Steve Coppell has quit as DoF at Crawley, where is he off do you reckon?

Of all the suggestions I've read, that is probably the best. Fantasic record and fantastic guy. PS I'm not his agent. JR

Just been on some of the betting websites and for some reason Warnock is favorite to be manager. Really can't see this happening as this would alienate a huge proportion of the fans and I don't think MM is that stupid. Other favorites are Pearce, Cotterill and Appleton.

Steve Evans has shot up the betting list today.

Danny Wilson has expressed an interest in the job - he's done it before, is currently out of work so no expensive compensation package, and clearly loves working in Sheffield. Why look any further?

Danny Wilson was the beginning of the fall! He was terrible! No way do I want him! He ruined us getting relegated from PL

Because he's useless, please post sensible comments

Here we go again!
Worrying about our next one to fail?
Think back!
Only success in my time of watching the lads ( 60 yrs ) has been when we appointed 2 big names --
1. Big Jack got us up and going from the lower reaches
2. Big Ron did the business in style in the early 90's.
Formula?
Is there a "big " someone out there?
I don't know, but some of the names being bandied around fill me with dread!
Of course, I forgot Wilko! Who did a great job also, and has been terrific in recent times as stand-in chairman.
Formula?
Former player!
So take your pick from 2 Italians. I'm not convinced. So, where do we go from here? Bring back Meggy? Could do worse, but MM will not retract.
For now, I remain one of many long-suffering ex-Sheffield Owls not looking forward to my long drive on Tuesday night.

60 yrs. same as me then. You forgot to mention Catterick who could have bin our best ever if the chairman had backed him when he wanted to sign Joe baker. That p----d him off. He went to Everton and the rest is history. winning the league an beat us in the 1966 cup final

Steve Evans. he's a big un

Yep, sorry to have forgotten " Big Harry ".
That was some team back then, until 3 of them went down!
Remembers Spurs had gone almost half way through the season unbeaten - until we did them at Hillsboro 2-1. I think we had about 65,000 in attendance, but correct me if I'm wrong ( things always seem bigger when you're young ).
I suppose looking back, we have had at least 2 very good spells since the late 50's, and some silverware ( v Man U - which makes that very special ).
Compare that to SUFC! Absolutely nothing! So it could be worse!
If things are going in 30 year cycles, we are due another spell about 2020 -- reckon I can just about hang on till then - how about you?

I was bang on the halfway line standing at the front on the terracing on the north stand. Crowd was about right. mclaren was in goal an made a wonder save. Seems like a past life dunnit? Happy days

Trevor francis he did allright.

Remeber 7-0 against the league leaders west ham?

Ya harry caterick did a fantastic job and brought players through like fantham, kay, swan and spent very little money, but when he did want to bring in joe baker the board would not back him so he went to everton and look at the job he did there

I think Warnock would be a good shout until the end of the season possibly by then a takeover will have been sorted and a long term manager can be installed with some money to spend. just a thought

Not a bad suggestion but would the fans accept Warnock?
JR

Warnock? What planet are you on?
If ever he managed sheffield wednesday would be the day when me and several thousand other passionates would turn our backs on the team I've supported for the last 40 years!

Warnock is the ultimate sworn enemy. it cannot happen. we would feel betrayed. god help us.

So if Warnock comes in and gets us up the table and keeps us up you still would not want him astonishing, who then an ex legend with little or no experience or another out of work merry go round manager good God think with your heads not with your hearts, Neil warnock will get any team fighting it does not have to be a long term appointment just to keeps us up and as him being our sworn enemy grow up and get over the years of banter.

Here here

The man is a blade. it, s in his blood. they are brought up to despise us. it, s not just banter, it goes deeper than that. if he comes as manager watch the gates drop by at least 5000. MM will be aware of that fact

Utter rubbisH Wilson got the same garbage and nearly got them promoted, staying up is the only consideration end of.

Thing is I don't think he would fire us up the table. Speaking to some LUFC fans today and they said Warnock was terrible in his last season there. He had money to spend but spent it badly, his tactical decisions at times were apparently bad and they also said that their team looked devoid of passion in his last few months in charge. Add this to the mutual dislike between him and the club I just cannot see this working.
