Give Chris a call

[SwissBlade]

Wilder is part of the problem, he blew £10m on Cannon and bottled Wembley

No chance Cooper takes the job so Sean Dyche for me.

How did he pay for Cannon?

 

[PrestwichBlade]

With wilder you get passion, pride, grit, identity, unity on the pitch. Let's not forget what the Blades are all about and get above our station. The problem is that these new owners don't seem to understand the club or the heritage and what it took to get this club who were skint only a few seasons ago up to 92 points. Wilder did this. Swallow pride, get him back if he will come or go for Dyche.

Jesus bloody wept, know our place eh?

Jesus bloody wept, know our place eh?

Exactly what has gone wrong with a big chunk of our fanbase. Let’s be plucky underdogs forever.

 

[Wards]

Jesus bloody wept, know our place eh?

Makes me wonder why I bother when this is the attitude of large sections of our support.

They're happiest being serial losers and runners up so they've something to moan about.

Sorry PrestwichBlade this looks like I've aimed this at you with the way I've quoted it, but it was in reference to the post you quoted

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

He ain't coming back. We might not keep Selles but it won't be Wilder who replaces him.

We really need to get over Wilder. So many better managers out there that can take the club forward.

 

[HillStreet Blade]

To play devils advocate he also rebuilt a completely confidence shattered squad into promotion front runners with very little money into a side that 9 times out of 10 would have been promoted. Granted, the football could have been better but every fan would swap those results and performances for what we’ve just witnessed in the last 4 games

Wilder tried to sign Cannon the previous summer.. Cannon was 100% a Wilder pick

No he wasn't. Bettis said when he was signed that he wasn't on the January priority list but the board signed him.

No need to apologise, I understood what you were saying

 

[Brownieblade]

Wouldn’t it be easier to just contact Man City for pep number rather than bothering Chris for it

We haven’t achieved top tier stable football for over 30 years

It’s time to move on and try and find a way to achieve that rather than relying on the usual way

 

[Bladedog]

Oh dear.

Are there really no other choices?

To some people...absolutely not .

 

[T-Blade]

There, I’ve put it out there.

It was a mistake getting above our station and thinking that 92 points somehow deserved a sacking.

If they are capable of swallowing their pride they will admit they made an almighty clanger.

For those wanting a change, well, you’ve seen what change looks like.

Rock bottom and promotion chances fading rapidly by the matchday.

Let’s appoint someone who actually knows how to win football matches. Either Chris or Dyche.

The longer we retain this, the fewer good mangers will fancy it.

He’s never coming back and I never want him back either. Selles clearly isn’t working though so we’re gonna have to make a change sooner rather than later.

 

[SUFCinks]

We deserve to be an average nothing club with such a complacent stupid fanbase. Wilder for a third time, jesus fucking christ. Selles has only had 4 games ! I agree it’s not been good so far but it’s way too early to be calling for change.

I can’t believe how many morons support this club. So many people are wilder first and the club second. Embarrassing.

 

[Dkc]

Realistically, who do you have in mind? We really need someone who we could afford, is proven at this level and would jump at the chance to come.

 

[SouthStandGBlock]

I'm not sure Selles is the right man for the job, but I don't want Mardyarse Wilder back.

Can we get a manager who can get us results without boring the arse off us?

 

[Dkc]

It's the results and performances that are the problem. If we were top of the league no one would be talking about changing manager.

But presuming we sack Selles, who's going to come in and stabalise the club?

 

[247Blade]

There can be an opinion we were right to move on from Wilder but appointed the wrong manager to replace him. Seems to be one not many have. It seems its either Wilder or nothing else.

Nothing it is then!

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

I don’t think there’s anyone who would jump at the chance to come because they’re not a fan of the club like Wilder did in 2023/24 when he returned.

I think Cooper would tick most of those boxes though. Proven that he turned forest around, we could afford him as his stock isn’t high enough for premiership clubs due to recent sackings.

Jump at the chance - I think he would, no one can do any worse than Selles and you’ve got a good championship squad (by the end of the window) that should be doing better.

Whoever comes in next could make a name for themselves. Coopers next job is highly likely to be a championship club

 

[Dkc]

Yes, we need a manager who wins most of his games playing fast, flowing attractive football. We should accept nothing less.

100% well said sire

100% CORRECT

I might be wrong, but I’m reading between a few lines based on your posting history. You seem to be insinuating that Wilder is the only person that could manage the club. If that was the case it effectively means that the club is an irredeemable basket case.

Not sure if I’m a “moron” under your definition as I’m club first. Problem is the best manager I can think of to sort this wreck and get us back on track is Wilder. I’ll just assume I’m a moron I your world - probably safest.

Cooper wouldn't come. Neither would Dyche. Even if they did we wouldn't meet their wage demands. These are the only two names that I've heard mentioned, but I don't see them as realistic.

If Leeds sack Farke I'd see him as an option, but again wages will be an issue. We've given Selles a three year contract so getting rid of him won't be cheap. We're probably still paying Wilder too.

Actually if it comes down to money Wilder will probably be among the cheapest options. Not that COH will want him back.

 

[HarryHaslam]

Russell Martin will be available soon. Can we have an automatic ban for anyone saying he would be a good appointment for us. Thanks.

I certainly don't think that. No sensible person would think that only one person is qualified to manage a football club.

I do think that if we'd kept Wilder the start wouldn't have been so disastrous.

Why wouldn’t Cooper’s come but Farke would.

It’s alright saying Cooper isn’t realistic but why? Are premiership clubs likely to be after him? No.

His next job will be in the championship like Lampards was, he had success at Derby & then a stint at Chelsea.

If we can afford to spend £10m on a centre half & a load of money on Godfrey’s wages we can afford Cooper.

The one thing I see your point on is if they were daft enough to not have an exit clause with Selles after the Wilder new deal then sacking.

Unfortunately I think we’ll give him a few more games & hope that new players make the difference but it won’t, tactically we’re all over the place.

 

[coolasanidiot]

I’ll admit I didn’t want Chris to go. I’ll admit I’d have him back. I realise it’s probably not going to happen.

But the clique on here that seem to take a pride in disassociating from him. Can you tell me just one thing that Selles has done so far that gives you even a glimmer of hope?

So far I see…

No pattern
No progressive press
Players disinterested
Players out of position (Cannon WTF)
Lack of fight
Tactically we look a mess

I’m sort of thinking with Chris he had targets in his mind and the team at this stage would have been a whole lot tighter?

Whatever you say these changes so far couldn’t really have been worse we are literally rock bottom below Wednesday it’s mind blowing.

 

[Tom Bott]

When managers become bigger than clubs there’s problems for everyone.

Can't recall anyone saying that when he got us promoted from League 1.

Can't recall anyone saying that when he got us promoted from the Championship.

Can't recall anyone saying that when he got us to 9th in the PL.

 

[Nick Jansky]

I certainly don't think that. No sensible person would think that only one person is qualified to manage a football club.

I don’t disagree, but we’d have probably been postponing something similar to what we have now, as I’ve said elsewhere. Anyway, he’s gone so it’s irrelevant anyway. I suppose the real question is whether the club needed to change. I think it did. The execution of that change is another matter though. Although change is always difficult without short term pain.

That is putting it mildly!

The football is lethargically, non-descript, non-organised, non-systemised garbage.
