Why Sheffield Wednesday?

Some of you might remember the Sheffield Wednesday story I had a few weeks ago, which was going well until my hard drive died and took the save with it. Since then I've wanted to do a new save with them, and I think this could be the perfect save for me. They are my team, and I want to see them succeed. Obviously, I am the right person to do this, me being me!

Who Am I?

I'm going to go for Jermaine Johnson as a manager. He's still playing in real life, for Wednesday, but he's my favourite Wednesday player of all time, so I've decided he's the right man to take the club forward (in-game for now). He's certainly got the credentials, having played internationally for Jamaica, and also holds a special place in the heart's of Wednesdayites worldwide!

Just to clear up any confusion, I will be removing JJ from the game via the Editor. I'll manage to think of a reason for him to end his playing career with the Owls!

Wednesday Sack Dave Jones


Sheffield Wednesday boss Dave Jones has been sacked by the Yorkshire club, despite guiding the club to promotion to the nPower Championship, after he joined in March 2012. He has only been in the job for a few months, but now the Owls will be looking to a appoint a new boss to take them forwards.

There is much speculation in the football world as to why Jones was sacked by the club he didn't lose a game at in his 11 games in charge. He amassed a total of 29 points out of a possible 33 after joining the club, and clinched promotion from League 1 on the final day of the 2011-12 season ahead of their biggest rivals Sheffield United, managed by former Wednesday player and manager Danny Wilson.

Some journalists are spreading rumours that the reason for Jones' sacking are related to a suspected affair that the former Cardiff manager had with Wednesday chairman, Milan Mandaric's wife. These rumors have been denied by both Jones and Mandaric, leaving the journalists who made the allegations an embarrassment. Many people believe that Jones was sacked because of the poor signings he has made so far in the window, however many believe the captures that the Yorkshire club have made are good, including former Tottenham defender Anthony Gardner, former Liverpool and England goalkeeper Chris Kirkland, and also the capture of Michail Antonio from Reading. Antonio spearheaded Wednesday's charge for promotion last season after joining on loan from Reading just before the derby against Sheffield United in February. He was actually signed by former boss Gary Megson for the Owls, but was sacked just days after emerging victorious in the derby.

A statement on the club's official website read "Sheffield Wednesday Football Club can today confirm that first-team manager David Jones has left the club after a mutual decision was reached by the board of directors to relieve him of his position. We thank David very much for his work accomplished here at Hillsborough. We wish him all the best in his future managerial endeavours."

So, the real reason Jones has been sacked by Wednesday remains unclear, with the club refusing to reveal any details. They are expected to begin the search for a new manager immediately, with candidates including Brian McDermott, Roberto Di Matteo, and Wednesday favourite Jermaine Johnson.
