Hecky and Stuey McCall

[Chimpan-A]

I don’t know if it’s a conscious thing to be the polar opposite to Wednesday fans but we have the most miserablist support base in football by some distance. It’s so OTT sometimes it’s unreal. Even when things are going well there is always an arms race to spin it into a negative.

I’d add to that I really struggle to think of another set of supporters in this day and age who refuse to trust anything other than an English “meat and potatoes” manager, preferably one with some prior connection to the club.

This is true. I don’t know if it was here or X where someone posted about our terrible “history” with foreign managers. We have had one previous foreign manager who was essentially shackled from doing the type of thing he did well, and ousted after a couple of months. That’s a rich history right there.

without being horrible youve made an assumption without research because youve only really been in this forum since may.



i think wilder is amazing. but when you have had 10 years of basically the same manager in 3 spells. then getting used to someone isnt going to happen overnight & people will panic, go back to what they deem as "safe" . history is just repeating itself with wilder after southend in 2015

Uhm you mean I’ve only really posted since May. Big difference.

I don't think it will break until someone else from outside South Yorkshire get us promoted (last 4 I think?)

Yep, you have to go back to 1990 for a promotion not overseen by someone from an "S" postcode.

2023: CH>PL Paul Heckingbottom (Barnsley)​

2019: CH>PL Chris Wilder (Sheffield)​

2017: L1>CH Chris Wilder (Sheffield)​

2006: CH>PL Neil Warnock (Sheffield)​

1990: D2>D1 Dave Bassett (London)​

1989: D3>D2 Dave Bassett (London)​

​

What the flatearthers don't realise is that all our relegations in the last 30 years have also come under Yorkshiremen

2024: PL>CH Chris Wilder (Sheffield)​

2021: PL>CH Chris Wilder* (Sheffield) / Paul Heckingbottom (Barnsley)​

2011: CH>L1 Mickey Adams (Sheffield)​

2007: PL>CH Neil Warnock (Sheffield)​

1994: PL>D1 Dave Bassett (London)​

*while Heckingbottom was in charge when we were confirmed relegated, he only had 9 games as interim manager and we were bottom on 14 points from 29 games when he took over. That relegation was 90% on Wilder.​

I'd be on the phone to Hecky right now and getting his team for Swansea.

Take Ndiaye out of the team and you realise what a limited manager Hecky really was. He was lucky to have a player like that, but without Ndiaye we were nothing and the boring crap football with no style of play and no plan B was evident to just how limited Hecky was. He had no tactical nuance about him and only made changes after the event instead of before to prevent it. Lovely bloke and I have no animosity towards him, but he was a bang average manager.

Haven’t been this uninspired about a season 2 games in since David Weir and even he won the 1st of 2 games.

Huddersfield Town went with Lee Grant who has never managed an club over this guy, we replaced Chris Wilder with him!

Warnock coming back and saving us from relegation when we’ve held on to this lemon for too long and seeing our parachute payment advantage sail off in to the sunset is as good as this season’s gonna get.
