Wilder is most forward-thinking manager in The Premier League

[Fred Furniss's Flatulence]

I could be wrong but I think CW has said it himself, in regard to effort, training and fitness etc.

Ok. That's great, a positive angle... I was seeing this from the Crooks/Mills axis of evil and wondered where culpability rested.

To be fair I think Wilders famous one liner at a LMA awards dinner. “Old school is new school” hasn’t helped the media’s perception of him.

Agree with ISC, think Wilder has said a few times that he still has old school management values (same school as Dave Bassett).

Wilder is honest and up front with the players...at times one of the lads..but clearly the boss who demands 100% effort and attitude.
Anyone with a poor attitude or any PL pre-madonna types won’t last long under Wilder. No one crosses Chris Wilder and gets away with it.

This is different to many other clubs because they use the new school European system of employing first team coaches
Where as Wilder is old school in that he is clearly the manager who controls just about everything at a club.

Agree -The football manager as the hub of everything that goes on is definitely 'old school' and the only system that works at a club oyr size i.m.o.

Because of his success Wilder has earned that right. Clough was given it on a plate and blew it
