Now I'm as shocked at anyone else at the sacking of meggo but until the derby win was kind of expecting it and without a derby game to motivate the players, I was seriously worried about our futureand where the next goals were coming from. I think its only the derby win that has made this all that shocking.
So is anyone else fairly pleased with Dave Jones? I've always rated him pretty highly and think he has done well at all the clubs he has been at.
Uninspired by Meggo initially, he won me and many over, did a pretty good job but seemed to be loosing it. For me Dave Jones is a better manager than Megson and I'm looking froward to the rest of the season, just hoping and praying that Jones gets off to a flying start.
Thanks Megson
Welcome DJ

When Mark Hughes was sacked at Man City - I thought it was a terrible injustice. I hardly give it a thought now.

Megson arrived at the club the day after Irvine's dismissal. It happens.

I know what you're saying Wensdi but you must agree that everything about football these days seems uneffical..as David Beckham would say.

Was Jones' arrival unethical? Certainly. But let's not pretend Megson wouldn't have done the same had it been the other way round.
Up the owls!!!!

I agree with most of this...Jones hasn't got a bad record, he got Wolves up after years in the wilderness, Took Cardiff as far as they can go (Malchie hasn't done any better with them) and got Stockport up..fairly solid as Southampton.
He has done good stints wherver he has been. I also think the quality of the footy will impove under Jones, his sides tend to knock it about a bit.
I think there has been a bit of the Rose tinted specs syndrome about Meggo. He did well up to Xmas but we haven't been great since then and IMO he was only getting about 80% out of this squad as we ran out of steam a little
I think Jones will improve on this, plus the players will be playing for thier places - they were a bit too comfy towards the end of Meggo's tenure.
We shall soon see. Really need a win tomorrow which I think we will get as the Players will want to do it for Megson.

Mr Fantham - everything about footie these days is unethical. It's the same top 6 almost every year - and its so hard for the other clubs to get a sniff - because its designed that way. They all have the money - and its an exclusive club - outsiders not welcome.
I hated to see Mick McCarthy dismissed at Wolves. He's done the best he can do on a tight budget. His players are fighters. Gary Megson was pretty uninspiring for me - but he's a big boy and he'll survive.
