Spoke to a fella who works at the agency that manages Wilder. Not his actual agent, but one from same group.
Prepare to take these comments with a huge pinch of salt!!!
- Tommy Smith was one of the few signings that CW actually wanted. (be aware Tommy managed by same agency!!)
- Boro owners are difficult to deal with (good, Gibbo not rolling over for agents as we know)
- Would not let him sign the strikers he wanted (no names mentioned, but given CW poor track record in that area, maybe no surprise? Also Forss not looking bad for a development signing!)
- CW was not bothered about leaving (er ok, good riddance then)
I liked Wilder and thought it was a match made in heaven. Whether it was the Burnley thing, the not getting his own way thing or his inflexibility in sticking to 3-5-2 when it was not working, I don’t know, but it went wrong and he had to go.
We’ve got Super Michael Carrick….
