He spent more than what he earned? So we are a poorer club today than when he first took over? News to me.

Many of the assets that Ferguson, Mourinho and Guardiola signed were over priced, over paid and did not reach their potential. It happens.

That our owner used a significant amount of the club's money to buy out McCabe is hardly brought up, but the manager making some bad signings and taking an agreed payout is seen as an unconscionable sin for which he deserves to be flogged.

He spent the clubs money well the vast majority of the time, resulting in our rapid rise. Then he spent some poorly. Why do people react to this like he's shagged their partner?

I thought the assets/property were purchased via a mortgage and the club didn’t buy McCabes shares HRH did. The money went on players who Wilder couldn’t get the best out of at the time. It happens, but let’s not rewrite history as to where the money went.
 



There’s some seriously bitter people on this site.
Wilder gave us some of the best ever times supporting the blades, and left us in a way better place than he found us.
He deserves credit and some gratitude for that, and will get it from me.
After that, I hope we stuff Boro, on our march to promotion.Simple as.
As for all the haters, get over yourselves.

Apologies, will defer to you on this.

Is it that the mortgage is against the club rather than HRH? I wouldn't try to infer that Wilder wasn't backed by the board because he certainly was. Just that it isn't only him that has used the clubs money in questionable ways.
 
This is going to be like a bloke bringing his new girlfriend to his ex-wife’s birthday party, in their old family home...Awkward.

No need to apologise. There’s that much disinformation around that it’s an easy mistake to make.

Yes, the mortgage is against the club.

I wouldn’t say Wilders spending was questionable - not quite sure of your meaning tbh - but who do you believe has?
 
"As for all the haters, get over yourselves"
There are some supporters whose antipathy towards CW is over the top. He did give us a wonderful few years of exciting and winning football. However, I feel frustrated that he was unable to build on that success. He was at least party to some of the very poor transfer dealings that blighted his last year. His huge payoff was indicative of the ludicrous sums football throws at players and coaches. All that said, I shall enthusiastically applaud him tonight.

Questionable was a poor choice of word, maybe just poorly from a fans perspective.

I've always felt that it was dodgy that HRH took a mortgage out against the club to pay for ownership of it. I get there was also context around that, with him needing to buy McCabe out fully after the court case but not having the funds.

When we eventually get to know the truth behind his departure I will make up my own mind. If there is summat not right behind the scenes then the fans deserve to know. As it stands, Wilder, a Blade, signed an NDA and allegedly got a pay off. Not that he needed the money. That bit sticks in my throat a bit.
Anyway, he is now like the ex wife to me, someone I used to love and have good times with, turned into somebody I can no longer stand the sight of.

NDAs are not enforcable if the other side gives their side of the issue

the prince gave his view on what happend and wilder could have countered ( or took legal action if what was said was false) he didnt which leaves me to believe The Princes side on that issue

Garyoke and his little motivational songs is one of the things that I'd miss if we didn't have it but it really pisses me off when he does it. He knows how to flog a dead horse that lad.

oh ahh just waiting for him to release a shit cover version like he did with Tom Hark
 
Discussions have focused so far on how US as fans should react to Chris, which is understandable.

But tonight is also an opportunity for Chris to acknowledge us. His approach / demeanour could set the tone if, for example, it he claps all the fans in the ground before kickoff / and at full-time.

It’s a chance for all of us to lay a few demons to rest and move on as best we can. I also agree that Hecky should also get a wonderful reception, regardless of the result, because he stuck things out through thick and thin.
 
The club staff should 100% be asking him to produce 8 forms of identification to get in the ground. Refuse entry for as long as possible. Then 3 COVID tests. Then a strip search after a nearby dog is thought to sniff in his direction.

Get someone from the office to say "haven't I seen you on X-Factor or something?".

Respect -100%

I'd be happy to give him a good sing song after the match. Unless he's been celebrating a Middlesbrough success... Then he has to wait until he brings a losing side to the Lane.

I say this as someone who's early COVID concerns were for Wilder and Knill's health, as much as my own family's health...

Oh also we should be chanting "Matty Prestridge and Alan Knill", for good chunks of the match. As part of the wind up.

Just so long as he doesn't do a lap of honour, or a lap of honour bare chested or worse still a lap of honour bare chested riding a white pony....
 
A mate of mine who sells antique paperweights to some of the Boro lot says Wilder is going to commit ritual suicide on the pitch if Boro lose tomorrow.

Absolutely not. Some people need to let go.

If he comes out and waves to the 4 stands, or If Gary Sinclair mentions him with the team sheet, I'll applaud him. I won't sing to him or anything of the sort.

Actually, if we by chance go 3-0 up, I may chant "Wilder, what's the score?"

🤣
 
If he wears that coat again ( like other night against Spurs) I 'll have a whip round for him for another. That one looks like one I took to a charity shop on Abbeydale Rd 3 years ago..
 
It’s quite ironic that the bloke who re-united our club 5 years ago, may now be the subject of a few fisticuffs tonight. :)

I don’t feel the need to applaud him tonight. I stood outside the town hall after he had lead us to the div one title, and cheered him to the rafters. I did the same again 2 years later when he took us to the prem. I have stood and applauded him after those wonderful victories in the premier league, right up to the Norwich victory before covid.
After that it was pretty shit anyway, so no clappy clappy needed.
 
Had a dream last night that Wilder, in the last minute, subs their keeper without, replacing him with anyone, Billy then scores the winner,into an open goal, and Wilder throws off his dodgy coat, to reveal his Blades away shirt, circa 1990, runs to Billy,and celebrates arm in arm with him, in front of the kop.
You read it here first.
 
Wilder gave me and my family some of my best moments in half a century as a Blade and I'll be forever grateful for that. Citing one-sided rumours about the nature of his departure as a reason not to thank him is completely beyond me. I'm thankful of the opportunity to show my appreciation for four unbelievable years, the likes of which may not be repeated in my lifetime. I really hope Gary Sinclair hasn't been censored from doing the right thing but if Steve Cowens' book launch was an indicator, I'm pretty sure Blades fans will make themselves heard either way.

With Old Garyoke every match is a minutes applause/silence for somebody or something. Beginning to get slightly annoying. Signed: A Moaning Old Git.

I agree that in hindsight, he wasted some of the clubs money. Everyone does. Isn't hindsight an amazing thing.

He didn't "spunk all the money". Ramsdale was a good signing. Bogle was a good signing. Henderson was a good signing. Osborn was a good signing. Arguably, Mousett and Mcburnie's performances in our first season justified their signings. I know Bladespod gave those signings fairly high ratings at the end of that season.

I don't particularly understand the back door stuff.

Ramsdale was a disaster until the January.
 
CPB said:
He absolutely should get a good reception before the game, still amazes me all these people saying he left via the "backdoor".
He fell out with the owner and couldn't see a way forward with him, that's why he left.

So before absolutely and then that's it.
Afterwards is fine too I guess but we have to focus on us in those 90 mins!

I we beat em...I’ll applaud anybody and everybody.
 
Simple for me, round of applause for what he did for us (which was a lot but most importantly giving us back our pride in our club) then hes the enemy for the rest of the night.

Still dont understand why he got a pay off , he was desperate to leave the BLADES .

Why did Slav get a pay off ?

Wilder earned at least £ 250 million for the club, whilst in charge, how many other Blades managers have achieved anything similar ?

In a different profession how much would someone have been rewarded for such profit ?
