The Wilder Covenant

[KMC-1889]

It's a relegation worthy collection of players.

assembled by Wilder.

We’ve got a top ten wage budget. He’s assembled a relegation squad with it. That’s why he has to go.

 

[54yrblade]

We won't go down.

There's no denying we're shit but there'll be three teams shitter.

We said that in Div 3.
Assume nothing

Again, I'm not using the squad's abject lack of ability as a means to defend Wilder. I just genuinely don't understand those who are saying the squad is capable of much better. It's simply a collection of losers, has-beens and never wases.

 

[S64 Blade]

Apparently O’Hare is on 32k a week at Wrexham

Yeah he left for more money.

 

[HOT CURRIE 10]

What’s always puzzled me is the fact we didn’t bring Knill back when we reinstated Wilder. (Unless we did try and it was something I totally missed ). Knill was the brains and tactical know how in Wilders glory days with us, and doesnt it half show now. Infuriating today

I may be wrong but I’ve never seen Phil jones along side Wilder on the touch line discussing anything,keep your distance

 

[b1ade4life]

Just seen the press conference, he keeps saying we are finding our way, Chris you've signed experienced fucking internationals, they should not be finding their way, they should fit in and lead by example, they look like lost sheep due to the shit management as do the whole squad, I'm pretty sure they are baffled by the fucking archaic system you keep playing, I'm a wilder fan but I can't accept the bullshit, rose tinted glasses view you keep spouting, do everyone a favour, including yourself and go

 

[54yrblade]

He's just repetitive white noise now

 

[Sean Thornton]

He did come back but was let go in the summer.

The football was shite with him still here last season.

He cut a lonely figure on the line though.

He still has a lot of support. Those are the ones he’s speaking to. Because they’ll comfortably take it on board because of the glory days from seasons past. It’s like they miss their ex girlfriend who still around and will let them feel her tits when she needs beer money.

 

[FTPE]

People keep trotting this out but it misses a couple of key points.

• wilder assembled the bulk of this squad, so he can’t use ‘being shit’ as an excuse. We could have told him before signing them that most of them were past it.
• we’ve got a top ten wage budget, the fact that it’s been wasted is on wilder.

We could change managers and do what Norwich or Soton did last year. The only thing that’s certain is that wilder takes us down.

We've just sold his 3 best players, three.
One of them he pleaded to be given some notice with and we sold him with hours left of the window and wity no funds to replace him.
I could take Man City's 3 best players away and they'd be mediocre.
We spent our entire pre season playing with 10, and now we have to find a new formation with the players the Americans didn't cash in on.

He must be getting a cut of their wages.....he's like "Go" on a monopoly board, gets money each time they play a game

 

[Snowflake]

January won't make a difference the owner wants frees and loans and sell the odds player. Why would te owners buy they have sat on the fence for the last 2 windows

Because they have additional finance ?

As long as they remember, to him were just "punters"

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

You know who you are...

Look at yourselves, look how you are acting. Trying to reclaim lightning in a bottle that we once had, thinking it will all turn around based on nothing but delusion and former glories.

Do you believe everything he says? Are you not in the slightest bit concerned about the results of what's on the pitch day in day out?

He says nothing but bullshit, it'll be another great interview post match today and the performance will be back to normal after the intl break. He says all the right things to get impressionable people back onside, then nothing on the pitch changes.

You look and sound completely stupid. Just like the pigs. The sad thing is you can't see it.

Admit it, he's done. Who he once was is gone.

He's also said they are championship footballers and they don't need coaching.

Should the Manager be dismissed or resign, is the next Manager already at the club?

Jones, Phillip.

 

[Nedski]

Everyone can see it but Wilder. Fleetwood fans FFS.

 

[Barney]

With great respect to what he's achieved with the club, I'm using a rare S2 post to pile my support behind the idea of moving on from the Wilder era.

Wow. Barney

 

[iBlade.]

Jones, Phillip.

Jones a a possibility at some point in the future, Phillips probably hoping he still has a playing career to resume and does he even have any coaching badges anyway?

Thoughts on Chong while you're here

 

[Greenblades]

If a new manager comes in now he has to work with the same ridiculous squad and he'll probably be cooked by January before he can even sign his own players

We will get the results to stay out of trouble with Wilder, by hook or crook

The fans are simply going to have to stick it out and accept it's a very dour season

Summer is the time to make the change

I don’t think the squad is as bad as everyone says. It’s not great I give you but good grief the set up each week is dire. No creativity from a manager who simply refuses to try and win games. I don’t think we are anywhere near the top but we should be doing miles better and have an idea. Every week a mess of a line up that nobody understands. Summer is way too late for me. New manager now and allow the mess to unfold and a new strategy to build. Fingers crossed.

I can sort of give you this until he also agreed a new deal for Campbell. Now look at him. Exactly what he did at Stoke.

 

[Thrice]

This squad might not be very good, but a good manager makes them function as a unit through tactics and systems and patterns of play. This team doesn't look like a functioning unit at all right now and that is on the manager unless you believe that all these players are just blatantly ignoring his instructions.

Sorry, I don't take that excuse at all. Yes Brooks Hamer and O'Hare are a significant loss to the team but they also show that Wilder was relying on a piece of individual brilliance to get wins.

For the two previous seasons there have been plenty poor performances and a lack of a clear style of play. Changing Wilder is a risk that could backfire and while he has had a lack of support from above he also has recruited poorly and shown to be weak tactically and in game management. His interviews reveal his mentality to be similar to when he left first time.Stressed and emotional.

Fractures are appearing in the squad. The Campbell situatiion is bizzare. Cannon always in favour, McGuinness out of favour but Choudhury in favour and of course the sparing use of Donovan.

We haven't addressed any of the weaknesses of last season. Which falls on the manager and coaches. I think Wilder is done as a manager. We have enough in the squad that any perceptive manager could define how we play in a cohesive fashion and make our team competitive.

 

[Barney]

Thoughts on Chong while you're here

Not quite as good as I thought.

 

[Back post bob]

Seven of today's starting line up Wilder fetched to the club three came from the academy only Tananga was purchased by someone else.
Just look at the names in the line who do you think can score goals.
Who can create goals.

 

[FredZeppelin]

I simply can't believe there are any Blades out there that still listen to Wilder, let alone contemplate believing anything he says any more.

He's lied to us for the last two years. "I know my players, I know my best line up, I know who should now be starting, etc, ect, ect". He's turned into a complete bullshit artist who is prepared to say anything, blame anything or anyone, or use anything as an excuse for his own mis-management, diobolical recruitment, and hopeless tactics. He continually implies that we didn't really see what we saw and denigrates any supporters who doubt or criticise him in any way.

He's become nothing more that a bully who knows he's in a position of great power thanks to the extreme incompetence of the useless owners and tonight I can see a lot of the fanbase in the same mindset as i was in mid way through last season. Season ticket sales are down and will continue to fall unless he leaves. It's time and most can now see it. Any kind of fresh perspective has to be better than this shit. We have nothing positive left to believe in any more. Many blades don't even want to watch the team on TV for free any more FFS!

Please, just go.
