The Photo at the top just needs the quote underneath "I'm a friend first, boss second... probably entertainer third"He’s always had a bit of David Brent in him. He was cringe in his pressers
I get the impression he would cherish his LMA manager of the year award more than winning the champions leagueHis Arrogance is unbelievable, me! me! me! me! me!.... look what i've done, look at what I did.
His man management skills were comical, constantly naming/shaming footballers in his past interviews.
The moral at our club was at an all time low thanks to Wilder.
Carrick's calm and modern way of man management is a breath of fresh air, football has moved on and Wider is stuck in the past.
Even if the summer transfer window didn't go the way he'd hoped it would, he still chose to continue playing 532, when it was clear we didn't have the players suited to it.He also goes on about being tactically flexible and astute, then spent his time here trying to crowbar his 532 formation onto a group of players completely unsuited to it
Yes he spat his dummy out in the summer and looks more foolish by the day with Carrick in chargeEven if the summer transfer window didn't go the way he'd hoped it would, he still chose to continue playing 532, when it was clear we didn't have the players suited to it.
Good managers are flexible and able to work with what they have. Instead of trying to use Clarke as an overlapping cente halve, and persisting with the midfield trio of Howson, Mowatt and Crooks, he could have tried a different formation which would have suited the players we have but the reality is it was all about him. It was all about finding a way to make his formation work and the players had to try and adapt to that.
Look at the contrast with what Carrick has done with Akpom. He's played him as a no 10 because he could see something in him after watching him in training that mad him feel he'd be suited to that role.
I'd given him the benefit of the doubt up until this point. I'd hoped he'd come out and say yeah I really messed up, I was arrogant and I admit that I was tempted by the Burnley job however the experience has humbled me and I aim to learn from it, which hopefully will help me to become a better manager in the future.What do you expect he's hurting,who puts on their CV im **** and spit my dummy out
And if he'd done that it actually might make him a bit more employable.I'd given him the benefit of the doubt up until this point. I'd hoped he'd come out and say yeah I really messed up, I was arrogant and I admit that I was tempted by the Burnley job however the experience has humbled me and I aim to learn from it, which hopefully will help me to become a better manager in the future.
We need the graphic comparing his tenure to Woodgate's again.Better than Pep Guardiola, Jürgen Klopp and Mauricio Pochettino..

or a league two manager who blagged a decent season in the premier league with Sheffield United?
arguments ever day at rockcliffe, our worst ever start in history.. awful manager! he is like a three ghost spirit of Gordon Strachan, Garry Monk & Tony Pulis.. all rolled up into a turd of a man.
aggressive pish head who has traits of a man who supplements his nights out with gear.. talentless, delusional, asrehole.

Totally agree, I have mentioned it before but Alan McInally more or less called Wilder out with what Carrick is achieving with the same group of players. McInally was a pundit on Sky and praised our style of play and what Carrick had achieved and questioned why Wilder couldn't get a tune out of them. McInally more or less said our performances under Carrick were night and day compared to Wilder's.Mentions the first 11 games this season but neglects to mention the back end of last season funnily enough.
"You can't go to Man United and get a result without being tactically astute".
Can you go away to a Preston side with nothing to play for and get stuffed 4-1 without being tactically astute either Chris?
And as if he's trying to take credit for Carrick's success. Our star man are largely players he wanted nothing to with.
What a nob.
