Gary Megson lives in Sheffield and will only manage Wednesday.

Good post, not saying Megson should manage us again, his days are over.

 

But the way some try & put a negative spin on Megsons time has my head scratching, for the reason.

 

Megson built a promotion winning team, with unknown players, he just fell out with Chairman, which was his Achilles Heal, as a manager.

Which coincidentally for those calling for him as a replacement is also Nigel Pearson's problem.

I accept he's Megson is devisive. Loved and hated by Wednesdayites in equal measure.

 

Neither side of the divide seem to understand the others likes / dislikes of Megson. He clearly fell out with Mandaric, and this was the one and only reason why he was booted out after beating the dirty red and white ########s in his final game in charge of Wednesday.

 

My opinion is if he was appointed next week:

 

- He'd stop picking players out of position

- He would offer a simple and effective style of play, which I would guess would be based on 4-4-2.

- The players he picked would know what there responsibilities and objectives were, and he'd hold them accountable.

- We would start picking up points.

 

I didn't see a lack of effort or commitment from any of the players yesterday, what I saw was a lack of a coherent plan, and not for the first time.

Megson would get results.

Another game gone. 0 points. A dinosaur manager who achieved 2 promotions to the premiership, playing attacking football against the bottom teams and parking the bus against the top teams. Knows what is needed to win games in the lower leagues and has achieved that. Kept Wednesday up, turned Hillsborough into a fortress. Turned the atmosphere around. Won games, I always thought that was a must. Moved Wednesday up to third. Knew he was getting fired before the derby but as a true Wednesday fan beat the reds. Mandy hated him and he hated Mandy and how he was asset stripping the club. He's had job offers, doesn't want to move out of Sheffield. Talked to him this morning, he'd been told DC asked Mandy about him. I wonder if Gary should tell DC about Mandy. LOL.

I don't think it's up to DC who we get, the chicken runner is in charge.

I mean, with the best will in the world why doesn't DC get rid. Maybe because he's "intergral" to the Sheff Wed set up.?

Obviously you’ve had too much extra sleep...if Megson were a manager he’d be managing. His ‘90s style of football ended years ago and I’m glad it has.

 

There are two types of manager: lump it forward and chase or pass it around and entertain the crowd.

 

There are two types of fan. One that wants results at any cost and one that pays for entertainment; both want as many wins as possible.

 

Monk might not be good enough but our club is run by a footballing idiot. A clever man would have retained Mandaric for a season to show him how to run a football club. DC is a fool with his dads money...we’re a sick club. Replace Monk? We’re still a sick club.

Agree on that point in principle but it might not have been possible. It's not like Milan stayed in England after he sold up was it? Chansiri could easily have asked Milan and he turned it down. Nobody knows other than the two involved.

Yep, true.

 

But there will have been someone that could properly mentor him. It’s clear that he needed/needs it.

Indeed he would. Like, for instance, Stevenage 5-1 Sheffield Wednesday.

One result in isolation. What a ridiculous argument.

The trouble is it wasn't the only one. The most embarrassing for sure, but by no means the only one. (Can you imagine the meltdown if Monk had been on the wrong end of that scoreline.......)

We are a day closer to the return of the ginger king

[gurujuan]

What is it with our fans, too many aspiring to have us playing like Wimbledon. That’s why we’ve ended up with someone like Monk. He says the same things about work rate and running through brick walls, but little about working with the ball. Of course you want your players to be honest, and work hard for the team, that’s a given, but what about the creative side of things? All that route one stuff was past it’s sell by date when Megson was here, so trying to implement it now is ludicrous. 

[Paul..]

No thanks.

Megson came in and made some changes that were effective at first.

 

The style of football, combined with making the pitch less wide.   He had a certain way of motivation too, worked with some players not with others.

 

He's the type of person we should be looking at, maybe not exactly him though.     

Martin O'Neill and Roy Keane. Imagine being in the dressing room with them three.

You're true, but maybe we can't risk or attract an expansive style manager currently. We might need a Megson, Pearson or a McCarthy type who also knows the club and the fans ect.

That is a possibility, yes, but by all means get in someone who can get the side organised, but not at the expense of discarding any attempts to play football. Think someone like Pearson would be a better bet, or a manager like that. A manager who plays with a style that we could maybe evolve from, without it needing to be such an about turn.

Yeah Pearson would be the best one from those 3, but I doubt he would come.
