The Bear Posted 13 March 2021 Share Posted 13 March 2021 It's up to the board to go out and get Wilder's key targets. That's their job, to trust the manager and buy the players he and his team have identified. They were always going to have to pay through the nose because of their status as a club. Although Brewster and McBurnie were Championship players who'd never played in the PL before, so their fees were way over the top really. Berge you can understand as he came with a good reputation. Ramsdale however is just shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koke Posted 13 March 2021 Share Posted 13 March 2021 25 minutes ago, The Bear said: So it sounds like Wilder is going because he refused to concede on being the decision maker on transfers. The board pointed to Ramsdale and Brewster as to why he shouldn't be. Perfectly fair enough IMO. He's wasted a lot of money on very average players. If they don't trust him to make good transfers they should move him on. Ollie McBurnie is never a Premier League player. To spend £20m on a poundland Andy Carroll is really bad. Right decision to sack him (even if he officially walked). Get a manager in who has a team around him who have a better eye for players. The more I watch Sheffield United and the more I watch Chris Wilder, I start to rate him less and less. He's not a PL level manager and he sounds like a right cvnt in interviews. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyleolly Posted 13 March 2021 Share Posted 13 March 2021 Chelsea are resting a few players hopefully Leeds will take advantage of this saying that they’ve still got a fair amount of talent in their side! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf for 1/2 game is it really worth the risk? But who says the risk next season is less. Risk will be with us for years and years to come but it is very low. At least they are giving each team 1 game with fans. I think there are far greater risks than a football match (pubs, holidays abroad etc.). Let's see how things go over the next few weeks. It's down to the government to decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably feels like it does happen a lot, but it might be occurance where its the home team. And it has to be the away team scoring the first goal of the match (so 1-0) not just taking the lead. This stat is very specific but still 3 times is very low in 1,000s of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though this wont happen....before I could say if Wilder is a PL manager, I would like to see him manage competitive PL Teams like Newcastle, Brighton or a decent WBA....One could say Wilder is at the stage Pearson was before Pearson came back to Leicester on Unfinished business...his Next 2 jobs will define his history... I rate Pearson, But thats my personal-like..!!! After Leicester he still hasnt Stamped his management-characteristics around any potential PL-middle-level team. and Level... We have Made Fun of Mark Hughes, Pardew, Pulis, Bruce etc..but they have all had semi-decent PL careers...Just didn t reach that Next level...

Of course it’s more down to Wilder but the board have to take some of the blame. Of course they do, but any good organisation will seek to make sure they don’t cock up with that kind of cash again. Slightly amending the infrastructure to do so is totally sensible. That’s how majority of modern football clubs run anyway, wilder needs to quieten down and maybe think about what he’s got wrong this year before his next management job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see the problem I do when it’s a goal we want to stand! I guess it’s more the definitive statement they make when the ball goes in rather than saying it may be a goal or they could have taken the lead .....

st albans fox Posted 13 March 2021 Share Posted 13 March 2021 Havertz was five yards offside - if we lost a player to injury making a saving tackle or save I would be livid when the offside was so clear ...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dahnsouff Posted 13 March 2021 Share Posted 13 March 2021 No, I am sort of watching it, it’s just got a bit flat now, plus McManaman is a fanboy for the same old clubs, so need to limit the viewing/listening a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's unmarked as he takes the ball in his stride and into the box, but toe-pokes it wide under minimal pressure from Harrison" Gave me a bloody good laugh on the train 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
