November 25, 201312 yr He came in got some fucking good players on board willing to fight for the cause and led us off the bottom and to safety. I really still dont see what people hate so much. Did the job he was brought in for, got replaced by Coyle who fucked it all up and got us relegated. Are we changing history again?? We were going down under Megson before he was sacked. Coyle saved us. Then fucked us up. Same as Megson really But don't be mistaken, under that ginger twat we were dropping like a stone Add to that, that we were a completely fractured club with a poisonous atmosphere and broken spirit He's a cunt And I can't believe we're "doing this" again
November 25, 201312 yr Relegation seemed possible. Very likely is pushing it a little. The vast majority of our stay in the top flight was staring relegation in the face. We were going down. No doubt about it IMO
November 25, 201312 yr We were going down. No doubt about it IMO Possibly, but with a transfer window coming up, he might have done something. One thing Megson was decent at was signing players. Motivating them and playing the right tactics, perhaps not.
November 25, 201312 yr I don't think Megson was a good motivator, Elmander and Campo didn't like him and hated him shouting all time from touchlines.
November 25, 201312 yr I don't think Megson was a good motivator, Elmander and Campo didn't like him and hated him shouting all time from touchlines. Do you like it when your employer shouts? Actually scrap that, its a bad example. Sometimes the boss shouts, sometimes its at you because your actions are making his/her life fucking difficult. It's part of being a grown up.
November 25, 201312 yr Megson was very unlkeable, only 1% wanted him/was happy with his appointment. the players probably would just ignore him shouting/getting heated on the touchlines.
November 25, 201312 yr I don't think we were. We were 3rd bottom had just thrown away that game v Hull we'd won once in about 2 months the players looked brow beaten, miserable and unmotivated The atmosphere was certainly not conducive to winning matches, pulling together with our backs against the wall, as is needed in relegation scraps We had only downward momentum
November 25, 201312 yr But he signed Cahill. He could've signed Messi and Ronny but in my eyes he would've still been a cunt
November 25, 201312 yr i quite like cunts can't stand dicks megson left us higher than when he got us coyle took us 20 places down anyway, thank fcuk we now have a good un
November 25, 201312 yr We were much more likely to go down under Megson the previous season after we'd lost away to Villa March/April time.
November 25, 201312 yr Sadly, 2 managers later, those who stopped going beause of him, still can't find their way back.
November 25, 201312 yr Sadly, 2 managers later, those who stopped going beause of him, still can't find their way back. Think the excuse is now back to "euro 96 ruined everything."
November 25, 201312 yr Think the excuse is now back to "euro 96 ruined everything." They've sacked off the fat blokes with flags & fireworks
November 25, 201312 yr We were 3rd bottom had just thrown away that game v Hull we'd won once in about 2 months the players looked brow beaten, miserable and unmotivated The atmosphere was certainly not conducive to winning matches, pulling together with our backs against the wall, as is needed in relegation scraps We had only downward momentum alternatively, unbeaten in 4 with 6 points sacking him made all the difference as we won 1 of the next 8 is megson another one who didn't think you could play
November 25, 201312 yr alternatively, unbeaten in 4 with 6 points sacking him made all the difference as we won 1 of the next 8 is megson another one who didn't think you could play We'd had a run of winnable games and then had horrid fuxtures in January As much as he was found out later on, Coyle saved us that season no doubt at all
November 25, 201312 yr Of course there's fcuking doubt Megsons 18 games got 18 points Coyles 20 got 21 Anyway, what isn't in doubt is that ultimately Coyle failed In a big, big way The biggest drop in position under any manager in my time, but he wasn't a cunt
November 26, 201312 yr Of course there's fcuking doubt Megsons 18 games got 18 points Coyles 20 got 21 Anyway, what isn't in doubt is that ultimately Coyle failed In a big, big way The biggest drop in position under any manager in my time, but he wasn't a cunt Your hatred for Coyle clouds your judgement of Megson They were both duds This thing a out Megson leaving us in a higher position than when he started; well they were both relegation places. And you could've taken over after Lee and had us finish higher up that season; that in itself was inevitable - we were never bad enough to be where we were.

November 26, 201312 yr We finished 13th in Gary Megsons only full season in charge. Oh and we got to the last 16 of a European cup competition the season before. Whatever you think of him that's not a bad return.
