Well you aint been promoted and we aint been relegated yet. Plenty could still happen, particularly in your league.
As for Megson, he seems to be doing a good job at Wednesday, but that's because he's found his level. Most of his previous clubs fans don't remember him fondly and neither will you when it goes wrong one day. He will criticise the fans when they get on his back and tell the world that those in football who know what they're talking about, know how good he is.
He's such a snivelling petty-minded man, that when sacked by Bolton, rather than do a deal that would free him up to work again (like virtually every manager ever sacked from any other has done), Megson chose not to deal and sit at home taking his full weekly pay from Bolton. That was his right, but he then did a number of interviews complaining about this.
The fans hated him with a passion, and he stoked the fires on more than one occasion. It was never his fault that we lost and he was always very quick to remind us how good he really was.
I've no beef with your club, just Megson. But since most managers get sacked eventually, it will be interesting to see what happens at Wednesday.
By the way, I say all this as one on this forum who still supported him long after most wanted his head!
Good luck with the rest of your season.

No were not promoted yet (hopefully), all I will say is that Coyle will get you relegated hes brought in championship players and that spells relegation - it happened to us in 2000.(you need to change manager now before its to late)
All the best for the rest of your season....WTID Megsons Blue and White army lol

Appointing Megson was a shock given where he was and his reputation at the time. Imagine Blackburn sacking Keane and replacing him with someone like Danny Wilson.
Despite what the media would have you believe Megson did get a fair crack of the whip here and was close to winning the fans over - I even started a thread on here apologizing to him for what he had achieved. Sporting Lisbon & Wigan ruined all that work and was compounded by his reaction to any criticism thereafter.
Megson had been a success at WBA so it was always possible he could do well somewhere else despite his many failures. Any road, whats a club the size of Wednesday doing in the 3rd division anyway?

| Its was called having a w*nker of a chairman called Sir Dave Richards (now chairman of the Premier League) at the time he tried to live the dream a bit like LEEDS he f*cked us up - but now hopefully now under new ownership of Milan Manderic the good times will come back us fans believe last two away games we took 4000 at walsall 5000 at PNE and the last two home games 28.500 and 24,000. Still early will have to wait and see,ope you stay up ....WTID

Unfortunately success isn't judged on how many fans you take away from home.
a lot of clubs seem to think it is though.
On to Megson, Absolute w*nker, basically blamed the fans for every defeat.
"outside influences"

Yes Wednesday are doing well - and so they should really in that league - they should not have fallen so far.
And Megson clearly has a better fan rapport there due to previous connections - however, his attitude to the fans did him no favours at Bolton and his football was generally acknowledged as dire - despite the funds he was given in contrast to the present sitaution.
Two things would perturb me as a Wednesday fan though - looking to a future in a higher league with tougher challendges if Megson stays in charge:
1. A propensity to get 2 goals ahead and then sit back - Happened against Huddersfield the other week and almost cost against Tranmere (and against Walsall, albeit only a one goal lead) - feel free to contradict as I wasn't at the games and the facts on the balance of play may be different, but this was a definite trend whilst at Bolton - and indeed a combination of 2-2 draws from 2-0 up at Blackburn and at home against Hull did eventually cost him his job; getting a lead was used as insurance against failing to get a draw rather than as a platform for victory
2. Agents - I believe SWFC spent the most on agents' fees last year in their division - there was something fishy about dual represenation by the same agent when Megson was unexpectedly appointed at Bolton - something just feels a bit wrong here and I can't quite put my finger on it
And finally, as has already been mentioned, a refusal to settle on leaving and earning out his contract whilst moaning about it does rankle somewhat.
I'm sure he'll receive a "warm" reception at the Reebok if the fixture does happen next year (as seems likely) - after all , people who know about football......
I'd still rather have Coyle with all his shortcomings (and they are many)

You can sum up Megson spending over £8m on a decent striker, only giving him a 3 year contract, then he constantly barracks him, he loses his confidence. New manager, new confidence, oh I will leave on a free costing the club £6m in wages.
Thanks for literally nothing!!

And lets be honest when it wasn't going well for Wednesday at the start the fans were all over him, i saw the forums.
it's going well now, hope it continues.
but don't pretend the fans wont be all over him if you go on a bad run.

Used to watch the Owls occasionally whilst at Uni in Sheff in the late 80's so I have a soft spot for them.
I've been thinking for a while that Meson will be rubbing his hands at the thought of us going down and playing us next season in the Championship.
However, whilst things are pretty bad here at present the fact is that I'd rather have OC as manager than Megson and I think most (not all but most) Whites fans would too. Compare the limited complaints about OC to the howls of outrage that Megson used to attract from all sides.
The truth of course is that a club of their size and standing should never be in Division 1 to start with, so I wouldn't get too carried away with how well Megson's doing just yet. After all, at that level they can just sign up most of their opponents star players eg Madine from Carlisle, O'Grady from Rochdale - they won't be able to do that so easily next year.

My problem with Gary Megson (besides his negative attitude towards the fans) were his tactics.
When it looked like he was coming to us I remember Forest and Leicester fans saying that his tactics were basically to defend the six yard box. They weren't joking. Sometimes we defended so deep we were virtually off the field! In defending so deep we allowed the opposition all the space and time they needed. It looked like a basketball defence at times.
What I would like to know is, do Wednesday defend like this?

Gary Megson - Could be a top Manager, yep I wanted him gone fairly early on and when he did go it was way passed time. But he can spot a player, he can coach and he can set a team up to get a result. However what holds him back is his insistance on playing it safe, on not driving forward when his team has a team on the ropes. It happened with Forest, Leicester and Bolton and when it gets tough for the Owls he will revert to this approach.
How many times did we take the lead by one or two goals then defend so deep the full backs where practically in the stand with us.
Megson's failure to communicate with the fans and also the community on the whole took the team our club a step further away from us, and when results came it was the fans and the townsfolk who suffered.. I have said it before and here again Gary Megson depressed an entire Town, and that is why we have no time for him.
OC's first acts where to bring the club back to the Townsfolk and for that we are grateful.
I wish Wednesday well, and if Megson concurs his demons I will be happy for him, but I never want him near the Bolton or England jobs.

He seems to abandoned attacking the opposition and they have started to lose 3 out of the last 4 I think. It appears he has become concerned about conceding and not allowing players into the opponents half..
Ring any bells, see my previous post looks like he has lost faith in his players...
Ding fecking Dong..

Three defeats out of three. Seems ridiculous he'd get the sack considering he's got them to within touching distance of promotion compared to where they were when he took over, BUT this is Milan Mandaric and it is a MASSIVE club, so he'll be sacked before you know it!
Poor bloke.

I sent a message accepting the blame on behalf of Bolton Wanderers fans, I hope that I have not offended fellow Bolton fans but thought if I owned up early he would not need to have a BBC radio program requesting the apology.

Got the bullet last night. just in time to launch the England campaign..
LMFAO when they announced it on R5, later on 606 a wednesday fan phoned and and for once I wish I was taping the show or could be arsed DL the podcast. His comments were similar to:
I am glad that he has gone even after beating our rivals, so many times this season he has drawn or lost games from a winning position, it seemed as soon as we got a goal ahead he would take away some of our striking intent and bring on a defensive midfielder. He nearly got us relegated last season and we can not allow UTD to go up and not us..
Ring any bells, I knew he would lose trust in attacking and become negative and it would cost him and them. I am not one for thinking that the size of a club should indicate the Division they are in, size means jack it is how you do the business on and off the pitch.
I wish Wednesday well and have always enjoyed visiting the stadium and chatting with their fans now I would like them to progress.

I thought I would peruse the local Sheffield paper to get a feel of the fans responce reguarding Megson's. The following are three typical comments. :-
24WTID
Thursday, March 1, 2012 at 04:00 PM Thanks Gary for turning our club around and getting our pride back. A massive thanks for beating the pigs. I wish you good luck in what ever you do. Hope we both go on to bigger and better things.
~
Gary you are a Wednesdsy legend UTO FTB WTID
It defies belief that a club in the top 3 sack the manager?shamefull and im a blade. your club will not go up now.
Report Unsuitable
PM Milan out, Megson in. The last guy to do this, was Alan sacking Sturrock and appointing Laws, then replacing Laws with Irvine. As far as I am concerned Milan has scored the biggest own goal of his life.
~
These are pretty much the views of the vast majority of Wendesday fans.
