Fucking rubbish Wilder

[Tom Bott]

If it wasn't for O'Hare, Peck and Campbell we'd be worse than Wednesday imo.

Remind us all who signed O'Hare, Campbell, Burrows, Souttar and Cooper..

 

[Rodley]

Oooooh, the worst thing about losing nowadays is threads like this. Some of you can..not..wait!!
We lost by one goal, away from home against a top 10 team.
What do you want to apologise for??
We blew it, it happens. We're on a ONE match losing streak, and these Wilder haters get to annihilate the club for another few days now

 

[Tom Bott]

The most goals EVER scored by an away side in a Sheffield derby.

Not to mention the time we put 7 past them, though pig history seems lacking for that year.

Remembering Sheffield United's remarkable 7-3 hammering of Sheffield Wednesday, on this day in 1951

It’s been 71 years since Sheffield United stuck seven goals past their bitter rivals Sheffield Wednesday in one of the most remarkable results in their long and illustrious history.

Wilder, but four of those were 'no-brainers' that any Championship manager would have signed given the resource at our disposal at the time.

Wilder has done some fantastic business over the years, don't get me wrong. Virtually swapping the 'tug boat' Lee Evans for the 'Rolls Royce' that was Olly Norwood will always stay with me but he's signed a lot of overpriced shit too.

He really isn't the god that the 'Cult of Wilder' think he is.

Several points :

Prior to wilder being re-appointrd, it was stated from the owner's that a DOF would be appointed as well as a new manager. Why has this not happened? Maybe it because of the close relationship between wilder and bettiis who realises that chris wilder does not want a DOF to interfere with his control?
The public comments from Stephen Bettis ( more than once) regarding Mcburnie wanting to join United in the summer and stating that Ruben Selles prevented this, then wilder confirming recently that he thinks Mcburnie should be at the club is in my view criticism of Selles and support for wilder.
Finally, with Bettis stating that he is on the board and has a say on all matter's, it is obvious that, much to my disappointment, wilder will probably have preferential treatment to a manager with no connections? In my opinion, this is not healthy or beneficial to the future of the club, or more importantl, the supporters!

Thought he was goosed after 30 mins

Shouldn’t be near first team . FFS

If you have to descend to the gutter level of chucking insults around, you could at least spell them correctly.

I would say its probably doubtful that he could.

I'm really struggling with this thread.

Have we not just won 2 games of football in six days, narrowly missing out on at least a point from the third game.
Scoring six goals in the process.

 

[Tom Bott]

We are far from united as a fanbase, and we won’t be until we eventually get a manager who everyone rallies around.

That's never going to happen given my post above.

No manager will ever be good enough.

Imagine the grief if we had won 1-0.

Maybe Bettis has also learnt a lesson in that Chris Wilder is the clubs best option, as opposed to a number of other disasters we've tried.

One thing that has always cheered me up, when the United hierarchy need to find another manager, they’ll only have to look at this board because there are absolutely hundreds here….

Their only problem will be finding out which one has the brain cell.

Sorry Sean i got it wrong! I was only 4 at the time !

Balham for director of football and Bergen Blade for first team coach.

It's a no brainer.

Wow got that wrong as well ! had a senior moment ! I was 6 ! I may have been at the match i used to go with my dad . I doubt it though as there was fifty thousand there i dont think he would have risked taking me.As we know big crowds for nippers wasnt a wise thing to do.

Great idea, who will we appoint as DOF Grbic, Selles, Jokanovich?

Whover would be appointed would just get slated every game we didn't win or play 'attractive' enough football.

Barnsley FC have a DOF and billionaire owners, how has that helped them recently?

Appreciate your comments T B, but basically at the present time Wilder has got pretty much a free reign over what he wants, transfers in and out etc. Surely this cannot be beneficial to the club, because everyone knows (apart from the new owners) of wilder and his previous massive failures with large transer signings, particularly strikers. Taking into account that after Selles was relieved of his duties, the owners stated that they wanted to recruit a new manager and a director of football. It is blatantly obvious that this has not transpired due to the fact that bettis ( who unfortunately is now on the board) and wilder have such a cosy relationship (totally unhealthy for the club) that wilder told his pal he would not come back under the control of a DOF. I
I am extremely surprised how many supporters on this forum are accepting the unacceptable shambles of the way the club is being run, with surely realism that wilder is pulling the strings. ( Hopefully, the likes of 54yrblade, Nick Janksy, Tony K, knows nowt and many others will continually air their negativity regarding wilder)
Finally, the likes of Norwich, Southampton etc, with woeful results have not pulled the trigger on the manager because they have a professional manager/board relationship compared to events at S2.

There have been a few managers the fans have united behind, including Wilder Mk1. It will happen again, but not for quite a while yet.

I expected us to burn through a few managers post Wilder as it was obvious whoever came in after would struggle to unite the fans. Now he's back, it's going to be years before everyone is on the same page again.

Yes, exactly this. By bringing him back for a 3rd time we’ve just prolonged the pain we are going to have to go through.

I completely understand the logic in bringing him back. The majority love him, the board got incredible stick for sacking him and I presume they thought he'd just immediately start getting us up the table because he knew so many of the players. It does feel like it's likely to cause more issues down the line though. Unless the club changes off the pitch we are just going to go to shit again the moment he leaves.

The only way I can see this ending as a success is if we build a modern club around Wilder. However, Wilder being the control freak he is makes that a vanishingly small prospect.

I live in hope.
