It really shouldn't be a surprise that we're in turmoil. We've had a revolving door of managers for a few years who have all come in with their own ideas. The result? An endless 'churn' of playing staff without any chance of a settled side. Wilder is the latest 'drowning not waving' candidate who changes his mind on a game-to-game basis. Freeman and Coutts? One week, 'not good enough'. Now he sees these two as the way forward.
It really isn't rocket science. We're now at the stage where we've got used to this level of football and you'd have to be blind not to see who stands out for the opposition, but we dither until these players suddenly move to rivals or become financially unavailable to us. I'm thinking Clucas and Morsey. Rob Jones when he was a rock at the Lane for Donnie. Have we nobody at the club capable of spotting talent when they see it?
Some fans don't help. On the one hand they're saying 'Give Wilder more time'. Then, in the same breath it would seem that four games is more than enough evidence that Sharp is not up to it and must go.
We're also hearing that 'Wigan and Barnsley last season had poor starts, but look at where they finished.' The major difference is that they kept hold of their better players and bought wisely with players that would complement and reinforce the team they already had. This thinking is a million miles from the shambles we've got at United. We flog anything that isn't useless and keep repeating the same mistakes.
We were (mostly) worried about Long. But I thought the way Wilder handled his exit was both cruel and bullying.
