Before the 20 Wilder haters surface..

[dellasthunderbolt]

I think the awkward truth is that Wilder hasn’t been amazing or terrible this year. He is just a decent Championship manager now. Nothing more nothing less. That’s what makes going forward difficult.

Really says a lot about the intelligence of the Wilder fan brigade when their brains can only comprehend 2 possible managers, Wilder or Sellés.

What in that post indicates they would only consider 2 managers? I don’t understand the mentality of those of you who hate Wilder so much (or those who put him on a pedestal) but fortunately you are few and far between.

 

[spongebobblade]

Because I asked where he goes with his mates on non-matches days and then explained I’m rarely in Sheffield on match days and for some reason you can’t put these things together so we can only assume you’re thick as fuck. Which would also explain your love of Wilder.

You didn’t specify non match days. You were asked why you don’t tell him yourself which you still haven’t answered. You proceed to call anyone who doesn’t agree with you “thick as fuck” or Wilder lovers when plenty of us don’t actually think he’s god (though you’d love to imply it) but think he’s the right man for the job.

What in your opinion makes him the right man for the job?

Because it pisses you off so much

Funny that you think that

He works better with a limited budget which we will have next season. The squad is capable of a top six finish and needed only fine tuning last summer. He knows the vast majority of the players and what needs to be done including getting us much fitter in the summer. Too many players weren’t fit enough when the season started which wasn’t down to him. He has achieved the remit of avoiding relegation. Let’s not kid ourselves. Nobody was thinking of play offs when we were losing every game under Selles, we were that bad. You can’t turn that form and shot confidence round overnight. If we want to deviate from Wilder which we will have to at some point then the infrastructure needs to be altered which it won’t be anytime soon. Finallly after guiding us to 90 points last season and to safety this the majority think he deserves another chance……
So off you go then, in a sensible constructive way, why don’t you think he’s the man for the job?

There are other managers who are as capable of working with a limited budget, you could even argue that managers who are more open to using modern data driven recruitment (no, not just the failed AI attempt which people on here hate despite not fully understanding). But a system similar to that used very successfully by other clubs.

The fitness issues weren't just this season, we've suffered from a lack of fitness when Wilder & co had a pre-seasons, we've seen nothing to suggest there will be an improvement in those terms next season. Yes our overall fitness was good in his first spell, but since covid it's been poor even with when he's had pre-season.

I agree the infrastructure behind the scenes needs work for us to progress, but that won't happen with Wilder in charge so we have to just move on at some point. We all know he would refuse to work with a sporting director or without full control so we can't progress while he's here blocking that progress. We're also currently limited by Bettis being so involved and seemingly mates with Wilder.

There's also the issue that if we do progress, at some point we will need to sign better players and therefore pay higher fees. Wilder has proven, several times, that he cannot be trusted with those funds.

Personally I think if the owners had an ambition (or knowledge of the game) they would make the required changes, bring in the correct people/set up behind the scenes and tell Wilder he can either work within that set up as the head coach or he can leave of his own accord.

I don’t agree with all of that but it’s far better than calling people “thick as fuck” when they don’t share your opinion or that they are his mates who get free tickets from him down the pub

The problem is, most of his biggest supporters won't accept opinions different to theirs as they truly believe he is the greatest manager on the planet, those are the ones who get called thick as fuck, not you.

I got called that simply for pointing out that should you wish, you can quite easily meet the manager and tell him your views face to face. I don't think he's the greatest nor the worst manager on earth but it would appear that failing to agree with you makes you have a meltdown.

 

[Houston_Blade]

What in your opinion makes him the right man for the job?

He’s the current manager of Sheffield United and has had relative success in the role over recent years. We also don’t have a great record when we’ve tried anything other than a Blade as a manager in recent years.

What makes you say he’s not?

Who would be your suggestion as an alternative?

The owners will see ANOTHER red card, and be aware of the momentous anti wilder feeling. He is well and truly on borrowed time !

Yawn. Some clubs are on borrowed time.

Ahahaha momentous anti Wider feeling that’s in your head and 19 others on this board. Most fans want him back, your in a minority of 20.

 

[Blade In Flame]

You know if you really hate him this much you can quite easily find him and let him know. Seriously, he goes for a pint in the hotel after home games, it's common knowledge where he goes out with his mates so rather than bore the fucking tits off everybody with your constant fucking sniveling, why not tell him to his face?

Lol, as if these soy boy incels would dare step out from behind their big protective keyboards to confront anyone.

 

[Missing Spark]

Enjoy ne

Enjoy next season, because it is the last time EVER that you will see wilder

 

[JayGreen17]

He’s obviously been reading this forum lol, he even mentioned culture of the club, which has been heavily mentioned in a few posts on different threads. I’m also not sure what game he was watching at Norwich - he said we had more chances, fact were we didn’t.,

 

[LiamBG]

It’s strange how our supporters settle for mediocrity.

Most of these lemons would settle for us playing in League 1 just as long and Wilder was the manager.

 

[YES Blade]

The January transfer window doesn’t exactly fill me with confidence that he is good with a lower budget.

Even more reason to restructure the player recruitment department.

I agree he hasn't been amazing, but he's been good. We had a long period where our form would put us in the top 2.

He inherited someone else's team on 0 points after what, 6 games? 7? I don't remember. He's improved things after we were all talking about relegation, with limited budget and time. Patrick Bamford and Rhiedewald were incredible free signings.

I think it's ridiculous to be giving them stick after the difficult season they've had after our changes of management.

Give him another season with full support to see what he can do with a full run of it. I think he'll get them fired up and we'll have a good one next season. The negativity being thrown around helps no-one, and it's one of the reasons we ended up with Selles in the first place.

 

[Torrix1889]

There's a lot more than 20.

Was never a red for Femi, hopefully we appeal and get it rightly overturned.

The boys put a shift in for sure but put your cock away as although we came away with a point we rode our luck. MOTM was the woodwork...... it could easily have been 4 or 5.

 

[Bladedog]

Don't pick players that don't try...pretty sure lundstrum wasn't giving 100% when he wanted out.

 

[I should coco]

That point was top notch. Literally all 10 battled their hearts out. Reading your retort just shouts out you wanted us to lose so you could once again slag off Chris. That’s not a supporter it’s a bland keyboard warrior. Put your dum dum back in and drum up some more bollox. Wilder and team are back next year and thoroughly and utterly deserve to do so.

You're that pig aren't you? Seriously, why aren't you on Pigstalk banging on about your 0 - 2 hammering of Ipswich today?

As MM says, he is of the porcine persuasion.

Bang him on ignore, like most of us have done.

 

[I should coco]

I obvious expect to see some rank stupidity on here from time to time, but thas has to be one of the leaders so far this year.

Keep up the good work!

 

[GreasyChipBeattie]

My problem is where was the team of today, last Saturday and on Wednesday? I got the feeling he would get a performance from them today, but why just today??

Clubs rarely get a consistent 'togetherness' about them, and when they do, it usually results in a successful season.
Squads generally take a couple of seasons of tweaks to get there, and then usually from a better starting point than a season like this!
I think it needs time mate. Time to get the right players in and time for those players to gain understanding, partnerships etc. which leads to a belief that 'we can do it' which in turn keeps the confidence, motivation and purpose high.
It's a fine line though between trying to make it happen and it actually happening!

 

[sitwell]

Because I asked where he goes with his mates on non-matches days and then explained I’m rarely in Sheffield on match days and for some reason you can’t put these things together so we can only assume you’re thick as fuck. Which would also explain your love of Wilder.

Are you like 5 years old ?

 

[ChefYouKnighted1889]

He put his best mate on the pen when we had Bamford and burrows on the pitch masterstroke that ah Chris
