Megson to Hull??

[tony cunninghams willy]

And to think we were slated for not wanting Megson before, during or after.

Deja vu???

I am a Hull City season ticket holder and live on Bolton. Megson was hated almost from the start - Big Sam got Bolton into Europe and into a relatively stable premiership side. Megson got them playing the dullest football imaginable, got them poor results (is he being considered because his substitutions at Bolton v Hull got us a point?) he also emptied the terrace. He was hated from day one at Bolton and was detested by the time he was sacked. Megson will not only guarantee relegation but also dull football, poor results and empty terraces in teh Championship. Please Mr Pearson anyone but Megson. It is enough to make me cancel my season ticket - bad enough no Yorkshire side in the Premiership but Championship football in Megson style is too much to bear - mind you at least with the empty terraces you will be able to buy tickets on the day!

We feel your pain.

See, not everyone in football hates us and thought we had ideas above our station.

I don't know about deja-vu, but it's got a very familiar ring to it.

I think they're being totally unfair to him, poor lad.


More seriously, he'd be fckg mad to go there. After his experience with us why would he put himself through it all again ? If he's to get back he needs a small & lower league club who's fans may give him a break. He'll have a nervy if he does this. Meanwhile, he didn't get a lump-sum from us, but he's on a monthly wage for 12m following his exit &, by what he said in an interview when he was whinging that he wasn't given a one-off exit payment, if he takes another post in the 12m period he loses that.

Its easy to laugh when its others going through it:

Wasn't the phrase "water off a duck's back"?

As long as people are fool enough to pay him, Meggo'll snatch their hands off. Some footballl chairmen will never learn...

[BWFC_Insane]

If he kept them up I wouldn't be laughing and Hull fans would be happy.

Other names being mentioned like O'Leary are hardly inspiring.

Shearer? Another 9 game cameo?

If he gets the job at least he'll come off our wage bill as I understand we're still paying him as an agreement to terminate his contract couldn't be reached.

Surely Pulis is the bloke we want. Proven record at getting a team to the Premiership and keeping them there. No contest really, is it?

What is it about football fans that make them either blind or feckin' stupid ?

Pulis must be just aching to leave what he's done at Stoke to go to Hull (only town to be in BOTH editions of the book "Britain's Crappest Towns") with a far weaker squad and a 100% greater chance of relegation.

Wow !

Why not go for Capello ?

[Lord Kangana]

I can't decide whether this:

I think i'd hang myself if Megson was appointed..

this:

I would rather have my whole body waxed by Dale Winton and Graham Norton then go skinny dipping with Michael Barrymore than see Megson installed as our new Manager

or this:

Megson - no way!!!


Id sooner Brownie stay than that idiot!

is my favourite.

[hisroyalgingerness]

Well they had more than 5 points after 10 games so he's a cert to keep them up

[Athers]

Irrespective of my or our thoughts on him, a LOT of people were lining up to tell us Megson had done a decent job, but asked if they would want him as manager of their own club, not many would.

[bristol_Wanderer3]

Poor Hull fans, just to have your club associated with Megson is pretty obscene.

Football must surely be the only industry where people who have a very public job, with easily viewable results which show failure over a 14 year period, can be a favourite for a £1m per year job?

Alternatively - He's available, has relevant experience and a recent track record of organised, pragmatic, dogmatic survival... and he doesn't give a feck what anyone thinks of him..

even if he is a cnut...

Did he earn that at Bolton?

Thought it was £650k...

Not that I'd say no to £650k...

[Worthy4England]

It's like announcing the black death is heading towards your village.

Got to feel sorry for the Hull fans.

Actually - maybe you don't.

[BWFC_Insane]

Thing is Megson has shown he can go into clubs in bad positions and turn them round, West Brom and ourselves.

He kept us up from a tricky position.

Now should he do that at Hull would it not be a decent appointment?

Perhaps he is a "firefighter" manager with the ability to turn things round in the short term but not necessarily the ability to move things on long term.

I've met and worked with plenty of those types outside of football. Perhaps Megson is that?

I might set up an account on their website as HCFC Insane and float that one past them.

Yep, I agree with that. The thing that I've noticed is that Coyle talks of us retaining our league status as being a platform on which to build - Megson saw us retaining our league status as being his job done.

I think thats probably true.

Coyle actually does and says a lot of the same things as Megson he just says them better.

But as you say its obvious Coyle has a burning ambition and that shines through, whereas it didn't with Gary, doesn't mean he was no good initially he just couldn't inspire beyond what was deemed "acceptable" and I guess any slight slip from that position can be very costly!
