Hang Saddam? Let's Hang Dave Allen!

This was the first thought that came to my mind this morning when I saw the headlines on most of the daily papers.


Most people would associate the name Dave Allen with the late great comedian but unfortunately for all us Sheffield Wednesday supporters we are having to put up with our own comedian of a chairman and for the last few weeks he says he has been searching and interviewing various managers for the right man for the job of taking us back up the Championship and onto the Premiership.

After the sacking of fans favourite Paul Sturrock who was one of the best managers we've had in a long time, he has appointed in my view "a yes man" in Brian Laws. Wednesday are unbeaten in the last four games (3 wins and a draw) with a virtually fully fit squad for the first time since Paul Sturrock took over and for me it's still Paul Sturrock's team.

The chairman states that he was impressed by Brian Laws' views on football and how it should be played, he then goes on about him being from the Brian Clough school. He has never managed a club like ours and only been with smaller clubs like Grimsby Town and Scunthorpe United playing a lower level of football, very similar to Chris Turner.

He is not Brian Clough and never will be and is going to find it very hard to win over a lot of Wednesday fans (this one included)...
