Wilder In Or Out Poll

[Edgar Allan Poo]

This. That game changed with the VAR decision. They used that to drive forward, we shrank into our shell.

VAR decision that goes against you, players colliding with each other and knocking themselves senseless, seagull flying over and shitting on your expensive hot dog, these are all chance elements that can happen to any team in any game.

What we can legislate for is not taking strikers off, replacing them with midfielders, crossing our collective fingers and trying to sit on a one goal lead which has cost us more than once.

Of course Sunderland were going to attack, they were only one goal behind. Of course their fans were going to get behind them. Of course this tactic was going to put us under pressure again. I just can't see why Chris can't see this.

 

[Bookers Mullet]

“We tried something different once and it didn’t work, so let’s never change”.

The mantra of unsuccessful people.

And let's face it we hardly committed to Slav, we gave him no resources to build his team, he was stuck with Wilders players who were that drilled in one formation they couldn't play any other way

I can’t take anymore of score and defend all game. Sorry I just can’t and I don’t care if it’s successful at times it isn’t when it matters

Vastly reduces your options for clubs to support then. I don’t like it anymore than you, and hasn’t worked well for us this season. However, nearly every coach sets up to defend deep and counter once in front and many so called “lesser clubs” have achieved great success employing this approach as their default (Leicester won the Premier League doing little else!).

 

[Rufus Smalls]

Don’t agree the recruitment in the Summer was very good January bloody awful his team selections and substitutions and tactics baffling performances boring
But mostly he showed his limitation's on Dec 26 when Soutter got injured
He had 37 days (6 weeks) to find a replacement a chunk of that 10 million could have been used to find a CH ( not just here but also scouted across Europe and beyond )

And then the CH he did buy, he doesn’t pick regularly.

Unbelievable.

 

[Bladesman101]

I don’t think wilder likes the current playing style and I don’t think he plans on playing like it forever. How can you say we should get rid of a manager like Wilder? I honestly think you might be deluded. He’s just got the club 92points losing out to 2 teams getting 100 points. He’s definitely made mistakes but he’s solely responsible for the recruitment we’ve done this year!

Who on earth do you think we should go and get? So deluded to think we can do better than him

 

[Pollingtonblade]

How has Wilder gone from being absolutely lauded first time round even begrudgingly by some other fans to being a figure of hate who everyone wants to see fail in such a short space of time?

 

[Balham]

I’m pretty sure it was Nick Jansky who summed up my views accurately and succinctly: bringing Wolder back was always going to end with the fans split.

We need a fresh start, a new approach and the club United.

 

[JayGreen17]

Back door Chris should walk through that same door

Because he’s a cop out, coward, doesn’t match his words with actions.

We don’t have the players to do it against the good sides no pace whatsoever so why do it . Fresh start needed

 

[Wincobank S9 Blade]

Unless he walks again, no way he leaves after a new contract so I’d just get this out of our heads whether you love him or loath him

There will be severance terms written into contracts that protect both the club and manager in case of dismissal. I very much doubt he'd get the whole contract paid up for failure. He'd likely receive a percentage.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Bloody hell you’re even more pessimistic than me!

I am right now

So your’re not a fan?

 

[Iffy Onuora's Shiny Head]

If you break down the first team squad, he really doesn't have a good record of purchasing or loaning players.

There's probably 3 successes there, which is Cooper, Burrows and Campbell. But Cooper was clearly a good player, it was his injury record as to where the risk was, and Campbell can seemingly only last 60 mins. The rest have been either extremely average or just downright poor

Then you look at the rest of the squad, and you've got a mix of youth players or Hecky signings, which is where most of the quality and resale value is.

 

[Harry's Game]

I think we should look at a fresh start and new ideas.

 

[Tanny1889]

Why he got a new contract baffled me at the time and bet the owners are regretting that now.

I’d like a freshen up, a manager willing to look abroad with recruitment (probably aligns with new owners vision) and having a distinctive style rather than passing it to Hamer and hope he does something. Won’t be able to do that next season as he won’t be here.

If Wilder is still here, he’s needs to do a lot of thinking and learning from his mistakes over the summer, hopefully coming to the realisation Jack Robinson is toss & that we need an 11 who can last the full 90.

I don't think very many if any have any hate for wilder , think that goes for the players and owners too.
Ultimately the board will decide on the way forward, if it's with a new management and coaching staff then so be it as they sign the cheques .
If it's the case wilder will be held in high esteem by most , rightly so . No shame in what he's achieved but someone at the top will decide if sticking with him represents moving forward which we clearly need to do .

 

[jt64]

Leave him in, with the sole focus being on coaching the first team. Bring in a DoF and enhance the recruitment/scouting teams for the separate job of transfers/contracts etc. If it is looking like Wilder can do one job, let it ride. If he can't do one job, then out for someone who can

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

I think he will keep his job but if the team get off to poor start maybe first 10 games,then the knives will be out,a loss to pigs (if we meet early in season) would be a blow to him and compound the knfe sharpening.

Do we ever learn?
We’ve tried the “let’s change the culture/ style” thing with Brian Robson and Slavisa Jukanovic……our fans never accept it and those players were quickly sacked.

Imagine a Kevin Keegan, high risk attacking style. One week we win 5-0…the week after we lose 0-4.
Our fans wouldn’t accept the 0-4 and quickly conclude the manager is a naive idiot and needs to go.

We don’t want to be like a Hull City or Watford…..constantly trying different managers,

So because drunk Bryan Robson didn't work and Slav who never got the players he needed didn't work you don't want to change the clubs style and culture. Maybe you should prepare for failure because doing the same over and over isn't working clearly.

One of whom was unpopular with the fans and was backed my McCabe and had decent players but was a busted flush and utterly useless and one who was a fairly popular choice initially and was never properly backed.

 

[Kona]

I’d get rid, reluctantly.

We threw away automatic promotion and then yesterday by sitting back. Yes, the VAR decision didn’t help, but the things that we could control we didn’t do well. The negative approach in the second half and the subs just invited pressure.

He was well backed in January and didn’t address the glaring need for a centre half. The one he brought in, he didn’t play. Presumably Holding wasn’t fit enough, but this was known given he’d not played hardly in 2 years, so why do it? A waste of money.

Sums it up perfectly, in my view.

Fucking hell Sean at first glance I thought it was a fax machine ( really must sort new glasses)
We'd be really fucked then

 

[blade_ben]

If and a big if he stays he needs to freshen up the staff. Knilly needs to retire. Need someone to challenge Wilder. A younger assistant with some newer ideas.

 

[bladegomm]

Options are like arseholes… everyone has one. With the team wilder has we should be punishing teams! Yes we got to 90 odd points which he keeps banging on about but we didn’t get promoted. The players play the system he wants. We should of gone for it in that second half but again we sit back and this time is proper punished us. The problem we also have we don’t have players quick enough to break fast. Wilder knows himself he’s going to lose crucial players and time will tell with the owners on the recruitment.

 

[WayneAllison]

I would have no major problem with Wilder carrying on

However Steve Cooper with a decent budget next season has a good ring too it

No, we just want 1 new manager, meaning Wilders been fucked off!
