Giving managers money doesn't always guarantee success either, look at Warnock (ok not literally) works far better on a shoestring than when he's got dosh to waste on Gary Madine.

theowlsman Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Appointed a good, experienced, Championship manager in Bruce and things started looking up again. Well, who would’ve thought it. I hope Mr C reads Owls Talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarn owl Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 I would have Sturrock and Gray back in a second. Who needs Mourinho................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnsie Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 No real issues with King Sturrock, yet Jones seems to get more stick for a similar "failing". Grey, solid, but a bit boring. Same with meggo. Enjoy Laws and Carlos the best in terms of how we went about the game. Remember the 3 worldies away at Leicester?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason we were gutted Megson went was the timing of it just after beating united. If he'd been replaced the week before not many would have been too fussed. It all went downhill after that for Jones, miserable sod, I was glad to see the back of him. " You don't become a bad football manager overnight". No Dave it took you a few months. Basically it went downhill as soon as Terry Burton left. Hence why Jones has done knack all since. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's working with a shoe string and then there's working with net spends of zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He spent what, £6 million getting Wigan out of League 1?! Ok so he did well at Bradford (then left for some reason) and Wigan. What about: Wednesday, Derby & Ipswich? As far as I can tell, he's without a club since resigning as assistant manager of Oldham last year. He's done well at 2 clubs out of 5. Hardly the definition of successful.

Although Carlos was probably the best coach, having the best win ratio, and at a higher level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
