A bit like Ayling thenWhether they performed well for us here or not is irrelevant, they are all managers that have managed at the top level.
And, I dont recall Woodgate operating as a manager at the too level

Its hard work tip tapping around the pitch for 90 minutes, and even harder that you cant even consider launching it if in danger or making them turn for a breather.Bang on. It's absolutely not the personnel. It's the system. It always has been.
Ayling wasn't starting for Leeds when we signed him on loan.A bit like Ayling then

I knowAyling wasn't starting for Leeds when we signed him on loan.
They've all managed in the top flight. I'm not sure what more you expect?I know
And, the managers we have appointed weren’t operating at the ‘highest level’ when they joined us either
I was just curious about your pointThey've all managed in the top flight. I'm not sure what more you expect?
I think whatever league we are in next season the defence needs seriously looking at.
Fry in my opinion isn’t reliable enough to be a starter for a team with promotion ambitions.
We need a new right back, likely another LB (to add to our collection) and 2 new CBs. Sadly I think Lenihan will likely retire too.
We will probably sign 5 wingers instead.
As managers that have managed at the top level, they’ve seen what it takes and as I said, every manager that he’s played under has selected him. None have tried to replace him. I’ll take their collective judgement as indicative of his ability.I was just curious about your point
Mine is - by the time they came to us they were on the decline and ended up making a mess of their time here.
Picking Fry IMO says nothing about his ability which I think is ‘decent championship standard’ who wouldn’t get a game for the teams around us.
To still be reliant on him shows a lack progress
before being brought back into the side after he realised he’d made the wrong decision..But then got dumped the season after in preference for Lenihan. Wilder criticised him and other players for lacking ambition and being comfortable just being a championship player.
....before being brought back into the side due to Lenihan being out injured throughout September.before being brought back into the side after he realised he’d made the wrong decision..
I'm not sure what your argument is. I disagree that Wilder brought Fry in because he realised he made the wrong decision. He brought him back in due to injury to Lenihan. Why would Wilder not play Fry, a recognised CB, if we had injury at CBs. We played 3 and we had 4 + 2 full backs (Dijksteel and Bola) filling in. Lenihan had been playing the central role. Fry was the obvious reserve choice for that particular position in the back 3.…and for the record Fry didn’t replace Lenihan in the team, he’d already been brought back in the starting XI. Lenihan only missed four games.
