Allardyce recommends Wilder for Palace

Compared with most of us, CW is bound to be on very good money now, with plenty of incentives to further riches. Until, and unless, things go sour, I can`t see him wanting to leave. In his position I know I wouldn`t.
 

Personally I don't think money would be the main motivation should Wilder leave for Palace.

Wilder is nearly 50, how many other opportunities is he going to get to manage in the Premier League?

If he wants to try and get to the very top, win major honours and maybe manage England one day, he's isn't going to do it unless he takes a chance and goes to a club like Palace when the opportunity arises. We could finish lower mid table next season and he'll go from a top manager prospect in the lower leagues to Chris Who?

If he did decide to leave I'd have no ill feeling towards the bloke and he can go with my best wishes, he's earned that respect from every Blade.

Would have thought if Palace had been relegated, this might have been a real possibility. But just can't see a Premier League club taking that sort of chance on a manager who wasn't even proven at Division Three level till last season.

So if you had the football ability of Messi you wouldn't want to play at the highest level winning Championships and European Cups?

Football isn't all about money you know!

I think we do have reason to worry. As big of a blade as Chris is, he's not going to turn down increasing his salary 5 fold. Who would?

im afraid I don't have any at the moment sorry, but from memory it was something about our recruitment and there was a little dig at the pork also whilst comparing against our successful season.

I'm inclined to agree with this, but the one worry is that Palace haven't had a non British manager since 1998!

So they might prefer British managers over foreigners.

Might be good news for us, new contract might be finally offered to ward off any interest...

McCabe's track record on that front isn't great. He generally said "he already has a good contract" when clubs were looking at Warnock, and that line has already been trotted out by McCabe in relation to Wilder's situation. I really hope we don't take his United links as an excuse to not have him on a deal he deserves.

Got to admit there's part of me that's a bit trepidatious about this one, especially with Neil having been there and done so well for them. But I just think the Premier League perspective will count out Wilder (for now). Tend to agree with those who've said that if Chris gets us rolling this next season, then he does start to become hot property.

Let's hope we fail miserably, then? It will have the added bonus of no predatory interest in our best players.

He's got a really high stock at league 1 and league 2 level.

But it would be a massive leap of faith for a PL to take such a big risk.
PL clubs have millions and don't need to take a risk, they can bring it someone with relevant experience and a top cv. Wilder has NEVER even managed in the Championship, never mind the PL
And has no experience managing big egos or millionaires on massive salaries.
Wilder is an old school manager, not sure it would work in the PL unless he has some of his own men in the squad.

A move to Palace could make him rich, but he would be thrown in the deep end and it could seriously damage his career meaning he'll be for ever a lower league manager.

Wildler going to Palace would be like Nathan Thomas going to Boro.
If you ignore money Thomas best move to develope his career is at a club like Sheff Utd
Again forget the money Wilder next career progression should at an ambitious club at Championship level.

If Wilder goes to Palace then it would be similar to Jordan Slew going to PL Blackburn and we all know what that move did to Slews career. Suspect Wilder knows in heart the timing is wrong to move to the PL.

Completely disagree with this, Wilder isn't an "old school" manager he's progressive and completely understands the modern game for its flaws, that's why he's so successful in building a team and managing out the ego's, he did that with us last season got rid of the mercenaries.

Just because it's the premier league it doesn't mean that there isn't players who wouldn't work for each other, Wilder would apply his ethos at a higher level. This guy is a winner, and I'm positive he will take us places and become our most successful manager, but if we don't tie him down to a good deal here he will walk out the door, over to you McCabe.
 
CW is more likely to go to a PL side than Championship IMO. He already now has status as a Champ manager with a squad that is his own. Why move to start over? HOWEVER. a PL side is different because with us he will have to wait at the minimum, one season. Also, he would probably become a millionaire overnight whilst chasing down an ambition if, PL is his ambition. It might be PL but only with United. Who knows? Has anyone asked him?

I was speaking to a Palace season ticket holder last night and he made the point about Palace preferring British managers. This guy said he wouldn't mind Roy Hodgson if he's still in the market for another management post.

Then there's the fact that Steve Parish has commented on us a couple of times already this season on social media. He's been very impressed.

This is the Palace grooming method. Simon Jordan did exactly the same at the end of our promotion season in 2006. Sent a case of champagne to our dressing room and waxing lyrical about great to see a proper football club get promotion. Warnock was the catch in this grooming exercise. It followed that he'd end up as Palace manager sooner or later. Today it's a different chairman. Same tactic but Wilder's the catch.
 
I think he's in a position similar to that of young footballers getting offered the big move. If Wilder fails next season then there's a chance he never sees that kind of offer again. Equally, if he wants to be the best manager he can be, it's a very sensible idea to remain at a club where he can continue to progress and get another move later on to a club he thinks is best placed to move forward with.

I don't think it's likely that there's no offer that could tempt him. I do think that Palace might be a bad move to make. Tough job, likelihood of failure, and leaving a club on the up.
 
Tony cascarino links wilder with every big premier job that comes up ,he's a big fan of tufty and to be fair he is a pundit who's opinion I respect
 
I feel if wilder left for money it'd undermine a lot of his principles as manager. I think this especially after what he's said about Nathan Thomas. I do feel he is a man of passion and honour over a man or money.

On the other hand money always talks.

I think you're deluded tbh.

If he is offered 5x the wage at a now established premiership side with a very good side and a large transfer budget to spend, he would be insane to turn it down.

Maybe it would be insane but it's not all about money for CW, he's even said himself he doesn't like and won't sign players that are only motivated by money so he's hardly going to become a hypocrite of himself is he?

But ultimately he's not going to leave his boyhood club after just one season as perfect as it's been. If the board give him the tools then he'd rather try and achieve things here and become more of a legend than he has already started to. I'm sure one of the biggest achievements he'll want to achieve in his managerial career will be to get his boyhood club back to the PL which could happen within the next 2-3 seasons.

I just think people are getting overly worried about him jumping ship, yes his stock is currently considerable after back to back promotions and now clubs are starting to become more aware of him, he may be poached in the future but that's only realistic if we perform extremely well. If he doesn't he'll go back under the radar of other clubs until we do start looking like serious promotion contenders.
 

Some very niave comments on here. Wilder knows he's only 3 months of poor form away from half our support wanting him out ! If a premiership side wants him I'd be amazed if he turned them down, anyone with ambition wants to perform or work at the highest level. The wages would be over a million a year and he'd be in charge of the likes of Saha and Benteke whilst we decide whether we can afford a Southend players with a year left on his contract. Part of Wilders rhetoric about players needing to want to play for us and not being held to ransom is down to our budget and part his philosophy.

As for taking a chance on him, it's no bigger chance than bringing in a foreign manager or appointing an ex player with no managerial experience.

Anyone who thinks he'll stay just because he's a Blade is in my opinion deluded
