Baffling squad assembling

[Carlton Blade]

i may have been swayed by doncaster fans, who are in same boat as us

I'm not saying he'd definitely succeed. But he's been around long enough that a job like United likely wouldn't faze him

Many good posts about changing the set up and it needs to happen.

Of course Wilder probably isn’t happy at selling players than not having any money to spend. “The board have fucked him over”. Brooks was sold on day 1 of the window, Hamer rejected a contract, presumably some weeks before the end of the season. Fair enough O’Hare was last minute but we should have been looking for a player to compliment/use instead of anyway.

Is this seriously the best we could have done ? Was this the plan all along, to return to a 4-4-2 ? I’d love to know if Wilder is happy with who he’s got and who the other targets were. I wonder what he’d have done with £30m

This is where a DOF can come in to advise the owners and say the guy wants old has beens OR that he’s put some really good suggestions/visions forward and it’s just not come off. To be fair, Wilder maybe needs to hear that his squad is fucking wank.

The owners are clueless so do need some sort of ‘impartial’ advisor. But they’ll have Wilder & Bettis resisting it and it sounds like they attempted it with James Bord and that spectacularly backfired !

I don’t know how they can get to the point where they can make a decision on the restructuring. They can’t ask the Prince now

Other than "sign older players I have a personal relationship with", I'm not sure there's was a plan. I think we recruited who was on the list with a plan to make something out of it later

It got to the point that i dont think many players actually wanted to come here with the whole uncertainty at the moment, hence why we were struggling to get players in, only those who had been here previously, the anomaly being Kitching

Wilder has it made. Like a dysfunctional mafia family, or buying your bored/alcoholic partner a Gin bar to run.

Best mate as CEO.

Owners who have no idea, and are wowed by some cunt and his powerpoint. So fuck knows what they can grasp from this.

No one above him making any other decisions, literally has the keys to the fucking club. No intelligent, respected footballing people in director positions or scouting.

His own Josef Goebels esque friendship group on social media, whipping fans up in a frenzy if we even hint at deciding to change things.

An old guard of miserable bastards being our most vocal fans. Any criticism of Wilder is met with a strawman defence of “knows the club” and “his past successes.”



Clubs going down in a tailspin. Too late to react, as always. This has been going on since 2021. Wasted money, cult of personality bullshit, one dimension in all aspects.

I’m fed up with this club. Always been the same since the late 70’s. No modernity.

Fuck Bettis off. Cut off this umbilical cord of Bladey Bladeness and League 1 (2016) management.

Message to the owners:

Get a proper functional, and experienced bunch making decisions. Take that pressure away from yourselfs and hire people who know what they’re doing with proven success to run the club. That will take the bulk of cost, come up with a long term strategy, don’t shit yourself because “Wit_xx” decides whether it’s successful or not, if we don’t see immediate results.

Fucking invest in scouting networks, take a leaf out of whoever is running the academy, because for the last 10 years they’ve been doing a better job than whatever shit we have in the first team.

FITNESS FITNESS FITNESS. Fuck players off who think they can take the piss on the clubs money. They’re professionals ffs, the culture is rotten to the core. It’s a massive and glaring issue. Every other club looks so much athletic compared to ours.

Hire a manager who has a plan B and is ambitious enough to take is forward, backed by a strong as fuck structure upstairs.


WEVE NOT HAD ANY SUSTAINED TOP FLIGHT SUCESS SINCE 1976.

At last some sense! Sadly the bladey blades will be along shortly and rip you to shreds, probably starting with... " if your not satisfied fck off to Hillsborough " its got that sad!! The club as got to come out of the 80s and stop being run like some Sunday league mob ffs!
