when we win the title

[blade too long]

surely its the biggest thing weve won since I was alive

should we order a statue , or just name a stand after him

 

[DifferentClass]

The statue can wait for a good few years I reckon

 

[SwissBlade]

A statue of whats become known as the 'Wilder belly slide'

 

[BushBlade]

No. It's still just winning the third division. No living person should be given a statue at a football club.

 

[Tyler Durden]

Oh for fucks sake. Someones given him fizzy pop again.

 

[blade too long]

well Coventry named their club after their FA cup winning manager
signs everywhere
Sillet In Spurs Upset banners everywhere

 

[Ricky]

I think we should just dedicate it to Jessica Ennis.

 

[Tyler Durden]

Named their club after him?

Can't say I've ever heard of Dave Coventry before.

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

No. It's still just winning the third division. No living person should be given a statue at a football club.

You don't think Fergie deserves one at Man Utd?

when the sign says "to the Shithouse" its just the sign for the toilets, not a dedication to the FA cup winning manager

Have you actually gone mental?

I don't want to sound like a curmudgeonly bastard but as brilliantly as Wilder has done this season, I am hoping that it is the start of a long and legendary career at the Lane.

Lets save the statues until we have had success amongst our proper peer group under him.

Well said Sir.

No. He never once got them promoted, never mind win the 3rd division.

Yes definitely! Something in the mould of Shankly or Ferguson, something we can build on season after season, a Wilder legacy that all Blades will look back on with pride years from now. Patience but progress, that's the type of tenure we need.


Unless of course he starts messing up and we struggle next season in which case Wilder can f*ck right off!

Don't know but just in case what's your name

 

[BushBlade]

You don't think Fergie deserves one at Man Utd?

No, not until he's dead or at least properly retired. Certainly not while he's still at the club.

It can rub people up the wrong way. I don't think the Leicester players were too impressed with the statue of Ranieri. It's supposed to be a team game, that's what managers tell the players, it can look a hypocritical saying that with a statue of you outside.

Next to the 'for sale' signs?

 

[Tyler Durden]

Then again if Derek Dooley can get a statue then it can't take much.

 

[TBW57]

I agree. With all due respect to Derek his statue should be in the city (or even at Swillsborough) and be replaced by one of Woody at the Lane.

 

[snootyfenooty]

Kell Brook deserves a mention (not quite a statue) for bringing international focus to BDTBL, something our football club has been struggling to do for a long long time.

 

[Tyler Durden]

Exactly my sentiment. Derek Dooley is a notable Sheffield figure but there are more deserving club legends worthy of being immortalised.

This would make a good pose



The Everton player would have to be shifted though because he would be using up a car parking space.

 

[HodgysBrokenThumb]

We could get the one of Ronaldo secondhand at a bargain price. It looks as much like Wilder as it does Ronaldo.

[Danny_Blade]

You don't think Fergie deserves one at Man Utd?

Of course he does but not until he's passed on and besides this is an extreme case.

They did name one of the side stands after him though in his last season, so that will suffice while he's still alive yet.

Then again if Derek Dooley can get a statue then it can't take much.

I've often wondered.

Did the sculptor only sculpt one leg on Dooley's effigy?
I bet i'm NOT the only one who's had sleepless nights over Dooley's missing leg.
