    My hunch is this was due to be confirmed late yesterday / early today but hit a hitch.

    I don't expect it to be a major one, terms would have been known before talks and Wilder clearly wants the job (he would have spoke to others well in advance and that hasn't put him off). He holds the cards though in this so suspect a bit of last min negotiation is going on for him / his team.

    My gut feeling says this will still go through later today / tomorrow. If it doesn't then the club look ridiculous and they know that.

    If this doesn't go through then we're well and truly buggered for the season imo. I imagine this will be the only respectable manager that will even give the job a thought.

    So we have an up and coming manager desperate to prove himself who seems keen to come to us. Now it's hit a snag. Maybe the realisation that he won't have total control after all. Only our inept board could fcuk this up!!!!

    Wouldn't be the first time they've looked ridiculous recently.

    But I hope you're right

    If Lennie recommended Wilder, it seems strange that he would reject a role himself, but be prepared to condemn Wilder to face the very bullets he has dodged. If Lennie was DOF, I could see it working with Wilder as manager, thus detaching Meire from footballing matters. But as already stated, if Wilder has to take advice from Meire, I can't see it lasting five minutes.

    Thanks Henry.

    A relatively recent chant of ours, often mistaken for tsunami.

    I think it is great news it has hit a snag. Not because I don't want Wilder - I think he looks to be just the man we need - but it shows that he isn't so desperate that he will join us on any terms. So hopefully when the snag is sorted (if it is sorted), we will be in a much better position to be successful as he will have the necessary assurances.

    Wait until we approach the Wycombe Wanderers' manager next. We'll have one of the Chairboys' fans logging on to here as Sofa Army.

    Not sure I share your optimism, but I do hope you're right.

    Football fans are fickle - if he stayed and signed a new contract with us and stated he is here to stay then fair enough - without that it wouldn't work.

    I actually think he is the best manager you could hope for in your situation. CW performed miracles with us when having a corrupt (allegedly) chairman to deal with.

    I wouldn't disagree, I'm hoping it all goes through, but we know that the people in charge are complete morons.

    Addicks Championship diary suggests a snag that may prove to be a sticking point. Wonder what that could be ?

    (Apologies if this was mentioned above).

    There would be a shock \ a last minute hitch that meant a well publicised deal & negotiation does not go ahead.

    She's in defensive. Mode. She will have netting installed between her and Wilder for the interview (he will of course have been searched on entry) and she will have the lardy steward/bouncer next to her. Hell, Murray might even be there.

    Perhaps he made the mistake of searching Meire on Google ... or Charlton on You Tube.

    This could of course be an elaborate ruse by Meire after the criticism that followed her "20 applications" bullshit before Fraeye was appointed. She wants to show she talked to an English manager before appointing another network stooge.

    Our local reporter, who is usually pretty astute, has said things aren't looking good. That was a couple of hours or so ago.

    Maybe Chris Wilde has asked that KM resigning be inserted in his contract.

    Which would only be a sensible thing to request.

    If this winds up being true can we all nominate him for the hall of fame - I don't mean just for this of course, those 3 performances he put in during the 90's were legendary....
