Poor old Gary Megson.
Published Date:

Poor old Gary Megson . . . the guy must have loved it when the fixture list sent him back to his old club Forest for his first match in charge of the Foxes.
But not only did the unlucky Megson have to endure the predictable catcalls from the Reds contingent, but staggeringly from a section of his own 'supporters' before a ball had even been kicked.
Give the man a chance! The guy couldn't have been given a worse welcome than if he had lost his first 10 games, raised tickets price by 2,000 per cent and banned beer!
Steering his team to their first City Ground victory in living memory thawed the frost everso slightly.
But just days later and after a 2-0 defeat at Charlton - one of the toughest fixtures City will face this season – the boo boys were back.
Incredible!
Okay, his record at Forest wasn't great, but nor was the state of the club he found himself at or the support he received.
But his CV can boast an achievement City fans would give their right arm for – guiding a Championship club into the Premiership, twice, while at West Brom.
Granted he couldn't he keep the Baggies at the top level. But surely that's down to top flight new boys now needing an annual budget equating to the gross domestic product of Venezuela just to wipe their feet on the Premiership welcome mat.
For those who crave instant success either awake from your slumbers or join your fellow fairweathers down at Stamford Bridge or Old Trafford.
Otherwise give your new man a chance.
You might just be surprised.
