If Wilder is sacked….

Give Chris 26/27 but have a strong shortlist of managerial targets planned and sounded out way before the end of next season. Hire a Director of Football and/or similar ASAP now.

Leicester City have a DOF and had 3/4 managers this season, they can't even beat Sheffield Wednesday.
That with a team full of ex PL players.

Why people think appointing new managers/DOF's will transform us I have no idea.

I agree with you, fed up of reading "Know it alls" banging about DoFs thinking they will improve the club. Why pay two huge wages to the DoF and the head coach who are unlikely to agree on the type of players we need to sign and sell.

It has to come from the owners.
What is their plan ?
Is it REALLY for PL ? For more than one painful season ?
Have they yet acquired ANY nouse , about UK Soccer ball , with which to identify what's required to achieve it ?
Can't they see that bumbling along with Wilder and the current structure might keep the Wilderettes happy , but will NEVER get them closer to their objective.
The whole staff of the club has reached the end of a cycle and is stale , like last week's bread.
This is the perennial problem with remote owners , if you don't have a credible business structure in place , under which performance & progress can be monitored.
Remote owners can't sense what's going on from a distance.
Wilder can keep telling them
"You have to do a lot of things right to win a tight game of football"
and they are forced to swallow it till the cows come home.
They have no means to cross-examine him.
RS interviews don't help them coz the sycophantic feckers never ask the killer questions which fans pose on here.
As a criminal barrister , used to polite but incisive questioning , I am grinding my teeth in frustration at the lack of journalistic enquiry.
From another angle , it is heartening to see some non-parachute clubs at the top - but we've HAD that £ and we've now failed twice to get back up , and the tap's turned off.
However much I love the club and however much I sing & shout , that's a relative failure in anyone's book.
Whether it's Wilder in or Wilder out , I'm just aching for the owners to "get a grip" because imo they're fiddling while Rome burns.
And their populist "bladey bladey line" with Wilder for life followed by Sharp , is deeply disturbing.
