I have limited access to the internet today. So for ease of finding, please can all theories on why now be briefly put on this thread. Thanks in advance.

Lack of birthday tweet may have been something in it after all

Like when he threw a wobbler at Sheff United and wanted £4m.. sounds like he wanted the Burnley job and threw a wobbler.
 
Timing is weird. What a waste of an international break. Unless someone has just become available
Club don't know whether they're coming or going. This is like a smaller scale version of sacking Woodgate when he lost the first game back from the COVID break. Why bother giving him that game if he's going to be sacked? Swansea should've been Warnock's first game, just like Coventry should've been the new manager's first game, or Leo's first game as interim whilst the interview process was conducted over the international break. It just shows clear poor judgement from Gibson, Bausor, Scott, and whoever else has a say. They must've known before that Coventry game they were getting rid of him. One defeat doesn't cause a knee jerk sacking. Unless his post match comments irked them on top of all the other things he's said.

I think that wilder knew that Cov was his last game hence his selection that baffled everybody
 
Wilder touted himself around as did Monk (sacked) and as did McLaren (luckily England came in as Scolari turned them down but he would of been sacked anyway). With Wilder the performance wasn't backing up for him to be kept on.

Managers don't resign anymore so that should of happened but it won't.

We have a new system now with Kieran Scott so I'm putting Wilder down too teething problems in the system, he knew what he was signing up for so he can't whinge.

You could be Pep or Klopp and if you don't want to be here the fans will turn and Wilder thinks he's better than what he actually is.

Hopefully we find the exact profile to be work with the system we have.

Brought in a great manager but probably under false pretences that we’d have big bucks to spend in the summer provided he stabilised us and aimed for a playoff challenge. Probably underplayed the head of recruitment role as we did with Warnock and as such Wilder didn’t get his targets and the club didn’t match his ambition, hence we started the season having signed a lot of talented free agents to compensate as opposed to five or six good squad players. This has then made it harder for the squad to gel and led to the form at the start of the season carrying over.

Add to that the fact that FFP has led to the Tav and Djed money going towards keeping us out of the red and I think Wilder’s seen that his three year project was probably never going to come to fruition, leading to him looking elsewhere as rumoured.

Think we’ve lost the best manager we’ve appointed since Karanka here, and we’ll regret it when he takes his next club into the Prem whilst we plod into 18th with Steve Bruce in charge having given Rob Edwards about six months before giving him the chop too.
 
The educated guess, supported by how the locals rags reported today, is that the Burnley interest was pivotal - the contrast in both performances and results either side of that event is marked.

So whilst it's not a huge shock given our poor form, it did seem that this decision was driven by more than just results alone.

Yes Drury just confirmed on radio both Burnley and wilder were interested in the job. Wilder was a snake 🐍
