So they agreed that it was a non-starter. 14 minutes ago, Athelwulf said: I remember hearing Colin talking about the job offer on the radio. It was the reaction of a section of our fan base which scared Mandy off. I remember one Owls fan ringing up Football Heaven and saying that the sight of Colin made him feel physically sick. He has that effect on most people, but it's not a beauty contest. MM and Colin did speak about the possibility and it would have happened without all the vitriole. At the time it was split 50/50 so Milan and Colin considered it was better to leave it alone. He's since gone on to have even more success. Compare the Cardiff side he got promoted to any of the teams at the start of last season and consider what he could have done with the players at his disposal here. And some still put their personal feelings ahead of the success of Sheffield Wednesdsy football club. Just wow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him Steve Bruce would all be top candidates for me also jokanovic from Fulham would be a fantastic appointment They were talking about jokanovic on the radio and how Fulham have conceded the most goals, 28. Saying how he's become a manager who sets up his side to defend and its obviously not working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky one this conundrum That is beyond scary. I was a kid in the wonderful 83-84 season and the media kept going on about the fact that SWFC were back in the big time for the first time in 14 years. That to me at the time seemed as far away as World War II. 19 years FFS!!!!! Nearly half of my life, how the chuff did that happen? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthefish2002 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Think Warnock would have split the fan base too much. Cant help smile at thought of him being Wednesday manager stood on touchline with all the SWFC gear on at Bramall Lane next week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mosborough-owl Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Im going to hate my self for this but if Cardiff get rid of him .. I would personally drive to Wales pick him up and bring him to Hillsborough. I can't stand the man, however he's got personally, he's a character and his record in the championship is unbelievable. I believe we would stand a better chance of going up with him than we do with Jos..... Or he would run us in to the ground and id look back at this post feeling rather silly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know he is an abrasive character but its calculated and deliberate to create a certain atmosphere that he can work to his and his clubs advantage. If we can't see that as fans just because of petty rivalry there is no hope for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An absolute dream scenario for the media that one, on a par with anything ever seen in the Championship i think. As has already said, the fanbase is already split so can't see how a successful manager could have any more of a detrimental impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
