* The Unofficial "Official" Boro v Coventry City Match - Day Thread *

I crack up every time I see someone say he was stitched up by the recruitment. 12 new players in, millions spent, signings from premier league teams, la liga teams... But apparently its a disgrace because we didn't spend another £15m on a striker nobody had ever heard of in Netherlands.
You would laugh if your **** was on fire it would appear.

Wilder deserves criticism for not motivating and organising well enough.
But Kieran Scott and the cast of idiots above have delivered two successive shocking transfer windows.

We have taken another player who didn't have a job - Luongo
We've signed out of contract players - Smith, Lenihan, Roberts
We've taken loan players - Giles, Muniz, Mowatt, Steffen
We've signed a chugger centre back in Clarke and 2 forwards the manager doesn't want. That's it.
£7.75m commited, at c £1.6m per season in amortisation over their contracts. Versus £22.5m minimum profit from player sales boosting this season.

Giles and Muniz are good signings; Roberts is a decent lad.
The rest have not remotely improved us.
We are in the bottom three after 11 matches and we haven't been unlucky.

There was talk from the club of seriously going for promotion and exciting recruitment with head turning players brought in.
I crack up when I hear the views from the likes of Superstu that this is all the fault of Chris Wilder.
 
Do we reckon he’s actually gonna get sacked then? I do.
No but the question is- how long do you persevere before you do. We are already 8 points off the play off spots. Are we going to allowCW to carry on building his squad in anther window or do we cut our losses and get somebody in to build for next season?

b***ks unfortunately. We've signed a rivals captain, Giles and Muniz look great, we've got a player in Clarke whos won player of the season awards everywhere he's been, and these are all added to a squad that finished 7th last season.

2 forwards the manager doesn't want. Boo f*cking hoo. Get on with it. Would anyone seriously be happier if we had Gayle and Connolly in just cause they're the dopey managers picks?
 
I would stick by Wilder this season if we avoided relegation just by a point.(y)
Too many times we`ve avoided the elephant in the room and changed Managers like changing our socks.
Rubbish- needs to be on his bike now! He couldn’t motivate you into having a poo if you had diarrhoea

How do you know who Wilder wanted up front?
You don't.

I was hoping he would be a success meaning he's doing a good job & putting an end to this managerial merry go round we have at the club

Sticking with Wilder, we wont miss relegation by a point, we'll be dead & buried long before the end of the season, IMHO mind
 
Seriously , who would touch him looking at this now ?, i would be horrified as a fan if he ended up at my club now , busted flush sadly
My thoughts exactly. Imagine being a Premier League chairman, watching our last few games, and going, yeah, this is the blueprint of what we want our hundreds of millions investment to look like - never gonna happen now.

On reputation you can see why Wilder would be linked with the likes of Burnley, Bournemouth, Brighton. But no-one goes from the bottom 3 in the Championship with a team playing as poorly as we are now to a good PL job, just doesn’t happen. There would be fan anarchy. Until we seriously improve I think Wilder can forget about being cherry picked for a really good job. Could more see him jumping to someone like WBA.
 
All the Wilder lovers are gone very quiet now it's clear the team have lost faith in him now.
Another one still here. I don’t think it’s a simple as it appears. I’d love to know what’s happened off the field as we’re a shadow of the side we were at times under him last season.

TBH, this isn’t just Wilder. This is rotten. Something has changed. Or at least that’s how it feels. Why didn’t they back him in the summer? We had 11 or 12 new players but… have we really backed him? It doesn’t quite feel like it.

That said, I’m quite drunk and I’m really looking forward to Birmingham on Wednesday night. I think we’ll win that. 2-0. Or maybe we won’t. I could quite easily see a horrible 0-3 loss. Eustace is charge of them. I believe he holds grudges(he doesn’t, he’s a very nice man, very family orientated).

Anyway, we shall see. Whatever happens, I’d be amazed if Wilder is Boro manager on January 1. There’s an inevitability about this now.

Morning young man.
I agree with your sentiment.
But, I cant see how the continuous hire & fire of Managers has helped in any way.:(
 
Two things occur to me this morning. The first is, for those who think the players aren't playing for the manager. They are well paid proffessional footballers. If they stop playing for the manager, they stop playing for you and I too. Why then would you want to sack the manager, rather than get rid of any player that won't play for you and I?

If at work I stop playing for my boss, I get fired.

Secondly, I wonder how many managers with a proven track record, fail at a club because they are the problem and how many fail at a club for other reasons. A successful manager wih a proven track record, generally, isn't the problem. The problem lies elsewhere.
