Lies to sell season tickets

[wilkos_perm]

We were clearly in for a few players that didn't materialize. Can't blame Wilder for that, nor can you blame him for selling our best midfielder and not replacing him - not sure it was feeding the fans lies.

There's probably something to the rumours doing the rounds but also the performances have been markedly worse since the end of the transfer window. It was like Wilder had thrown the towel in after we didn't get the players we very obviously needed and we were all waiting for the inevitable.

I'm not sure he threw the towel in, only he would know that, but if you don't progress with recruitment, and find your squad feeling a bit weaker than the season before, things can very quickly go stale and backwards, and i think that can apply to the players, managers and fans.

It was ridiculous to be as accommodating as we were. Look at how other clubs with far bigger assets have held stead fast - berge, brerreton Diaz etc.

We danced to Bournemouths tune from the off.

Maybe we needed the money.

It was a very funny and fun press conference, which seems totally weird looking back. First of all as he was walking past me Wilder pointed at Matty from the Northern Echo - "what do you think of him?" He was referring to Matty from Northern Echo moving to work for Sunderland. He was joking of course but the jokes did continue later on - to the point that my Q and As weren't transmitted because everyone was laughing so much.
I suppose this is a side of Wilder that we would have seen more of had the results allowed. But he seemed more relaxed than I had seen him for several weeks pre Coventry. Perhaps he knew the game was up but probably not. He did mention maybe needing to grind out some wins and I suppose that was the thinking behind the defensive line up.

I got that impression.
I darent care to remember how many times we`ve said "goodbye" to a Manager and "hello" to the next one!
I was really dosappointed, but we will find out over time what was going behind the scenes. So much conjecture, rumours and "noise" [as Chris described it].
