Is it same Paul Mitchell that used to manage Worksop Town? I used to go to odd game when Waddle was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. I don't know him but I used to work with his Mrs some years ago when he was manager of Gainsborough Trinity. She was a blade though iirc but Paul was definitely an owl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Wilder is staying with the lower league scuffers if true. Don't think he's got what it takes to manage established PL players. The annoying thing is, it will probably be successful.

Imagine being "lauded for the way they play", "globally recognised" and "everybody's favourite second team" despite: Finishing midtable Scoring 1.03 goals per game Lowest average total goals per match (rubbish attack, despite spending over £40m on attacking players, but strong defence, with their best player belonging to Man Utd) Fewest number of goal attempts in the league Fewest shots on target in the league 4th lowest average possession in the league Highest number of long balls in the league Fewest number of through balls in the league 4th lowest completed pass percentage in the league Yep, stunningly entertaining football that - and that's "the best season ever"!

Blackpool did similar for a couple, or maybe 1 season i forget. Stoke did well for quite a while with a similar model. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsons Cross Owl Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Wilder has already same they are looking at freebies, bringing in yet more lower league players. You can only survive going this way for so long. There are no Bournemouths or Watfords to save them next season, I will stick my neck out and say it's a cert relegation for the snortbeasts.

UTO I really hope you are right but some on here have been predicting this Piggy implosion for 4 seasons, and it never happens, in fact the swines keep getting better and better. They were supposed to bottle promotion from league 1, and went up with 100 points. Then they would get slaughtered in the Champ, before smashing it in 2 seasons. Next we were all looking forward to watching them get thrashed on MOTD every week. It didn't happen, and I doubt it will happen next season. Sadly, the bog roll prince seems much more willing to stump up than McSue ever did, and Wilder is very good at playing things down regarding transfers. He said they wouldn't spend in January, before spunking 20+ million on Berge. Whether he turns out to be any good or not is another question. As for being relegation certs, unfortunately I think there are plenty of other candidates. Villa will be awful as long as Smith is in charge. West Brom are THE serial yo-yo ers. Noone knows how Fulham or Brentford might fair. Then you chuck in Palace, Newcastle and Brighton. Burnley are prone to sloshing around down there from time to time too. I think it will be a tougher season overall, but I don't think they will go down. Edited August 4, 2020 by Sheff74 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
