View Full Version : Megson on the prowl...... Desert Wolf 13-07-2006, 12:02 Seems that Megson is interested in the Wolves job...........:rolleyes: :eek: http://www.expressandstar.com/articles/sport/wolves/article_91702.php O.W.E.I 13-07-2006, 12:04 I almost puked when I saw that headline. NO no no no no no no no no!!!! Visage Wolf 13-07-2006, 12:08 We should NEVER emply a manager who refers to himself in the 3rd person. Shifnal Wolf 13-07-2006, 12:08 please god no. there's a reason he failed at Forest and Frank Barlow took over with the same squad and got them playing and winning. Very bad appointment IMV PREM.L.L 13-07-2006, 12:11 Just...just...just...NO! paddingtonwolf 13-07-2006, 12:13 $$$$ no no NOOOOOOOOOO I would rather forcibly sever my own nutsack with a rusty knife Bradders 13-07-2006, 12:13 Get rid of one useless **** and bring a ginger useless **** in to replace him. Inspired. welshwolf 13-07-2006, 12:14 "wolves fans divided on the issue"? I don't think we have ever been more united, thanks but no thanks Nashie 13-07-2006, 12:20 Well he'd certainly be motivated to get us promoted at the expense of Albion. He has a track record of 2 automatic promotions. Ignoring the former Albion allegance, it really is his record at Forest that sours it. kaptildo 13-07-2006, 12:21 Mercury reported this as well, 1-0 all the way with us lucky to get nil and we thoughtGpddle was bad wolf of sedgley 13-07-2006, 12:21 I still havn't forgotten how he always used to mug us off when he was albion manager. ginger $$$$$. Visage Wolf 13-07-2006, 12:26 Ignoring the former Albion allegance, it really is his record at Forest that sours it. Plus his unimpressive record at Stoke and Stockport. With Megson its more a case of one success in a sea of mediocrity than the other way around. Nashie 13-07-2006, 12:27 So even though he has a track record of getting a team with little money promoted, you insist on saying no? Nashie 13-07-2006, 12:28 Plus his unimpressive record at Stoke and Stockport. With Megson its more a case of one success in a sea of mediocrity than the other way around. But it was 2 successive championship automatic promotions Visage Wolf 13-07-2006, 12:30 So even though he has a track record of getting a team with little money promoted, you insist on saying no? I wouldnt say he has any sort of track record. He managed it with Albion, once. Doing something once does not constitute a track record. Rothley Wolf 13-07-2006, 12:30 No. No and No again. A new generation of managers are available and he certainly is not one of them. Forget his track record, that was in a pooer league. Terrible at Forest. Move on.... Visage Wolf 13-07-2006, 12:32 But it was 2 successive championship automatic promotions The first year he did well, granted. The second year he was aided by having a squad that was excellent compared with the rest of the division. Against that you have to consider poor spells at Blackpool, Stockport, Stoke and Forest. Saying we should employ Megson beacuse of one season's success 5 years ago is like appointing Venables because we beat the Dutch once.... Visage Wolf 13-07-2006, 12:33 BTW - i wasnt being serious about appointing Venables..... Nashie 13-07-2006, 12:49 The first year he did well, granted. The second year he was aided by having a squad that was excellent compared with the rest of the division. A squad that he assembled. You can't discount his second promotion because his 'squad was excellent compared to the rest...' - to say that means he didn't do any work at all and left them to it. Having a good set of players isn't enough and we know that because our squad should have performed much much much better than it did last season. Personally I don't want him because I don't like the negative poor football his sides play, but if people are prepared to give McCarthy a chance based on the fact that he got Sunderland promoted once (ignoring the fact he just set a record for the lowest points haul in the premiership ever - even though Wigan and West ham have stayed up comfortably without either one spending mega-money), then why so against a guy who got a poor Albion side who were relegation threatened when he arrived, promoted automatically twice at the expense of a side who had 'spunked 12 million up the wall'. I think he'd certainly be motivated to do the job and compete against Robson's Albion side. Oldgold Wolfcub 13-07-2006, 13:01 "But I have no allegiance to West Brom in particular. I worked for the club". So if he said that then we can surely substitute West Brom for Wolves. Its just a job. No thanks. Mr Wolf 13-07-2006, 13:04 He's got a better record than McCarthy at this level and higher. SOA Wolf 13-07-2006, 13:05 Nashie, the double standard brigade rear their ugly heads up again. Megson, McCarthy...what's the difference? Oldgold Wolfcub 13-07-2006, 13:13 Nashie, the double standard brigade rear their ugly heads up again. Megson, McCarthy...what's the difference? The style of play, the style of management, hair colour:eek:....... Visage Wolf 13-07-2006, 13:16 Nashie, the double standard brigade rear their ugly heads up again. Megson, McCarthy...what's the difference? IMO the Megson squad was much stronger, with players like Hoult, Moore and Clement. McCarthy won prmotion with Carl Robinson in midfield. There's not many stronger endorsements than that. Bill McCai 13-07-2006, 13:32 Nashie, the double standard brigade rear their ugly heads up again. Megson, McCarthy...what's the difference? Not that much for me, but the scrubber element of our support would be on Megsons back as soon as they could, whereas McCarthy has no past history with Wolves. Ignoring the Chav Bank Massive and their 'Stick your Gary Megson………..' wont happen. johnybig32 13-07-2006, 13:47 The board are a long way away from understanding the frustrations and needs of the fans at the moment, and this apppointment would further reinforce their neglect for the people who make the club what they are... Big Saft Kid 13-07-2006, 13:47 Why is this bile reserved for Megson? He's got as a good a record in this division as any of the other probable contenders - better than most? even the best? And who cares if he worked for Albion? Steve Bull was an Albion player, so was Andy Thompson, so was, going back a bit further, Ally Robertson. Ronnie Allen, Albion and England centre-forwrad, managed Wolves pretty successfully in the 60s. What the big deal about the Albion connection? johnybig32 13-07-2006, 13:49 All due respect, its not so much to do with Albion, but to do with him being ginger and $$$$... And if you are a "true" wolves fan, you dont need to ask the question... Winelord 13-07-2006, 13:49 Megson, McCarthy...what's the difference? Aside from WBA, Megson's managerial performance at other clubs has been poor. He seems to me to be too ready to become argumentative with the board or his players. McCarthy seems like a better man-manager and better prepared to work on a tight budget. Gold Umbro 13-07-2006, 13:51 McCarthy won prmotion with Carl Robinson in midfield. There's not many stronger endorsements than that. If ever there were a statement to end an argument, then this is surely it. Tarcisio Mifsud 13-07-2006, 13:52 Would not mind Wolves getting promoted whoever is the Manager. The problem is that only one achieved that and it was just for one season. Big Saft Kid 13-07-2006, 13:53 And if you are a "true" wolves fan, you dont need to ask the question... Whoops sorry, what have I been doing since 1955 then - only about 750 games attended, so I can't be a true fan, eh? :rolleyes: johnybig32 13-07-2006, 13:55 That averages out to about 15 games a year....wolves play close to 50...therefore, NO! ;) Big Saft Kid 13-07-2006, 13:59 That averages out to about 15 games a year....wolves play close to 50...therefore, NO! ;) Once did a 5,000 mile round trip for one game - doesn't that qualify me? johnybig32 13-07-2006, 13:59 Stop trying and face facts son...;) Big Saft Kid 13-07-2006, 14:00 Stop trying and face facts son...;) If you're old enough to be my father you must be in your 80s. Bill McCai 13-07-2006, 14:01 Get off the thread fatboy, you're boring. Big Saft Kid 13-07-2006, 14:03 Get off the thread fatboy, you're boring. Spoken like the true t*at you are. I'll post where I like. Bill McCai 13-07-2006, 14:04 Spoken like the true t*at you are. I'll post where I like. That wasn’t aimed at you - but if you are a heffer as well so be it! Got anymore tunes for us? johnybig32 13-07-2006, 14:04 i think he was talking to me?? basher 13-07-2006, 14:06 Once did a 5,000 mile round trip for one game - doesn't that qualify me? Yes, it qualifies you for the Essex award for total titdom!!!!!! Visage Wolf 13-07-2006, 14:16 Once did a 5,000 mile round trip for one game - doesn't that qualify me? A padded cell and a nice jacket that ties at the back? Nashie 13-07-2006, 14:30 "But I have no allegiance to West Brom in particular. I worked for the club". So if he said that then we can surely substitute West Brom for Wolves. Its just a job. No thanks. Unless you appoint Steve Bull, that attitude will be adopted by anyone you appoint. Nashie 13-07-2006, 14:37 If ever there were a statement to end an argument, then this is surely it. Its a good point but it still doesnt alter the fact that when Sunderland went up they ended the season with the lowest points record in premiership history. Sunderland were awful. Albion had more fight in them than Sunderland did, they went down and came back with a stronger squad of players and bounced straight back. There are not many clubs who can bounce straight back up with the same manager no matter how strong the squad of players is. Thread Killer 13-07-2006, 14:45 We should NEVER emply a manager who refers to himself in the 3rd person. So you wouldn't employ Julius Caesar if he wanted the job, eh? Thread Killer 13-07-2006, 14:46 Get rid of one useless **** and bring a ginger useless **** in to replace him. Inspired. Useless? Two automatic promotions in 3 seasons? basher 13-07-2006, 14:54 So you wouldn't employ Julius Caesar if he wanted the job, eh? No, he's dead. fenella 13-07-2006, 15:05 Once did a 5,000 mile round trip for one game - doesn't that qualify me? If you'd have travelled 2,500 miles, parked your car, listened to the team list on the radio and then immediately got back in your car and driven 2,500 miles home without watching the game, then that would be different. Big Saft Kid 13-07-2006, 15:08 If you'd have travelled 2,500 miles, parked your car, listened to the team list on the radio and then immediately got back in your car and driven 2,500 miles home without watching the game, then that would be different. :D :D :D :D Malicious Steve 13-07-2006, 15:08 No, he's dead. when.........:eek: Phys Ed Wolf 13-07-2006, 16:15 Useless? Two automatic promotions in 3 seasons? Maybe Im just being greedy TK, but I want success AND attractive football, and I know you might not believe this, but I'd sooner see attractive football than effective football, even at the cost of promotion. I don't want Megson because of the poor football his teams played. Not bothered about the Albion connection, would have had Robson before he went to Boro if I'd have had my way. Also, not bothered about him being ginger, some of best friends are ginger!! (bless 'em!). BitterBob 13-07-2006, 18:58 He falls out with players everwhere he goes, he's supposed to manage them not send them to train with the kids. And he's boring to listen too. Imagine turning up for work every day if he was your boss. Oldgold Wolfcub 13-07-2006, 20:14 Useless? Two automatic promotions in 3 seasons? First one he would never have achieved without the help of Dave Jones.:p wolf of sedgley 13-07-2006, 20:18 You just know that if we appointed him, he would be $$$$, and leave us in a worse position than before he came. His success with albion was a one off. gordonchas 13-07-2006, 20:21 On the basis of their immediate previous managerial record: Paul Jewell would not have been appointed by Wigan. Steve Coppel would not have been appointed by Reading. Neil Warnock would not have been appointed by Sheffield United. Sometimes true inspiration comes from knowing when to appoint the right man. Of course it's probably mostly luck. Not saying Megson's the man, of course. I prefer football. EasternWolf 13-07-2006, 21:43 $$$$ no no NOOOOOOOOOO I would rather forcibly sever my own nutsack with a rusty knife Cant bother to read the rest of the thread, but it would be worth signing him just to see that .... here use my knife.. Oldgold Wolfcub 13-07-2006, 21:49 Cant bother to read the rest of the thread, but it would be worth signing him just to see that .... here use my knife.. Is it the one with the dull, rusty blade.:p:eek: Cosmo Kramer 13-07-2006, 21:53 BTW - i wasnt being serious about appointing Venables..... why not ? Cosmo Kramer 13-07-2006, 21:55 Sometimes true inspiration comes from knowing . i dont think Jizz Mixley is capable of anything inspirational Ginger Chimp 13-07-2006, 22:00 I hope he does not join us ... I'll have to change my user name. :D:D:D |
