Do you think Kevin McCabe is arrogant enough to pick Wilson which will alienate a lot of the supporters at a time when his own stock is currently at its lowest?

I genuinely have backed him and again got sucked into his radio show the other week. I think this would be the end of my own blind faith with him. I know it seems a bit melodramatic but it would strike more of a **** you to the fans than a man knowing what he is actually doing.

Blackwell lasted about 5 minutes of his 1st home game last season before a lot of fans started turning on him. I don’t think even Wilson would get that!

It would be the fans, if they turned on Wilson after such a short time, who would be arrogant. I don't want Danny Wilson at all, but if he were to get the job it would exasperating to see him come under fan-pressure immedietly purely because some supporters can't take a step back from their personal and collective biases and be objective.

Whether its going to be a good decision or not (and his track record is hit and miss, to say the least), im convinced McCabe is genuinley trying to find the candidate he believes will do the best job.
 
McCabe should pick the best man for the job (within our budget).

Any past affiliations should be irrelevant.
 
Sheffielder, I agree with all you say. I've backed McCabe in the past because I thought that he has always tried to do his best and what he thought was right for the Blades.

A lot of what he says I do support, things like not gambling the club's future and trying to develop the off field side, to benefit the onfield.

His Academy vision is one which I still back, I cited Pembo's appointment at the start of the season as one of the reasons why I thought the summer was decent last year.

But sacking Micky, when there was no viable alternative already lined up and with the rumours growing that Wilson is the new man to take us forward, then I'm sorry, my backing will be lost....

So i'm sitting tight and hoping that he won't let us all down this time...

Not that easy though, is it?

Only one man has ever commanded the respect of both of us and it took him a lifetime of dedicated and exemplary service on both sides of the city.
 
Was the late great Mr Dooley a problem!

Not to my knowldege!!

So why should Wilson?
 
The only good thing about Danny Wilson is Mary's Prayer. And that was sh!t.

Exactly. If everyone with Wednesday connections was ruled out of the job, Porterfield would never have been our manager. One of our more successful managers and someone who got us playing better football in the fourth division than we played all last season (and the 3 seasons before that!).

And it seeme to me to be more than just coincidence that our poor decision making and nosedive in fortunes has occurred since he retired as chairman and ceased to take an active part in our affairs.
 
What utter tripe some of you write. Wilson played for and managed the Pigs. He never supported them! Harry Maguire did, however. Shall we run him out of town?

Ability and style is all that matters. Wilson likes to play proper football. If he does that attractively and effectively he will be accepted in no time.

He would not be my choice; far from it. Neither would Robins. Wilson is not, however, the disaster waiting to happen that many of you would like to think. I'd far sooner have him than Quickfix Micky and his wretched crew or the Former Reserve Part-Time Non-League Goalkeeper.
 
don't really care if wilson played for or even supports the pigs.. question is what is his cv like? could he do a good job.. life is full of little ironies.. it would be ironic if he came and did really well.. that is why i advocated paul jewell last time.. just so we could take the piss
 



I would happily accept Jewell. He plays the game properly (so does his mistress!)

These people are professionals who happened to work for the Pigs somewhere along the line. Not one of them are dyed in the wool Pigs.

I seem to recall in recent history where we have eventually managed as supporters to get over the fact of previous allegiance to the dark side i.e. Geary, Bromby, Quinn, Creswell……....the exception being Curran in my memory of course....

Why should the appointment of Wilson be any different?
 
Agree with much of the sentiment above. The fact that he's an ex-porker isn't an issue for me, so long as he fits into the philosophy we're trying to implement.

Let's be honest, we're not exactly renowned as supporters for our patience anyway, so a history of oinking isn't going to make that much difference.

As someone else posted previously, he's only represented them anyway. Both Cahill and Maguire got good receptions (as well as many others previously I'm probably not aware of) and they actually support(ed) the porcines.

The only pre-pig I'd be genuinly against would be a current pig, Mr Megson, and I think that's about as likely to happen as England hosting a world cup in my lifetime!

Someone Else? Someone Else! Someone Fecking Else!!

I've been called many things on here but never suffered the ignominy of being a mere 'Someone Else'!

I do agree with you though, whoever you are :D
 
What if everyones little darling Pembo has requested Wilson as the ideal man he'd like to work with?

Would this help ease the shock if it was made public?

We have just been talking about this at work. Maybe Wilson is the only manager who would accept having Pembo as his right hand man or something on those lines

I would like to think that Pembo is calling the shots and has the veto rather than the candidate.

I'm glad you've raised the issue though. The proposed change of philosophy is, long term, more important than the transient identity of the newcomer. If Wilson is the best man to dovetail with Pembo in bringing football home then let it be Wilson!

Got to agree with Pembo having the veto rather than the other way around. Words from either Wilson or Robbins at the press conference along the lines of "Pembo wanted me to join" would help quell the unrest.
 
i am not for wilson at all,but can you just imangine giving it to the pigs if wilson did get the job and took us up !!!! i am sure DW would get immense satisfaction from doing a good job at BDTBL after they sacked him, lets not forget they sacked another decent young manager in paul jewell and look what he went to achieve
 
I'm reasonably happy with this appointment. The wailing will soon stop if we start well (obviously the worry is the fan reaction if we don't). Heard some good stuff about Wilson and the Robins backers seemed to think he was a genius for keeping Barnsley up which must make Wilson a god! I wouldn't be suprised if the key influence in persuading McCabe to go for Wilson was one of our senior players who, from what I've heard, has a lot of say in hiring and firing of managers.

errrrrr is that Quin, Bromby or Geary? ;-)

Whoops sorry, should have read whole thread before reacting
 
Morgan wasn't with Wilson in 1997 was he, could have been you know.

Cheers Morgs you cant
 
Hiding to nothing if it's Wilson
He would have to get us into the Prem and then into Europe in 3 years to have a chance of being accepted.

Only chance of that is if he plays Championship Manager on the PC - so failure it is then.

Even if he does get us outof Div 3 he will not get any credit - we shouldn't be there in the first place.

Underwhelmed
 



Putting the wednesday connections aside, it's just another guy from the managerial garbage pile. Has mCcabe no ambition at all?
