What a load of shít. I suppose those embarrasing bedsheets made Gartside made the decision too.
The bedsheets were pathetic and proved nothing because 1) it was badly organized 2)not enough people were behind it at the time(including me) 3) It held absoulty no validity whatsoever when you could just seen 100 15/16yr olds in their trackies standing outside with their mispelt banners.
When the knives were out big time for Megson in those final two between October 09 and December 09 and he was often being loudly booed off the pitch, it was only a matter of time before he went.
Had after the 2-2 draw with Hull, and all the other shíte results, Blackburn, Wolves etc. we clapped the team off and cheered, and people kept going to matches rather than stop turning up then I'd predict that Megson would still be manager- or at the very least he'd have lasted longer than he did.
The players have come out since and have as much as admitted the fans never took to Megson and got him the sack.
