Guest Hillsborough Mole Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Things at Hillsborough haven’t felt good for quite some time - with a brief respite towards the end of last season when Luhukays brand of football (coupled with a rare purple patch for Nuhiu) combined to deliver safety along with some great performances. Including the 5-1 last game against Norwich. Ironically Saturdays visitors were also Norwich - and they completely dismantled us. The whole atmosphere right now appears to be one of apathy, of resignation to our fate, the fans are extremely divided and have been for some time, the playing squad also appears divided from the outside with experienced pro’s apparently frozen out, bizarre squad selections, tactics… Everything about the club appears disjointed. The club, its fans, the players and staff need pulling together. When Chris Wilder was appointed at Bramall Lane its reported that he hired a local cricket club, and every single member of staff at the club, the players and coaching staff were invited to attend a club day - food and drink put on - and he gave a speech where he told everybody that the club could really go places if every single person that was there that day pulled in the same direction. And that if anybody at any time didn't feel part of things - then they should go to him, rregardless of where in the club they worked and he would sort things. We have rarely looked more in need of something like that - and thats why I personally believe that the catalyst to that for Sheffield Wednesday would be the appointment of John Sheridan. Hes a man who knows (and loves) the club, and its fans. The fans would be behind him from day 1. He played at the very top level for many years - a flair player. His teams play great football. The players would hopefully respect him for that. He would bring his passion to the technical area - hes a winner - at Fleetwood last season he won 46% of all his games - and it was a travesty he wasn’t retained. I’m aware he likes a pint - and maybe thats why he hasn’t been selected to make the step up to the higher divisions - but it never really hurt Sir Alex. Or Cloughie. I can think of no person I’d rather turn our team and its performances around. And importantly - after watching Jos sit motionless, expressionless on the bench for the first 15 minutes of Saturdays 2nd half while his team conceded 3 goals without making a tactical switch or substitution - I can think of nobody better than Shez to stand opposite Wilder in the technical area this coming Friday night. But Mick McCarthy would do as well… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peacock1961 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Sheridan should not go anywhere near the job, ultimately he would fail as everyone does and the best player i've seen in the stripes would be forever tarnished. Its a no from me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthefish2002 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 It would be a no from me. Managers should be appointed on how good a manager they are not because they were a good ex player at the club. Being a legend at a club is an deferentially a plus but should be way down on the list of priorities when looking for a manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S36 OWL Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I don't think Sheridan could handle the Wednesday job. Too big for him , and too much crap involved with Chansiri. Big Mick is the man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blatter Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 It will take an exceptional manager now to turn this around because the club has been mismanaged for three years. Whoever comes in to replace Jos...and it may take a few more bad defeats, must be able to manage on several fronts at the same time. He’s somehow got to manage Chansiri and put him right about so many things he gets wrong. He’s got manage the transfer dealing He’s got to manage and coach the team AND He’s got to manage the media enough to get them behind him. Bit like Carlos did at first when the pundits loved him. Sheridan is surely not that man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Farrell Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 We are too far gone. No Manager can sort this mess out. We need a change of day to day control, and a new plan from top to bottom. Ticketing, cooperate, community, wage structure, contracts, the stadium, relationships with the fans, etc, etc, etc. Everything is foooked and not where it should be. The club needs a new leader who knows how to bring fans together, and harness their strength, not divide and rob them. All just my own view, and in no way saying that this is fact. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
