What a fantastic interview from Wilder!

[tomytony]

What is certain is that it puts to an end speculation as to whether or not the situation is affecting the football side.

The very thought of it upsets me. If we lose this man as our manager then we lose everything. He is creating an identity. I’ve never felt so safe with a manager in all my years as a Blade. Proper deflated after today. Don’t know if anyone is. I don’t feel upbeat about us having an alright season. Feels weird.

Not that I want to, but if I had to lay money on it, the top table battle will drag on and CW will walk

maybe chris walking is what the prince is after ???

Well anybody who was ever in doubt about the situation behind the scenes can’t be now.

It’s pointless having a pop at the Prince. He’s been in the back seat from the off and let’s not forget who brought him onboard. It’s McCabe who needs to get his act together. That fact that tiny Burton and almost bankrupt Bolton with their player ban were the only teams with smaller budgets than us is scandalous. I suppose McCabe would point out that we did ok, but what this proves is that he was prepared to gamble on Wilder pulling out a few rabbits, he didn’t even give him low to medium backing, it was dire.

Just look at where Burton and Bolton are with 1 game to go, second and third from bottom. McCabe yet again was prepared to suck it and see DESPITE having the windfall of the Walker and McGuire sell on money and risk us falling straight back down to League One. If that had happened who knows how far we could have sunk.

He really has outstayed his welcome IMO. If Wilder goes it could knock the club right back to the Adkins days and most fans will completely lose faith again. I know some will immediately jump to McCabe’s defence but I think that he’s absolutely no idea how to build a successful football club on the pitch, with him it’s all about the real estate and always will be. I don’t trust him and I never will.

McCabe needs to do what’s right, find a buyer with substance and then GO and take his ex mate with him. Change is needed at SUFC and it’s obvious that he’s not got the wherewithal to even sustain the club at this level. If he must have a new toy to play with, he’d be better off nipping across to Chesterfield, they’re more his league nowadays and he could make himself a real hero if he gets them back into the league.

Agree with what you say Gray but McCabe won't go and that means it will drag on and on. To get into the premiership you need billionaire backing not millionaire. Our two owners didn't have the cash when they were happy partners. Time for them both to withdraw gracefully and let others who will be interested in a potential top end championship club invest.

Cobbling together another mish mash of the existing ownership arrangement just won't work and CW will eventually walk.

No point worrying about it pal if it happens there's nowt you can do to stop it,just worry about things you can change. I hope they can sort their differences out but I doubt it,it's almost as if it's part of the plastic princes plan so he can get his man in,I really hope they both see sense and get behind chris he's as good a manager as I've seen down here,but I ain't gonna worry about it,too many things in life to worry about without another one
