Would of gone above Chesterfield

With a win today. I knew they'd struggle this season. Appointing 2 relegation specialists after losing PC was not the best of ideas. I wonder what the odds are for another Wilson relegation. Might put a cheeky bet on.

Unfortunately it looks like we are going to do what Chesterfield did a few years ago. Only 1 point above joint bottom now. Can see it getting nasty if we lose on Monday. Please please sack him before the transfer window.

 

"Please please sack him before the transfer window"

Sounds like a plan

 

That's too sensible for BFC wait until he's spent January budget and then sack him after relegation

Would HAVE gone above Chesterfield

 

We need a Jexit referendum.

 

I'm guessing you're calling Wilson a relegation specialist? Someone who's had 2 relegations in over 20 years of management? And one of them he took over a side where the dressing room was split & we were already cast adrift. Pretty harsh.

 

He was also relegated with MK Dons but hardly a relegation specialist! His relegation first time round with Barnsley was always going to be a battle against odds. His second, he took over a loosing side with all kinds of background problems. Danny might not be the greatest manager of all time but he's had a good career and I am certain if LJ gets while the end of the season, Danny's Chesterfield will finish above us

2 relegations???

Relegated us from the Prem.

Was manager of Wednesdays relegation season up until March.

Kept MK Dons up due to a 10 point deduction only to relegate them the next season.

Relegated Hartlepool in his first season there.

Quit Swindon in their relegation season after taking them from the POF to the RZ in March.

Relegated us from the Championship.

That is at least 6 relegations he is mainly responsible for. That is what I call a relegation specialist.

 

How does a relegation specialist win 40% of his 1,000 games in management?

Sorry mate, you're looking for something's that not there.

 

The facts are he was a guddun but them days are well behind him.
Good bloke thou

 

Danny is far from being a relegation specialist. I'd have him back here.

 

There's clearly an agenda if your blaming him for our relegation from the championship & then attributing blame for seasons where he wasn't manager at the time of the relegation to him. It's one or the other, you can't have it both ways.

And to use the premiership season to knock him is incredible. It was an achievement to get past 30 points when you look at our squad compared to others in the league at that time.

I see him as a top 6 specialist with how many times he's finished there

 

He has made a career out of 1997 had some big budgets to spend. 1000+ games in management and two promotions one with us in 97 and hartlepool (after relagating them first) more of a relegation specialist than a promotion

 

Wilson certainly has to take most of the blame for our 2014 relegation. 2 more wins would have saved us. There was no honeymoon period, he shipped out hardworkers for lazy tossers, played defensive in must win games such as Leeds at home and generally did a terrible job. I hate it when people make out his job was impossible despite Flicker achieving it in a much harder season the year before.

If you are the manager from August to March in a relegation season you are obviously largely responsible.

 

Leeds did their damndest to give us that game but danny foiled em.
Did well for us first time round but has been found out ever since .
Good luck to him will always get a good reception from me on his visits to the well in whatever capacity apart from manager of reds.

Dead fish eyes.

 

Danny Wilson was half responsible for taking us down from the Championship, yes he inherited **** but he brought in **** as well, he set a terrible defending team up defensively most games, isolated our most skill full player in Paddy McCourt, offered Stephen Dawson another contract which luckily he turned down, and the cherry on top he was responsible for the most mind numbing football match I have ever had to witness at Doncaster last season.

The only positive is that we will probably never employ him again now he's been back and failed miserably.

Chesterfield are welcome to him and need all the luck they can get.

This was Danny's first season as manager of Wednesday. The club have never been higher some 17 years later. This was a club on the slide who'd finished two places above relegation the year before, and in getting them to 12th and beating treble winners Man Utd along the way, he also had to deal with the Di Canio nonsense. I think he did a decent job.

Before that he took over us and after spending close to **** all and losing his best players over three seasons he guided us to a 6th, 10th and 2nd placed finish in the second tier. We garnered 35 points in our Premier League season, and in the history of that division only 6 clubs have gone down with a greater points tally. And I don't think it's bias to suggest we were ******* robbed by officials that season, decisions that cost us at least three points and robbed us of players in the run in.

After his first good season at Wednesday, the next went horrifically as the clubs debts began to bite and the likes of Thome and Carbone jumped ship. He was sacked with two months of the season left and Shreeves fared no better in trying to keep a sinking ship from erm, sinking. It was Danny's dream job. But he got it at the wrong time, after Francis and Atkinson's successes and the clubs overspending.


He was manager of the year and twice manager of the month in his Barnsley and Wednesday tenures.


He succeeded Tony Pulis at Bristol City whose side had finished 9th in the third division. They finished 9th in Danny's first season too, but with more points. They finished 7th and just outside the playoffs the next season. They did reach the playoffs the third season, but lost in the semi's to Cardiff, although they did win the FLT at Wembley. In his 4th season they finished 3rd, a point off automatic promotion. And lost to Brighton in the final of the playoffs 1-0. He then left the club by mutual consent. I'd suggest he did an oreight job.


His time at MK Dons wasn't great. Kept them up in his first half a season, then relegated the following year. But they were a bloody joke club back then with **** all going for em. It's only last season they've pushed on, after a decade of overspending.

In his first year at Hartlepools he got them promoted as runners up. And then a 16th placed finish in L1. He left them in December 2008 with the club 13th in the division.

He joined Swindon that Xmas who were in the same division but the relegation zone. He kept them up comfortably. The following season he lost Simon Cox to Reading and signed Charlie Austin from non league. They reached the playoff final, losing 1-0 to Millwall. The following season he lost Paynter, Greer and Austin and they were in the relegation zone when he resigned in March. Paul Hart took over and they went down as bottom of the division.


He took over at Sheff Utd and had them nailed on for promotion until Ched's rapey incident bit them on the arse. They lost on pens in the playoff final. A 19 game unbeaten run the following season and a 5th placed position with a month to spare wasn't good enough and he was sacked. Morgan took over and they lost to Yeovil in the playoff semi's.


And then he took over us again and couldn't stop us being relegated before being sacked 6 months into last season with us not pulling up any trees.


Safe to say, he's had some ups and downs.


Games: 1,013
Wins: 405
Draws: 265
Losses: 342
Win Percentage: 40%



I think all of the above points to a decent manager, decent career. I also believe that only at Sheff Utd did he ever have charge of what you'd call a 'fancied' club at the time. You could make a case for Bristol City, but the rest? All clubs on their respective arses when he arrived.


Good luck to him at Chesterfield. He was only watching on yesterday, but that looks another tough job he's got. I believe he shouldn't have been sacked as our manager when he was. I hope his success at Chesterfield doesn't affect our status. Ahem.

 

Are you watching a different club? Danny was appointed in late December, not August. We got 24 points from his 26 games. Not good enough. But as much as I appreciated Flicker's great escape season, I think that was an easier effort at survival considering he knew the squad, he'd been key to signing the players, coached them, etc etc. Danny's attempt at survival was always going to be harder in my opinion. He didn't get close to achieving it. No doubt about that. But do I blame him for that relegation? Aye, in so much as I blame Flicker, the players, board members too. It's not as black and white as it being one man to laud or one man to blame. Just as I don't laud Danny only for our promotion in 1997. I credit the board, players and coaches too. And the 5,000 of us who were there from the start when 10,000 others twigged on later...
