We are very unstable off the pitch & struggling on the pitch, but we haven't set numerous new records for being fkng rubbish. Records that will last decades, at best, and we still aren't down, unlike them. Opinions innit? it is pal, I just don't know how far we can fall.

We on the other hand are on life support and staring at L1 football next season with, no plan, no leadership, undermanned in the playing department and a childish fool running the club. We have been spinning out of control for over 24 months, slowly getting worse, while those b@stards have been doing a lot of things right off the field and building a fan base at the same time as we call our fans customers. Suffering the embarrassment of a points deduction makes this season the worst in our history in my opinion. We have broken the rules and got caught and been punished, any claims of being a moral upstanding member of English football are now slightly tainted. Disagree about points deduction. They will be in the history books as one of the worst teams ever, that's far worse to me In a few years no one will even remember our shenanigans except us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine they'll probably not finish with the lowest points tally ever, but what a miserable season they've had (isn't it nice to have something in common)... Quite staggering that Wilder continues to receive such largely positive coverage despite how crap they've been. The narrative seems to be hard luck and missing fans. Utter rubbish. They've been appalling this season and Wilder has show no real inclination as to how to change it. They've literally lined up with the same system every week.

Pablo Bonvin Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Why is he going on and on about “proper football people” knowing what’s going on? He said it on the BBC interview and he’s rattling on again about it here. Presumably there’s some agenda against the pigs, an agenda which made him throw millions and millions of pounds down the drain. What a toilet he is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 It's all a mass conspiracy to relegate them...after they finished 9th the previous season. You know, cause if you're going to screw them over, make them think you're on their side first. My personal fav part of that is him talking about Fulham like they're the second coming of Pep's Barca. It's got to the point where he's talking about the fact that Fulham got to the Europa League final about ten years ago. I suppose next time they lose to Forest, he can talk about how they won two European cups. 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Django Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 It was the same old story when they got promoted from league 1, constantly going on about competing with “powerful football clubs” at every opportunity I wonder what the narrative will be if next seasons promotion push doesn’t go to plan. There’s not many squads assembled for £120m in the championship 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owlinmad Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 A friend of mine who has close links to the United camp says the "proper football people" comments are aimed at his clubs owner and the board. Apparently all is not well in the Mardiola camp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smhouston Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Probably because he feels he hasn't been backed (despite his best ever transfer window) Not surprised though with the absolute cack he's signed. I wouldn't trust him with a single penny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ever the pessimist Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 His best bet is probably using some disharmony as his pretext for getting out of there with his reputation (largely) intact amongst their fan base. Ideally, have a director of football installed above him and kick up a stink about that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever the pessimist Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Done a bit of research into the fabled Sherpa Van abandoned game at Wrexham (sad I know, but anything to avoid pondering last night’s match) and it did indeed take place. I can’t find teams listed anywhere, the closest I came was a match program, on which Wilder is listed as due to play in the match. Granted, these were pre printed so he could have been injured or whatever... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
