Chris Wilder

Looks like he`s finding his level.
He`l have no money and few players.
Perhaps he can do a rebuilding job - which he can be good at:
His success at Oxford United, Northampton Town and Sheffield United prove that.
He`s clearly limited in his ability to cope with pressure at the top end of the football pyramid - but fair play to him if he goes to Reading.
Their fans obviously have a gallows sense of humour - with the last day celebrations [pink flamingos and beach balls an all].(y)
 
His career seems to be stalled - or in a strange place. When he came here, I thought we had got a premier league standard manager, but if that was the case why Watford (surely the worst team inthe whole UK for a manager) for a dozen or so games and now a league 1 team?
 
Lumley will be like a dog on heat at the thought. You don’t have a curriculum vitae like Wilder and be a failure. Reading will be up there with Dagenham & Redbridge before we know it
Lumley won't be there as his loan will be over and can't see them being able to sign him. And, wasn't it Warnock who signed him? Wilder bombed him out after one too many costly errors.
 
Did Watford actually announce Wilder leaving? Looked through their tweets following Monday’s match and there’s none about him officially going before announcing this new manager.
 

We are impacted by goodbyes at work and if we aren’t, what does that say about our shared humanity in that job in the first place?

“It's not the endings that will haunt you

But the space where they should lie,

The things that simply faded

Without one final wave goodbye.”

Was just going to say the same
After Lumley's last howler Wilder said 'I couldn't look Daniels in the eye and continue to justify not giving him a go' or words to that effect
 
There's a guy on the Not The Top 20 podcast who went through a spell of asserting that Chris Wilder is the best football manager *in the world*.

I wonder if he maintains that stance when he takes over at League One Reading following his disastrous spell at Watford.

He's an interesting one Wilder, we loved him for a period, but he's now sort of become viewed by our fans how McClaren would have been viewed had he had us in the relegation zone at the end of his first season and then jumped ship before we went down.
