kent_white Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 Did anyone hear his comments during his interview at half time in the Fan Zone? I didn't, but I've just been told by my mate that he was asked how he thought we would get on this season, to which he replied with something along the lines of 'not much while Megson's in charge. I played under him at West Brom and it wasn't an enjoyable experience and I can understand what the fans and the players are going through' After a brief stunned silence there followed a period of applause...... Can anyone shed any light on this as I've got this information second hand. Ta.

He said we 'deserve better'. He got loads of applause for this and Tony Kelly looked very uncomfortable stood next to him. We all appreciated his honesty.

I thought the look on Tony Kelly's face was quite funny....looked like he had really bad constipation...
Spider Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 Sneeks did say that BWFC fans deserve btter than Megson I was gobsmacked as he was a guest of the club He obviously has a personal problem with Megson Clearly, he's not on his own
JimmyRiddle Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 I know it shouldn't, but reading this post has cheered me up a little!!
Rufus T Firefly Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 I have a Baggie mate, similar age 40ish, same outlook been there and seen it. When m****n was appointed he told me in no uncertain terms what this idiot would do to my beloved club. How right he was. P.S. Why all the snoopers on my profile
superjohnmcginlay Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 Are you going to answer whom you want in charge?
Bobcat Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 Are you going to answer whom you want in charge? well two years ago i would of gone for Steve Bruce.... but obviously the chairman thought that a fella who had a CV that stunk of failure was more appropiate.... but hey....those that know football and all that....
Freddie_Hill Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 Put TonyCee and his ilk in charge, the club can hand out free razorblades at the turnstiles. We lost 1-0 ffs, I for one am not going to judge the entire season on the opening game.

fester58 Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 Are you going to answer whom you want in charge? to be honest, even souness looks an atractive option these days.
DR WHITES Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 Roy McFarland With Colin Todd that would work I think.

We lost 1-0 ffs, I for one am not going to judge the entire season on the opening game. No wins in last 12 league games , maybe add that to your judgement.
THunter Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 No wins in last 12 league games , maybe add that to your judgement.No wins in last eight league games. Still shit, but it helps to get the facts right. It's one win in twelve.
Freddie_Hill Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 No wins in last 12 league games , maybe add that to your judgement. Five new signings, four of which were in the starting line-up playing in the side for the first time so no i'm not going to pass judgement on one game. Last season's games are history and it's where we go from here that matters. JLS should have been in the side instead of Robinson imho. At least with Robinson if he turns out to be shyte, he can be sent back to WBA whereas we are stuck with Ricketts. We won't go down this season but the hard reality is we have a large debt for a club of our size and not a lot of funding to spend in a very inflated transfer market. We need another striker and a creative midfielder and while I'm not happy that Megson was appointed manager the fact is he is the manager of the club I have supported for forty nine years and so until Gartside and the board replace him or things look real grim he has my backing. Whinging and whining like a manic depressive is not going to change things and the players are not going to respond to it in a positive way are they? FFS get behind the team instead of on their backs.

So your'e still backing Megson to come good you deluded fool,its all well and good to back all things B.W.F.C ,but come on this is all we can expect from this clown,and I make no apologies for calling him a clown"message to ,mods" We can do so much better without this idiot.
JimmyRiddle Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 (edited) So much negativity from the stands is creating a club I dont't rtecognise. From where I was, there was no negativity just complete apathy to the shit on show, people had given up and were incredulous to how bad in every aspect we really were. If it continues like this; negativity may be the only positive, as at least it shows some people still care enough to get wound up. Edited August 16, 2009 by JimmyRiddle
athywhite1958 Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 Ian Dowie was in the hotel bar after the game, he is one ugly f?cker. JSL
onlyoneawalker Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 Sums everything up for me that. Thanks Freddie So much negativity from the stands is creating a club I dont't rtecognise. Spot on - that's what's most depressing I don't think Megson deserves the sack so far he's done what he's been asked but I can't see him having the ability to have sufficient success to ever "turn it round" with the bulk of the crowd and the bulk of the crowd aren't prepared to put up with his brand of football and lack of seeming attachment to the club so we're stuck with this merry go round - changing manager too much doesnt help any club but neither does serious disquiet on the terraces week in week out - Gartside must know the feelings of the majority of fans but he's stuck between a rock and a hard place - he's got a man in that's done what he's beeen asked and has shown he can keep a team up or does he react to the fans and try and get him out and potentially increase the risk of financial meltdown by going down. This isn't Bolton disease it's the premier league's!
Traf Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 Richard Sneekes may well have been expressing his honest opinion of GM, but there's a time and a place for that stuff. It stinks of a cheap shot and very unprofessional IMO.
onlyoneawalker Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 FWIW The galloping chip was putting the knife in on GMR post match and did for a lot of the end of last season. I think it's safe to say Megson doesn't appear to be popular in game at all.
onlyoneawalker Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 Apologies - rephrase - "I think it's safe to say Megson doesn't appear to be popular with those who are and have, been in the game." Please don't confuse this with megson bashing it's just an observation.
