Just get rid

[Yewsman]

Yes we were there for 6 years. But your statement implies that Wilder was the literal only possible manager who could have won promotion from L1, which is simply not the case.

Let's not forget that without Ched Evans being a colossally stupid twat one night, Danny Wilson would have almost certainly got us out of L1 at the first time of asking. We were unbeaten in 9 games ahead of the MK Dons match, and Evans had scored 12 goals in that time. Then we lost him due to non-footballing matters that Wilson had no control over, and we picked up 2 points from our last 3 games, and missed out on promotion by 3 points. There's certainly an argument to make that Wilson could have set the team up to be less reliant on Ched than it was, but it's hard to be anything but sympathetic (in my opinion) to Wilson's predicament of having the key component of his tactical setup be taken away from him at the absolute worst moment in the season.

Agree Wilson was unlucky with the ched situation but after him we had Morgs, David Weir, Nigel Clough, Adkins, and finally Wilder in 2016 -17 that's 6 managers from season 2011/12 before we got out of L1 in 2017. You can't guarantee that you will find the right man for the job. That's my point.

Just because Leicester’s gone down in unexpected circumstances doesn’t mean we should be wanking off our manager that has seen us lose twice to Charlton and wrexham.

It absolutely shouldn't be forgotten just how bad we were at start of this season.

We didn't start to really turn it around until Wednesday away. We looked bad even after Wilder came back and we got a few wins and draw.

That was size the task.
Could we have done even better? Sure. Consistency has held us back though.

Don't believe everything you read on Wikipedia. There is also absolutely no point looking at anything other than league results because Wilder's team selections for the cups show his distain for them.

Wilder v3 has the second highest win ratio at 44.7%. Wilder v1 was higher at 46.1% despite the car crash of post-lockdown results which dropped it from 52.4%; Wilder v2 was lower at 42.9%.

This version of Wilder is losing more games though (39.5% vs 38.5% for v2 and 32.4% for v1).

An update on this, for what it's worth. Wilder v3 now has the worst win rate (42.5%) and highest defeat rate (42.5%) of the three tenures. The latter is worse than it appears as the other two stints included dreadful PL seasons.

Wonderful logic there…

I'm not going to join the debate on whether he stays or goes.

However you are 100% right CPB we were in the shit. Before the Wednesday game I really thought we would go down.
