onlyoneawalker Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 He wont get sacked this week - defeat at Wolves and Fulham and he has got to be in deep trouble. Replacements, well there are plenty at least as good as him managerially but who will shed the baggage he has from day one: Alaln Irvine, Alan Curbishley, Steve Coppell (don't quote relegation Megson has sent teams down), Gary Johnson, Dave Jones (see comment on coppell), Steve McLaren (ok lets forget umbrellagate you dont manage your country if you are total shite still one of best coaches around) they all know how to manage a football club and we'd get a clean slate my personal favourite would be Alan Irvine because he's scottish and they tend to be good at management, but in all seriousness he's done his time under moyes knows what to do to build a team has done very well at preston with no money and I firmly believe he'd take the job - couple of curve balls if we fancy a risk: Dan Petrescu, Hierro (unlikely), and if i were them I'd bring in an old favourite in the coaching staff even if he's only carrying the sponge bucket it will get the fans on side from day one - Super John, Gudni, Alan Thompson to name but a few
frosty1982 Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 I do hope you're taking the piss. I am, sorry, it was late, i was trying to be sarcastic. I think Curbs would be a good coup if we can get him, dont think he'd be scared of a fight either, suppose he'd have nowt to lose were going down at this rate!
captainmed Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 The point everyone is missing is that with nobody in charge short term would be better than him. The players would get an instant lift and we would have a "better feeling and atmosphere" around the place. That is vitally important in any business. I've only been once this season (i like many others are staying away) and the in fighting, arguments and general apathy amongst supporters was so noticeable. It wasnt a nice place to be and i dont intend going again until changes are made.

Guest Blixa Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Gus Hiddink is available more or less right now - as we're in the land of wild speculation, why not throw him into the mix?
onlyoneawalker Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 I've missed that point & I presume others as it's a ridiculous idea! I think he means short term caretaker Steve Wigley could do that no worries and you often get a "bounce" with a caretaker in charge (see Phil Brown with us) and when the new man comes in.

And the short term becomes how long if there isn't an appropriate manager to come in? It would be a knee-jerk reaction which in no way would be a boost for the staff at the club, it would make it a rudderless ship and as I say, with no time line for someone coming in, it's a ridiculous idea. I dread to think how a business could run in that way & think it could survive. The board need to get someone in the frame before sacking the current manager, that's the way business should be run, not sacking with no forward plan.
Ani Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Simon Grayson from Leeds would be great in many ways for me and Chief Wiggum.

I think Curbs would be a good coup if we can get him, dont think he'd be scared of a fight either, suppose he'd have nowt to lose were going down at this rate! I wouldnt mind him but as Casino cryptically pointed out, he left West Ham as the club sold players behind his back. His contract said the club couldn't. He resigned and eventually won a pay-out. When we're feckin skint, we couldnt possibly rule out selling a player for the benefit of the club, rather than the manager's wishes. So would he even consider us?

frank_spencer Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 If we could prize him away from winning stuff in Holland the Steve MCLaren would be a belter IMO however i suspect he'd want to come back to a higher profile club than ours
Boothy Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Should do a WW opinion poll, see where people now stand on Megson, no drivel, just a vote. Things are getting a bit tedious now, surely these next 6 or so games are crunch time for him now? COYWM

Fair play to him. Wish more managers would go abroad, rather than tediously whinge about foreign managers coming to England.
beer_swiller Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Gartside aint panicking. "No-one presses panic buttons around here. I have been in the game long enough not to do that." Well Mr Gartside you soon got pi$$ed off with Sammy Lee.
Smiffs Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Poll now open http://www.wanderersways.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=57987 How many goes does Casino get with him being a Mod?

Well Mr Gartside you soon got pi$$ed off with Sammy Lee. Yes i saw that but as i've said next two games if results are poor and phil has a quiet word with Jussi and Kev to see how the lads feel and all of a sudden the panic will be replaced with pragmatism and he's gone. It's funny Megson has been to this point a fair few times now but never beyond it in terms of pressure on his job I'm not for one minute suggesting I'd like the team to go down at Fulham and Wolves either but he has got to get some fire in the bellies for those games if we play like we did yesterday fulham will rip us apart.
