Komazawa Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 I'm sorry but how can people on here keep going on about Wilson and saying that he did well for us? Alright he didn't do badly but surely we'd have won promotion if he'd done well. He had four years in charge, was well backed financially compared to other clubs in the division, had a decent squad of players in a weak league, yet he still couldn't get us promoted. In my book that is a failure. Four years was long enough and he had to go at the end of last season - defeat in the playoff final to a mediocre team like Brighton was a major disappointment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He then had the cheek to say that losing in the playoff final wasn't a failure. That man was a waste of space in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least with Wilson we knew what to expect, and he was consistant. IMO we would be in a much stronger position with Wilson this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nofx Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 A little harsh! We had the best defensive record in the country last year and finsihed 3rd two season's on the trot. I am sure nearly all City fans would more than welcome this 'failure' as opposed to what we are now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WillsbridgeRed Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 It was better under Wilson - And as the last manager of a squad with nearly the same core players he makes the best comparison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO we would be in a much stronger position with Wilson this season. ← Yeah we would have known what to expect - another season of league one football followed probably by a playoff defeat, followed by another season of league one football and another near miss - how much time would you have given him then?! Was four years not long enough? I personally think it was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would have been in a better position with him now, so why employ a manager who has no experience at managing? SteveL made a mistake hiring Tinnion , and he probably realises now.

Peter Taylor or Mark McGhee were better candidates - both gone on to much better things (i.e. Championship football). I've got nothing against Wilson - I just don't think he's a good manager/motivator of players and that's why he's ended up at a deadend club like MK D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhatWill Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 FACT - Wilson improved our chances of winning promotion season upon season that he was here. FACT - Wilson inherited a rubbish squad and much of his time in the first 2 years was spent clearing out all the dead wood. FACT - The City players held Wilson in very high regard and were shocked by his exit at the end of last season. Tinnion excluded! FACT - A lot of people in the media were also suprised by the departure of Wilson - citing him as a man who was doing a decent job at City. That doesn't include numpty Simon Parkinson of the EP who tipped us to finish in the top 2 under Tinnion but never under DW - shows what he knows! FACT - Danny Wilson was very close to getting the full potential out of a group of players who are overpaid and stubborn. That has become very clear since Tinman has been in charge. FACT - Contrary to popular belief, under Wilson we did play pretty good football in THREE out of his four years in charge. FACT - Wilson always defended his players in public, possibly one of the reasons why he was held in such high regard by the players. Tinnion excluded! FACT - Wilson did NOT want Murray back at the club! It was Steve L who instigated the move! I wonder if Wilson would've taken Carey back as well?? FACT - Had Wilson stayed on as City manager you would not have had so many wholesale changes to the squad and many players who have left may well have stayed. Roberts and Hill...for example. FACT - Wilson was sacked for being unhappy at Steve L's decision to cut costs and get rid of Brian Jones. Since the club psychologists departure and Wilson's the discipline of our players has been disgraceful. Again, the players were adament that Jones helped them as people. FACT - Since Wilson's departure, crowds are dwindling (particularly away from home) as the vast majority of City fans have come to realise that, hey, we weren't actually a bad side under Wilson - he kept the season ticket holders happy that for sure as we rarely lost at home! FACT - Now, under Sir Brian we are playing Pulis-esque football - only that would be an insult to Pulis as he did infact have a game plan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evocare Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 It hurts me when i see fans get ratty with.... The Players The Board The Fans Its allmost as if some so called fans prefer it if we are not doing so well so they can get all pissy and spout their i told you so rants, makes me wanna throw. Wilson Did a good job for us, but didnt get us up, this cost him his job. Tinnion likewise has the same problem, but a lot of you idiots have written off the seaons already!! If you want glory support Chelsea, not City. We are a club on the up thanks to continuing support from Steve L, we should NEVER forget what this man and the Cheif exec do for this club. Get behind us and support or get lost! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

openEnd Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 so we have to wait another 4 years then; and we are all pasionate about this club ,unfortunatly that wont get us prommoted. ← Totally missing the point there. Tinman won't be allowed 4 years. He'll be lucky to get 2. Wilson was allowed a season too long in my book. Some even say he should have been shown the door after the Blackpool fiasco, and that was in his 2nd season. As for the reason Wilson is at MKD, perhaps no one else wanted to be associated with that club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
