Shortly after the turn of the year we seemed to drop our usual style of play and were showing signs of struggling a little. Wilder's persona seemed to change with it although we were still picking up a few points. Not for a econd am I blaming Berge but his arrival coincided with things starting to change.
True.
I think the rot began with the scousers 2-0 January spanking - the team could not cope with it, Wilder chose to say they were much better and some of our top players games dipped since then - (Stevens, Fleck &Norwood). Wilder then reinforces with the invisible Retsos, Zivkovic when PL experience was needed. But he wont pay the wages for PL experience and so our boys pay the price.
Yep. I find most of those belligerently arguing with any whisper of dissent, do so with a romanticised version of Wilder in mind. The swashbuckling, attack-minded, progressive manager seriously going places. It could be argued he hasn’t been seen consistently for about 18 months. I think we’re all hoping he makes a dramatic return, I’m just not sure he will. Listening to his interviews the approach and attitude has clearly shifted 180. Pass, move, pressure wave, and swam has been replaced with dig in, lump it and hope.
100%. Finishing 9th was glorious, gold-leaf wallpaper hiding some developing cracks. We had clearly started to change our style and approach.
New contract please, give us all some stability.
*but there isn’t the wage budget for PL experience
You can't give him a new contract based on being bottom of the league and having not won a game in 19 games.
Of course we can. We want him to bring us back up and believe he’s building a squad capable of doing just that. He’s getting relegated because he’s being asked to compete with teams all of whom blow us out the water with wages yet we’re expected to have a better squad. We’re building the background infrastructure to compete and it’s improving year on year since he joined.
totally agree with you bob and for what its worth i think chris will get us back up next season as well at this time we just cant compete financially at this level and although chris has made mistakes with recruitment the players he brought in were often 2nd or 3rd choices most of the players he wanted to bring in would have kept us up imo if we had the finances for fees and salaries
There’s little doubt mistakes have been made or things haven’t played out quite as expected however whoever has made those mistakes deserves the opportunity to rectify them. No matter the missteps were in a good place so why would you throw the baby out with the bath water? Regardless of the league position we’re in a great place as a club compared and we’ll take stock, rebuild and go again.
He’s the 10th best paid premier league manager. So what do you do? You give him a pay rise, or a longer deal? Neither of those are required right now, he's going to be by far the highest paid Championship manager and he has long enough on his current deal to get us back up and prove his worth again on these new terms (like he has done in the past)
Well, I'd be interested in what some of the Championship managers like Farke is on given their wage bill is larger than ours, even now and Rooney's deal would be interesting. Where's are you getting 10th best paid in the PL from? I'd be interested in that link.
10th best paid manager in the prem ,are you sure about that ?
Scott Parker’s! For Fuck’s Sake!!!!!
Hmm, does Wilder deserve to be on the same or better wages than Billic? That's a tough one.
Gets paid more than Moyes, that's ridiculous.
Yep, that article looks 100% accurate and unquestionable.
That's the weirdest thing I've ever heard.
