Would of gone above Chesterfield

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.

To be honest at Sheffield United he should have pissed that league ched or no ched. He had the same team as they had in the championship the season before the only player he had to sell was Jamie ward. He had a massive budget to get them promoted ched alone cost over 2million pound
