“One of the things about football that makes me laugh in football is when they say managers are ‘judged on results’. You are – but there are a lot of other things that go into it too.
“My chairman has a reputation for booting managers out – but not if you keep winning games.
“We have a lot of good people but because of the circumstances that have existed at the club, and probably still do although not to the same extent, we are miles behind where we should be.
“Because this club is so big, it will always be a work in progress until we get it back to what it was in the Premiership – but you have to start somewhere and this, hopefully, is a beginning for us.
“We have done fine recently but we are not even at the halfway stage of the season and have got to keep plugging away,” he stressed. “There are other teams on runs as good if not better than us. There are five teams on fantastic runs including Sheffield United.
“People talk about ‘style of football’ but, in my view, football management is about getting the best from what you have got.
“I have never played how I would want to play because I have never had a squad with the kind of individuals who can get results playing that way.
“But even if you have the best team in the world in terms of style and quality, you still have to have those threads of honesty, endeavour, hard work, and commitment running through the team. You won’t be able to get there on talent alone.
“If we won promotion, it would give me more satisfaction than anything else I have achieved,” he confessed.
“It would mean more because it is Sheffield Wednesday. This is my club, my city, and my people support Wednesday.”
I got it off Owlstalk - think the original interview was in the Yorkshire Post
Personally, If we get promotion this season I think we will have a job keeping Gary Megson. With his experience he will attract a lot of attention from higher clubs. There will be a lot of interest in him. Lucky for us, he is Wednesday through and through so that might keep him.
Thats an issue for the future possibly and Id welcome it. Lets hope he can keep up the good work!
I like Megson it might not look like he care at times but he really does & when we loss he go home to his missus in really bad mood like the rest of us, my missus hates it when we loss apparently i'm a rite <prick> for days after!
Wednesday til i die!!
Top stuff from gorgous Gaz , its the kind of thing we fans love to hear.
We are totally behind gorgous Gaz and the road back to the promised land has begun.
We are a team now and that's long been missing throughout the club as well as on the pitch.

Mike....I do think you should change your user name to " HO HO HO MIKE" during this festive period! Just a suggestion
HO HO HO Mike's massive....just like Santa Clause....(belly-wise at least)
Megson thinks he has more talent than most in the prem????? Jeeze..hes still deluded
He didn't say that though, did he!
Oh but he did, and even Coyle is more talented than that s(rote.
Did he say most??
There's a difference between most & many!
I imagine he probably just meant Coyle & Fergie!
Anyone else see his quote on the Megson masks?
"We took nearly 4000 supporters over the Pennines and when I looked up it was nice to see the supporters seemed a lot better looking than they normally do but then realised they were wearing masks of myself and quite a few of them could do with wearing them on a regular basis!"
