Absolutely agreed. The only thing I didn't like was his whole "plain-speaking Yorkshireman" schtick. Everyone I have ever known who claims to be just a plain-speaking, calls a spade a space kinda person is just obnoxious and rude and looking for an excuse. The rest though, until he revealed himself, was great.
He seems to have got Sheffield Utd to perk up a bit and look more organised but that might have happened under Heckingbottom.
He used to be a good manager. Until us, he had left every team in a far better position than when he found them. At some point though, his ego took over and he now feels like a toxic mess. Judging by the little I've seen of his press conferences, he's still trying to claim that he's the big man in charge, the special one, and he'll save Sheffield Utd. All the failings come from the players. I loathe that David Brent style of talking. Even if Carrick proves to be a washout for us, you know he'll always own the failures and work to promote the players. Southgate is similar as are most of the younger generation of managers.
For me after seeing him with us, Wilder represents all that's worst about the "big man" generation of managers. He's David Brent cosplaying Brian Clough, badly.
The harder Wilder fails, the happier I will be.
) and no sign of Wilder.....
