We won't now get the interest of seeing what Sherwood can do- if it ultimately failed at least it would have been interesting.

[geoff]

He's been widely dubbed as the worst manager Sheffield Wednesday have ever appointed.

A man who took a stable Championship club to a relegation battle in league one...

Just let that sink in.

My brothering law is a BIG OWL 'S fan & would agree with that statement 100%. he hasnt stopped tacking the urine for the last 15 mins my phones on melt down.

[Andio]

I will wake up in a minute, I'm sure of it.

WTF you thinking Peace? GTFO.

[ex coseley kid]

What a complete joke and a joke of a club. Well peace said we are a championship team and now he's put the structure in place. What must pepe fell like. I destest Jeremy Peace.

So do I. I'm not going to a single game next season. This jumped up, arrogant, ignorant moron needs to see how we feel. Hit his bloody pocket.

Hughton suddenly sounds SEXY.

I'm finding out where Pepe Mel goes next season and going to spend the money going over to watch his club.

MAD AS!!!!!!!!

[baggieboy74]

We should choose a day and all go and demonstrate. I also had to google him. What a joke.

[17GD]

Haha.

I haven't logged on for I don't know how long because of pure frustration with WBA in general, but I just had to log on in order to laugh at this. I really do feel sorry for all those season tickets!

Haven't been up much last season and definitely will NOT being going up this season. What a joke haha.

In my job, working with kids, football always crops up. Kids always ask who I support and I used to tell them, but recently I've been finding myself saying 'no one in particular'. This is proving to be a better tactic as I will no longer get people constantly asking me about the pathetic displays week in and week out. And now add this to the equation!

"Irvine, Irvine, who the f*** is Irvine?!" could be a song for next season perhaps? (To the Roy Chubby Brown song).

Football, it's a funny old game! And I don't think I'll stop laughing for some time!

Irvine?! Hahahaha.

[baggie96]

Awful appointment. Can't get moyes so get his former assistant. Genuinely shocked. Thought we were getting the best english speaking manager available?!

My only hope is that he will play good football now as he was at Everton last year and Martinez must have told him to?

Nevertheless worse appointment for over 10 years!

[lonions]

How can he appoint a man thats taken two teams too league one in as many seasons?

I think im going to cry into my pint! 

[Welsh_Baggie]

We won't now get the interest of seeing what Sherwood can do- if it ultimately failed at least it would have been interesting.

Very true Sherwood would have been a gamble but it was an interesting one.

This is an awful appointment - there is not a single Premier League team other than us who would have even interviewed Alan Irvine.

May as well have appointed Dave Jones.

[Andio]

We should choose a day and all go and demonstrate. I also had to google him. What a joke.

This sounds like a very good plan.

[Atomic]

Even I cannot believe this appointment.

I always said whoever was appointed we have to be behind him and whilst that logic still applies it is very difficult not to feel deflated. It's hard to see us not going down at this moment in time, there seems nothing positive at the club at all - we look a club all over that's going on the slide.

I hope I'm wrong, obviously, but I'm sort of feeling our spell in the top flight is coming to an end.

[WorcsWBA]

Can't get moyes so get his former assistant.

Despite the club trying to big up Irvine's role at Everton, he wasn't Moyes' assistant.

[boing_boing68]

Just out of interest what type of football does irvine play?

[Welsh_Baggie]

This sounds like a very good plan.

Absolutely - I will drive up from Cardiff especially.

[bednarsboingboing balls]

This sounds like a very good plan.

first home game and every home game

[ex coseley kid]

I'm up for that, I'd travel down for it for sure.

[addy]

I mean, I never thought we would be in a position where we actually recruit someone worse than Dave Jones. I feel like crying.

[koren]

The "get stable Championship clubs relegated" kind.

[geoff]

Just out of interest what type of football does irvine play?

According to my brother-in-law rubbish   

[addy]

Irvine should play the lottery later..

[Avonbaggie]

Absolute joke. There are a hell of alot of people I didn't want, but even all of those came above this bloke !!

[darby009]

simple answer, send a message like villa did with ALEX M, he is not wanted, boycott the ground..

I personally will not give the club a single penny of my money this season, glad I waited to renew....
