Think it’s worth just giving into the old adage of In Wilder We Trust for this type of situation.
He was good at building a team and he will have to largely do that again.
Not all will go to plan, but he has far more know how in this space than Hecky did to be fair, so in that sense we do have someone with experience of the challenge.
With respect I’d imagine the experiences of Boro and Watford might have knocked the bit of a chip off Chris’ shoulder where perhaps he was seeing his own trajectory as above the Blades.
I do think if the two remain intertwined for the long term then both can be good for each other. There seems to be a bit more realism to that relationship this time around too.
Wilder sets high standards and as he once said “I don’t need them to be my best mates, I’ve got my own mates!”
I think he will turn things around but it may take going down to see us more capable.
If the Prince doesn’t deny him too much and Chris doesn’t get unrealistic I think we can make a decent fist of it. I don’t see too many jumping ship if we want them to stay.
Can’t say the same for Luton, a few are here for a good time not long time there and not sure Kompany has enhanced his reputation this much with his recruitment either especially given the levels of it.
Time to relax a little. It seems the pressure is off but you know Wilder will be trying his damnedest to get the team he supports back at the top table.
