You're the chairman

[Berkshire Blade]

The owners who signed him to a new contract 5 months ago? Those guys?

Let's see if Egil Olsen is free.

It's 2045.
Chris Wilder is still in charge, the last surviving manager to complete 3, 500 league matches in charge, but fairly mobile for an OAP having had both knees and a hip replaced, still managing 'games of football' at 'the football club' and an injunction is in place to stop anyone eating bread based food products within his eyesight.

Rhian Brewster has been granted another two year extension as he's a good lad and a real father figure in the dressing room. Oli Mcburnie is striker coach, with a side hustle of selling bucket hats, whilst Billy Sharp and David McGoldrick are club match day ambassadors when not employed as Premier league striker coaches and recruiters.

We're famous for scoring less than a goal a game in average for ten seasons running and renowned for consistent, yet boring, accrual of between 0.95 and 1.32 points per game.

'He's one of our own' rings out across the ground twice a game while punters in the 10k crowd talk feverishly about the good old days of hearing 'Rose Garden' , 'Ilkley Moor bah t'at' and 'the GCB' (what's that then Grandad?) as the red and white wizards enter the field of play to the dulcet and often croaky tones of Gary Sinclair, still match day announcer at the beautiful downtown Maggie Mays stadium, but using large print scripts and can't recall the names quite like he used to. Bless him.

All is well in the Sheffield Blades world.

You heard it here first!

[Rodley]

What about stick with Wilder but different recruitment strategy ?

We don’t want the reality, it’s a fantasy poll.

 

[jack's the lad]

Personally I back us to win the league next year. I’m not convinced the 3 coming down will be all that strong. All three just spent a season getting stuffed, Leicester and Southampton fans are demoralised. I think appointing Will Still is a mistake, too young and doesn’t know the division. Not sure how good Ipswich are without Delap. Dyche will likely get the Leicester job, but they look a mess and have to replace Vardy. I’m not saying they’ll all be rubbish, but if we can steal an early march on them in August/September whilst they’re having their hangover that’d be the key to winning it.

Wilder isn’t stupid. He knows his best shot to be a premier league manager again will be with us will be next season. I’m hoping this is like that bit after the Millwall home game in 2005 on the documentary when Warnock says he’s not going to mess around next season and we went up. We have new owners who, going by January, are willing to put their hands in their pockets.

I’ve seen criticism that he didn’t say anything to the players after the final. I think he made the right move. Let them stew and feel pain and the hurt. I’ve been thinking of what I would have said to them if I was him and all I can think of are platitudes and cliches. Not sure what he really could have said. For all the talk of tactics, substitutions and formations, they were 15/20 minutes away from becoming premier league players and they blew it.

We’ll likely lose Hamer, probably Souza and maybe Cooper (but I think he gives us one more year). I personally don’t think Hamer and Souza are irreplaceable.

I’m not Wilder’s biggest fan given how he left and the pub antics, but some things on here I think are uncalled for. Get behind him and the team I say.
