Danny Wilson?

There's a guy on Pork-Talk who works at BDTBL who reckons it wont happen and that Wilson is in for the Bristol Rovers job......here's praying he's right!
 



Wilson must be desperate, as he's one of the ex Pig clique that never have a good word to say about us even after they've left the Sty.
 
If it boils down to a choice between two out of work managers like Robins or Wilson, let's not offer them anything more than a one year deal where the club has the option to extend it. We can't afford to keep paying failing managers three years' wages for a few months' poor job.

No he did not. Harte took them down. Wilson left after the baord sold hos 4 or 5 best players.

What the fuck? Surely this can't be true. Someone needs to get a message to McCabe that there are certain managers that will never be accepted by the fans - & Wilson is one of them. His record at Swindon was truly abysmal.

Show some ambition McCabe & stump up the money for a decent manager. Having to spend money comes with the territory if you're a football club owner. If you don't like it, sell up.

I have issues with Piggy Dingle Wilson, but he has a decent record. Took Barnsley up playing decent football. Had Wednesday playing decent stuff and also Swindon. Swindon were damn unlucky not to get automatic last season (Leeds pipped them on the last day) and then they were unlcuky to get beat by Milwall in the play offs. The baord then sold the best 4 or 5 players and all Wilson's hard work was undone. He had built a good team and was unlucky not to be playing us this/last season. He left them when his squad was torn apart and he realised he could take them no futher.

To be fair to Danny Wilson his sides do pass the ball. He's by no means a hoofer and I remember his Barnsley side playing some decent stuff when they went up. His best spell I always thought was at Bristol City and his record seems to show that. He still wouldn't be my choice though, I think he's had his day at a big club and didn't quite crack it.

Exactly.

I'm the complete opposite. I'd take Wilson in a heartbeat if it means we don't get Robins. At least Wilson has some, very impressive, achievements on his CV and plays attractive football.

SkyBet are reporting 'lumpy bets' on both but (a) bookies massively exaggerate bets taken as a matter of course and (b) the thread on BladesMad might've caused a few people to stick £20 on Wilson.

I think Wilson is a decent manager and his record proves it. His teams play decent stuff also. He would not be a bad appointment. The BIG problem is that he managed Wednesday (and Barnsley). However I feel he would be a better choice than Robbins.

I agree entirely. Wilson assembled the 'watching Brazil' team at Barnsley and did well at Bristol City. He does, at least, try to play football and that is of fundamental importance this time. The next manager must dovetail with Pembo.

I should stress that he's nowhere near the top choice on my list (Coppell) but he's well ahead of Robins.

Remember we love Hoof Pinchy. Why get in Wilson who gets his team passing it on the deck. All this Brazil stuff is nonsense. We are the Blades and we like it up and at em.

Wilson built a good side at Swindon that was unlucky not to beat Millwall in last season, and then it had the guts ripped out of it with the sales of Greer, Paynter and Austin with nothing given back in return to buy replacements. He and Swindon didn't stand a chance after that and Paul Hart quickly found out it was a duff job too.

I'm not saying that I'd want Wilson (or the two time FA Youth Cup winning Hart) but sometimes basic stats give a misleading picture.

Exactly. Wilson is not top of my list, but he is a decent manager. I can understand he ill feeling (he did manage Wednesday and Barnsley) but the criticism is unfair.

Question for all the knockers. Would you be saying the same thing if he had not managed Wednesday??
 
I agree with pretty much everything Olle says in that post. As I've said already, Wilson wouldnt be my choice (he's not even in my top 5) but criticism against him whether it be right or wrong, should be relevant to his ability to do the job. The fact that he is an ex-piggy is irrelevant IMO and it should have no bearing on the decision.

If anything I would take great satisfaction in one of them making a success of the Blades. Surely that would rub their nose in it more than anything?! I find all this "we're not having him, he's a fucking pig" a bit infantile if I'm honest but I understand passion boils over when it comes to the two clubs.
 
Had Wednesday playing decent stuff

Whattaya, nuts? He was there 18 months and took them from the top half of the table to relegation, whilst wasting money on the likes of Sibon and De Bilde and falling out with Di Canio (admittedly, not difficult to do). And I don;t recall people clapping like seals at the fancy passing when they were getting humped 8-0 at Newcastle. He was a disaster at Hillsborough as a manager. I realise he has some good stuff on his CV, Olle, but like Adams that was all 15 or so years ago or in what is now League 2. His best days would appear to be behind him.

I will freely admit, though, that like all members of the early 1990's Pig side, I despise him. And he had no love for us.
 
United need to get a better manager than Wilson. One with a better win record. My recollection was that he couldn't stand the pressure of managing a 'massive' club like the pigs either - so might be in a similar vein to Micky Adams.

If we look at raw stats we want someone with a win record of 50% or better and someone who has increased league positions year on year.

I reckon you will be looking at managers like Scott, Hill and Tisdale. McClaren and Di Matteo probably have comparable records but will come more expensive.

I think all of these up and coming managers are characterised by the effective use of sports science, innovative coaching, proper scouting etc. Not a dinosaur who screams from the touchline and tries to fight the players in training. Those days are gone.

Edit: If Huddersfield don't go up, we should ask them about getting Lee Clark off them. I think he's done well with the Terrriers and has an excellent Assistant - Terry McDermott (calm down). Probably unavailable though

Wednesday were in decline at the time and the rot had already set in. I agree a couple of his signings turned out to be poor. Particularly the two you mentioned, but they did play decent football. I saw them on a couple of occasions and they did try to pass the ball under Wilson so the principle was there. They clearly just had poor results that season and that was simply because they weren't good enough collectively.

I agree he has had his day at a big club and couldnt crack it (thats why I have my reservations about him) but this thing keeps coming back about him being an ex-piggy. I am concerned about the former, I couldnt give a toss about the latter.

Agree with this 100%. The only piggy I'd consider would be Sheridan, based on his achievments at Oldham and Chesterfield and that his teams play football.

The win percentage record of managers is not so important to me. Owen Coyle has done a great job at Burnley and Bolton but his win percentage in the premiership would be shit. It's what you've acheved with the resources available that counts.
 
The man blades should get is DI Matteo.
 



Thats me now i am not watching the blades why the hell have we went for Wilson is it because he can get good young players sack the dam board if i was in charged.
 
What have Danny Wilson and Tony Blair got in common?

They both peaked in 1997!
 
fuck morgan, they could make TC assistant and I will still never ever forgive mccabe if this goes wrong
 
Cant be true. Please dont let it be true. if it is

SACK THE PIG SACK THE PIG SACK THE PIG
