CONFIRMED Chris Wilder leaves by "Mutual Consent"

[alcoblade]

Is that (necessarily) catastrophic?

There's zero evidence of it working (that's not a criticism). So the risk is enormously on the downside.

 

[programmechap]

Finished 4th bottom and only stayed up on goal difference and then got the sack. But yeah they played well at the Lane so he’s the man for the job.

Indeed. I looked at his record. Took Southampton down and pretty meh at both Reading and Hull.

Surely they wouldn't appoint him on the basis of one good game against us?

 

[PageHallBlade]

Gutted by this. Take me a while to care too much about football now I think.

The one tiny positive is maybe these insufferable posters who have absolutely loved slating him over and over these last couple of weeks will shut up for a bit.

oooh i doubt that will happen

however i will say i didn't want him back but the football we've played since November has been woeful very few times I've watched us this season and thought we were brilliant ( compared to when he took us up last time and every game was like watching prime Brazil *slight exaggeration).

I said after the Play off that i would give him till Xmas and see where we stood but ultimately the board have the money so its their decision.

Some would, it seems.

I think woeful is an exaggeration tbh. And I think the people who think last season was awful are in for a shock.

I'm struggling to see the logic of replacing a bloke who got a team to 3rd in the division with a bloke who go a team to 21st in the same division.

Really?
It will take you a while to get back into football because Wilder is getting sacked?!!

Mate it’s just football, stick with it, could be a blessing let’s see

 

[Barney Rubble]

Finished 4th bottom and only stayed up on goal difference and then got the sack. But yeah they played well at the Lane so he’s the man for the job.

As I remember the match, they were even a bit fortunate to win. Good in the first half although we were poor and deserved the lead. Second half we got on top but had an equaliser ruled out by a wrong offside decision and I felt we would probably have won. Few minutes later they scored a second that was offside and got a third at the death when we played desperation football to try and get two goals back.

Selles seems popular in the same way we get calls to sign a player just because they had a good game against us.

 

[Boxer Blade]

Without going down a rabbit hole Slav was expected to play attacking style with no wingers and ageing Norwood and Fleck.

We'd have a big Cooper and a Mini Cooper

Could mean Jags is coming back as well.

I didn't know we had re-branded the club as Wilder United FC.

 

[originaltrueblade]

But it factually hasn't been confirmed, so the location is correct as per the site rules. I couldn't care less either way, but why do you?

Time to move on but I felt leaving it where it was in these circumstances reaches more Blades who need that information because not everyone goes to the rumour mill page in fact I know some who can’t be bothered with it. When something as important as this and it’s being reported everywhere it should have been left and not moved. The club normally take ages to comment and this time is no different but their announcement when it comes will be old news
Just my opinion and I stated so but like I said time to move on

 

[Big.Dane.w]

Talksport saying he’s gone

 

[Nick Jansky]

The one tiny positive is maybe these insufferable posters who have absolutely loved slating him over and over these last couple of weeks will shut up for a bit.

We must also hope that his supporters don’t spend the next few months posting about wanting him back and, instead, get behind whoever the next manager is.

 

[Bladesman]

 

[Railway Blade]

I don't understand the logic of this being leaked again. Its just feeding the frenzy.

I don't see it being Wilder this time. I doubt he would comment that O'Neil is not in the boards thinking or that Giddings has tweeted that a new manager will be appointed soon.

All seems a bit bizarre.

 

[Davalon]

I didn't know we had re-branded the club as Wilder United FC.

It's not fair to brand all those keen for Wilder to stay but there's certainly a cult amongst a few.

 

[Jinxy1966]

That would be a barrel of laughs

Oh you’ve done it now. We’re gonna get tuns of barrel puns. You’ve really had our kegs down. Firkin hell

Probably agents confirming things.

 

[Foxy]

Short (or selective) memries.

 

[GeorgeDonis1889]

Good one mate. Hilarious. I didn't realise how much joy slating a manager who's given us so much could bring.

 

[GeorgeDonis1889]

Oh ye that would be terrible if people pointed out what a stupid decision it was that you've been begging for. I hope you enjoy next season after the dreadful experience of last year.

 

[Chimpan-A]

I'm struggling to see the logic of replacing a bloke who got a team to 3rd in the division with a bloke who go a team to 21st in the same division.

You haven’t been concentrating. Remember, the Best Young manager in the World (Trademark OwlsTalk) only got his team to 14th with one win this year! Rubbish is the new good!

 

[Danny_Blade]

Selles please

Que?

 

[Bladesman]

Good one mate. Hilarious. I didn't realise how much joy slating a manager who's given us so much could bring.

Much of that was first time round and we are grateful for that. You can't honestly say you have been impressed with the football this season or his antics?

 

[Nick Jansky]

You’ve pointed out that you think it’s a stupid decision. That’s fine, we all have opinions. Going on about it for months & months, as I’m sure some will do, will become very boring. In the same way as people continuing to slag Wilder will.

 

[Karaoke Blade]

Could mean Jags is coming back as well.

What's Bobby Ford doing these days?

 

[Bladesman]

Settle down there Alan.

 

[Lord Eddard Muir]

Some would, it seems.

It worked so well with Callum Robinson

 

[GeorgeDonis1889]

Much of that was first time round and we are grateful for that. You can't honestly say you have been impressed with the football this season or his antics?

Yes I was very impressed with last season. I didn't think we'd get top 6. His antics I just enjoy them because it'll be the last time we have a manager in the pub celebrating with fans after games. Too many pearl clutchers will mean its gone from football. I dont take it too seriously and don't think it's embarrassing. The ones constantly posting about him dont seem grateful at all to me.
