As a supporter of a different team in the Championship I feel they should give him until at least Christmas.

When do we play them?

They have some decent players but not for the system they are currently using. 
 

Best two attacking players starting on the bench.

2 weeks time. He'll be sacked by then. We'll get the fucking sacked/ new manager bounce

Replacing Wilder with Selles is up there with replacing Ralph with Jones in WTF managerial appointments. Every time someone says, "the manager has got to go FFS! It can't possibly get any worse than this!" I think of decisions like this.

And we replaced Jones with Selles……🤭

I’ve got a feeling that the highlight of Selle’s managerial career will be the first up win as our manager against Chelsea, parading around with the black skivvy and blue suit.   Fleetingly we thought we might have the next big thing.   All downhill since.

No coincidence that when Dragan and his mates appointed Selles Saints went down hill .

At this rate we might be able to pick up hamer in January ( if he does not go epl) in a deal with sufc that includes one of our forwards that’s not had much game time on loan or sold but rated going other way plus cash.

He did really well at Reading. I know many Reading fans that were sad to see him go, and would take him back in a heart beat. He had no money and hardly any players in his squad, and they only just missed out on the playoffs. 

Apart from that he has been rubbish everywhere else, and he really needed to hit the ground running. The fans did not want to see CW go, and they loved the idiot, but this has been a huge disaster from the off! 

He did do well at Reading & he was even ok at Hull. But as you say he’s been a disaster at Sheffield.

Why they sacked Wilder is beyond me, the supporters weren’t demanding it, and he was really unlucky at Wembley where they somehow managed to lose a game they dominated.

Doesn't look good good him. The players are good enough but if they get cut adrift next 2 or 3 games clubs get rid asap. Except Saints

The thing is with that game, we were so fortunate Chelsea should have scored 6

Or two, if they're willing to take them, plus come cash. 🙂

From memory Potter rested many of his big names, and the many chances you talk about came in the last 20 minutes when he rang the changes.   Besides the late sublime Ward-Prowse free kick, it was Lavia, Stu Armstrong and even ABK who stood tall.    Selles finest hour.

In the comments under the BBC article one fan suggested that SUFC were solid in 2nd place - but then lost their last 3 league games against bottom six opposition, when just one win would have given them the points to finish 2nd. Arrogance also mentioned.

Selles is more of a fraud of a manager than Russell Martin.

What possessed them to sack Wilder and appoint this idiot?

He’s got a better premier league record than Lego . Won double the amount of games…. 

[Midfield_General]

Another clueless philosophy manager making his players look stupid by forcing them to play suicidal football. Hope they stick with him.

Football club owners, who would have them? The majority are crazy and clueless.

He did have a premier league team though, unlike Lego 2 seasons on, with a squad weaker than when we got relegated.

There was some talk at the time that Wilder and the owners clashed over transfer strategy - owners were going down the data driven route and Wilder wanted more of a say.  Not sure how true that is but Wilder leaving hasn't done them any favours.

[miserableoldgit]

I seem to remember that a lot of people on here wanted him as manager over the closed season.....mind, I am very old, so may be misremembering..,..

Martin did have a lot of say and money to spend on improving that squad.... Instead he chose BBD, Cornet, Wood, Edwards, Taylor, Fraser, Archer ....
