3. The Manager
In my humble opinion Wednesday have the most tactically astute manager not only in their recent history, but also in the Championship. Dave Jones is a man with connections all over the globe, and experience at Championship level that is near enough unrivalled. He has taken Wolves up (beating Sheffield United in the play-off final) and went close with Cardiff on a few occasions. He is well respected throughout the game as a builder of clubs, and doesnt need to throw tons of cash around in order to provide success. After the negativity of Alan Irvine and the not so impressive football Gary Megson deployed, Jones brings a freshness and an Ive been there and got the t-shirt mentality to the team. If fans cant trust Jones, who can they trust?
