Those with "advice" for Chris.

[JackSUFC]

Genuine question.
I know you like to give your views on the current situation, on here, but if asked, would you share that advice face to face with Chris if given the opportunity?

No I’d absolutely shit myself and then congratulate him on the fine job him and the team are doing this season.

Is that what you want people to say?

 

[Delboyscap]

I would. At the end of the day football is built on opinion and always has been, historically in pubs and now mostly online. Probably easier for me as my advice would only be 'reach out to someone you trust mate, whose opinion and knowledge you value to get a different perspective'.

 

[knowsnowt]

Is that what you want people to say?

No.
If there was something I'd want someone to say it would be - "Here. Have this large amount of cash".

100%! and not just saying it either... right now I wanna grab his by his puffer jacket and violently shake him while shouting "WAKE UP!"

 

[Drunk blade]

Why not? Do you think he'd want to fight?

I'd say hi Chris, then get a quick couple of punches in while he wasn't expecting it, get him in a headlock and then ask him politely why he bought Max Lowe and Bogle

 

[JackSUFC]

No.

That’s understandable Chris.

If you see a bad film do you seek out the cast to tell them where they went wrong?

We're fans of Sheffield United and we're allowed to have opinions without " would you say it to his face" or "could you do any better" as some others have asked.

 

[coolasanidiot]

I'd say I love you for everything you've done at the club, and I want you 110% at the club next year - but c'mon McBurnie he's not helping you at all- lets just get shut and forget him forever..

 

[Snake]

As others have implied, I would turn the question around and think how I'd feel if Chris Wilder came up to me and started giving me advice about how to do my job.

If Chris Wilder jumped on a long haul flight over to the Atacama Desert in Northern Chile and interrupted me as I coming to the final conclusions of my study about the stars moving around the supermassive black hole at the centre of the Milky Way, I'd say ....................... Oy Wilder, noooooooooooooooooooo! How dare you come over here in your Blades tracksuit with super padded belly telling me about gamma-ray bursts and gravitational redshift, when the Blades are on our arse with 1 point from 11 games. I suggest you keep your GCSE Physics hypotheses to yourself old chum and concentrate your time and efforts on summat you might have got a clue about - ie football. Now fuck off and get them fuckers psyched up to get summat against Man U tomorrow.

He'd call you an idiot and rightfully so

 

[Snowflake]

This is actually a good question.
there are certain things (formation being the big one) that I think he is getting wrong. But I have zero experience of football management and have no idea what’s really going on in the club.

If CW came in to my place of work and started to tell me all the things he thinks I’m doing wrong I would ask him for his experience/qualification in my field and then politely tell him to mind his own.

Therefore no I wouldn’t say anything.

Sometimes it takes someone outside your field to question what you are doing. They may be wrong but it might make you rethink.
We all have some idea of how to play football ( some more than others!) so a discussion with him would be interesting as long as we have a constructive discussion and don’t tell him he is wrong on all fronts.

If Gordon Ramsey was cooking for me in a restaurant and he suddenly started serving dog-turds I would tell him not to and say how I would improve cooking.

You don't need to be a 5* Chef to say that a meal is awful, or a football manager to say that the way the team is being currently managed is awful

The way I see it that I don’t operate in that field at all. I watch football that’s it. Means nothing. I used to pretend to be a plane when I was a kid. Doesn’t mean I became one.
I’m sure he has people around him all giving their advice about it all.
I would ask for his rationale and plan etc but that would be it.
If CW offered me advice about my job with the job I do I guarantee he would be wrong. And I wouldn’t be legally allowed to listen to him.

That’s quite an extreme analogy as cooking is subjective taste wise.

Most believe CW is missing something. But I’m not qualified to tell him what that is. Opinions are like arseholes. Everyone has one.

I don't think there is anything subjective about the taste of dog-turds?!

I'm not qualified to tell him the mistakes are made, though by the same standards you are not qualified to tell Gordon Ramsey that serving dog-turds as part of a meal is a mistake either.

that’s why I said your analogy was extreme as Gordon Ramsay would not serve a turd.

 

[Bookers Mullet]

I think a big part of the problem is Chris may not be able to talk to people, I've no particular insight into his life but he did seem to enjoy the pub, so perhaps not being able to go there and let off steam and have some banter with his mates is contributing to his attitude.

Heaven knows it's certainly not helping mine!

 

[FMBlade1]

Fairs, it is extreme but I think you see my point.

Just because we aren't qualified football managers doesn't mean that we don't have insight, and likewise being a qualified football manager doesn't mean you can't serve a turd.

Nigel Adkins selecting Dean Hammond is an example of that.

 

[Jan Age]

Managers and players come and go Fans last a lifetime. I have more right to a say than any of the players, directors, coaching staff or manager.

this is our club that we actually pay to watch and if asked would play for free.

so yes I would give my thoughts no problem and without expectation of recrimination.

I see your point to the extent that I can give my opinion as I can with anything. But I cannot give a informed opinion. It’s an important distinction.

 

[west_yorks_blade]

Genuine question.

I'd tell him to listen to the inspired and knowledgable advice on tactics, team selection, substitutions, purchases and sales from the wise owls on s24su.

 

[FMBlade1]

So you could not give an informed opinion about Dean Hammond's performances for us?

 

[N.E.Blade]

But I would

So you could not give an informed opinion about Dean Hammond's performances for us?

I’m saying I cannot give an informed opinion about what is really happening at SU and CW tactical plans.

 

[dc_blade]

If wonder if, before he was manager of Sheffield United, when he was just a humble fan like the rest of us, Chris and his mates had opinions about the way the team was playing and how it might be improved. I wonder if they ever chatted about those views amongst themselves. Probably not, eh?

 

[raimond]

There's a bloody hell of a lot of assumptions being chucked around about how stubborn etc Wilder is and around his 'negativity' and 'decision making'.

Alot of it's fuckall to do with tactics isn't it? He's not planning on his formerly best players under performing and hiding in games. He's not planning on a lack of tempo because nobody's making brave decisions on the field anymore because their confidence is shot and they're scared to make a mistake.

He's battling with a side with no confidence and no balance, with injuries and nearly all our key players off form. If he was faultless we wouldn't have 1 bleedin point after 12 games!! But all the 'negative tactics' stuff is over simplified bollocks.

 

[raimond]

Hi, Stego here

I was rhyming with a speech impediment

It doesn't rhyme with that either.

 

[8lade]

If CW came in to my place of work and started to tell me all the things he thinks I’m doing wrong I would ask him for his experience/qualification in my field and then politely tell him to mind his own.

I'd expect short shrift if I did, if someone came along and told me how to do my job I'd tell them to bollocks so I'm hoping he'd do the same.

My question has probably been covered by other people's questions already but I saw these responses and my immediate thought was, "you'd consider what those people telling you how to do your job were saying though". If it took a moment or an hour to think about what they had said you'd still do it before making a decision.

 

[SteveBlade]

Absolutely not.

Everyone knows that you can't have an opinion on anything unless you're an expert in that particular field. If you're not an expert at anything, then there's no reason to ever speak to anyone again about anything ever. You're worthless.

Hang on - are you an expert on the topic of expertise?

If not - shut your face!

I would absolutely consider what they were saying if those people had either a medical/nursing degree or other healthcare professional degrees.
otherwise no.
