OK so I was very upset last night when I heard we were getting super Danny Wilson to manage our beloved team and I maybe ranted at the computer more than I should have done.
Firstly for me was the fact that Wilson doesn't seem to have done a great deal since his Barnsley days. To be fair that Barsley team was a cracking one and I will never forget the day they beat us at the lane in their promotion season
Secondly the realisation that we weren't going to get a "big name" manager with a "guarantee" of promotion at the helm deflated me somewhat.

The fact the guy had managed and played for Wednesday made no bearing on his employment, in my opinion he is a professional and previous allegencies do not come into football when you take a job on.
Having heard his interview today I thought well (or should I say hey) let's give the guy a chance.
Obviously he is going to have to sell most of the team and to be fair there aren't that many I would keep myself. No doubt we will see a few of the young lads come through,motivated by Pemberton and no doubt with a directive to "play football" maybe they will do ok for us. I also feel having the new "coach" chasing them up and down should ensure they know what's expected of them.

From feeling devastated last night to hearing Wilson speak today and seeing Morgan there I sort of felt reassured that we are definately at last going to see some football at BDTBL.
Should we have kept Adams ? Who knows ,would he have continued where he left off, losing to many games. At least with Wilson we can no longer say being a blade is a resume for the job
So Danny managing the blades is going to be the toughest job you have ever undertaken,a heartfelt goodluck from me ......... now go and wipe the smug smiles from the faces of those in S6 who once adored you.

some sense makers are much welcomed after the negative tripe on here.

Very well said Alien. We all speak from the heart from time to time and it's good to get things off your chest. I'll join the metaphorical lynch mob as soon as the next Blade if DW fails to deliver but surely he deserves to take the exam before we mark him 'Fail'.

I salute you and have enrolled you as an honorary RAPFA member, even though you drink lager. :beer:
 
We don't have a choice, do we? He's here, he's not going anywhere any time soon. We have to swallow it and hope that he'll come good. I don't think it will happen myself but I'd be delighted to be proved wrong. All I want is the chance to rub those piss-taking piggy snouts in their own fucking shite come next May. I can dream, can't I?

No doubt some of the kids will get to play, due to a lack of funds. Well done, Holmes. Motivated by Pembo, though? Fairly sure they'll be motivated by whoever is in charge of the first team, and not by the youth team coach. Similarly, whatever tactics they learn with the kids is not forced to come through when they get a chance under the pressure of the first team
 
With you Alien, I have had my standard 48 hour strop. Let's get on with it.

Let's hope our pig get's promoted 1st

Surely this is all common sense? Well done for saying it though. Like most, I'm not impressed with the appointment, but then none of the shortlist filled me with joy, and there wasn't a single name realistically linked with us that stood out. We have to face the fact that, right now, we are a club in the doldrums. No, we're a club in the shit. Most of the established playing staff wants or needs to move on, there's little to no money, the less said about the board the better, and the single glimmer of hope is only potential. It's depressing, but we pretty much got the best we could.

The protest was a total embarrassment, but then so are the people who name-call, score points on others or think they're somehow better because they got a B in A-Level English. At the end of the day, we all support the same crappy club, and I'd like to hope that people will realise this before August, and the boo-boys are going to give Wilson time.

Probably half-time in the first game.
 
Great post Alien ,I've sat back and just watched the shitstorm evolve and must admit I wasn't impressed with the Wilson decision ,but after hearing him I am warming and the guy must have balls of steel to take the challenge.
We musn't let the grunters think they have one up on us ,he was simply employed by them and is not a pig as they seem to think. Fuck em it will be very sweet taking points off them this season.
 
Yep! nice one Alien. Sums it up nicely for me though I missed out on the 24 hour strop bit! Again, not my choice but hey, who realistically were we going to get. Wilson ticks a fair few boxes when you sit back and think about it and I think the guy has bollocks taking the job anyway.
I liked his interview and he immediately started usung the phrase this 'football club' as he used to regularly in his Barnsley days - It was never just 'Barnsley' it was always Barnsley Football Club :-).
More important is what budget he has to work with and how he uses the younger players, the mix has to be the right one.

I just wonder if some of the dummy spitters (aka attention seekers) might be regretting their embarrassing strop? Methinks maybe not as some feckers, in this day of media hype, get their kicks from simply being in front of a camera, just in case they get spotted.

Someone earlier on here described them as 'true blades', that was fuckin funny! :-)

Have you noticed he doesn't seem to buy much of it though Pinch??

Heres an extract from an interview in the Swindon newspaper from a couple of years ago. The love doesn't look particularily strong

I’m not interested in that old club, I’m more interested in Swindon Town quite honestly,” he told the Advertiser.

“Listen, it’s been from one disaster to another at Sheffield Wednesday over about 15 years, so nothing surprises you at all.

“But it is of no consequence to me and doesn’t interest me.”
