Archive | Manager List

 

Below is the ultimate list of the Managers of Sheffield Wednesday dating right back to Mr Arthur Dickinson who took control of the Owls when the Football Association League was created$. Gaffer, Boss, Coach call them what you will. These are the men who made the decisions that shaped the history of our club.

It is certainly arguable that losing in the final of a cup competition is a failure, in this instance simply getting to the final is good enough for us.

The Managers

* Danny Wilson was Owls manager for the majority of 1999/00, by the time Peter Shreeves took control in March their fate was pretty much sealed.
