I think Wilder would do a good job at a club less-expected to do well... i've got a feeling he might ply out a career of being at under-dog clubs, but actually not so good at sticking with em once he achieves success
Think Wilder has a touch of Nathan Jones about him....think both are excellent "old school" managers, the type I actually like.
They're both passionate/ emotional, probably over emotional, great listen for the fans, at least they aren't boring, reveal nothing managers.
They both have high standards...demand 100% effort....almost at bully level (which is going out of fashion)....everyone is in no doubt who the boss is.
Think that style of motivation works well in the non league and lower leagues however higher class players don't accept being shouted at.
Think this would be a good fit.
Huddersfield are local to his home and now his stock has fallen, probably one of the more attractive jobs he could realistically be offered.
Regards Huddersfield, Wilder's CV is very impressive, he knows the Championship well, it's just his last 2 jobs recent that have failed.
There was high pressure and expectation at Boro and Watford were the wrong type of club, none of his motivational talk would work there.
Wouldn't surprise me if the Prince and Bettis have sounded Wilder out.
Telling him if we're in the bottom 3 at Christmas, then does he fancy a return and Wilder probably said, he's interested.
This is fair because I don't think we should meekly accept relegation, every other club changes their manager to try to shake things up.
If Hecky does struggle and a gap opens then I'm not sure about Wilder but at least it's like throwing a stick if dynamite at the problem, could go either way.
