Its safe to say a large portion of the fan base is extremely disappointed, sad, even angry about Wilders departure. I'm sure we'll get the details surrounding it eventually.
The thing that sticks out for me is that none of the backroom staff have left, just him.
I don't mind where Wilder goes next but I'd be surprised if he goes to Celtic. I thought he had more ambition than playing the annual tallest dwarf contest with Rangers.
Although Heckingbottom isn't everyones first choice clearly he does manage a team in the U-23's that play the same style as the first team so its a safe choice.
Next season then.
Is Howe a realistic target for the next permanent manager? Does bringing in Tindall help with this? Yes he had a poor managerial career at Bournemouth but he is a good coach. I think we all know that Knill is the Peter Taylor to Wilders Brian Clough so I'm quite happy that he has stayed.
If the promise of investment is true as is the plan to retain the core group of first team players then we'll be in great shape to come back stronger in the Championship next season. All remains to be seen.
But what else do people want to see A) until the end of the season and B) happen in the summer?
