Good stuff. In fact, great stuff !

I particularly like the bit about studying how Man City players make runs for crosses at the near post. This team doesn't have many failings or flaws, but Jr and I have been saying to each other for a season or so that not running at the near post for crosses nearly enough is one of them !
 
Success is bound to attract attention but Wilder claims the phone has not been ringing with more glamorous and lucrative job offers. “And I don’t want it,” he says. “I am ambitious. I want to drive this club forward, to play at the highest level. That is my mindset and I want the players to have that.
What a manager we have.
 
Comments:

"While talking with some Wednesday fans about him, even a couple of those said they expect him to manage England one day. What he did for us at Northampton can not be overstated, we would have gone out of business if he'd not got Kelvin Thomas in, and in the turmoil he crafted the best Northampton Town side I've ever watched."

UTB!
:D
 
Thank you so much for sharing, I'd have missed this otherwise. I really can see Wilder emulating Eddie Howe and taking United up. We could easily have a side that survives with the core/spine of our current team and sticks 2 fingers up at the established 'model' of spending huge amounts in the hope of remaining in the division. You can't buy team spirit and I feel that what we have is worth points on it's own.
 
“I love the Bournemouth model,” he says. “They’ve got Harry Arter who’s played in the Conference, Simon Francis, Charlie Daniels and Marc Pugh who’ve played in League One: the heartbeat of their team that have gone on to establish themselves in the Premier League played for Eddie [Howe] all the way through.”

I’m glad that’s the model Wilder’s aiming for. I asked somewhat lightheartedly a couple of years ago who our equivalent to those players might be, who would grow with us on the journey. We got all sorts of suggestions – De Girolamo, Reed, even James Wallace. Plenty suggested Brayford. A handful mentioned Basham and Freeman.

None suggested Coutts or Sharp.

Best manager we’ve had in my lifetime. I was devastated as an eleven year old when Bassett left and Warnock provided so many great memories, but Wilder’s team have more style than Warnock’s and more heart than Bassett’s. I’ve never felt so connected to the lads on the pitch and never had so much confidence in the management and coaching staff.

When Danny Wilson came in, my dad was rather underwhelmed. I warned him not to judge too quickly as sometimes a manager, squad and club just click, maybe he’s the right fit. Wilder and Knill are absolutely the right fit AND they’re the management team that is really going places. They’re tearing up everything we thought we knew about modern football and delivering consistent, entertaining success. I’ve never been happier as a Blade.

Thanks for posting, it was worth navigating past the Guardian's pathetic begging message for that.

If there was more like this on their site and less 'As a disabled lesbian I find this offensive'-type drivel, it might actually be worth coughing a fiver a month for it.

I wouldn't really miss much if the Grauniad added a paywall ;)

A Labour man too. How much more perfect can he get?

Would this be the same Labour party that deliberately opened the borders of this country to mass uncontrolled immigration and Labour council's that shamelessly ignored and covered up the large scale rape and grooming of thousands of young girls by their most loyal voting block for decades?

Yeah mate. Absolute perfection.

But it would be so so boring (and bankrupt) if Britain was full of Labour loons.

All of our taxes being funded by the three millionaires who didn't leave for other tax havens.

No longer in Nato, no armed forces (just replaced by a peoples militia trained by Hamas), nuclear free, out of Europe, twinned with Venezuela and Robert Mugabe given honorary Chairmanship of the NHS.

Ahhh utopia.

There's another.
 
Many great managers were Socialists: Shankly, Fergie, Clough.That's why their football system worked and was respected by it's participants. Shankly: ‘The Socialism I believe in, is everybody working for the same goal and everybody having a share in the rewards. That’s how I see football, that’s how I see life.'” As for open borders, the Tories exacerbated the problem as it put downward pressure on wages and unions .They love mass immigration!The paedophile problem runs through the Tory party itself like a stick of rock. Where did those files go Mrs May?

Good on you Tufty, keep the red flag flying high.

Are u kidding me, theres been so many opportunities where we need to get the ball in the box more quickly and at height, again for every 8 or 9'passages of play it comes off, that's too few hence why we aren't killing teams off, we are fixated at scoring this way, look at the stats of goals just outside the box, we need to be shooting more often when we get sight of goal, we have fantastic passages of play but with no end product, the boys are fixated on crossing short across goal, which often leads to loosing possession, I'm not saying we shouldn't do this but every attack seems to flow towards it, and when we're chasing a game we need to mix it up as it's all too obvious, again why we haven't come from behind to draw or win. Don't get me wrong we have done amazingly, but we can be better and I'm sure wilder is on it.
