I didn't trust Wilde from day 1 and i'm not going to pretend i was ever behind him. Others can vouch for this as i was highly critical of his use of Keith Legg and the Saints Trust for the way they both threw away their independence and jumped on the bandwagon.
That said Wilde, at the time, was the lesser of the two evils and had he allowed Leon Crouch to run the show from day 1 i really do think Saints would be in far better shape than we are now following the appointment of the Fulham rejects.
