In your opinion. I’m entitled to mine.

Sorry Ben,I was a tad rude there. It's only my opinion. Not personal. I'm just so disappointed with the situation.

We've all seen this same sketch times many.
It takes us years and years to get a sniff of any success, and usually is more good luck than any boardroom processes due to finally stumbling upon a quality manager squeezing a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
Said board now think they know what they're doing and expect sustained success on limited funds. Miracles stop. Quality manager gets arsey. Quits/sacked.
Think Bassett, Warnock, Spackman.
Resulting in another 12 years in the lower reaches waiting for a miracle worker to appear who will similarly be unappreciated, under funded, and stop achieving the impossible. Think Wilder.
Wilder is the Prince's biggest money maker. Why can't they just back him? He would never over commit the funds putting the club at risk and likely has a lot more capability to get more right than wrong than the board.
He's been denied adequate cover for injuries all season.

I would of course have preferred CW to stay and think if the majority of the squad had stayed in tact next year, supplemented by a couple of signings and a few loans, they would have been well placed to challenge. However, the cracks have been evident for quite some time. I was never a fan of how CW used his stock value to get his way with the Board previously including securing several pay increases - the flirtation with Sunderland left a particularly bitter taste. Similarly, I don't like how he attempted to publicly strongarm the Board into agreeing to what he wants for next season. Yes, he has done a magnificent job during his tenure but from the Board's perspective, you can't allow an employee to dictate terms that way, no matter how important they are.

The differences in opinion between the Board and CW in how the club, particularly recruitment, will operate moving forward appeared to be untenable so perhaps now is the right time for a split. There is essentially nothing to play for this season (barring a miracle in the cup v Chelsea) so it gives the club time to sort a DoF (is that is indeed the route they intend to go down) and a head coach and of course put in place plans for the squad.

All these people saying they're done with the club and publicly abusing the owner and Board need to grow up and consider their actions. No person is bigger than the club and they are the current custodians of it. Personally, I don't support the owners, the Board, or CW, I always have been and always will be a supporter of the club no matter how they're well or badly they're doing.

All those things you bring up as negatives “strong arm the board”. He’s doing that for the club not for himself. If I could strong arm the board into signing players to keep our club moving i would, any blade fan would, alas I can’t. But wilder could and wilder loved this club and was ambitious. Don’t worry the prince will probably assign his yes man and we’ll just f****ng stagnate in the championship forever now

You may well be proved right but unless you have a crystal ball how can you know what will transpire next season and beyond.

However, to believe that CW is the only person that could deliver success is at best misguided. One would hope with HRH's expanding network, a suitable candidate, and one that would be happier working within the structures set by the Board, will be sourced.

Do you not see the risk of the club putting all their metophorical eggs in CW's basket? What if he had received a better offer and walked in the summer? I remember a not dissimilar situation when the club allowed Clough to essentially restucture areas of the club and give himself far more power, particularly regarding recruitment and contract negotiation. Look how that ended.
 
I’m a bit fucked off that the club haven’t given us any information at all. Unless they’re still doing everything in there power to get Chris to stay, why would they not just say “wilder has left his position, subject to severance” or something along those lines. At the minute there silence is deafening and it’s just fuelling rumours.
 
Understand the delay in making any announcement on CW's future is down to the number of people involved in the negotiations, club well aware of the need to communicate with fans and hope to do so today.

Players must be feeling the same. Not the ideal preparation for Leicester tomorrow

Oh that’s going to be a blood bath. I’m still not sure hecky could take charge after managing the 23’s yesterday given what the covid protocol is.

I suspect Chris wouldn't go without agreeing a settlement or the backroom staff, as well as himself.

Possibly so but based on what ? He was the highest paid employee at the club. His moaning and groaning in recent weeks has hacked plenty off including me. I can cope with going down and if the Chris Wilder of the last few years were in charge great. The current version is not for me to be honest. Good luck to him and huge thanks ms for giving us our pride back but I am not sure Chris is looking out for everyone else right now.

I believe there was a sticking point last time he signed a new contract that he wouldn't do it until everyone else had a fair offer as well.

I'm not a fan of the current toys out of pram Chris, but he seems a decent bloke in terms of looking after people.

I hope so I really do and as you say up until the last few months has always come across that way.
