Greenhgate Owl Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 obviously only remembered by his Time at Wednesday for the Infamous incident . but what a player he was up there with the best I've seen at Hillsborough. anyway my all point is would you have kept him on or shown him the door? personally id have kept him ,rumours that he wasn't happy here but it was just rumours. too much of a class player to let go too easily and Wilson bottled it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soldierboyblue Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Wilson was incapable of managing egos and a huge club, we should have put our arm around him like Alex Ferguson did with Cantona, let him take his medicine and then reintegrate him. The architect of letting him go was Dave Richards who was feathering his nest for the Chairmanship of the PL? We should have kept him or at least got proper money for him.

areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Judging by the way some of our fans currently want to jettison Forestieri, I assume they'll also have wanted rid of Paulo back in '98. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markowski77 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 After waddle, Shez & Hirst....best player to grace a Wednesday shirt in my lifetime, for all the younger generation imagine FF x 20 the goals against Everton away was magical, Southampton away exquisite and the last minute goal again Barnsley, sending the kop into raptures... his exit was was the start of our downfall unfortunately as a certain someone wanted the top job at the fa rather that defend a Wednesday player. We we hung him out to dry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His only downfall was that he was / is, utterly barking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David1867 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 It's an absolute no brainier. To have a player of that quality at the club and make an example of him was an absolute disgrace. He could do things that nobody else at the club could even dream of. The sort of player you do do whatever it takes to keep hold of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsHall Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 That game when he ran about half the pitch to give the linesman some grief about a nothing throw in...barking for sure, but definitely class. UTO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slagging his team mates off in the Italian press etc. 96-97 season = 7th in the prem without him. 97-98 Season= 13th in prem (after a flitation with relegation) with him 98-99 season = 10th(?) in prem 50/50 for him.

The sort of player you do do whatever it takes to keep hold of. My thoughts exactly. Chris Waddle and Shezza and Hirsty (and even Tricky Trev) were all fantastic but PDC was the best player I've seen in an Owls shirt - in my opinion. That goal away at Everton was utterly brilliant, and did that every few weeks. I think at the time Dave Richards had his name down for a top job at the FA - no surprise that PDC was left to hang. He was kicked all over the pitch that day with no protection. The club should have done everything possible to keep the best player in years, if not decades.

UTO. Remember that game, it was v Stam , I think, and we were drawing at the time and The idiot spent 10 mins arguing with the lino for a throw in that wasn't, effectively leaving us with 10 men, it was in that time when S'tam scored the only goal. Went reight off him then. Ask your selves this, he was admired by the Great managers of the time, Fregie and Wenger, so why, if he was so good, did they not ****** our hands off with the price at £1.75m?.
