Wilder by the looks of it

[Russtheblade]

So let me get this right if Wilder says sorry I put my self first by legging it out of the back door when the going got tough, then we should all forgive him and get behind him ?
I don't rate Heckingbottom never have done but given a choice of him or Wilder then Heckingbottom wins hands down all day long, infact I would sooner have Megson than Wilder.

Wash your mouth out with soap, ridiculous

Out of all the managers in the world, Wilder is the only one we can think of to dig us out of a hole.

There is no way out of this hole we've dug for ourselves. The squad is not good enough to be competitive, even without our insane injury list. There's no getting away from that fact. There's not a man alive that could get us up the table and I'm utterly convinced of that. It's not that we're total shit, it's just the levels.

I don't see what Wilder could bring to the table which would make us better. More than happy to be proved wrong should he return.

 

[adiosmiamigo]

He wouldn't be reneging on it, he'd have to pay him for the remainder of it.
But it seems bonkers to me.

On with the Motley.

 

[Russtheblade]

So Heck'y got a four & a half tear contract that the owner is now going to renege on ?

If there's going to be a change (and I still have doubts, even though it's all over social media),
Then I think it's something Heck'y has agreed to, I really don't think our owner reneges on deals despite what some fans might think of him,
nor does he allow things to come out of the club without his permission, information wise the club is as tight as a ducks arse.
The next few days will be interesting whatever the outcome (and there's only one outcome) at Arsenal.

He will go back to his old role if it happens(which I dont want)he likes to be working with players,on the grass, no way he'd go upstairs, he's happy at The Lane,his wife & young family are at home,settled

Pass that barge pole love…Wilders coming.

You have walk in with eyes wide open. Know the club, know you cant spend, know the players, know what they can do and play a system they already know inside out.Yeah, we were found out, but we also got some points out of it. More than Hecky is doing currently. There’s literally only one man to fit the bill, a gamble yes ! But as we know, HRH won the club on a gamble and Hecky was also a gamble he won.

It's about time this gamble stopped and the owner moved on. Drop the price and go.

 

[BobblesBlade]

KEEP IT LOCAL. ITS ALL WE KNOW.

WHEN WE GET RELEGATED JUST STAY DOWN.

 

[Yoonited]

Explain how he disrespected us as a club and fanbase? Because he wanted to leave and left?
Was he really looked upon by board members as a sunday league manager given the Prince kept saying he wanted to keep him on?

I agree if anyone is coming in it's disrespectful to Hecky. And it's not all on hecky either we had a terrible summer of planning 2nd to perhaps Wednesday.

BUT just remember that Wilder got us really going like we haven't seen for many years. He assembled a squad that seemed to be greater than the sum of it's parts and achieved alot within 4 years. His final season was bad, but like we have said it was a perfect cocktail of covid (no crowds) some poor transfers overall, loss of JOC and I think something was up with the fitness of the squad in general that season or basically post covid as we didn't look the same after the restart either.
Don't disrespect what Wilder did for us too, just like you shouldn't Warnock or Bassett.

Yes he was looked upon as that.I have that info first hand.I have never claimed to be in the know but that was shared with me via a source who heard it first hand
I think it was disrepectful to take 4 million from a club that you supposedly love,knowing it will have potential future negative impact.4 fucking million reward for ultimate failure.,ie not keeping us in the prem.
I cringed at those interviews hanging out some players to dry when he seemed incapable of implementing a plan b.Plan A worked until teams found a way to negate it.
I, like anyone enjoyed us going toe to toe in the first prem season.Got really bored with the continual insistance of deploying tactics that were no longer effective in the second,culminating in a mardy arsed manager who rarely if ever took any responsibility for persisting with an inflexible system.
The Messiah took the plaudits when the going was good but sloped off when it turned to shit.
Some of us are still awaiting an analysis of why and how,from our ....fellow blade, which is never happening I know and yet here some are itching for his return to once again perform miracles.
I don't care much for short termism,which I see a Wilder appointment as.
I'm interested in the long term prospects of SUFC.
If Wilder had been he may well have chosen to stay,but Sunday league managers seek glory,celebrated with crates of beer.
I think it's time for intelligent forward thinkers,capable of navigating the premier league shitfest, to create a long awaited philosophy capable of sustaining a workable model that satisfies those of us invested,emotionally and financially in our club.
Let's move toward that and stop repeating the same behaviours that contribute to odd moments of hope,but ultimate also ran status.
Warnock has arguably proved to be a short termist over his long career.
Wilder belongs for me in the same category.
Moreover,who,other than some of our nostalgic fans, are metaphorically queueing up for his signature?

 

[crazyblade1889]

If Wilder joins now he’s gone before the end of the season. Probably with another couple of million in his back pocket. The blokes a shithouse and his mates are wankers. He deserves dogs abuse. Grade A cunt

 

[1987]

If an outsider read these posts, they would honestly think CW came in and destroyed the club. Utterly bizarre.

A lot of the same people slagging him off for walking, will have been the same ones baying for him to get the sack before he went.

he wasnt for the first 4 years absolutely brilliant manager nobody is gonna save us this season but this set of players are not playing for hecky somethings wrong has to be a change of manager whether its wilder or anybody else

 

[Ludgblade64]

So negative from Sheffield United'

This is why he needs to go, not had a shot at goal to note, he is too negative.

I'm not saying Chris Wilder will improve us, but he won't allow the players to show no fight, as a fan he will have watched most matches, he will play front foot football, not negative football, you can't defend for 90mins, and expect a positive result

 

[UddersBlade]

Very sad - but it’s time for a change. I know it’s Arsenal today, but if you also look at West Ham & Fulham - our tactics & set up are so negative. I know it’s difficult with a weaker squad, but some if his decisions & substitutions are just head scratching. A great 2 years Hecky & I hope you can take a role back with the U21/U18’s.

For me - it can’t get any worse, so I’ve changed my mind & would role the dice again with Chris Wilder.

I’m in the exact same camp as you, reason I don’t mind Wilder back (can’t believe I’m even saying it as I never wanted him back) is because I feel as a club we always do best when their is pure emotion to us. It’s a real gamble as it could end in disaster or some kind of miracle

 

[Working Class Hero]

We're now officially the worst team in Premier League history after 10 games, and everything points to us taking Derby's record.

If that's not a reason to change the manager, and at least try something different, then what on earth is!?

 

[YES Blade]

I honestly think the Prince could offer to give the club away for nothing and there would be no takers other than a load of charlatans.

The players aren’t up to the required level. Nothing about not playing for the manager.

 

[drblade]

But I don’t think the promotion team of Wilder’s were either but as a collective it worked and we finished 9th.

So was Bassett team in 90. Can we bring him back instead? At least he’s not a wanker

 

[drblade]

Indeed. My point is not wanting Wilder back but Hecky doesn’t seem able to get the best out of the collective.

 

[tincan]

The turd played relegation football for the Smoggies, then Watford after wasting £130m to destoy our PL 21 season. If HRH wants to take us back to League then the turd is your man.
The coaching isnt currently good enough as whatever Hecky tells the PL to do, they dont do it. Graham Potter knows how to shore up a leaky defence from his Brighton days and we need a magician.

 

[SU93]

We g

Didnt we get promoted in 2nd place last year under Hecky?

We did. Now we may offer difference of opinions but that Championship season was a poor Championship. My point is proven even more with how Luton and Burnley are also performing in the Premier League. Thankfully we had a worldie of a player in Ndiaye who at times carried the squad on his own. There were countless matches last season I came out thinking we performed "Okay" at best. Comparing to Wilder who gave me personally the best times of watching United. Bar the last season he managed of course.

Areight Chris..oh wait no, you can spell and string a few sentences together..Soz.

 

[The Steel Roses]

So the stories are we lose v Arsenal and taxi for Hecky, which brings back the Chris Wilder who promoted us twice in three seasons and built an 11 to finish 9th in the top tier of English football. Some say yes, but from what I’ve seen a large chunk of blades don’t want him back. Everyone’s entitled to their opinion but what has shocked me is the disrespect towards CW. You’ve got to remember what he achieved before that horrendous 20/21 campaign and let’s be honest blades, we wouldn’t be where we are right now if it wasn’t for CW/AK and all the rest of his back room staff. If Wilder comes in which I’m sure he will, best of luck and I’m backing him all the way. 2 wins from safety, we need a rocket up these players arses because Wilder loves this club. And let’s be honest, if he keeps us up from this position, he’ll definitely go down as one of our best servants of the club (if he isn’t already)

Good luck Hecky, but from the speculation I feel your times up very soon. Thanks for everything. And if Wilder comes in, let’s get behind him starting from Wolves next Sat


UTB

We need to get Wilder in now and managers bring their personalities across to the teams style of play, we need personality, then I may have to stop leaving games early or switching channels to watch other teams.
I’ve been obsessed with the blades 44 years or more but they bore the shit out of me right now

 

[Old Programme seller]

Id rather have Warnock than Wilder, we need a manager until the end of the season and then look for a long term replacement ideally I’d like to see Carrick here not that he’ll come I think he’ll end up at a bigger premier league team

 

[Mendi]

Bring warnock back. Wilder is a risk.

Spot on. It was obvious that the team was nowhere near premiership class without some serious money being spent. Sadly our owner didn't have the finances so we find ourselves where we are, should be no surprise. Sure that the lads are trying their best but we are way out of our depth. Nowt against CW but if he comes in and turns this lot around I would be astonished.
