“You don’t need to ask me though do you”
I have said it before that I wanted Wilder here for ages and am chuffed he finally came. I don’t see a valid reason why he would go to, of all clubs, Burnley. He said himself several times he was ambitious. What I don’t get is the failure to draw a line. He knows how that will be seen as a mixed message, he isn’t daft. It is unfair to fans whatever side of the opinion you are sat on and it is a touch disrespectful to the owner.
It is entirely possible he is irritated with journo’s lines of questioning. He is contractually obliged to answer questions about the game, not his personal position. He has been irked due to the defeat, but he was very tetchy when BBC Tees mentioned the excellent Bournemouth draw had ‘stopped the rot’, he was overly sensitive to a common everyday saying, he is not normally like that. It was as if he was under pressure, waiting for the question he didn’t want to answer which, after a good result would normally have been more relaxed. Again yesterday he was anticipating the question coming and jumped in to avoid answering, he knew it was coming and assumed what the reporter was about to say (which i’m sure he was tbf).
I have seen the Gazette article saying MFC are relaxed about it all and confident he is going nowhere. Pleasing as that is, this could and should have been put to bed on Friday, not allowed to fester and destabilise our combined belief and trust. I hope the team and Wilder get nothing but support at Swansea but the last few days have been wholly unnecessary If the Gazette article is correct.
