minutes and leeds could have lost by a FAR greater margin. Jack became frustrated quite early into his reign,the move for Clake was pivotal to his plan,hed wanted the club to sign the out of favour alan hinton at forest the season before he took over,but the board baulked at the 30k asking price,forest even offered to lower the price,if they could take Gerry Young,but Brown wouldnt let Young leave anyhow,then Hinton got injured in the reserves and the deal died.
