When DC appointed Tony Pulis many fans, including me, were positive because it seemed that in response to our club being in a mess DC had decided to bring in a senior figure in the game to get a real hold of what needed to be done. Anyone who knows anything about TP knows that if he gets on well with a Chairman it’s fine but if he doesn’t then problems might arise. Did DC and Mr Paixao understand this...

One factor of football that remains ever constant when the leaves drop off the trees in Autumn, and the arrival of wet weather and heavy pitches, is the traditional wave of manager departures. The middle week of November alone saw two Championship clubs lose faith and with it the main man being shown the door.

This is a decision that effects so many people in a football club. From the managers secretary right down the academy. I can recall in November 1997...

When Garry Monk was appointed there was a fairly negative reaction from lots on fans on Twitter etc. This was reflected in the next paper WOTMT with plenty of captions addressing these points. During his reign that negativity followed him right up until the day of his departure.

It looked as if relegation was looming and the majority of fans had lost all confidence in GM after the recent results, on top of a dismal record. But we then...

It’s already been a season like no other, watching the games on i-follow in empty stadiums with nothing but the bellowing of the backroom staff and the heartfelt groans of John Pearson for company (and yesterday a Radio Sheffield commentary that in...

These days all I can usefully write about Sheffield Wednesday are my own memories of 'the good old days' - I can reel off the names of the 1966 Cup Final Team like your rote learned times table from early school days, but name three of the buggers who wear the blue and white these days ? That's another matter.

Looking at photos of Gerry you pick up certain impressions; the ruggedness of his North East origins, his concentration on the...
