"3..... & b. choosing his own way & turning down offered players, who performed well when acquired by other PL clubs); "

Wonder who they were?

 

[Houston_Blade]

Erm, fuck off Jim.

Me too?

 

[Chezzy Blades]

For a man who says he doesn’t know he seems awfully clued up on events over the past year or so.

 

[AlienWoodward]

He's a full blown clown

 

[yorkshirecoast]

I think Jim talks a lot of sense there.

 

[McGrath]

Why on earth would someone like Wilder, LMA Manager of the Year when in the Championship and getting record breaking promotions from 4 different divisions accept changes from a bloke who lives abroad and has attended a handful of matches.

Anyway, I don't know much about this Jim Phipps other than he was around a bit and then cleared off and he is or was an employee of the Prince.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Erm, fuck off Jim.

Not how I read it, seems like Wilder was my way or fuck off. Only one outcome there.

Reading that I think the Prince was more than fair.

Same, don't really believe it tbh.

 

[Rodley]

Deleted. I’m bored of hearing from these people now.

 

[northsomersetblade]

Well that’s the club line and there are more than a few grains of truth there imho

Yep, let’s believe a social media post by one of PA’s lickspittles

He's basically saying Wilder should the toe the line. That means a Director of Football, which therefore means signings forced upon on him. No decent manager would accept that change in circumstances

 

[AdamSufc1997]

Some of things were fair what he said i thought, ok some of targets he had we couldn't afford but why did he turn down the players he was offered(i take a punt it was foreign)

 

[Houston_Blade]

WiLdEr 8’s forRiNs

As I do this, i politely remind on rules regarding personal abuse given the feeling and emotion around today, but JimPhipps is actually here too. Perhaps he'd like to discuss?

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Yep, let’s believe a social media post by one of PA’s lickspittles

Fake account then? Well written if so.

 

[The Hecky Flecky Shake]

Genuine question what has Phipps got to do with the club anymore, why do people ask him still?

Apologies to you Foxy but for someone who apparently doesn’t know what’s going on, he makes a lot of veiled digs against someone who’s done a lot more for this club over the last 50 years than JimPhipps has. I don’t buy into the ‘I’m a huge Blade’ act.

 

[bromtom]

This is one side, on the other there's the Prince is a twat, and Wilder was wronged side.

The truth is probably somewhere in between

 

[dillis]

Jim makes some very good points and accurate observations. Don’t know why he’s getting told to fuck off.

 

[DeanLearner'sCat]

Good old Jim, complaining about Wilder "badmouthing the owner in public" like he didn't mouth off about Wilder (presumably on the owner's behalf) on Twitter in January.

 

[Yogi]

I don’t know what’s happened but here’s what’s happened ffs

 

[Houston_Blade]

Fake account then? Well written if so.

I don’t think he gives (or ever has given) a balanced perspective on Wilder. It’s likely his account but it’s very much been ‘anti-Wilder’ for a while now.

Like a lot of United fans then, from what I seem to remember. A lot of "if the Prince sacks him you couldn't really blame him" around then.

The personal abuse point wasn't aimed at anyone in particular, more just in general given the cross section of social media i've seen before I pointed that out.

I'm merely pointing out the discussing of another forum members opinion, who I'm sure is experienced and willing enough to accept others differing opinions.

 

[northsomersetblade]

The only problem with the st Christopher story is that we are comfortably bottom of the league playing spineless football and have spent a fortune on very average players

Was that a freudian slip there?
