deane koontz Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 Gone. Thought he'd be there next season tbf. They bought some poo in the summer Quote
Lt. Aldo Raine Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 Why sack him now and not in November? Quote
1969 Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 Can't see the logic in this i think he'd of took them back up Quote
Dr. Feelgood Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 Clearly not got to grips with it this season. Some poor buying, £23m for Brewster was ludicrous but I don't know their policy on who makes the recruitment decisions there. It does seem unnecessarily brutal. For that scale of club promotion is often achieved in stages & a yo-yoing has to be how it is. Managers in that level will queue to join them. Quote
Tonge moor green jacket Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 More to it than results I think. New owners. Quote
W.cramp Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 Plenty of bad signings in football but 23 million for Brewster has to be right up there with the worst. Quote

Read that he wanted players in the January transfer window, owner said no you've spent enough already esp on Brewster and the keeper Can't see it going down well with the fans Sean Bean in Quote

hughmungus Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 Now that the Evattino experiment is thankfully reaching its conclusion, its time we upped our game (lets be honest its not hard with Evatt) and bust a gut to get Wilder. Hopefully we would get back to watching teams that want to win properly. Quote

desperado Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 There’s always various schools of thought when it comes to change of management. Outsiders looking in generally tend to to be surprised when managers of clubs who are over achieving (or have over achieved) are potted. The feeling is what do they expect? Is anyone really going to do any better? I must admit, taking away some poor signings, this is my reaction to Wilder going. I remember talk shows and pundits reacting similarly when Coyle and Lennon went. Viewpoints from within a clubs fanbase differ vastly too. You have the x-factor we know better than anyone else, a couple of poor performances and manager out types. There were (and still is isn’t there @hughmungus) plenty of those about in Pre December with IE. Not willing to invest in a process, have a long-term view and patience. But then of course as in the case with Coyle and Lennon, the outsiders don’t get a good understanding and feel of what is going on in the club and are often misguided in their judgements. Maybe there’s more to it with Wilder. Quote
Mannyroader Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 He has been linked with Celtic for a couple of weeks at least. Maybe it got further along than just rumours. There will be a few Championship managers having trouble sleeping till he is sorted somewhere. Quote

Horwich Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 Best job in the world that football manager lark. He will soon be back in work at Middlesborough. Quote
Escobarp Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 Lots going on behind the scenes. Owner wants a director of football and head coach structure so was to remove recruitment etc from wilder apparently it’s been going on quite a while all this and has finally come to a head . I’ve a few mates who are blunts they are very unhappy people. Quote

Aye you would think the starting place with any football club would be what goes on the pitch instead they get all caught up with structures but like businesses you see losing their focus on products and customers. Seems a decent bloke too. Quote

deanmilly Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 Wilder is a phenomenal coach, a decent size portion of the team from their league 1 season with us developed so well & moulded into his way of playing that they looked not only like top tier champ players but solid BPL players in that first season. In our league 1 promotion season we may have beat them in both games but our squad was built on a quick fix, short term success where as Sheff U had a project & a way of playing which would help them compete on a low budget against teams with better finances. One tip for managers trying to stay up in the prem... do not buy "young talent" from liverpool. Coyle wasted cash on N'gog, Howe wasted cash on Ibe & Solanke, Wilder wasted cash on Brewster. Buying on potential is too risky when you're at the other end of the table, our panic buy of Sordell was so bad Quote

I think Liverpool inserted a £40M buy back clause as well................I suspect they won't be triggering that any time soon Quote
MalcolmW Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 Dean Henderson in goal (on loan from MU) was key in getting them promoted, and then key in keeping them up in the PL. Without him this season they are suffering. Quote
