Wilder Statement

[west_yorks_blade]

Wilder of Nazareth.

He’s not the messiah, he’s a very naughty boy

 

[Nine Inch Nalis]

What a wanker, you need to review your posts for every time you are abusive to people who don't hold your view. The mods will allow it because you all shit in the same pot. Why bother having a forum, set of wankers the lot of you............ bigger Blades my arse. Fucking spotty cunts wanking in your bedroom.

And that would be your second meltdown of the day

Thanks for playing Stanley

A bone fide Blades Legend

 

[Stantheman]

Well this thread is going to be a record breaker. Simply because BushBlade and Stantheman are both so insecure that they have to have the last word

Brb getting the popcorn

You need to review what your pals have posted then.......darling, but it's ok when they do it.

Not much of a statement, just a history lesson of the last 5 years, with the ball boy, player soundbite bollox thrown in, doesn’t mean a great deal Chris when you jump ship does it, looks like the prince was spot on with his assessment.

Thanks for the memories Chris but u bottled it when it got rough, now time to move on.

Rubbish

 

[Old Programme seller]

I’ve read the statement a few times my opinion for what its worth is that it’s a lovely written piece thanking a lot of people to bring them back onside to thank him for what he has quite rightly done which is a fantastically brilliant job but ultimately to negate the bad feeling left towards him after PA had his sky interview, it’s politics in my eyes as which managers send out love letters when they leave a club? Dave Bassett, Warnock I don’t believe did.

Titcake

As insults go... well, there used to be a poster called Tyler on here who would eaten that up and spat it out.

 

[ZLB]

Didn't love us enough to finish what he started. He should have put up with the owners until the end of the season then resigned.

Fuck him and his lapdog called Wit.

Good luck in League One.

"When I walked back into Bramall Lane, in May 2016, having been given the chance to manage the Club I’d supported all my life, who could have predicted the next four-and-a-half years? It has been some journey and one I’m immensely proud of.

"It was an opportunity I couldn’t resist and one that I couldn’t wait to get started. My story with Sheffield United was well-documented, as a fan, ballboy and player in two spells, but my managerial record to then was recognised and I was appointed on merit.

"I spoke to a lot of people, canvassed plenty of opinion and set about reconnecting the Club and supporters at the same time as attempting to build a squad that could climb out of the doldrums of League One. Both of those goals were achieved.

"Admittedly, it wasn’t the start that everyone wanted but with Billy Sharp as captain and with the backing of the punters on the terraces, slowly but surely we went about our business, taking the rough with the smooth and staying humble as we began to build momentum that would take us to the heights of the Premier League and a highest ever finish in the modern era.

"Along the way there were so many achievements and moments to be remembered. In no particular order, important victories at Hillsborough, Elland Road and Old Trafford, collecting a record 100 points, open top bus parades, town hall receptions, thousands of fans welcoming us back to the Lane after fixtures at Northampton and Stoke and, of course, making sure we celebrated the successes because, as Blades fans well know, it’s either feast or famine. We were in good form when Covid hit last year and who knows how far we could have gone, you could not avoid the talk of possible European football – hopefully that kept a few Unitedites going in a tough period.

"Throughout the journey, it has been a team effort and I must point out that the commitment, hard work and talent of a number of people have been major contributory factors to the success of Sheffield United in recent years – there’s too many to mention but Billy and the players, Alan Knill and the staff, and my wife, Francesca, and all the family, have been heavily influential.

"I have to mention the supporters at this point, too, because they have also been a driving force of the whole operation, many of whom I’ve stood side by side with on the terraces, home and away.

"As proved this season, football is just not the same without fans and I stand by the comment that I’ve made on numerous occasions, the Club have missed out more than most, Unitedites have the ability to turn losses into draws and draws into wins. I cannot stress enough how important the fans are and I’ve been humbled by the unequivocal support, even this season when things haven’t gone so well.

"Additionally, since leaving Sheffield United I’ve received numerous messages of support from within the game and I’m appreciative of that. Now, before deciding what’s next, I’m enjoying a period of reflection at home in a city that I love and that I’m incredibly proud to live in, Sheffield is the home of football, it is dominated by the sport and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

"I’ll miss the feeling of a packed Bramall Lane, to me it was one of the greatest atmospheres in football but I would say that, I lived the dream of every Blades fan and I hope every one of them understands that I tried to represent them correctly in ‘giving them their club back’, a phrase that has been said to me quite a few times. And one I verbally believe we did!

"I would like to wish everyone associated with the football club & the owners the very best in the future. This Football Club will always hold a special place in my heart, it has from an early age and that will never change.

"Thanks again for everything.”

Chris

What's the point of this and why now?

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

What's the point of this and why now?

He’s given it some time for some of the heat to come out of the situation and has drawn a line under it. He’s thanked the fans and probably feels he’s said what he needed to. He also keeps his name out there for anyone who maybe thinking of changing manager and showing he can play nice with owners if he has to.

All 30,000 of us rode high on his shoulders for 4 years, and wore him down.

By Christmas we all knew he was fucking shattered. Chris needed 6 months off, and to come back hungry. Instead we drove him into the ground. We, and he, expected too much too soon and it wrecked him.

50 years at the Lane for me next week, and the 4 years with Chris will never be bettered. Our club has never been, and probably will never be, so close again.

Just like TC - he could do magic.

See you on the Kop Gaffer. xxx

It’s the fans fault? Blimey.

The sad thing is, half our current repertoire name checks our Chris.

[Rodders]

You watch that, you remember Scunthorpe rocking up in May 2016 and you then see all the bollocks about
"all the shit he's left us with"
"the state he's left us in"
I think Tyler does have a point about some of the shittest fans around.

Perhaps he should have accepted a DoF to lighten the load then ?

You can't blame the fans for wearing him down, that's daft.

I agree he was due a break but as a football manager you can't just fuck off for a few months because you're out of steam. What sort of message would that send to current and future employers? If Chris was burnt out, it was right that he went.

 

[The Steel Roses]

Love Wilder!!!! he was my hero as a player and then in recent times my hero as a manager of our club!

But!!!!
His comments are a spin on only the last 2 years of all that he did was good!!
We know that,,, but to become a competent and recognised man of genuine achievement, you don’t piss off the moment your reputation is in jeopardy!!!
He got us where we want and should really be, but he’s left us short, out of our depth, and with a future that is uncertain!
For me getting there is only just the beginning!!
Very disappointed in a man who is of pedigree, but puts agenda before realism!
You don’t Cross you arms and sulk cuz you can’t have it your way!
Ultimately our club, not Chris, will be the thing that suffers!
I honestly believed his legacy would have been Top Flight longevity

 

[bladeinspaceandtime]

This thread is comedy gold.

PS
Even if that meant a relegation within that quest for longer term progress and top flight year on year staying power

Yes you can, that's how pretty much all managers leave this club eventually, with boos ringing in their ears.
A lot of our fans are twats and it's time they were called out on it. This "poor, long suffering Blades" bollocks doesn't cut it. Sometimes you end up with the club you deserve.
