Tired of all the negative comments on here. Eveybody is entitled to their opionion which is fair enough but for gods sake just put that aside every saturday and support the lads AND dave jones. Yes he's made some awful signings but who hasnt...chelsea- shevchenko, mutu.man u-bebe, taibi.liverpool-carroll so lets give the guy a break. As for fans calling MM tight, he has put a lot of money into us and got us out of financial trouble and now stable. We have had some very bad times under richards/allen but we are now rebuilding. In DJ and MM (some) we may not trust but we SUPPORT. Milan mandaric is the best thing to happen to this club for years so come on lads....were all wednesday arent we?

Yes we are, and a good post. The negs are proper arses.
They can't deal with being wrong and trying to find any angle to promote their twisted views.
Pathetic.

Absolutely agree with secod post.

I am not interested in ANY other team than Wednesday

Dave Jones is ripping us all off, we all have to work and put a full shift in

He works 3 days a week!

If he was so commited he would move up here but he knows sooner or later he will be sacked and that's why he hasn't moved

No Passion No Personality Arrogant and not wanted

Daft post above from one of the negatives. Not sure what they want, DJ comes across as reasonable bloke to me. Would love to know if he was one of the Wedesdayite brotherhood who helped take us to brink.

^^ The guy is absolutely clueless. Although, I am sure it's a stealth Blunt.

The great Brian clough dint spend every day at club. He trusted his staff. Dj is no clough but if we continue to improve wot difference does it make if he only works 3 days a week. And you can bet he works from home also

A stealthy blunt, I get impression of Trigger in a dirty raincoat.

With some of commets made by Trigger thought they had fitted him with Blinkers.

Where would we be without gray, everyone thinks jones is doing it on his own, give gray some credit please.

Just like every footy manager really. Coaching staff counts for a lot.
Give it a rest.

Stuart Gray is the reason we have picked up, he is the brains behind organising us as a team

DJ still on trial as a Manager

Without a decent coach and left on his own he struggled, however lets see how new recruits and Helan do for us

Up the Owls

I agree Stuart Gray has made us into a team

Dave Jones was lost on his own

Who brought Gray to club, oh it was Dave Jones who knew him from previous job.
What were Grays perfomance like at other clubs when he did not work with DJ? Not very good is the answer.
Where did he do well? When he worked as coach with DJ.
Think this says it is more about partnership than individuals when you come to coaching.

I could'nt care less as long as we re winning and and at the moment we re winning and doing well of late so i'm happy. original poster has a point if we was still same off as before christmas but we re not on we ve made a few good signings, so shut up be happy and support your team

cant help wondering where we would have been in the league if we had replaced Terry Burton quickly with Gray as we had that dire run inbetween the 2 appointments - hope this now gives us a good foundation for next season - onwards and upwards WTID

But if Burton was so good and Gray is making us click what the hell does Dave Jones actually do?

We have certainly improved since Gray came onboard

So the planning and practice is done on the training ground by Gray

Does DJ just turn up for games then?

He comes up to Sheffield on thursday and goes back home after the match home and away.
Coaches take training in the week, DJ rarely visits training ground.
No info on what he does when we have a midweek match, never thought to ask till now.

The only thing dj does is blame everyone else when it go's wrong. UTO.

Runing a football team is more than a one man job. Like DJ but you can not see him on training pitch to demostrate his ideas. Think that is where problems where. Players are now playing their position instead of where they felt like it. Only one not doing so is Reda but when he turns up at centre forward and scores you can forgive that. Reda absence was also a factor look at results when he's played against when he is absent.

So what we are discussing here is then that Stuart Gray takes training, does formations and practices set pieces attacking and defending

Dave Jones is not here to discuss his ideas, I think if we can manage without him taking training and do without his ideas we could actually do without him completely

When he was on his own he was useless and we lost the plot completely in every department

So all you Dave Jones fans who think I am being negative, yes you can have your opinions, but on his own he gives us nothing

The Players he brought in and never played, look at Lee, never got a chance till Gray came, Lee has been fabulous

I am looking forward to the day Dave Jones buggers off because he is a con man, ask the Cardiff fans!

Management is all about delegation.

Blunts in disguise.
Well done to DJ for turning it around and making the neg posters look like proper tools.
They are grasping at straws now. It's called digging your own grave.
How embarrassing.

The only thing you do is blame DJ when it goes right.

Talking Rubbish it's all about team work
and all good manages let the coaches take most of the training.
Get behind SWFC instead of looking for the negatives

Ask the Wolves fans as well

Smoke and Mirrors

Being a manager is easy made play offs wi owls on football manager so don't anyone tell me its hard, lol

I bet Fergie tells his coaches what to do and he works 6 days a week and you see him at training

Dave Jones part time manager that's why we struggled he needs other people round him to do his job

Get rid ASAP

Nope, he knows his limitations and is surrounding himself with competent staff.
Managerial skills.

I posyted what the DJ knocker would find to grumble at and low ad behold the teacake has come up with a part time slant. Never heard such rubbish.

Yep, I agreed.
