Five Potential Replacements

[VictoryBlade]

One last job Sharon ...

Love it! lol

 

[VictoryBlade]

With the money we’ve spunked on Rothwell, Diaz Hamza, Ayew, Doherty, Philips…..

And could have got some young athletic players from Div 1 in!

 

[Bladesthorpe]

He had Hamer and O'Hare at the start of the season and we were as shit with them as we have been without them, which says it all really.

Get to specsavers, those two are miles better than what we're watching now.
Plus they helped teamates look better, Bamford being one

 

[Houston_Blade]

Same uninspiring names every time we think about a new manager, I’d rather stick with Wilder!

 

[Borbokisfreekick]

What short memories people have. We can get a lot, lot worse.

Unless we are deep in relegation trouble early next year, Wilder's here for this season at least. Our famously skint owners aren't going to pay off Wilder and his backroom staff to roll the dice again. And they would have to dig deeper to meet the salary needs of any in-demand manager. Frank and Howe aren't coming to S2 anytime soon.

Fans calling for our manager to be sacked in September can't be doing much for team morale.

I meant we can’t get much worse performance/playing style wise.

What we’re seeing right now is just marginally better than with Selles (with probably a deeper squad and better back line), what we’re seeing right now is as bad as Speed just prior to Adams coming in - again with a much better squad. What we’re seeing now is as bad as any Warnock teams performances - again with better players.

This is as bad as performance/style we’ve seen since Adams took us down. We are abysmal, and very lucky to be on 9 points, we could easily be sat on 3 points and bottom of the league right now. And that’s down to Wilder and his training methods, style of play and tactics.

 

[Borbokisfreekick]

Owners can't afford to sack Wilder.
Wilder won't quit.

End of thread.

Wilder will manipulate a sacking, just wait and see.

 

[Yoonitedite]

Take out
Scott Parker
Stick with Chris

I'd have Hecky back for the young uns

I'd take any of Cooper, Challinor or Rob Edwards in a heartbeat to replace Wilder
There must be more names out there

Yes but only 27,600 professional football coaches worldwide.
Or thereabouts, so perhaps one or two

Parker all day long, boring defensive football but championship promotion expert

 

[HOT CURRIE 10]

A.. How do people know we have no money ? He’s been backed and pissed up the wall. Loan payments will be hideous.
B….There are stacks of upcoming managers doing well at present,especially German,Scandinavian,Spanish(not Selles before I get dry bummed). The owners should pay the dollars both for advice and recruitment or their investment will be in the River Don.
C….We won’t give anyone 7 games before the Wilder fan club have the biggest paddy in the history of the earth.

Currently top of the Cypriot First Division with AEK Larnaca!

Have we still got his number?

It's time to come home, Ruben.

Only with a squad worth millions, he is no squad builder.

 

[John Street West Terrace]

My original one was Mark Robins about 3 years ago but he now has the cash behind him with the Stoke owners , I think Tony Mowbray would be a good choice , good manager that has also developed a lot of young players

 

[CarlMcBlade]

I’d sooner see this season out with Chris, then go for the Hull fella when they inevitably fall down the league and eventually sack him…Think the guy has got the minerals.

He’s also got some lovely cardigans

 

[BessemerBob]

Maybe it’s time not just to change the manager but change the structure too.

Bettis does far too much and he admits that he is a numbers guy. Not a football man.

There is no long term succession planning going in to the managerial side of things or recruitment, and we are quickly getting left behind.

It’s time to bring in a Sporting Director who can do all that. Bring in a head coach to work underneath to do the managing of the team. He can control the recruitment structure by appointing a Head Scout to work under his direction. He can modernise the analytics used and drag this club in to the 21st century

The last few years have shown how behind we are falling as a club

On the face of it. It would suit someone like Chris Wilder but the next managerial change should signal a clean break with him and the Blades.

I’d have thought Hecky would be a great person for the role and he is qualified for it too. He’s got a masters degree and very experienced and he would be able to head up the footballing department, and be ideal for a young head coach to work under

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

We had a Hull cast off before...the buttons fell off and all the threads unpicked themselves.

 

[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

What about the lad who's been reported as a candidate for Preston North End?

Tom Cleverley's also on the PNE shortlist with Leighton Baines.

 

[Gavlar]

It's worth looking at what tends to happen to the club when we sack a manager and get someone new in. Generally do we tend to improve and start playing better?

Selles did a great job for us in this scenario.

 

[Bellypork]

Of those listed I like the trajectory of Dave Challinor. Howe is unrealistic.

But I’d like Chris to turn it around.

He’s been without Hamer, O’Hare and Brooks. That was a known and could have been better catered for, arguably.

But he has also been without Seriki and Burrows, Chong and Oné.

I’d hate for someone to come in and excel purely because those were now available. But that’s kind of the last excuse.

I’d say you have your three week break to work on the system, you have those missing ones back. If you still can’t get us having some identity by Christmas then you’re out of ideas.

If Oné isn’t given starts and Burrows doesn’t play then you’ve bluffed everyone really. If they are fit then all three need to be staring against Lincoln City if they are the supposed difference makers we are led to believe.

I think we’ll play 3 at the back and may even attempt to overlap. But we need wingbacks bombing forward to create chances.

If that isn’t the plan then I don’t know what is.

Nooo, you don't want Challinor, Champers. He's hopeless, the worst manager in the country ...

 

[Older Blade]

Not sure a new manager is going to change our squad into world beaters?

A new manager isn't going to magically add pace to slow players.

That's a great point, given the laboured style of football we are playing we can't knock it up a gear because the ageing squad can't handle the athleticism of modern day football,

 

[Champagneblade]

He had Hamer and O'Hare at the start of the season and we were as shit with them as we have been without them, which says it all really.

Don’t take this as me defending how we’ve played at all but in defence of those two particular players, Hamer didn’t kick a ball for us this season. Because of that O’Hare ended up deputising on the left until he could bring in BBD.

We’ve been uncreative absolutely.

You could go Hecky Sporting Director. Monty first team coach.

Just an example but Monty is someone who has worked on a budget, CCM had one of the lowest wage bills. He blooded a lot of young players. And he got them playing winning football.

It didn’t work out at Hearts. But he’s doing well in China.

It would remain to be seen if he wanted to return to UK: money is probably decent there.
