Wilder is doing about right for the squad we have isn't he? Sold the main attacking threat and not replaced them and sitting above mid-table.
He’s a good way responsible for that squad though.
He might not have had any money this last window for fees but a lot of the wage distribution is down to him.
Right back for example.
First choice - Seriki. Young(ish) has had a few injuries and inconsistencies so you’d think a good, solid and available backup would be important
Shackleton - the Bogle replacement, just fucking lol
Doherty - the Seriki backup whose been on a well documented decline for a few seasons, with decreasing mobility and availability.
Choudhury - the midfielder signed as the backup backup right back who was on a contract of £50,000 a week at Leicester and the general rumour is that we just simply took over his contact.
That’s 3 terrible signings for one position which between them probably cost £100k a week. So yeah, he may not have had fee money this window but surely we could’ve picked up an athletic and available right back out of league one or lower championship to be backup to Seriki and used some of that money to address the lack of creativity.
He’s spent lots of money over the last few years that we’ve very little to show for.
He might be sat mid table with a mid table squad but he’s contributed a lot to turning premier league money into a mid table championship squad.
A mid table championship squad that sits bottom 4 in most key metrics like XG, XG against, possession, key passes, chances created and chances conceded.
