Is Wilder the solution to the problem of only being half as shit you used to be under Hecky

A more relevant question is why are so many of the public faces of our club, clinically obese?

I always wonder how football managers turn into fat bastards. Surely they’ve got everything they need to be able to stay trim, chefs, nutritionists, fitness and conditioning coaches.

I get that if they’re an ex-pro and no longer training daily at high intensity then they’ll pork up a bit. But surely they can get over it with advice, training and nutrition?!

Everybody quotes Brighton and Brentford and bemoans our inability to match them in their club organisational set up and particularly scouting prowess.

Well here's some news for you, 80 odd other clubs in the football league are in the same boat as us. It looks like they have stolen a march on how to set themselves up to unearth new talent. But, like everything in football, things will even themselves out in the end. Others will catch up - either by emulating them and doing it better, or finding other ways. That's the way the cookie crumbles. The top dogs will always be the top dogs. Yep there will always be the odd Newcastle case with new silly amounts of money..... like there was Man City and Chelsea before them, going back to Blackburn in the 90s and even Wigan 20 years ago punching crazily above their weight.

The ridiculous money in football now is sapping my love for the game. If Blades weren't in it I doubt I would even watch a PL game on TV. Its a fuckin pantomime.
I pray for the day the money bubble bursts - let it fuck off to Germany or Italy or wherever. I just want my football back.

But 80 odd clubs don’t manage their contract renewals in such a haphazard way. And if 80 clubs sell their best players, and if they do some have a replacement lined up who is adequately scouted and get be brought in contemporaneously. And 80 odd clubs do the bulk of theirr business before the season is underway so they don’t start in abject chaos.

We can’t keep excusing the complete mess of the summer on the basis the “Premier League is hard”. Much of it was the clubs making and led to the season being over before it began.

Comfort eating when you the money we’ve wasted on Souza, Hamer, Traore, Trusty etc?

Wilder is much better than Hecky. That’s a no brainer.

But no one really expected us to stay up with our recruitment and start to the season.

And 60 odd of those 80 clubs have not had 3 promotions in the last 6/7 years - 2 of which were to the Premier League. FFS yeah things aren't looking good atm, but we must have done something right since our descent into the stench of La Threega. One of those 80 odd clubs - ie the Pigs, would certainly swap places with us.
Things are shite, yep I agree but let's keep a balance to our arguments.

Tbh one of the things that pissed me off most last night was that fuckin VAR decision. Another example of why I hate PL football. If it takes 3 minutes to forensically dissect a situation then rule out a goal, it is in my opinion absolute total bollocks. It saps any raw emotion from the game, that evolved into the spectacle it is now, out of sheer raw emotion.

They eat too much?
