Done a good job at Sheffield United. seems strange. 6 hours ago, Major Isewater said: Maybe they do but the issue lies with Wilder himself ? Perhaps he’s holding out for another Prem job or his wage demands post COVID-19 are too high? More likely he’s waiting for Jailbird Joey to get the heave ho so he can manage the Barcelone of the fourth division ! Suspect one problem might be that Wilder had a £4m “payoff” which might actually mean they didn’t pay him off but are still paying his wages…until someone wants him and will need to buy him out of his contract. Paying off £4m is not good for FFP. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simster Posted September 21, 2021 Report Share Posted September 21, 2021 On 16/09/2021 at 09:17, Super said: I don't think he is a bad manager but Forest is a mess of a club and i think anyone would struggle there. Certainly a lot of truth in this. Of course he's an absolute legend at Brighton, but Forest like Newcastle is a poisoned chalice at the moment. His first 6 months were ok, where he steadied their ship and kept them up. Their big problem was their recruitment over the summer - it was a shambles. I'll explain: a key criticism of Hughton is that he is too defensive - insist on protecting slim leads, play one up top against the best sides etc, but that isn't actually fair. It's just that he is a pragmatist. Give him the tools to assemble an attacking side and that's what you get. What I think happened at Forest is that they watched 6 months of necessary but pragmatic, dreary football to ensure safety, and as a consequence the chairman was unconvinced about loosening the purse strings. So the summer has seen 4 players promoted from their U23s, all of whom have been crap/underwhelming, and hardly anyone decent has come in. The result was more pragmatic boring crap football. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midlands Robin Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 1 point from 7 games. Hughton sacked. 7 points from 3 games. And suddenly the Forest players remember how to play football. How very strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
