Shieber pops his head around. "Anything you want from me?" "Pizza," laughs Wilder. "And 10 million quid."

Fantastic, best article I've read in ages. And proof, if proof be needed, that this club is in the best and safest hands its had for years, if not decades.

yeah it makes me happy to read about wilder, he know's exactly what he's doing!!

Certainly puts things into perspective of how manic it is. I also had a chuckle that there was no mention of John Egan despite all the journo's and so called ITK's!

I think there are certainly some question marks over the medical staff though.

The club doctor, who conducts the medical, returns from The Co-op with two chocolate cakes and two lemon drizzle cakes for the final push.

That's an excellent insight and explains a lot.

Thought it didn't make sense to have Quinna (when he's almost identical to Brooks) but it seems he came as a pair with Sinclair. It was the highly rated Sinclair that we really wanted but we weren't prepared to pay an agent who was trying to pressurise us into paying last minute additional fees. Sinclair and Quinna have now both lost out due to having the same greedy agent.

Regards Cole, looks like Fleetwood were being greedy and kept raising the asking price, we refused then they broke and came back to us accepting the earlier bid BUT they missed out handing the paper work in by a few minutes. So the Cole deal was agreed by all parties but just missed the deadline.

Basically it's like a game of poker.
Agents are used to clubs breaking and paying what ever is requested.

Wilder seems to have principles and is a man of his word.
With that attitude it might have lost out in the short term but will be a winner with respect in the long term.

Excellent read. Thanks for sharing. Might give those who want to blame McCabe and the Prince a slightly different perspective?

Then again, maybe not!

Really fascinating article.

Agents like Stratford (and the other one) are only after 1 thing and it's not the players future.

Glad we don't do business that way.

Glad Donaldson is basically free. Shame we didn't get a deal over the line for cole tho.

Why were they (agent) pissing about so late

 

[sirchris]

cracking read very Interesting to read how much power bloody agents have

 

[DronnieBlade]

I think there are certainly some question marks over the medical staff though.

The club doctor, who conducts the medical, returns from The Co-op with two chocolate cakes and two lemon drizzle cakes for the final push.

Was the club doctor looking to swap the cakes for Hanson ?

UTB

 

[INTAKE BLADE]

Cheers Ross.
Enjoyed that.

 

[Jesus_was_a_Blade]

Amazing read that.
Don't know what to make of it yet though...

 

[HoodedClaw]

Excellent article cheers for the link designedbyross

 

[blademark]

What an absolutely fascinating insight. Couldn't take my eyes off it.

 

[unitedbhoy]

Top class read that and big insight into the mess of deadline day

 

[bladesmanluke]

Very good read. Good lord I hope Devante doesn't turn out to be the next bloody Maradona we've missed out on. I think we'll go for him again in January, but knowing our luck he'll have bagged 25 by then and go to a bigger club

 

[LoxBlade]

Really disappointed we didn't get the Cole deal over the line when it sounded so close. Hopefully it can be ressurected in January, brilliant read that mind!

 

[Stretch]

Wow, that is one of the best things I have read in ages.

This paragraph sums up everything wrong with the game:

Sinclair, by the way, is just leaving Sheffield train station. He texted Wilder: "Train just getting in now, wish you and the lads all the best for the season ahead." Wilder says he can't help but feel "gutted for the lad. ... He wanted to play, he wanted to come here. So did Quina. That's two lads who wanted to be here but who have been messed about by the system. We'll be walking out in front of 40,000 at Sunderland next week; they'll be walking out in front of 400 at under-23 games. Crazy."

That's one of the best articles I've read on United, or even football in general, for years. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
The fact that it makes a few on here look like mugs helps too.

 

[Pollingtonblade]

"500k we won't pay that "

Reminds me of the United series where Bassett was trying to broker a deal for Glyn Hodges for 250k and Dooley said "sorry the board won't pay that"

Very good insight thanks for that ! Fucking Fleetwood and that cunt of an agent. Wilder surprisingly calm throughout !! What a fucking legend that man is.

Confirmation at last that ched is injured! I lost interest after that... ;-)

 

[Roygbiv]

Brilliant read. So close to Cole it seems and he will be gutted. Maybe we will be back in for him in Jan. Sinclair needs to get rid of his greedy bastard of an agent

Nah it has actual quotes rather than just pure supposition.

 

[HeCanDoMagic]

Great read. And just shows youvtgat it's wilder who pulls ALL the strings - "that's not how we do business" - too right gaffer.

 

[Sheffsteel]

You can bet the conversation at Fleetwood end would have been

'Lavery is out for a few weeks, Cheds out injured again, Hansons injured.
They are a club that hardly have any strikers they will be totally DESPERATE to buy Devante Cole
So let's test how desperate they by pushing the price up. There's a good chance we'll make a killing here"

But it looks as though it's all backfired on Fleetwood and Sinclairs/ Quinn's agent.

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

Does this mean those hammering the board now want Wilder out for not paying whatever was needed to get the job done?

 

[Sharp as a blade]

Usually an article so long would put me off after a few minutes, I'm a busy man!

But I couldn't take my eyes off that!

One question though, couldn't Sinclair text his agent to get the deal done? If he's sat in Sheffield train station ready to sign and his agent is messing both the player and club about.....

 

[Grappler]

I think all those on here who were shouting last night that we were not ambitious enough in not going after Devante Cole, for pace, should sit quietly and think about what they said. The deal was done. We did go after him, and the other lads.
