Time to say "Good bye" and "hello".........

What a time to be a Boro fan! What a time to join Chris Wilder`s red revolution!

One moment we are playing out an entertaining match at The Hawthorns, singing "Super Neil Warnock" - by the time the final whistle blew - we realised it was our last "good bye" to Neil Warnock. Ten minutes later, and "its Wilder" shouts a mate as we walk to the railway station!

It wasnt the way most intended our relationship with Neil Warnock to finish. No matter our individual opinions of Neil Warnock - he saved us from relegation to the old "Division Three" - a fate unimaginable.

He brought on dejected outcast Duncan Watmore [Thanks Sunderland(y)] and gave opportunities to the likes of Isaiah Jones and Josh Coburn.

He brought Sol Bamba, whose contribution has been immense - hes been an inspiration and legend [given his own personal battles].

Neil was given a dirty - job: getting rid of expensive players who were beyond their sell-by date. Unfortunately he wasnt able to persuade George Friend to stay, but players move on, and he`d given us eight good years!

He gave us cause to smile: if the story is true - Rudy Gestede wouldnt budge from the club with just two or three weeks of his contract remaining. He allegedly told Neil Warnock, who hadnt got a place for him in his plans. Story goes - he told Gestede to "pack yer bags" and told him to go!:love:
From proceeding comments online, plenty of fans would have paid for the taxi! 🚖

So its "happy retirement" (?!!) Neil and a big "thank you".

Now its time to turn and face the future with faith, hope and belief! Join the Revolution:

Welcome Chris Wilder To the team that "Play in Red n White.....an we`re dynamite". 💣
We are the Boro - the **** of The North.(y)
We hate Newcastle an Sunlun of course.......⚽

Premier league manager of the year whilst with them, he had us playing some great football that had not been seen at the Riverside for some time after seasons of absolute dross, ok it turned sour in the end but I don't understand people's obsession with CW and his career and all the negativity.
Because he’s a complete slimeball with no morals
 
What's annoying about this is that he's fell upwards .. And what's worse - after Sheff Utd are relegated (which they probably will be) - he'll be sitting pretty in the Championship next season with probably one of the best squads and challenging for top 2 ..

Watching him get hammered every week will be fun though (y) and he can't blame not having a left-footed CB because they've got two.

He ended up looking clueless in the Champo when he was with us. I'm sure he is more than capable of repeating that feat with Utd.

An 18 month contract is hardly a statement of belief in Wilder. Interim manager, because they could not get a proper one given the teams current state.
 
I think that's the point. He was a breath of fresh air after the stodge of Pulis/Warnock and the incompetence of Woodgate. But his hubris got in the way and spoilt what was a great opportunity for both him and the club.
Pulis was dreadful, Woodgate was left treading water, Warnock saved us.. Wilder did well off having Bamba and Peltier in the squad.

Breath of fresh air? Warnock brought it.
 
Re: the "getting me at my best" I could swear he used exactly the same line when he joined us. Whilst amusing it also points to the fact that presumably he hasn't progressed AT ALL as a manager in the intervening period. Or perhaps he's so perfect it's impossible for him to regress? ;)
