CONFIRMED Wilder gone

[Aston max]

Do I like CW ?? Yes he'll always have a special place in my heart and gave me some great memories (nearly up there with John Harris)
but do I think he's the correct choice for what we all know is a major rebuild with the playing staff then no !!
I think if the rumours of a impending takeover are true then we'll see a major overhaul with the new owners bringing in a different coaching team
The traditional manager position is disappearing !!

I know he went to Silverdale but lived on the other side of the city. Something about his dad knowing a teacher there who managed to get him a place.


Although it's true CW and Baltic both went to Silverdale, we weren't there at the same time.

Forgive my ignorance, but I don't know what you mean by 'Maud Maxfield pupils'.

I suspect you may be referring to what was known as The Deaf Unit in the period I was at Silverdale.

When I started at Silverdale CW was the most 'famous' alumni I think. I was there at the same time ad Michael Vaughan. It won't surprise anyone to learn that Vaughan was a massive

I bet he were right popular and nobody knew who you were.

I was well known as 'The Baltic Blade'

Only people with emotional hate (acting like they'd been jilted by an ex on the wedding day) disagreed with the decision.

Nonsense, I was fully on ‘Team Wilder’ when he left agreeably/quit/was sacked the first time around.

I still think having him back was a stupid decision and did at the time we appointed him.

All it’s done is highlight our nature as a club who are happy to never move forward and try something different.

We even tried ‘different’ with Slav and then signed players who didn’t fit into the system he wanted to play and he soon failed.

The whole concept of bringing Wilder back and then surrounding him with some Bladey Blade pals makes my skin crawl and shows us up for the ‘upandatem’, perennial underdog that we seem to enjoy being.

What stays in a NDA stays in one, what one person does for a job where nothing has changed shows someone who is desperate for a job and has promised to accept everything the chairman says and does. Wilder is the yes man and the Prince knows why.

And you also know why, despite the NDA…

He didn’t get an NDA. The Prince just told him FO.

The decision to bring back Wilder made full logical sense at the time.
Only people with emotional hate (acting like they'd been jilted by an ex on the wedding day) disagreed with the decision.
When appointing anyone you first, do a job spec, then try to identify people who fit that job spec.

The job spec would have been
1: Someone relatively cheap, who was willing to accept a short term contract.
2: Someone desperate enough to take a job knowing there was a 99% chance of them failing and having a relegation on their CV.
3: Someone that knows that club and can identify with our fans.
4: Someone with experience of fighting relegation battles in the PL and gaining promotion from the Championship.
5: Someone with charisma who can speak well in front of the cameras, so the fanbase remains relatively positive.

Looking at the above there's no one with those factors apart from Wilder.

The season was virtually over and we looked down already, so could argue we should have kept Hecky.
A fair amount of the fanbase wanted us to accept relegation and keep Hecky because they liked him.

Give me strength, what has liking someone got to do with it. I probably like Hecky more than Wilder
but under Hecky he was just accepting defeat and trying to keep the score down, even his post match interviews were monotone nothingness.
We hardly ventured into the opposition half and was never remotely competitive under Hecky, something had to change.

Personally I don't care too much about results but I do care about performances and these improved greatly under Wilder.
However ironically playing positive, more attacking football trying to win games made us so vulnerable to the counter attack.
Hence the big defeats under CW, altho suspect some Blades would have preferred us to park the bus packing the defence like a league 2 side
and lose every match 2-0. My concern was we needed to do something to beat Derby's record low points record.

Charisma???

Has he actually been sacked, or has some thundercunt decided to bump an old thread?

I was there a bit after you then. I heard Vaughan was a bit like that but we at least had some great gear from him winning all the school tournaments for us .
