The Wilderless Years


Recommended Posts

One of the problems for managers is that their stock can rapidly diminish

 

Especially if they keep waiting around for "the" job and have demands out of snyc with their achievements in the game

 

The longer he's out of work the harder it will be to get back and his "achievements" will be the tail end of his previous role which was horrendously bad

 

He hasn't built a solid reputation like an Allardyce who will always be seen as some sort of firefighter/problem solver - or a Warnock

 

Much better and more established managers have drifted out of the game after going invisible for a while

 

Best example probably being Curbishley who was tipped for just about every job going - including England - but he wanted a certain level of club in a certain location with certain terms and conditions etc

 

And he never worked again...

I wonder if Eddie Howe will go the same way.

Suppose it could be argued that it happened because it was Sheffield United his hometown club the club he supported as a boy so it all fell into place for him and the club almost a perfect storm for him and would it be for another club?

Chris Hughton probably went the same way waiting too long and probably done now !

I have a sneaky feeling that Wilder will end up at Newcastle.

You're having a laugh surely? 

 

You know he's just waiting for Koeman to get the bullet and he's already brushing up on his Est spaniel.

He won’t be setting his sights that low. I reckon he’s waiting for Joe Biden to kick the bucket.
