Wilder eh? I hear he promises fans a world of pure imagination.

Otis · Sep 3, 2012

I've heard he's a bit of a beast.

matesx · Sep 3, 2012

the fans comments are pretty positive

47% win ratio is outstanding

skyblueman · Sep 3, 2012

Fisher .. time to get on with it we cannot afford to lose any more time

pusbccfc · Sep 3, 2012

I've heard he's gonna be shocking.

When I suggested Derek Adams should be the manager (current spell at Ross County won 27, drawn 18, lost 5 (of which 4 were cup games), according to transfermarkt) I was told that "there's plenty of managers in League 1 & 2 with a 50% win rate".
I'm not bothered about names, I want someone effective. If Wilder's got it, we can party. And if he hasn't, would this walk on the Wilder side have been any more of a gamble than anyone else who we can realistically afford or attract?

would prefer Mick McCarthy or Blackwell personally but really dont care as long as we get enterained and they have some ability to get us out of this league!

Not sure I could take Mick McCarthy's post match interviews Stu!!

skybluegod · Sep 3, 2012

stop mcCarthy he will never come to coventry his wages would be massive anyway

SkyBluesAndy · Sep 3, 2012

Can't believe some actually want Blackwell, might as well get Peter Reid back in

kg82 · Sep 3, 2012

He's now gone 1/8 on Victor Chandler, or whatever it's called now.

Oxreality · Sep 3, 2012

His football league win ratio is 35%.

We can afford rent we just don't want to pay it.

Skybluegarns · Sep 3, 2012

Wilder Has just been on radio Oxford saying ' i fully expect to be preparing the team for Wednesday night until otherwise told"

torchomatic · Sep 3, 2012

Interesting to hear he's not denying anything. Where did this rumour originate, I wonder?

Barton wasn't free, so I wouldn't rule out poaching an employed manager completely.

very interesting piece at the weekend from Reid about City saying before he joined the club he was told he would have 10 million to spend and he thought I can get them up and have a chance of keeping them there with that budget then as soon as he joined was told actually its only 1.5 million as we had some unexpected bills and then when he went to McGinnity with players even that was not available to him....the only player he was actually allowed to sign was Stern-John for £250,000

and what a workaholic he was

torchomatic · Sep 3, 2012

No Chris Wilder approach say Oxford.

torchomatic · Sep 3, 2012

Oxford Chairman:

"Chris has completely changed the landscape of the club," he said.
"He has improved the quality of the football and every year that has gone by Chris has improved the team. The squad he has built is excellent.

CW6 · Sep 3, 2012

Hoping this is true, but the odds on him being next manager on some sites are 1/8!!!

ajsccfc · Sep 3, 2012

Just to check, you know those are odds that make the move heavily favoured rather than remote right?

Next manager markets are extremely volatile.

People would have seen/heard rumours over the weekend, and a few people putting 20 quid on would see the odds plummet.

More rumours come out today, more people put a few quid on and the odds end up at 1/8.

Don't pay too much attention to bookies odds on manager markets.

Don't pay too much attention to bookies odds on manager markets.

They are also ideal for a bit of insider dealing. Money talks.
Having said that CW odds 5 mins ago were about 1/2 not 1/8 so maybe he's not our man yet.

Gray · Sep 3, 2012

apparently today is the last day for applicants and interviews start later this week... so could be a while yet before its sorted

rob9872 · Sep 3, 2012

Do you know what time I have until it closes as I'm just putting the finishing touches to my cv?

CCFCSteve · Sep 3, 2012

If he is to get the job I hope it was SISU who backed him down from 50s last week !!! He couldve paid for himself !!!!

Dont know enough about the guy to comment. Just hope he can galvanise the current group of players and play decent football...surely not too much to ask from a manager...is it ?!

covboy9 · Sep 3, 2012

id rather have van wilder lol

i dont care who gets the job, the lower profile the better, all the billy bigchips gaffers we've had have been fecking pump

Paxman II · Sep 3, 2012

I think he went from red hot favourite to cooling off very quickly

Otis · Sep 3, 2012

Well as soon as a club chairman says there's been no approach that immediately would push the bloke's odds right out.

Otis · Sep 3, 2012

And the betting site I've just looked at now has Carsley at 11/1 but Shaw now not even on the list.

Ohh how the mighty have fallen!!
