Laws looking for happy anniversary

Tue, 03 Nov 16:37:01 2009

Sheffield Wednesday manager Brian Laws is hoping to mark the end of his third year in charge at Hillsborough this week with victory over QPR on Saturday.

Laws left Scunthorpe to take over from previous Owls boss Paul Sturrock on November 6 2006, with his third anniversary falling on Friday.

The 48-year-old is Wednesday's longest-serving manager since Trevor Francis, who departed after just under four years in charge in 1991.

Former Nottingham Forest defender Laws is also the fourth longest-serving manager in the Championship behind Cardiff's Dave Jones, Gary Johnson at Bristol City and Doncaster's Sean O'Driscoll.

  1. building a team these days is only the half of it, If­ you don't go to the promised land then keeping­ those players can be the tricky bit. Thats where the­ money helps. Richard woods is a prime example.

  2. point 1
    Give Laws more money and its down the drain,­ if you want top quality players you have to give top­ draw wages and then the rest of the team wants the­ same. Sorry but Laws has had god knows how many players­ on loan 1 or 2 have been ok, but none have been that­ good, average money, average players.
    He wanted to­ sign Sodje's brother where is he now, same goes­ Rasiak and dont forget Billy Sharp who couldnt do it­ across the road, he's now at Doncaster, he came­ close to signing these 3 and probably many more donkeys

  3. He should go anyone can make a good team with planty of­ money? A good manager is one that can build a good team­ without a lot of money. Sturrock had less money than­ Laws and a lot worse injury problems but he was­ sacked??
