Latest Wilder interview

[Kelso]

Reported on Radio Sheffield this morning that Wilder is saying that some off the transfer listed players might have to start the season in the side. As I assume that this is picked up from the interview on Tuesday, did he actually say that, or is it artistic licence by RS. If he did say it, alarm bells are beginning to ring

Wouldn't surprise me - will be difficult to get everybody that he wants in before the start of the season - the window closes at the end of August, don't forget.
He's got 2 months before the season starts - there's plenty of time to sort out the priority positions at CB and CM

Kev ..... "Season Tickets...
Season Tickets,
Come and get ya lovely Season Tickets...

What did I tell ya Princey Ol' Boy. Sack Adkins, bring in a Blade,

we get our money back...

Cheers lads, it works a treat, you lot NEVER let me down....."

Kev... "Ahh, Mr Academy Manager, select a dozen of your finest young men,
tell them to report to Mr Wilder immediately.... "

Oh dear so he's backtracked from 'no place for the players who are listed' to this already

 

[Jan Age]

If it turns out over the course of the season Wilder has not been backed will we learn that it is the owners that need shifting or will we continue to fit the easy target of the manager.

The definition of madness is doing the same thing and hoping for a different result.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

I'm not sure I'm going to get on with "over the line".

There is technology that can help you.

 

[west_yorks_blade]

Are we moving into the 'everything has turned to shit' phase already?

I'm still trundling slowly up the rollercoaster track towards relative happiness.

You're going to have to go ahead without me. Don't forget to smile at the camera on the really steep decline.

Kev... "Hello Mark, think we've got our wires crossed, how about a three year deal and still our no.1? You will, Splendid. Tell Chris I sent you...."

Kev... "Hello is that Jay, think we've got our wires crossed son, how about a three year deal and still our team captain? You will, Splendid. Tell Chris I sent you...."

Kev... "Michael, hello. So it didn't work out at Tranmere Rovers. Never mind, how about a three year deal... You will, Splendid. Tell Chris I sent you...."

and on it went.....

Just bumps in the road

we shouldn't be worried or concerned, far from it... we should be all happy and smiling and "whatever nonsense #' they come up with this season, but most of all, we should be buzzing 'cos...

we've got the red and white stripes back.

Lots to read lots into then. I await fax machine on holiday jokes, mucknnettles alert and 28 different ITK monkeys on their way.

Isn't pre season just the best

My inside source tells me that Messi definitely isn't coming, couldn't get the contract details "over the line"

 

[CarlMcBlade]

Think Adkins has now been totally erased mentally from my SUFC history book.

I love a proper ITK er,proper info !

Crabbie

You do realise that your avar is of a female crab, don't you?
Was that deliberate - like those that used to have totty as their avars - such as Kelly Brooke (stannyblade) or mattbianco1 Matts previous - now replaced by a tasteful shot of Natalie Dormer
Are you sure you are complying with the avar rules laid down by The Fox in February last year - or giving them a side swipe?

When you ask her what's in for you - does she reply, "sand"

Funnily enough if Adkins used the phrase "over the line" there would be some apoplectic meltdown on here. Wilder mentions it and no comment at all

As for Messi, what would we want him for? According to the football geniuses that frequent this forum he is too small.

I had no idea!! I did once ask someone on holiday how you sexed a Crab, but my Portuguese is a little rusty and it all went a bit Midnight Express.

As for Messi, no summer is complete without some Huffy Uber - usually Houso - giving it the old "Of course, some of our so-called "fans" would be moaning even if we signed Messi and Ronaldo"

Not a real fan of corporate claptrap, but that phrase doesn't bother me too much. For some reason "low hanging fruit" brings out the Charles Manson in me. I hear what you are saying regarding Adkins and Wilder, for me the trouble with Adkins is that it seemed to be the ONLY language he spoke. I kept expecting him to break out the fucking Powerpoint any minute. Again for me, ultimately he achieved middle management nirvana by talking as though he knew what he was doing but delivering the sum total of fuck all.

I did it yesterday to get it out of the way.

I mentioned this to my dad the other day so far I have heard him say:

1) Move forward together
2) keep the ball out at one end and put it in at the other
3) Working hard behind the scenes
4) Get it over the line

All things Adkins said.... Its as though we have a PR mentor telling him how to respond. I think the only difference is that Wilder fills the gaps in between with meaningful stuff and not just positive waffle. However the tough questions are starting to be given the standard answers.

We'd play them at centre half though.

Take that raspberry beret off LYDON, it doesn't suit you. And stop upsetting that bloody dove.

 

[Darthblade]

Regrettably, when we look at the cold hard facts, we have released a load of dross, transfer listed 7 ineffective players and signed two free transfers ( almost free anyway ).

Sounds positive but in REAL terms, little has happened that will give any realistic chance of challenging for promotion, yet.

If we also factor in what was on Radio Piggy this morning...... Wilder now saying that some off the transfer listed players might have to start the season in the side. If he did indeed say this then its a real concern as this suggests that there's been no interest in our listed players ( no surprise there ) and that we aren't likely to bring in new ones until they've been culled !!!

This, I regret to say; means we can pack away the promotion celebrations for yet another year and carry on enjoying mediocrity at BDTBL.

I shall be holding onto my optimistic thoughts for a while longer before I start getting excited for the new season, because there are precious few encouraging noises coming from SUFC at the moment and we still appear to be "talking the talk" rather than "walking the walk" !!

Still; the cynical old bas**rd in me is still smiling at a comment somebody made the other day ........ people are still buying season tickets aren't they ........ not quite the time for us to be given the bad news just yet !!!!

I have heard about him saying that some players listed might have to play. Can I ask to what the question what he was answering? Sound bites are great but don't tell the whole story
