Wilder’s inherited circumstances were infinitely better than Adkins’ not because of who he inherited but because of who he didn’t. Wilder had control of a retained list whereby he could immediately dump a dozen players with no financial consequence to the club. Plus we’d already shifted some on like Higdon, Collins, Alcock etc. It meant that Wilder had the opportunity to go out and build a team in his image. Adkins never got that opportunity.


I also don’t believe the following can be put down to luck


1. Back to back titles with Bangor

2. Completing Brian Laws’ work and taking Scunny to the League 1 title.

3. Re-building a Scunny side following relegation and taking them straight back up.

4. Taking Southampton from the bottom half of League 1 to the Premier league in about 20 months.


With us, he failed to make the best of what he inherited without ever getting a chance at managing his own team. No more, no less. It’s worked out well for us because we’ve got Wilder working wonders.

People want to assume he got lucky at Soton which is debatable (Pardew failed) but I think his work at Scunthorpe was impressive he had them totally punching above their weight.

I would not be surprised to see him end up back at Scunthorpe if they fail to get promoted this season.

Absolutely. I thought sacking Adkins in favour of appointing Wilder would be a mistake and am absolutely delighted to be proven wrong. I'm enjoying this season thoroughly and can't wait for the fancy dress party at MK.

Could be Scunthorpe in a couple of weeks , how results are going . Scunny chairman does a McCabe / Wilson and sacks Alexander .

Dafter things happen in football.
 
I live between skatesville and scummersville in Hampshire and got quite a few mates who are saints fans. Madkins is still a god to them down here, they don't believe me when I tell them what a shithouse he was for us, they love him.

PS....They love the fat lad too ;)
