What a load of complete rubbish are you trying to rewrite history? The plan all along from Wilder was to sign young hungry players we could potential sell on for a profit if things went south. How old do you think Berge, Lowe, Bogle, McBurnie, Mousset, Brewster, Robson were when we signed them? Ageing squad my arse, most of that ageing squad just got us promoted again.Utter bollocks, Wilder left us with a team that was generally too old for premiership football.
Since Heckingbottom came in we have seen more youngsters play for us than we did in the previous 10 years.
You obviously aren't a Hecky fan, but going forward we are in a much better position than we were under Wilder.
Illiman was never going to stay no matter what we offered him.
Just one other thought it is possible that we haven't offered some players new contracts because Hecky doesn't think those players are the future of the club.
I may be wrong, but I bet most fans are pleased with swopping Berge for Hamer.
Wait until the end of the transfer window and then decide where we are.
Every time this club spends over 3m it’s a gamble because you can’t cover for players that don’t work out by spending more money. It wasn’t just Wilders plan by the way it was an agreed plan with the transfer committee and the owner. It worked in the first season and could be argued by us finishing 9th those players paid for themselves.
