Excellent article.

I’m also kind of on the fence mainly because Wilders strengths are very strong (making him one of the best) and regards those people who want Wilder to stay I can totally understand and kind of agree with them.

However it’s not a binary thought process. I also accept that Wilder has several significant negatives and can also understand why people would want to make the change.

Another point is that if a manager or a player accumulates massive support and enough power to de-stabilise a club then we have problems. The club should always be much much bigger than any player or manager. Wilders daughter is reported to have been or still is in a relationship with a player, this is potentially a disaster waiting to happen regards accusations of favouritism and internal politics.

Excellent point regards whether our preference for Blady Bladiness managers is a positive or a negative. Also Wilder is emotional and passionate and as fans we love it but if you was an owner wouldn’t you prefer someone calm and calculated who can handle pressure better and doesn’t have favourites.

I’m a big Wilder fan and thank him for giving me my best time supporting the Blades. This is a risky and brave decision to change managers but it seems that maybe they want to drag the club into the 21st century. We’ll see.

I think that is a fantastically written and a very well thought out piece. I’m ready to move on from this Blladeyness that this club has been embroiled in for far to long. I’m in my 60s, done every play off failure, done Darlington, done Leicester, done Northampton Peterborough and Port Vale. We need a big shift in our culture, just like this City of ours does, we’re getting left behind. I for one want to embrace this new vision, need to move on more of the management team in my opinion including Bettis. It could all end in failure, but be honest with yourselves, the last few seasons, which we should have enjoyed, have been so boringly disappointing...

As always UTB

This is brilliant. Got me really excited for the season.

I am excited to have a modern manager who employs forward thinking tactics

I agree, well written and very sensible article that talks a lot of sense. If it doesn't describe the thinking accurately - it ought to.

 

[Davalon]

I agree with that pretty much word for word

Basically he summed up exactly what I've been saying.

You need to understand apostrophes then

Beans’ = belonging to somebody called Beans
Bean’s = belonging to somebody called Bean

The article sums pretty much the way I feel by the way.

Wilders strengths are very strong (making him one of the best)

This is true, anyone else you’d want for the tragic Baldock situation?
Who better to get two 1-0 over pigs?

Problem is his weaknesses are very weak, making him one of the worse!!

Would any other manager

See the implosion of Souttar going and JLT come in, get a EPL defender on loan then not play him?
Play Hamer, BBD, Brewster out of position and bench oHare? Brewster over oHare?!
Plan A is pass it along the back until closed down then twat it and Hope Campbell can do summat? Plan B? As above, but pass to cooper to twat it
Adopt a Sunday league brawlers mentality which costs us half a mil in fines - that’s the equivalent of a £20k a week loan player Jan-june

Right decision

 

[themaninblack]

I think the emphasis on where we could be in two, three or four years when we have chewed through a few managers is seriously flawed. If we don’t get promoted the club will be worse off in four years time and our playing squad will not be as talented. In what sense is that progress?
I also find it bizarre that some commentators are seemingly more than happy to accept worse results next season than we have had this season. I haven’t renewed my season ticket just to watch us toss it off next year. If we don’t do better than this season then the regime change will have been a failure. That’s the nature of professional sport.
I’m a supporter of Sheffield United. We have a good squad and with the right additions and the right leadership I think we should be bang in the promotion race. I guess the owners must be thinking the same thing, not dreaming about how good we might be after another four years in the Championship.

Sorry, I didn't write my response properly.

For those not in the know, he used to work in Brenda's chippy. Always got upset as people used to ask for his Beans and he used to say, their isn't an apostrophe...

Beans right now

Reading beantween the lines does this mean Billy Sharpe is coming back

 

[UTB Blade]

When I find myself in times of trouble, United's Beans comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, GCB
And in my hour of darkness he is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, GCB

GCB, GCB, GCB, GCB
Whisper words of wisdom, GCB

And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree
There will be an answer, GCB
For though they may be parted, there is still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, GCB

GCB, GCB, GCB, GCB
There will be an answer, GCB

GCB, GCB, GCB, GCB
Whisper words of wisdom, GCB

GCB, GCB, GCB, GCB
Whisper words of wisdom, GCB

And when the night is cloudy there is still a light that shines on me
Shinin' until tomorrow, GCB
I wake up to the sound of music, United's Beans comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, GCB

And GCB, GCB, GCB, GCB
Whisper words of wisdom, GCB

And GCB, GCB, GCB, GCB
Whisper words of wisdom, GCB

Great article Beans and sums up exactly how I feel.

This article taps on some of the points I was trying to make on my 92 point myth thread, but he did a lot better job of it.

Wow- don’t think I’ve ever read a piece that long that I’ve agreed with every single line about. Thanks for sharing

 

[AWetFlannel]

This at least makes an attempt at being balanced, despite itself being littered with ill considered takes.

Hamer was the Championship player of the season, but Wilder had him "marooned out on the left all season", is one way of putting it. Another would be that he wasn't POTS at Coventry playing in his "correct" position, nor did he even make the team of the season. Wilder, in this team, playing him on the left in this season, allowed him to shine more than any player in the league.

Great article and sums up my thoughts exactly in a way I couldn’t
No negatives towards Wilder but sums up the many failings/positives we saw.
Also really poignant that’s he’s had nearly 1000 games - great achievement but he has his methods and is unlikely to change them.
A better standard of writing than most journalists could muster - a big well done

 

[MTBlade]

Its a great article and i think very well balanced.

I wonder if people will change there minds 'either way', after reading it?

It pretty much matches my thoughts.

I wasnt shouting for CW to go, but i did have a few questions as the season went on and wondered if this season was too much for him with everything that hapoened eg Starman, the takeover, the rebuild.

The season for me was just a bit meh, despite the 92 earned points.
