I think a good manager finds a way with the resources he has at his disposal - going to a potless Northampton struggling to avoid relegation, Wilder impressively found a way. With some better quality players at his disposal, it is unreasonable to suggest he won't be able to manage them.
Better quality players at his disposal. Let's wait and see.
Loving this thread. Mainly because I couldn't care less if he signs or not, just hoping the regime bugger it up.
Classic post.
My thoughts 100%
Some managers are only successful with a group of moderately talented players, that they can get to give "110%" and work as a unit, either through bollocking or through motivation.
You couldn't imagine Warnock working his magic at Manchester City for example, as his methods would have little effect on their players
Maybe not but they worked bloody well at Rotherham
That makes extremely depressing reading. I feared this is how it would pan out. Duchatelet is the worst possible combination of absentee owner and micro-manager. He seems to be pathologically incapable of relinquishing control and yet he allows things to drift on aimlessly towards the rocks. Just when I think things couldn't get any worse, he pulls another miracle of incompetence out of his arse.
Ok, below is doubtful but could be one scenario after what has happened in last few days - blog from @ChicagoAddick gives the best interpretation of the story.
No decent manager likely to sign based on the fact that Roland will not release control.
Therefore he can only employ a network manager to get him out of this mess. So far all have failed and will do so again.
He now knows this and will realise his only way out is to sell.
Clutching at straws? Maybe ...but we can only hope.
I mean, what's the implication of not putting it in writing?
The only example I can think of here is when curbs sued west ham for going above his head and selling players without informing him or getting approval, like he wasn't part of the decision.
His contract agreement said otherwise...I think.
RD: you will have control over transfers and of course full control over team selection.
CW: great. Where is this in the contract agreement?
RD: it's not going to be in writing incase I change my mind at any point.
CW: soooo, ultimately I won't have any assured control, in other words, relatively normal football management responsibilitiy. It's not a job then. Also why does the contract say 1 year with 1month probation? What weird lawyer wrote this up
So, within a matter of months we have gone from a club that supposedly had dreams of the premier league to a club that can't attract a league two manager. Where the owner goes to next God only knows, they haven't got the bar set very high. Maybe someone with a PlayStation could have a crack at it. Murray, in his interview a few months back, said that an owner wouldn't deliberately do what RD appears to have been doing all along. I wonder what his views on the current state of the club are now, not that his opinions really count for much these days.
Perhaps we should give Roland another chance [removes tongue from cheek in case there are any doubters]
The worrying/sad/sickening thing is as soon as CWs name was mentioned some on here were saying exactly that !!!!
Have to say the last thing on my mind was to give Roland another chance in any way, shape or form, but had he signed up Chris Wilder *and* given him control of signings he might have got a very small (and grudging) increase in his approval rating from me as it would have indicated he had finally realised how he could see a return in his investment in the club.
It's pretty obvious to everyone except Roland that you make money in football from fielding successful teams. I think even Squirrel Face actually gets that point, strange as it may seem. Financial results follow sporting results. It may not be the vision Roland has had for CAFC, but if no-one else plays like that you're only going to foul up and fast - and this club has done exactly that.
Can't help but feeling there was an element of the club wanting to be seen to be talking to the kind of manager the fans would buy into. Clearly Roland was not going to change - Riga's comments hinted it was the same as before for him - and so Wilder was never likely to buy into the club. Now they are free to appoint a chump willing to roll over and have his tummy tickled.
A half competent lawyer would have been able to word the agreement so that Wilder thought that he got what he was asking for - unfortunately KM does not appear to be is not a half competent lawyer.

It shows that Wilder did not think Roland or Katrien could be trusted. And he's only just met them!

Colin declares Wilder is done deal (page 21 I think)
Wilder realises RD says one thing but won't confirm in writing what he said he
Deal's off
Colin declares deals off because Wilder used us to get Sheff United job
RD and KM make yet another incompetent decision in the 2 and a bit years they've been here

I think I've found what she does all day which is to contact Google and have items removed as a result of them being 'excessive'.
The profile is now looking cleaner than it has for months.

None of it.
