[St Charles Owl]

To be accurate Peter Shreeves actually relegated The Owls - you'd already sacked Danny. He did get you halfway up the Premier League the previous season ....... but at the time you were a club trying to arrest a decline. David Pleat spent a lot of money to little avail and to be fair Danny was also given the ammunition to make a team, but it didn't work, and managing Wednesday does represent his least successful period.

If he can manage his usual win ratio over more than a thousand games of 40% Chesterfield will stay up ...... just. If we appoint him that is, which in the dark world of football secrets, Louis van Gaal and mince pies is anybody's guess.

Yes correct Shreeves was in charge when we went down but it was Wilson who bought the players that took us down.  Hindsight is a wonderful thing and had we known the slump we would go into maybe things would have been different.  Wilson didn't start the rot but he was part of it.  Still love him for what he did as a player though!!

The thing that gets me is the way chairmen consistently keep recycling the same old managers.  Of course eventually every manager fails and gets fired at some point but there are not enough young British managers getting opportunities to get a career going in the lower leagues.  But Wilson will definitely give you hard work and honesty with his plain speaking, I just hope he can keep you up and begin to build on the foundations you have built already.

As for DA, the less said the better from our perspective.  If he is doing a good job with you then great but he was a disaster at S6, albeit under very difficult circumstances, and he left a very sour taste in most fans mouths during his reign.  He is not the worst chairman we have had though, that honor still resides with Sir Dave Richards!!!
