blackleywhite Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Had high hopes but fuck me he tested my patience and yes he had a difficult job but imagine someone like colin wanker coming in in the same situation? Alienating fans is a proper no no. Shame but board have acted decisively and hopefully they've been whispering in a few ears... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll be honest, I didn’t want Megson from the off. I watched the Villa game in the pub (1st home game for him). It was never going to take much for me to want him out. In fairness, borne more out the fact I hated him as a player. I was happy with Coyle onwards at the time. I also didn’t want Rioch at the time, can’t remember who I did want but probably someone like Terry Cooper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roybarker Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Worst day of being a wanderers fan was at Accrington ,ok the sending off was a joke but 7-1 was a disgrace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyrotten Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 I was convinced Lennon was the next Rioch/Allardyce, but more likeable and approachable. Couldnt think of a negative thing about him. Then I realised he didnt know how to set a team up. Ditto Coyle. Ditto Hill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I've tried to give them all a fair crack of the whip. Like most, I was incredulous when we hired Megson but he proved, for a spell at least, that he was up to it. Freedman is the one who annoyed me most. I totally bought into what he was saying that first season only to realise the bloke was a complete charlatan by season 2.

It was largely the side he inherited off Coyle and was still in the top half when he took over, I think. New manager bounce, a few fortuitous wins and then he decided to tinker for that last game v Blackpool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was one of these up and comings who I quite fancied as manager at one time so must have been this time. Went to the Exec Club Q&A with Rioch not long after he signed up though and he left the room buzzing with excitment with his plans. He delivered by the bucketload Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were flying under Coyle. He said - You fuckin hated Megson but he left you with a good team, he’s just a shit manager. This prick gives confidence but nowt else - let’s see where you are in 2 years with his own signings. I’ll never admit to his face he was right - but he was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felt similar at Brum when we’d lost 6 on the spin. Broke it with a draw against WBA. I know we won in the last minute, was this the game Diouf was immense or a different one?
