Wilder now 5-1 for Stoke job from 50-1

Why would he go there, we absolutely battered them the other day.

The only people making money on this are the bookies, and funnily enough, they're owned by a bookies.

Actually, I might look on Betfair and see if I can lay it.
 
After the Burnley episode he should come out and say he isn’t interested in the job and is happy at Boro! If this is the case!
 
All this “we’re a bigger club” and “sideways step” nonsense is absolutely irrelevant. The same with players. The sooner everyone realises that at our level it’s all about the money the sooner we’ll realise that club size doesn’t matter
 
last April wtih the burnley thing was completely different, that was wilder positioning to get a better contract and concessions for summer spending, he got his wish. This is bookies reacting to a few punts with no reasoning
Plus the people behind Burnley were the people he worked with at shef u so he knew them.

I think it's fairly obvious that Wilder is ambitious and he would like to manage at the top level. I don't believe he would leave us to go to Stoke just for the money. I'd imagine we pay well enough that a sidestep for money wouldn't make sense unless it was to a side where it was more likely he could get promoted which would be a recently relegated parachute payments club but they already have managers anyway.

I expect there to be interest in him from PL clubs without a manager at some point in the season and I'd expect him to consider it because that would be a step up for him. If we are heading for promotion it's more likely he'd be wanted but then there's less chance he'd want to leave. If we're not doing well then there won't be PL interest anyway.
 
He’s a good manager. We’ll have to get used to other clubs sniffing around and speculation in the media. The issue is how he deals with it. He should’ve learned his lesson from last season by now. Hopefully he just nips it in the bud tomorrow.
‘He’s a good manager.’

I thought he was the best manager in the championship ??????

🤣

One trick pony Wilder…..
Fcuk off to stoke….
He’s currently and gradually ‘dumbing down’ dael fry’s contribution to our team in the previous 2-3 seasons and basically replacing him on the QT.

The more I listen to his interviews the more I hear his bull siht.
‘I might need to bring a wrecking ball’
WTF.
What about just saying, not good enough and I expect better and fast. I’ll make the changes required to bring what is required.

Terrible start to the season if we’re all honest with ourselves and it’s largely down to wilder picking the wrong team….
Motivation and team spirit doesn’t seem to be thriving to say the least!

If he is tempted by stoke I wouldn’t be surprised

I’ll edit this response because it was quite unpleasant. But, put another record on, basically.

FFS.

I would not be surprised if he is linked with Stoke, especially after the way we took them apart last week. They could not fail to be impressed. I imagine our style of play was very refreshing after having the pragmatist o’neill with his band of geriatrics performing for them each week. I would be amazed if Wilder has any interest in moving, but if he did then he has certainly left a better squad than he inherited.
There was a thread the other day which asked the question ’What does Kieran Scott do’. I would imagine he already has his eye on future coaches just in case.
 
It simply isn't true no where was it 50/1 he was quite short early doors 6/1 and folks have obviously lumped a load of money on him (it doesn't take that much tbh) I've opened up markets and dropped the odds from 50/1 to 12/1 just off a daft £20 bet. It's a money making game most likely the other markets are dropping to cover the Sean Dyche bets.. even though they were really low to start off with. It could just as easy be Michael Carrick 16/1 or Chris Hughton 25/1 or Ole Gunnar Solskjaer 25/1 that's how far out the odds were to start off with and Chris Wilder was short from the off.

No way does he dump a long term project with targets on the horizon to be landed at Stoke in major disarray with his hands tied. Stoke suits Sean Dyche and it wouldn't be too much of a stretch for him to step straight into the driving seat (if they can afford him) Joey Barton could do well there and it's a easy step up for him. Duncan Ferguson has been mentioned, along with Michael Carrick and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.. each one a change of direction further from the last.

The big heart breaker for me would be Tony Mowbray, they have a thing for our most loved defenders.. plus he's not far off being the perfect man for the job!
 
Don’t know why he would leave us for stoke ?

Similar sized clubs
Parachute payments gone ( or nearly all gone) so I don’t think they’re any richer either

Where is the incentive ?

Might not have to be given development strikers? Might not have to accept recruitment team players and actually get players you want? 🤷‍♂️
