That’s it Wilder’s gone!

Dean Smith and John Terry, another blow for the pigs

 

[grafikhaus]

Do we have any fans who do this about Wednesday related things? I don't mean laughing at their bull but actually making things up to say about them?
We've had a constant stream this year; the manager; our record transfer fee; players leaving; fake assaults on innocents.
It's past a joke.

The pigs were jealous when Bassett and Warnock were our managers and they're utterly spewing now that we've got cult-hero CW. The reason United fans don't invent de-stabilising tosh like this up about any of the Wednesday managers is that - for at least 40 years, and probably much longer - they haven't had a single manager with the style and charisma to match the aforementioned three.

Yet another difference between us and them. They think managers - and players - come 'off the peg'. We know they've got to buy into 'The Blades Way'.

Wilder could retire off the villa job because he wouldn’t fail there, that’s my only worry because I’d be tempted if I was him.

You cannot be serious!!! CW would be on a hiding to nothing at Villa. As a bunch of self-entitled cunts, their fans are up there with Wednesday. If CW didn't have them walking the Championship, it wouldn't be a cabbage, it'd be an entire fruit & veg. shop.

Don't worry, there'll be another 'big' Championship club sacking their manager along soon and this nonsense will all start again. It's just wishful thinkng on their part.

Interesting article in Birmingham Live where Scott Hogan is criticising Steve Bruce and saying he stopped him Joining Sheffield United in the summer by saying he was part of his plans.

It's a relief that Villa have gone for Smith, but it's also fair to say that United have to realise that CW is only another season & decent league placing away from where Smith is now. I think you'll see a Villa surge now, playing a lot more positive attacking football, and I think you'll definitely see a Brentford stutter, if not a fall away. It might be the end of them as a force.

That's bang on FF. But she'll stink as well.

Any pics? Asking for a friend

As has already been mentioned, Smith is a small part of the Brentford operation. I see Brentford going for a progressive manager off the continent and continuing to develop. I admire their strategy.

Smith and Terry is as likely to end in failure as success, partly because of the assistant.

Interesting as many believed it was a wages issue, never got to that stage. I’d have him on loan in Jan if we are unable to secure a couple of permanents.

I'm quite happy for Wilder to be linked with any managerial vacancy going as it means he is doing something right and keeps United in the headlines. All managers move on but just ride the wave while we can. By the way, what were Jos' odds for the Villa job?

I also see them recruiting from abroad, but I also see them failing. Firstly, the 'group' have bought into the manager's 'vision'. He's now left, they'll be bereft. Unless they promote one of their coaches upwards, no matter who they appoint, they'll be upheaval.

Those two as 1 & 2 must be one of the strangest appointments ever.

I actually know someone who's asked Skybet to price up Terry nailing Smith's Mrs during his tenure... He's awaiting a response

It'd be bad enough for a new manager inheriting him as a player, but to be burdened with him as your No. 2 is mind boggling. DS will have enough on his plate dealing with the 'strong characters' in the dressing room, without having to worry about JT's 'strong character'. You'd want him stood in front of your at all times where you can see him and you'd want a couple of the backroom staff to jump him, wrap him in a wet towel and insert some kind of tracking device into him with a big pointy stick (like what they stick on sharks or turtles), so you can track him in real time and send alerts to your phone when he was near a teammates/your house. Casanova. Lothario. Letch.

It's like the Moyes scenario at Man Utd, but with different 'strong characters' in the dressing room.

I think it's interesting how FLDC didn't show much interest in him.

To be fair, they do have Steve from X-Factor at the back.

They are for making kapushka

Oooh I love Kate Bush.

If Villa had any sense they would be looking at Wilder. I suspect however they will be drawn into appointing a glamour manager.

If our board have any sense, if an approach does come, then the answer will end in off.

And what about the inevitable "release clause" that we no doubt agreed to insert in his recent contract?

And what about the inevitable "release clause" that we no doubt agreed to insert in his recent contract?

What about the fact that, in practical terms, they can’t stop him? He’s not on a players’ contract. They can refuse an approach but he can still resign if he wants and all they can do is scream ‘tapping up’ and threaten the other club until they agree compensation.

And if Wilder wants to go, why try to stop him? It didn’t work for Watford with Silva.

 

[coaxingstar71]

Perhaps I'm being a bit naive, but I just don't see Wilder going to another club unless :-

a) We sack him
or (more plausibly)
b) Our board piss him off so much he has no option.

The only concern I have is the outcome of the ownership battle at the club and the aftermath.
In true Blades fashion, we'll probably piss promotion and then there will chaos in the boardroom, Wilder will leave after delivering an ultimatum, we won't sign anyone and be forced to sell all our best players, yet fight manfully and get relegated on the final day by finding some new unlucky way of getting relegated.

It's a relief, but I'm more relieved that Stoke have won the last two.
