Wilder on Ched

Suspect O'Shea is looking at the current midfield and knowledge of potential other signings coming in and is thinking he may be 5th or 6th choice if he stays here.

Also it's very early in the off season.
I would imagine O'Sheas agent will be wanting to keep his options open and not rush a decision.
 



Wilder says 'ultimately'.
The re-signing has been in motion ever since Evans was sent down and it's not as if Wilder suddenly thought, out of the blue, let's sign Ched Evans and it wasn't already on the cards.
The sad thing is you can already see that next season the focus is going to be on a player who's had nothing to do with our recent success.
Signing another, different player with a genuine quality reputation would help.

Think it would be best if Wilder made the decisions.
 
Exactly what I expected. McCabes not stupid to bring in a player that's not wanted by the manager.

I still believe it's McCabes signing but Wilder was given the final say on it. Also there's no way Wilder would be pressured into accepting the signing.

Wilder is a pro, when given the chance to bring in a player that has the potential to be the best striker at the club then of course he's going to be interested. But of course Ched will now need to prove himself.

The only issue for Wilder is he doesn't want to bring in anyone with a poor attitude or someone that could damage the great team spirit within the club. Wilder will had spoke to people within the game that know Cheds character, he'll have spoken to former team mate, Sharp and especially O'Shea and our management team have then decided he's worth the risk. No surprises really.

Too much common sense there pal
 
This makes me angry. What the fuck will we row about now?

Stop being so sensible ;)

The bottom line is ...... if Tufty plays him, he thinks he can do us a job ......... if he doesn't deliver the goods he won't get played ...... simple and logical ....... and as it should be ! :rolleyes:

Sheffsteel I agree with you - the use of "ultimately" in the phrase suggests CW was happy with, and took, the final decision himself, but it implies someone else was involved initially. McCabe signing? I still think he's had a big role in it, but Wilder has been happy to go along with it.

Yeah mate but common sense like that doesn't give leverage to those who like to go on about the Ched haters.

You should know by now it's all black and white with Ched, and little room for the sensible middle ground.
 
You mean there's fans that won't accept him even if it was Wilders choice?

It says his 'decision' not 'choice'. And I think that is the nub of it. Someone else's suggestion and choice of player, Wilder saying yes or no. Not a particular issue as long as Wilder stays in charge of all football decisions.

I took the view that when the court decided he was a rapist, based of course on hearing ALL the evidence available at the time rather than simple forum opinion, and therefore was more than happy when another court deemed him not to be. That's a reasonably sensible take on it as far as I'm concerned. I am however confused by those who don't want him back because they believe it's a McCabe move. So it's unclear whether it's about him or Evans.

People who I feel would call themselves "liberal minded" do seem to raise the most objections about a man found not guilty being able to earn a living though.
 



Can someone explain what the Koeman reference was about please. What did I miss?
Cheers UTB

There's certainly a few like that but there seems to be even more who go on about the 'Ched haters'.

A blind man on a flying horse knows this has been going on for ages and isn't a sudden Wilder move. But as long he's happy with it and it's on sensible financial terms as it appears to be, all good surely.

He still seems to be a cause of division though for people on both ends of the spectrum though.
 
Brief summary of Wilder's other comments on Ched:
  • Ultimately my decision
  • I see a hungry, determined footballer who wants to do well
  • He has unfinished business
  • I'd walk out if I had players pushed on me
  • It represents value for money for us, it's a good deal for us
  • There's been a lot of nonsense about numbers
  • I've spoke to Ched for quite a long time
  • He's passed a stringent medical
  • We're fully confident with the work we'll do with him in pre season
  • He'll bolster us
  • I wasn't the only manager after him
 
Some don't want Ched back at all, I can understand that given all the shit.

Most seem to be in the 'If Wilder's cool with it, let's roll' ( me included)

Some are Chedette's and will probably be booking a hotel room right now.

*one is a rather bizarre fantasist who thinks everyone's reasoning on any issue is based on their 'hatred' of McCabe.
 
That has to end the 'meltdown' now surely.

1. It was his his signing and his alone, if it was a deal forced/pressured on him he would have resigned
2. Ched has passed a medical record and he's happy with his fitness
3. The fees bandied around in the press are no-where near what the deal is actually worth, indeed he says it was very good value for money
4. There were other teams interested in signing him
5. Ched's attitude seems to be spot on and Wilder met him in person
 
Have you bothered to listen to the interview.?,how much clearer does Chris have to make it,he has said if he was forced to sign anyone he would be out of the door

Yes, I have listened to it, ta very much.

Who's suggested that Chris was "forced" to sign Evans? Not me, that's for sure.

Tbh, I'm not inclined to make a big issue about it. The deal's done. It's a one-off.

In relation to Jay O`Shea signing,similar to the Ross Barkley/Everton we need to know situation,thats my take on it
 
"Another Angry Voice" has an opinion on Evans/McCabe now?

Let's hope he's more clued up than he is on economics.
