November 1, 200817 yr So how do you rate Gartside as a chairman? Took all the praise when things were going well, distanced himself from the Sammy Lee era, then told us people who knew football would understand the Megson appointment. Out of 10 to make it easier.
November 2, 200817 yr Agreed, because of the points already mentioned namely, not backing BSA when 3rd in the league & hi two appointment post BSA he backed him two months previous with 8 million, which was more than we had
November 3, 200817 yr not good judgement imo just taking the cheap option [as allways] which turned into temporary success by nothing short of a fluke' What a load of bollocks. So when he gets something right its a fluke but when its wrong hes rubbish? He cant win. 8/10 for me by the way, apart from two dodgy manager appointments he couldnt of done much more.

Caught Jeremy Kyle interviewing Gartside on Talksport just before i turned out yesterday. The man (Gartside) seemed genuinely as upset as most about our league position. He is adament that Megson is the right man for the job and will be given time. He also admitted that we wanted two more players (that we didn't get) during the transfer window (mentioned Harper); and that squad is not big enough "yet". He was explaining the shit Megson/Lee inherited when BSA left and that Lee wsa dealt a crappy hand as half the back room staff left. Megson did what he was brought in for last season (keep us up) and in his opion he will get it right long term. Cant say i'm sold on Megson, but Gartside came across ok. Perhaps the two players that we may get in January could be the final piece of the Megson jigsaw and we should judge him then?? JSL

JSL He needs get a few results between now and christmas to keep the pressure at bay and then he will have chance to bring in those players but if he doesnt he will be gone by then because when all the fans turn against him his position will become untenable.

Quite agree with you. Starting at Hull next week. If we play the same as Sunday we have nothing to fear.
