Might be why he hasn't been given the job permanently, as DC would hate to sack him next christmas. DC will get more cannon fodder in for next season, almost certain.

daveyboy66 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 We're top six in the form table and top six in the clean sheet table so we've got what it takes to stay up. No need to give Thompson the job... it's not broke so don't change it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would likely get a big pay rise so why wouldn't he. Would probably know he would be lucky to last a year (as all managers at Championship level know) but would also know he is unlikely to get a chance like that again. I know he is doing well at moment and deserves to be given it until end of season but just think we need someone more experienced next season. Our problems wont magically disappear if we avoid relegation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't honestly see that a new manager would improve us, it might set us back. Carry on Neil, we won't win every game but win one lose one is better than 2 draws and being "unbeaten".

A new ‘modern’ manager comes in with all these technicalities and bullsh*t which just confuses the players Ive said it a million times on here.

jonnyowl Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Neil Thompson is going to be a legend at our club, even bigger than Big Ron, well If My England save on Football Manager 2020 is anything to go by. As I was dominating the globe with England, Neil Thompson turned Wednesday into the dominant club in Europe, here are the honors; 2026 Europa League winners 2027 Champions League winners and FA Cup winners 2028 Champions League winners and FA Cup winners Given the good start hes made with a mediorce team, the sky is the limit! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poite Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Sheffield Wednesday have to be the only club in English football who take so long to appoint a new manager that you've forgotten that you didn't have one when they finally do appoint one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football has been completely and utterly over complicated for no reason Couldn't agree more. I too have said it many times, football is a simple game. And when it's played simply it's exciting. People say under HW and Jack the football was poor. I didn't think so, we started winning! after years of dross. NT understands this, like the fans. Under HW, Marwood down the wing, into Chapman, goal, under JC, Curran down the wing into McCullough, goal. Now, Harris or Reach down the wing into Rhodes or Patterson, goal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Chow Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Yeh we have got to give it Thompson, imagine how bad it would look if dc selects a manger and we just plummet again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walkley Owl Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 If he keeps us up then he deserves it. He knows the club, DC, and how to get the best out of the players. Leave things as they are for now though, to keep em fighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

everydayiswednesday Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Got it totally wrong last night. Tactics (hoof ball), substitutions. Yet another manager who can't change a game. Finally the undroppable Adam Reach, why was he still on the pitch 2and half offered absolutely nothing all game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His subs were cautious and defensive. He left the midfield open with Joey on for Hutchinson, who moved back, and Dunkley, much praiseed lionheart, at the back was taken off (because he was a bit tired). His height at the back was essential to the end because we know Fletcher's only strength near goal is nodding in the easy ones, which he did because he wasn't hustled. Appalling, and after Coventry and Millwall this was one defeat too many for any decent manger/coach.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beauchief Owl Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Fletcher wouldn't have scored if Paterson hadn't headed it back into a dangerous area, from what I could see. What on earth was he playing at? A really poor goal to concede, but was always likely to happen when you let the opposition come on to you. We really are slow, slow learners in that respect. Substitutions were dire IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
