Boot the bloke out, them bring him back to manage a far shitter squad than the one he had last season
I can't see why on earth he'd accept.

For some reason he loves the club so expect he will accept. I’d like to see Gordon Ramsay get the job instead.

A Sheffield United supporter who got the job as Sheffield United manager.

The reasons for getting rid of Wilder remain. Are the owners willing to admit they were wrong and go crawling back to Wilder? Would he be happy to work for them again?

It's such a shame they worked out quite quickly that Selles wasn't a very good appointment which was quite obvious at the time.

Well it seems the answer to those questions is yes because it looks to be pretty much done.

It was mental to sack Wilder in the first place.

Brum and Wrexham probably thought they'd walk it because they could spend millions but it's tak no them by suprise, Wrexham got beat by QPR who we put 7 past Disney FC spent 30 million or more on players, brum spent alot too! From what I read Kyogo was poor who cost them 10 million and hasn't scored

Shouldn’t have been sacked in the first place but on principle I’ve no idea why he’s accepting the job again. There must be negative feeling there

It’s like being dumped, them regretting it and going back

Just had a peak at the Wrexham site to see how they rated Sheaf - They say he's an upgrade on Matty James who looks to slow. Also Doyle needs to lose weight.

and then there was this banger. ..

We took just 6 pts from our first 5 games two years ago when we won promotion from league 2, conceding 14 goals. I think promotion is in the bag.

Just wait till Sheafo gets injured stepping off the bus at carrow road

Parkinson has a shite championship record, Coady scores an own goal yesterday, Matty James is shite but the upgrade they signed has legs like a poppadom and Doyle is a fat fuck oh yeah promotion is in the bag for Disney FC

Watching the highlights dont think Coady will play another game for them. Hyam will play all day long ahead that donkey.

What a waste of £2M and a 3 year contract. He won't ever leave them. I have not seen a slower centre back. Makes Hyam look quick.

We've started worse and got play offs.

I think it's the manager and/or trying to add too many new faces.

Too many decent players in that team to not finish top 10 at the end of the season

Current first choice midfield pair were both Jan signings. One or two at or close to that level this time and we'll be in a great spot.

Every time I've watched Blues play this season (3 times, Ipswich, Blunts in Cup, and Lesta), Kyogo has looked poor! Almost a bit too try hard.
The team as a whole presses well and quickly. But have little quality with the ball. And they high pressure is tiring, and I doubt they'll be able to sustain it all season.
Ive not seen a Wrexham match yet so can't comment, though with us being 12.30ko next week and they play Norwich at 3, I might have a look.

Fuck me, if Ben Sheaf is faster than Matty James, then how fucking slow must he be? He must be in reverse!

I agree I've watch brum and they do press quickly but lack that technical quality on the ball, their game against Blackburn they were second best but hit a break away goal at the death, however they can't keep that closing down quickly for the whole season and can see them coming unstuck, I'll be doing the same after our game having a watch of Wrexham, will be tough as they go to Carrow Road and can see Parkinson gets the sack of they lose, they are already looking at alternatives

I think the Sky commentators making it seem like the Pompey keeper was actually injured was a defence mechanism to prevent them from facing up to the reality that this type of shit is ruining football.
