Fans always blame the manager, but this time I do think were right to do so. Jones makes truly bizarre decisions and then tells everyone how good we are and it's just bad luck.

MM needs to take a look in the mirror too. Yes he saved us and yes we are truely grateful but does this mean we have to never mention Milans mistakes or expect better guidance from him. Just because he picked us up while we were in bits does not excuse his running of the club when we can all see that the current manager needs binning and the sooner the better. Just because Milan installed DJ in the hot seat does that mean we have to sit back and watch him manage this club so ineptly that we are one almost certain to go down this season after the hard work that was done last season? My suggestion to Milan is bin Dave Jones right now (today) this minute and get us a manager that knows his arse from his elbow, a good player from a bad one, a good transfer target from a damp squid. A manager with a blood and thunder attitude that demands all 11 players give everything and nothing less. A manager that doesn't stick with a player in the hope that one day he may control the ball properly let alone score (sound familiar?). A manager that brings the players together for the fight, a togetherness that's been none existent all season. A manager that picks players that care as much as the fans do. Over to you MM.....

"Wise Old Owl" well said mate it is what I and a few other old lads have been telling everyone

Pride and Passion thats what our players need, and someone to lead them into battle because I tell you this we are in a huge battle to stay in this league.

Milan must privately cursing himself for allowing DJ let the playing side go downhill so poorly and quickly

If the players put a shift in they get dropped and if they do sod all he sticks with them, so what does Milan expect

Jack Charlton told the directors exactly how it was.

Dave Jones tells Milan what he wants to hear and for now he sems to accept it but for god's sake wake up and smell the coffee Milan he is going to cost you a fortune in the end, you will have to pay him to go has DJ knows he his due some pay off and will not walk away

He says he can turn it round but can anyone see any light at the end of the tunnel

It will stillbe our team when they have both left Hillsborough so until then keep smiling at least we support the best
team in Sheffield

We need a good man manager.
A man for the future who will be there for years and bring young players through.
I think Alan Curbishley myself but some don't rate him.
We shouldn't have got rid of Megson.We would have been in playoffs and i reckon we'd have gone up anyhow.
Even if we didn't, we'd have walked league one this year.
This season we'd have been going up with a strong foundation but as it stands ,we're going down.

Totally agree with your comments on Megson.
MMs hasty decision to sack Megson because - "we couldn't afford to miss out on promotion" - will probably result in us being in Lge1 two years later !
Megson would have built and progressed, ironically what Jones keeps saying he does best ??
However not sure about Curbishley, I can see the similarity with Jones.
Big reputation with not a lot of evidence to support it.
Only been at two clubs , a promotion and a relegation in there, both London clubs too so never worked in North, not sure at all.

Difference is though he worked on shoestring budgets.
Ok jones has this season but in the past he's had money.
Curbishley has a good reputation for bringing youth players through.
We did years ago when Jewell was in charge but they all seemed to disapear to the likes of leeds and the blunts.
I remember beating wimbledon and utd with really young sides.Future looked great but we were massively in debt if i remember.
Anyhow i understand Curbishley isn't everyones cup of tea.
Keegan is a pie in the sky name but christ if he was to come the players would get a lift i'm sure.
Long story short, jones needs to be sacked tomorrow.
No one could do a worse job, even Eustace :)

Totally agree , change desperately needed, in fact a few weeks overdue.
If it was Curbishley , I wouldn't complain , and fail to see how anybody can do worse than our Dave !

A manager that demands the players sweat blood. Gary Megson, Martin Allen, someone in this kind of mold. A manager that demands pride & passion nothing less. A manager that the players respect and the fans feel in touch with. Someone who's the opposite to Dave Jones.

MM's made two bad decisions, sacking GM and appointing DJ. A new manager coming in will mean he's paying three managers salaries, (DJ's on a three and half year contract: it won't just be torn up), so the short termism has to stop and that may mean MM realising he has to be little more flexible in how he deals with his managers although you'd have thought he'd have learnt that by now. Of the names mentioned as coming in I can't really see any of them being right for us. And who of any standing and ability will want to come in and sort out the mess we are in. It may take some time to find the right man.

I think Curbishley,Coyle or Davies or even Megson back would be good enough to get us to premier league.
Not sure how they would fair once we got there but i think they would get us there and thats the most important thing.
Any of those couldn't fail to improve the current situation.

Good old Dave !
Quotes from yesterday ..... The only way we get through this is to stick together - there is no I, it's all about we ...

Then when asked about yet another defeat he says ..... Well I didn't give two penalties away .... I didn't push the ref ! ....
Nice to know you take your responsibilities seriously Dave

Need Megson back. Remember dave jones went up with Gary megsons team. Llera, semedo, Antonio, Marshall where all signed by Gary Megson and they where/are all quality players. Now dave jones has put his own team out look we've got pecnik,bothroyd, sidbe and loads of other crap player. If Gary Megson comes back he won't let this happen to our club because he's a true blue. He's got lots of passion and he can actually sign some quality players!!!

Gary Megson will not be allowed past security or across the threshold until MM is gone.

Megson won't be back while MM own the Club.

More to the point, Megson madei it clear that he would love to come back .... When MM had gone !
They fell out because of false promises made by MM and his refusal to support Megsons very reasonable requests for more sensible investment.
The story will be told one day ?

Yeah but would mm rather be stupid and risk the future of the club just over some argument hmmmmmm no he wouldn't because he we get relegated the value of the club will plumit down and let's face it mm wants a lot of profit from this club

Dont be so nieve !
Do you really think men like MM turn round and say "I'm sorry Gary I got it wrong" ? (Even tho' he did !)
Thats why Jones is still here, because if MM sacks him hes admitting he got it wrong !
BUT we all know he was wrong anyway, and sooner or later hes going to have to get rid of him .
I'm sure he knows already that he should have done it sooner but HIS pride looks like costing him a fortune , and us .. OUR pride !

It was the wrong decision at the time, but the run of wins Dj put us on and promotion means it was the right decision.

The wrong decision is how much time he's giving Dj now. If mm chokes up £20k per week for a player, why isn't he asking to get something in return?

I see megson knocking around, as i don't live too far.
Next time i see him i'm going to plead that he rings mm up and buries the hatchett for the good of the club.
He's a completely different bloke to the way he comes across in business mode.

Er i've spoke to him quite a few times,good bloke.
He is different to how he is on tv and radio.
And it would be better for the club if he came back.Even warnock would be welcome atm.
So why tick disagree?
