Ruben Selles!

[Tom Bott]

I'm in two minds as to which has been the most insane thing to happen in Sheffield football this season.
Us appointing " he talks a good talk" (Wilder does not?) Selles.
Or James Bord bidding £48 million for the Pork.

The main issue with Wilder is that his intelligence is not not artificial.

 

[Silky Sabella]

Your hate for Wilder clouds your judgement.

You are totally correct!

 

[North Riding Blade]

Good for Selles, he’s no doubt walking away with another pay off in his sky-rocket, and succeeded in duping two football clubs in the same season…He obviously interviews well.

Wounder if he could do a job at S6?

 

[MKY]

Should be no where near football. Unless programme seller or in catering

He’d probably make a bollocks of that as well.

Some of us were saying last summer that it was inexplicable that a team that just missed out on the PL appointed a manager whose best career achievements were avoiding relegation from the 2nd tier on GD and taking another team to mid table in the 3rd tier

We were told that there was seriously mitigating factors. Hull had a crazy chairman, Reading were in a mess etc etc. Well it turns out that if a manager has a mediocre record, its probably because he's a mediocre manager.

how did he take that skint reading team to near the playoffs

4 wins 6 draws & 13 defeats for selles in the league this season with United & Zaragoza

1 win in the final 13 games
no win in final 7
averaging 36pts a season

Football is a sport for Humans not Robots or AI.

Yeah, that's right - let's not learn anything from the last year! Here's a thought - be careful what you wish for (Selles). I know some people hate Wilder, but please get a grip, we are a Championship side with a very strong Championship manager. Hate him fine. Sack him. End up with Selles or similar - really. I don't want to sack a manager every 6 months - solid backing with appropriate in-club challenge is what we need, not fans spouting to try and get good managers sacked. Can't you focus on your own team Mr / Mrs / Miss / Ms / Master Sabella.

I’m shocked that he has 4 wins and 6 draws to his credit during that period , since in his mercifully short period with us he managed to achieve none of either .

I am focused totally on my team, Sheffield United, who I have supported for 58 years. How long have you been going to Bramall Lane?
As most managers will tell you, fans have every right to voice their opinion, whether it is good, bad or indifferent. No, I don't want another manager for the sake of it, but next year when wilders contact is up, I want a new manager who is far more likeable than wilder.
Remember after Wembley, the huge ANTI WILDER backlash on social media, which wilder acknowledged..

Social media backlash. Really relevant stuff that

The first 75% of the post is though, which is the context of the reply

 

[S74Blade]

We'll never know, but if Wilder and Knill had been given all summer to bring in their targets and coach their system we'd definitely have started a lot stronger.

I don’t think there is much doubt that we would be top 6 or better.

I’ve only been going for 52 years so I guess I should just doc my hat? Not sure why that matters?

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Two games since they sacked him.

Won both.

I have supported the Blades since 1966; you have a short memory. Chris Wilder is a legend. You should have more respect. You have a dig at him, win, lose or draw.
Have got a coaching Badge, managed over a thousand games, nd he has been a great player for us when Dave Bassett was manager.
Have you got the knowledge he has? I do dont think so. I bet you dont go to Bramall Lane. I am fed up with reading your quotes on the forum.
You talk a load of rubbish. Change the record and support, Sheffield United. A lot of people think you are a Wendyite. Go and watch them.

 

[Blacksea]

3 wins out of 4 games under new manager Navarro.

Is that on Football Manager ?

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Starting to think Selles isn't a good manger you know

Today they beat top of their league too!

Funny how his replacement there is the same as his replacement here,a returning ex manager of the club

 

[DifferentClass]

Selles to Spuds.

Yeah and ruined the potentially very lucrative Yankee bet I had in the process.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

They have lost some of that new manager bounce momentum now but still showing some fight

 

[Good Pinch Of Snuff]

Oh dear Poor Larnaca

 

[dexter101]

Oh dear Poor Larnaca

Might be a good loan move for Ukaki that...

 

[DifferentClass]

Oh dear Poor Larnaca

How the fuck does he still get work?!

It's crazy and albeit this in Cyprus this is the 1st division and previous managers of this club have led AEK Larnaca to the European Conference League after exiting the Europa League and getting into the last 16, they lost to West Ham the year they won it. I follow Cypriot football fairly closely although my place of birth is in the United Kingdom as it was at RAF Akrotiri and there is a club that plays in the Cypriot 2nd division that is based in the Western Sovereign Base Area called Apea Akrotiri, they are the only club that are based in the Western Sovereign Base Area but play their football in the Cypriot leagues. Not sure how Selles has managed to end up at AEK Larnaca but a nice cushy number in the sun, similar to how random a move for Wes Foderingham to go to Aris Limassol was, no other reason than a pay cheque in the sun, probably bought a villa from his West Ham 3rd choice keeper days.

Check out APEA's social media if you get a chance, their Facebook and Instagram. I'm volunteering to run these to help the club out. Lovely bunch of people at the club at the moment and things look bright for a genuine promotion push.

I follow the Facebook page, I have been to the community stadium a couple of times to watch them play a few years ago but they are a fantastic club.

Still don't know how I failed to notice the vintage blades shirt you are wearing when posting in the fans group! I think I might have to buy some merch!
