Wilder interview

[Houston_Blade]

Yeah but he couldn't establish us in the Premier League

If he’d have got us there again he might have got another crack this season. But he didn’t and he hasn’t

Great Wilder interview, he looks as tanned as Trump

Thought it was an episode of Bargain Hunt with David Dickinson.

90 points was a great tally.

We didn’t go up.

These are both facts

 

[The Crab]

I agree. In my 57 years with the club the successful managers(won promotion) have been Harris, Porterfield, Bassett, Warnock, Wilder, Hecky. All experienced and or with promotions on their cv. The rookies we have had have a 100% failure rate. Some have managed to get us relegated. This has never been a club for rookies due the always dodgy finances. Selles has very little chance of succeeding.

I agree.

Whoever has been in the board room, in the dugout, the one common denominator has been a relative lack of spending power. And when we have spent, it’s usually turned out to be a duck egg

 

[BangorBlade]

You can go on forever about 90 or 92 pts, but It came down to one game, irrespective of the points over 46 and we lost, move on

Yea agree with you Pintor to a certain extent but having failed with 90/92 points youd think the COH/Bettis would have stuck with the same manager and carried on with build.
Like you said chum we move on in the hope this can be turned around

This thread is like a playground

When your up your own arse you can easily get stuck up there.
That’s where Wilder went wrong.

He got much more right than he ever got wrong .

I can't be arsed to watch the interview see I'm a United supporter not a Chris Wilder supporter. While the up and at em brigade love the pashun and badge thumping it all means feck all the bloke is an irrelevant failure who has done very well out of Sheffield United, I'm glad to see the back of the cnut. Do we really have to go over this old ground every time we have a poor result.

Going to be a long season and the board will be boring

 

[Kenilworth]

Outside the 'bubble' almost every footy fan Ive spoke to are thinking what the fuck have Sheff Utd done.

This. ^^^^^**
Every single one - and I live way outside the bubble and talk to mates with no Blades affiliation.
They are dumbfounded by the whole situation.

We have to move on but we’d still be shit in division 3 without him. We’d not have had the Prem seasons.
By all means feel good about a change but don’t rewrite history. Whatever money Wilder made out of his management he bloody well earned.

Maybe they would have stuck with him a bit longer, but I believe they're looking for a more modern approach not a manager who at times got the club fined and bad press for his actions on and off the field, Wilder is a legend imo for what he did first time around, but time moves on and I feared for his health tbh near the end

Absolutely. I understand the criticisms of CW and agree with some of them but the decision COH made was bonkers and could set us back years. I could have understood the decision if they replaced CW with someone like Cooper or O'Neil but not RS. I cannot understand why anyone looking at this objectively would think differently.

I really hope to be proved wrong and I have nothing against RS. He seems a decent, intelligent guy and I hope he does well However, as a seasoned Blade I know how things can spiral downwards really quickly.I feel like I have been here many times before. I am getting whiffs of the bad old days and periods of decline with the likes of Sirrell, Haslam, Peters, McEwan, Woolhouse, Charles Green, Mike McDonald, Heath, Robson etc. and I am thinking OMG here we go again!!

Maybe, just maybe, I will be proved to be wrong and it is just that decades of being a Blade is conditioning me to expect the worse. If there is a way of cocking thins up, SUFC will find it and do it. It is the SUFC way

As daft as this might sound m8 I actually think they thought was Wilder was too powerful at the lane.
