Press conference - cancelled

[Karaoke Blade]

FFS, what if the delayed conference was to announce Wilder staying but then last minute he's stormed off cos Van Winkel gave him a funny look?

I've never seen this Van Winkel bloke but everytime I hear his name I have a vision of a bloke wearing a long night shirt and nightcap.


I thought I'd share that with you.
UTB.

 

[Rodley]

Some quality gags on here, cheered me up.

 

[ISZA ⚔️]

Hopefully cancelled due nothing actually being there to announce. Clinging on to the hope they’ve kissed and made up.

 

[Bert]

Wilder resigns, Prince won't accept it.

Bert's theory.

 

[west_yorks_blade]

Fuck me this club is a basket case

 

[Big Hitter]

Wilder was doing double teapots I heard. Suspect the package yet to be agreed.
Groundhog Day.?

He looks like he’s had a stroke there. Hope that’s not the announcement

 

[GroovyBrad]

Cant wait to get home, crack stellas open and watch all this continue to unfold

Gettin reyt spciey I love it

 

[benn5712]

No bollox this.
Memsahib bought a 2021 calendar, turned it over after 28 feb and went straight to April starting with 1st.
Whole of March missing. Maybe Blades bought same calendar.

This could be a stand off between CW and the board with a bit of brinkmanship lobbed in, and walls have ears.
Can't see why Prince allegedly flew in not so long back to say he would still be manager.
Is somebody else sticking their oar in ?

 

[Rodley]

It’s done but they are trying to wrap CW up in a non-disclosure agreement maybe? Can’t think they would get to this late juncture, with it being out in the press or hours, still not agreeing the key principle that a parting of ways is happening.

No news is good news. Live in Hope, die in Castleton.....

 

[originaltrueblade]

Developments at the Lane club pull press conference and rumour owing to backlash from fans and intervention by Prince Abdullah has Chris called their bluff

bloody hell I hope they have seen sense

 

[Stretch]

Fuck me this club is a basket case

Hardly a basket case. Just going through a (very) shaky patch.

 

[bromtom]

Dean Henderson seems to think it's done.

Fuck knows.

Every fucker is to blame for this, players, board, manager. Going to be an absolutely dogshit atmosphere if we're ever allowed back in haha

We begrudgingly put up with United despite them continually letting us down with only brief bursts of competence we do, we begrudgingly put up with United despite them continually letting us down with only brief bursts of competence we do, we begrudgingly put up with United despite them continually letting us down with only brief bursts of competence we doooooo, oh United, fuck off a bit will you.

 

[Mario1889]

If a club is to be successful there needs to be a good relationship between the chairman and manager.

This has been bubbling under the surface for a while and has now come to a head, the relationship is clearly not what it should be.

If the cancellation of this press conference is due to one or both parties back tracking, then it would be a mistake.

Better to just move on now.

 

[kevreedy]

I hope common sense prevails and Wilder stays, who else can get us back in the premier league.

 

[nopigfansintown]

Nothing to do with money. Resignation handed in and last minute interventions to try and reach a resolution. Can't see it happening sadly as they see the game and the future very differently. It'd take a massive climbdown from the Prince's side. It's been bubbling for years. I have to say, I fear for the future under this ownership regardless of Wilder remaining manager.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Wilder resigns, Prince won't accept it.

Bert's theory.

Mine too. For what it’s worth.

Remains to see whether he’s gone all-in to call the owner’s bluff or whether he’s so fucked off that he’s fucking off regardless.

 

[Jonboy60]

I want to know which door he went through when he left?.

 

[Chingo]

I’m back, and there’s the door........

Fuck that

 

[Woodwaaard]

Bert is a shrewd fellow

 

[Swannyblade]

 

[BlairBlade]

I would suspect it's more likely the settlement package (for him and other backroom staff).

Maybe they are trying to negotiate a relegation provision to his contract.

 

[Jake Richard Cuthbert]

Hopefully this means the board and Wilder are in talks to try and salvage the situation at the eleventh hour.

 

[Bladeloyal]

Anyone posting today about who they want as manager ,wants only one thing a right hander . respect the last 5 years

 

[Northyorksblade]

Wilder resigns, Prince won't accept it.

Bert's theory.

Bert's been known to be right before, hope he is this time.

 

[K1 flabby stick]

Fuck me this club is a basket case

That's family for you!

 

[BlairBlade]

Wilder resigns, Prince won't accept it.

Bert's theory.

Or maybe Prince re-signs Duffy and CW won’t accept it.

 

[Creamhorn]

more comebacks than Frank Sinatra

Chris has

 

[Eskimo]

Who picks the team for Sunday?
