I think we saw with Mr Warnock at Rotherham that even players that supporters had thought were rubbish can be made into a winning team by the right man......

cobbler150 whats your hopes on Wilders replacement for your L1 campaign?

 

[Northyorksblade]

I completely forgot to mention, don't be surprised if you sign Adam Smith our keeper, young talent got involved in a naughty video when at Leicester and was sacked ends up with you. Easily best keeper we have had here in years, if ever(Mark Bunn being the last) Also Ricky Holmes, who I cant believe has spent his career in lower league football he is 29 He. has a great footballing brain and can he finish, think he had about 5 goal of the season contenders. Wilder calls him 'his little magician'

Below was his and our goal of the season.

Punchy will love that hoof move

Punchy will love that hoof move

How we play relating to tactics , systems , formation is down to Wilder , with the tools he is working with . The type of football Wilder requires to deliver and what we cry out for is winning football - end of .

Let's back the a Wilder fella whatever we play , as long as we win more than we lose .

Doesnt matter though does it. We are a death trap for managers. Theres so much wrong at board level.

Wilder has everyones best wishes but I wont be surprised if we are here again next season having crashed another manager into the wall.

Another one using back to front logic.

Just because we've continuously failed then there must be something wrong at board room level but no one seems to know the specific reason apart from saying the words " it's McCabe to blame".

We have been basically the biggest spenders, with the manager being financially backed every year. We've had unprecedented communication of club matters from Jim Phipps. We've recently signed big heroes on massive wages John Brayford and Bily Sharp. We've recently appointed the best available managers at big expense.
Basically we've been the most ambitious club in league 1 and always the bookies favourites to win the league each year hence why our gates remain around the 20,000 mark BUT it must the boards fault.

The negative is that we've failed to gamble everything on promotion and when players want to leave and we get a good offer we (like all clubs) sell our better players if it's for the best. A bit like Liverpool selling Saurez and then Sterlng.

Be careful what you wish.

cobbler150 whats your hopes on Wilders replacement for your L1 campaign?

Now Wilder has gone I would be very happy to stay in league 1. If I am honest I think its where we belong, so I would like a manager whose proven in this league, Cotterill being my choice. The bookies favs in Page and Bowyer do not fill be with confidence at all. We have a terrible record of employing managers on a downward spiral. There are a couple of players Wilder brought in John Marquis and Danny Rose who have been great, doubt we will sign them now. I just hope its done quick. The chances are we will get a new manager who wants to bring in his own players blar blar rather than build on what we have, just hope we don't become the league whipping boys, if we do ill be hoping you lot smash Dons and Posh.

On the subject of Calvert-Lewin, there is something there no doubt, has a good knack of finding the back of the net, frustrating to watch sometimes. Sort of striker you spend 89 minutes moaning about, then all of a sudden pops up with something out of no where. Sure he will be given a chance under Wilder.

Hello Blades, Cobblers fan in peace here. I don't know if anyone has bothered to come on here from my club to post thoughts or pass on what to expect, but I have been fairly keen to since you we knew Wilder was going, and having read some of the thoughts on here I just want to dispel a few myths.


Aware that a few of you are under whelmed by his appointment due to him not having managed at this level or a club as big as you are. First of all any thing that you have heard that he play long ball football is highly inaccurate and likely to have come from jealous Oxalona fans. Since his appointment we have always played or attempted to play football at high intensity, passing, triangles, using the width of the pitch and something I've loved quick and clever set pieces.

All players he has brought into the club are of competitive nature and recruitment policy has tended to be people with experience in winning teams, who like to play football. He instilled a never say die attitude and created a team that never new they were beaten, finding a way to win and adapting to the game was again something he was very good at. Could never fault his decision making in a game, the days of watching managers make frustrating subs etc we gone under him and Knill.
His man management has been spot on to, he was not scared to loan out and transfer list our big marquee signing in O'Toole, something that transformed him into our player of the season, or drop Cresswell our 'rock' at the back we paid a bit of money for. He works on merit basis when it comes to team selection, often key players have been suspended and on return spent games on the bench due to their replacement giving him no reason to drop them.

His passion and love for football it seems means he will always tell it like it is, if you've been outplayed and won, that's what he will say. Never shy away from an awkward question about players’ ether. I could of course go on, as I firmly believe that without this man, I would have no club. With your budget and platform there is no way I can’t seem him taking you up. I've got friends from Sheffield (united fans of course) really hope you go up this season. If you've got the time watch the famous speech that saved our club from going bust! Its now Cobblers history and has put the word 'appeh' in our all vocabulary! The link is below, it’s worth it. Good Luck for season!

Thanks for taking the trouble to post on here and good luck next season.

I'll give you a specific regarding McCabe;

Allowing Clough to (or employing bafoons that....) spunk £1,500,000 plus an enormous contract, on a full back, to then be next to plotless within a year or so.

It's this type if incompetence that fucks many off.

To be fair though his signing was welcomed by almost all fans as the second coming. If, like me, you questioned the logic of spending so much on a fullback, you got roundly called a 'pig'.

Can't believe a large majority thought it would be wise to spend up to £2m on him.

Fans lost their minds over Brayford. Unfortunately and to our cost, so did the 'professionals' at the club.

 

[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

£2m (thereabouts) on a hipster beard and an armful of tattoos.

That's what wins promotions.

Come on NC, give us our money back and take the Prodigal with you to the Championship.

to put it in context
Many saw it as a sign we were going to loosen up the pursestrings and splash out on the 3 or 4 players we needed


It wasnt , it was in fact taking what was left of the cup runs season ticket money and player sales cash and vinegar stroking it all on a signing that they hoped would paper over all the cracks

And we didn't consider for one moment that he might come back and be utterly gash.

And didn't consider for one moment that we might not get promoted... despite the fact we'd looked shit all season and were well off the pace.

Who's we ?
The fans ?

I always consider that a signing might be utterly gash ,i also visualise them holding the premierleague trophy in a blades kit

Im a football fan thats what we do
And thats the extent of our knowledge and input on the game

It was questionable at least, from where the fans were sat. But remember, fans aren't in s position to know how much is going to be spent overall, so can't objectively judge any signing by itself. Those in charge of the finances must have known how much of a chunk of the budget was going on one player - that's unforgivable.

I suspect that's why a number of those in charge at the time have been binned.

An absolutely superb OP, and thanks for taking the time to come on here and share your thoughts.

The main concern for me is that it seems CW needs time to build a team and get his lads in to do the job. Sceptical as to whether our chairman will allow that. To be frank, I'm sceptical that many fans will allow that too, because many are so restless from being camped in this dog shit league.

Open minded for next season, but can't say optimistic.

I would be quite surprised if many of us thought that CW was suddenly going to transform us into a promotion winning side in one season, hope he does, but I think most accept that it will take maybe a season or two. I'd like to see some progress next year, which NA was unable to serve up the season just gone. The OP can only say what he sees, whatever, their achievements last season were remarkable, holding it together right to the end of the campaign, not taking their foot off the gas.

 

[crucialkneeligaman]

Saw the words " leagues whipping boys ", and thought you were writing about us again.

SUFC manager has one remit.
Up after one season.

Clough = Out (although he had longer)
Adkins = Didn't even make a year.

Wilder = ??????

This time next season, are we going to be looking for another man who has one season?

If we ain't happy, the support that is, I can't see any change in the proceedings.
