Blue and white Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 The day our Lord stood proud, thumping his chest with love and affection, knowing he was getting sacked for standing up for his player and calling our then owner a rude name, said same player returned his gratitude as shown in the picture. All hail his Ginger Greatness. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megson calling his boss that is a sackable offence in itself. Milan didnt interfere in team affairs and didnt cause us to lose 4 on the bounce.

TodwickOwl Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Give it a rest Megson instilled the pride and belief back in Wednesday - right manager, right time. Showed every player what it should mean to wear the shirt. Dave Jones finished the job off. That's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jones used HIS squad, Antonio (a Megson signing) and the momentum from beating dam blavdes. Left to his own devices Jones would not have got us promoted; just look at what he did after promotion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OasisOwl72 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Megson unquestionably did a great job for us. He took over a side under Irvine that was looking more likely to leave Lge One to Lge Two rather than to the Champ. He left a side ready for promotion. Jones took over and saw it through but left a side going back down to Lge One before Milan acted and gave Gray the job to steady us. If you look back at the 2012 promotion season the catalyst for the great run was clearly Antonio and early in the season Ben Marshall. The window between Marshall leaving and Antonio arriving was the bad run which was unfortunate for Megson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnie Starling Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I think the moment fans realised things were going to get better was when we brought in Rob Jones and Danny Baath to shore up the defence. There was a moment at half time when we were playing Colchester in the 2010-11 season that the players walked off to a rousing reception which was the start of an improvement on the pitch culminating in promotion the following season.

matthefish2002 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) We are not still having the Megson v Jones debate 5 years after either of them were manager here. Both had they good points and bad points. Interesting about both of them apart from Dave Jones at Hartlepool for a short time neither of them has been employed again.

Lord Snooty Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Jones steered the team over the finish line by relaxing the players. Megson was getting tense.and perhaps that transfered to the players. Butnthe signing of Antonio and Ched the rippers antics played as big a part in the final run and finish though. Think otherwise and you've been watching too many cartoons. Megsons time at the club should be remembered for much more than on the pitch, players and games. Megson instilled a sense of belief and pride in the club. Made people unashamed to say the name. He was a defibrillator to depressed fan base. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to explain the enormity of the day. Was worth it though. Please to see the last game of the season this is also falls on the same date !! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
