Plus a lot of the senior players WHICH HE BROUGHT IN are rumoured to be unhappy with his methods and his aggressive handling of the players, and Gary Holt is even reported to be considering quitting football if he has to play for Megson much longer.
I think it's fair to say Megson needs to shoulder a fair proportion of the blame for our current plight.

2. I didn't mean that, I just meant, nice for you to have a "small" team and one that's reasonably successful. All I get is a big team doing ****e.

Looking forward to your trip down south on saturday, old boy?
