Next Manager

[CrazyKopCorner]

Only consolation is that he has to be better than Cooper and RVFN

I personally don’t think you can criticize wilders campaign too much for last year.

 

They essentially hit a bad patch of form at the wrong time with the results in the image below. This also happened to Enzo, both sides bounced back but for Sheffield it wasn’t enough.  And the playoffs are always a roulette. 
 

The question is more how he fits the club and I’m not sure his methods would work here. He has always carried the essence of a league 2 manager and I’m just not convinced that would work for us. it would be the same as when Holloway rocked up here, just an awful fit for the club. 
 

how can we be progressive  then go for someone who’s shaped from 90s football.  I just can’t see it being anything other than a disaster. hope I’d be wrong, but my gut tells me this is a terrible appointment

how can we try to be so progressive then go for someone who’s shaped from 90s football.  I just can’t see it being anything other than a disaster  hope I’d be wrong, but my guy tells me this is a terrible appointment 

tbf he did pretty woeful at watford and Boro in the championship,

some managers just click at certain clubs, like Pearson with us

[Tomek]

I’m praying the only reason Wilders name is out there is to make a Dyche appointment more palatable. 

[mozartfox]

This kind of rumor is forcing me into asking AI for a gallows design.  If this true, then Rudders definitely needs to go. He is the Rachel Reeves of DoFs.

From what I heard from a colleague who  knows Ian Woan, we won’t pay him and Dyche what they want.

They also feel they’ll be at a premier club by Christmas!

Now that’s optimistic or delusional.

Probably fair isn’t it. One of the promoted teams will appoint him.

Dyche could be, Doubt Wilder would. Glad we wont pay Dyche what he wants.

@SecretPro let’s get on the blower to your source for an update mate. I’m struggling here!  

[Gazza M]

Hoping the other manager links are smoke screen for Rohl. I wouldn't be against Wilder as I think he is decent at Championship level if they can't get Rohl. Need either appointed by Friday really so players know where they stand now.

I don't expect the club to give regular updates on their intentions but the complete lack of anything whatsoever is surely damaging

[FoxesTez]

They were interviewing in London on Friday. Hopefully means we might see some movement soon. 

[alanf0x]

When they interviewed king yesterday he did say, let's see what happens over the weekend, when asked about next week. 
 

May mean something close in the pipeline... or more than likely the club aren't telling him anything, so his guess is as good as ours!!

Vardy can do better than Las Palmas

I meant for McBurnie to be his replacement.

June 16th and June 20th for Enzo and cooper…

We’re running quite late even by our standards

Go see a doctor about that as soon as you can. We don't want that spreading

Start with a half and remember to drink plenty of water.

Similar to Cooper but without a promotion. Kept Bournemouth up because we were dog muck (Cooper benefitted from that too) and then after a solid start at Wolves he fell apart and was set to relegate them I'd you guessed it, we weren't so pony.

 

I'd be very nervous with him but he starts well at clubs at least.
