As a fanbase do we deserve answers

[Pedro Verde]

The departure of Chris Wilder from the Lane has not been the usual 'Youve lost a load of matches we are getting relegated see ya'

There is much more to this parting of the ways than normal, it must be the most drawn out departure of a football manager ever

So as a loyal fanbase, most of us loyal to the manager despite our horrific season, do we deserve an explanation how this fuck up was allowed to happen ?

 

[Bladesman]

I wonder if the board had enough of the subtle digs in the press conferences by Wilder over the last month or so. Talks of sticking to the plan etc.

 

[maidmarion]

Nope....
we buy our season tickets and our shirts and support our club.
we don’t own the club, it is our choice to support it.
like it or not there is nothing we can do to determine who our manager is or which players are bought.

We will however be here for far longer than any owner, manager or player.

 

[Rodley]

If fans were in the ground this would have been Shoesapocalypse in the car park.

Even Bettis looked like he was babbing it doing the presser to one man behind the camera.

Think fans will let the board know their thoughts when back in the ground.

Sticking to the plan
Isn't that the intro to GTA5

 

[MalmoBlade]

we're all in this together

until we're not, in which case we're just the punters

 

[knowsnowt]

No.

 

[Torrix1889]

No, he's left by mutual consent which means it suited both parties....if Wilder didn't want to leave it would have said sacked....leave it at that and move on.

That is why I think we deserve an explanation of some sort

Totally agree

In the club's statement they gave Wilder 3 lines for 5 years service.
I would highly doubt they will give the fanbase more.

He’ll be gurning his tits off on the way home then.

 

[Davalon]

Of course we do but we won't get them officially.

Doesn't really matter because most will ultimately get there.

We need to stick behind all the decent people at the club, predominantly the players who have served so well over the last few years.

True to an extent but when fans really don’t want a manager they can play a big role in getting them removed. Don’t remember too many staying long once the fans have turned?

It suited both parties to pretend it was mutual, just like 90% of sackings. Do you not follow football?

Ok pal, apologies....you obviously know exactly what happened so I bow to your superior knowledge.....

I disagree. Fans are the greatest stakeholders to any club.

 

[More Bladier than thou]

I think the board certainly need to build/repair bridges. Everyone is blaming the board for this, so a little transparency about how/why it came to this point, also some clarification about the direction and future intentions of the club would go a long way to appeasing the fans.
whilst we are unlikely to get a full explanation, fans are very concerned about the situation.
