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.

I cannot take him serious, but give him full marks for effort

I think he's Parky.

Conclusion? The journey has only just begun.

Hugh Janus.

Does anyone remember what hughmungus was like before he decided to self ostracise himself from the realm of critical thinking?

Plenty of bad signings in football but 23 million for Brewster has to be right up there with the worst.   

Strange one with Brewster, £23m isn’t THAT much in today’s market and if he didn’t cut it in the Prem this year (which he clearly hasn’t) then he’s already proven he’ll score plenty of goals in the championship a and should give them a good chance of coming straight back up.

Add to that that he’s still young and so could probably sell now for £10-15m even after this awful season, and one successful season will likely put his value back to what they spent and I don’t think it’s as bad as it seems. Granted for £23m you’d want someone to keep you in the prem, so he’s failed at that, but in terms of investment I don’t think it’s a disaster.

Getting rid of Wilder on the other hand is a terrible decision. They should have taken the same view as Burnley did with Dyche, and Norwich are doing now - keep things stable, same manager, most of the same players and you’ll have a very good chance of bouncing straight back.

Fine margins. Brewster could have been a good signing for them. He is their N’gog

One of my first post on here was about Wilder, what he did at Sheffield United was pretty phenomenal, and he did it in some style as well, played decent football and marched to the Premier League, and with some of the same players he had in L1.

Fantastic manager, he's had a bad season and since football resumed under covid conditions and zero crowds, they have lost their mojo, if any club has missed crowds, its Sheffield United, Bramhall Lane with fans is a difficult place to go.

I know fans of other clubs hate the fucker, if he was manager of your club you'd love him. I don't think the fans were wanting him out, I'd be surprised if they don't spiral back down the leagues, they've had a good 5 or 6 years, it comes to all, as we well know.

Right man at the right time.

He has now been found out, like all football managers do.

Yep. Echoes of BWFC with Sheff U. BSA/Wilder. Lower league to Prem and clubs hating away games against us (them) and the "fuck you" attitude. Diouff/Fat Billy Sharpe

The big difference was BSA was clued up about signings - Djorkaeff, Campo, the list goes on.....

Like you I could see the bubble burst over the next few years

Maybe Brewster's serious knee and ankle injury in 2018 took the edge off his prospects at the top level?

I’m not interested enough to go searching through history. But if my memory serves me right, he is a Bolton fan, living in Wigan and used to be a travel agent.

Ahh yes you might be right. Better memory than me 😊👍

I have a strange suspicion he won't be successful anywhere else

Interesting point that, I think I agree with you in general but there must be some exceptions such as, Shankly, Stein, Clough, Paisley, Fagan, Robson, Venables, Ferguson and possibly Pep & Klopp may be added in the future as well?

Ferguson was the biggest ever right person, right time manager. The group of players that were coming through at the time will never happen ever again.

I rate Pep

Think Klopp was at the right club at the right time and did ok in the main

Rest are before my time

Wilder now bookies' favourite for the Celtic job.

Won promotions with Oxford and Northampton unless you mean successful in premier league terms.

He'll be this generations Big Mick or Colin

Hes an ignorant pig so fit right in 

Blades fans not happy about this and I have to agree with them. Like others have said, he’d have brought them back up next year but I think things behind the scenes weren’t right so it wasn’t going to happen.

In an interview a week or so ago he was very spiky when asked about if he'd be still there next season.

Massive loss for them I suspect.

Awful accent too btw. Why does he have that accent instead of sounding like Sean Bean given he's supposed to be a dyed in the wool Blade?
