What has really happened?

[TheWolfman]

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.

I think if the right player is available at the right price we would have bought players in. The media circus around Spence and the transfer fee didn't help. clubs started taking the ****. Rightly so we didn't over commit. We can't afford too.

Yeah its left us way short but that's where we are today and I'm sure there is money there for the right players come January.

BBC tees reporting the Burnley thing as pretty much fact too. Imagine being with Margot Robbie and having your head turned by Mandy Dingle.

 

[Rofesleg]

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).

McClaren was going to be sacked after a season in which we reached the UEFA Cup Final, FA Cup Semis & League Cup Quarters? All after winning our first trophy and also qualifying for Europe via the league for the first time? And then fulfilling Gibson's dream of a team full of academy graduates?
Righto.

To even consider Burnley over Boro is such unforgivable insult . Told you he was a chunt

Of course it was I wax slagged off at the time on here but look at the people involved they all knew him from shef u. Look at his response or lack of it.

He wanted out.

Seems we may have had a point then GE after all.

Righto.

14th in the League which was actually flattering.
Fan throwing a season ticket holder at him?
Talks with Leeds
Talks with Newcsatle
Talks with Chelsea
Drew a list of candidates before he randomly showed.
'If Steve told me the grass was green I'd go out and check'

That one yeah

 

[Tryasize10]

We couldn't afford the Lucozade bill after Chrisy chugged about 12 bottles per game. Every time the cameras panned on him he was chugging the stuff

 

[Mfc79]

Wilder and Gibson got in to a huge row about whether ketchup or brown sauce is better in a bacon sandwich. Wilder was on the ketchup side and had to go.

Wtf. You don't put sauce on a bacon butty.

And bbq sauce trumps either red or brown sauce

 

[Morton94]

You know Simon Jordan called Chris Wilder out at the time, saying he knew for a fact there was a distinct possibility it was gonna happen and that there'd been meetings calling him a snake in the grass essentially

Such was our form at the time, fans were desperate not to believe it, Wilder didn't bat away the question until it became toxic. He seemingly just seemed to become less and less on board with the club.

Form since the Burnley incident has been absolutely horrific and he hasn't even got the job in the end.
Honestly my opinion of the man has lessened over time, my feeling of excitement has just diminished horrifically
I felt more upset when we sacked Warnock, there was a tinge of sadness that things didn't work out for Woody, Pulis got us in the play offs but we just stagnated but I was still grateful.
This feels more like a relief, even though the last two names I've mentioned are genuinely viewed on quite badly by the fan base, this just feels way worse, no sadness towards this at all. No warm feeling or anything.
That is damning really

 

[TheYorkshireTerrier]

Which makes you wonder why Gibson didn’t act in the summer if he knew about Burnley?

 

[sweet_left_foot]

Yeah, maybe he was hoping that Wilder would just produce excellent results but hadn't appreciated what a tight band of players we have with a high ethical code. The bright side being, that revolutionary player power is going to smite Birmingham.

I still feel we are going to royally thump a team once the players gel.

Good point about Simon Jordan I forgot about that

Jordan actually claimed that Wilder went to a Burnley game whilst being the Boro boss.

Wilder and Gibson have been playing chicken with each other I reckon, Gibsons blinked first can say he didn't get the results so a change needed to be made, he's not daft.

Now good luck Chris Wilder trying to get a Premier League job hope you get what you want at Hull.

It’s going to be interesting to see if we turn up. If they’re going to play for anyone on Wednesday night, it will be Leo.

 

[Cogeur_le_Conq]

I think that wilder knew that Cov was his last game hence his selection that baffled everybody

It seemed to me that Wilder was trying to come up with a plan B after realising plan B got sussed.

I blame the players for not being good enough for plan A, never mind a plan B.

Wilder wasn't shy when questioned about players we missed out on.

Imagine where we'd be if we got the players Wilder wanted?
