da lvbet： Former Wednesday manager, Gary Megson, has praised the impact Steve Bruce has had at Hillsborough, but questions whether he will be given the tools to take the Owls forward in the months and years ahead.
da apostaganha： Speaking to the Sheffield Star, the ex-Wednesday boss claimed the club are “still not geared for going forward” and “change has got to happen off the pitch” for the club to be successful.
He said: “There’s got to be a big change. It needed changing when I was here, and there’s no point bringing in a good manager and not letting him manage.
“So the change has not only got to happen on the pitch – that has already happened with Jos [Luhukav] leaving and Steve coming in.
“The change has got to happen off the pitch as well. I’m not on about money, but in terms of getting the structure right for the football club to go forward because it’s not.
This place is still not geared for going forward yet, but Steve will know that because of where he’s worked in the past.
“It needs a real good sweep through and in Steve they’ve got the right person to do it but if they don’t listen to him then there’s no point having him here.”
We think that the job Bruce has done has been nothing short of miraculous, and it would seem naive to assume a manager of his calibre did not have assurances regarding his input on the direction of the club going forward.
Megson’s comments are unhelpful, and at a time of such positivity at Wednesday, it is not likely to go down too well within the walls of the Hillsborough offices and boardroom.
With the club needing the board, manager, players and fans all pulling in the same direction, in light of their unforeseen play-off tilt, Megson’s intervention seems untimely in the extreme.
Although, he does go on to say that they have as good a chance to reach the play-offs as some of their rivals, so his comments regarding the general structure of the club may have been more clumsy than deliberate.
We have had our say Wednesday fans, now it’s your turn. What are your thoughts about Megson’s comments? Does the club need a behind-the-scenes overhaul? Let us know your opinion…
