Few rumours floating on fb and twitter that Wilson and Howe have had a fall out.
Apperently Wilson didn't want to be on the bench for Brighton game and has had a strop at Howe.
His 2 game injury cos he's downed tools to a degree.
He's also pulled out of a fan event tonight.
Could of course all be *******s and he's just really ill. . . who knows.
My first thought when I read that was 'he's obviously really not well'.
And, even if he has had a fall-out with Howe, I think he'd still do a fan event. Everything I've heard and seen about him-including a private video he sent to a child at school with cancer, speaks of a man who genuinely cares about the club and fans.
I'd agree with you Zip, everything I've seen and read says that.
Yet . . . no smoke without fire usually applies somewhere.
Hopefully I'm completely wrong though, as it would be a terrible way for his career to peter out here like this.
Aye, Jammy. The fallout with Howe could be genuine, too.
Like you say, it'll be a big shame if it ends on a sour note.
Wonder if it'll affect the dynamics within the squad? Would think Wilson is a pretty popular guy?
Someone else pointed out that we stopped Wilson going to Athletico in Jan - maybe he wanted that move and it's been simmering since.
I would think he is popular to be honest, certainly gives that impression.
Howe has said he'll be avaliable for Sunday game. . . so hopefully this will put rumours to bed.
Like any manager, Eddie is 'loose' with the truth when it comes to injuries/team selection....and so he should be. Why give the opposition an advantage by revealing stuff in a pre-game presser.
But...I don't think he's into the whole full-on bullshit mode that some managers are...so when he said the other week that he'd like Wilson to stay and would do everything in his power to make this happen, i believe him.
i guess the question now is whether that feeling is reciprocated by Wilson.
