Being told that your captain is being released at the end of the season isn't gonna get Wild foaming at the mouth at the prospect of taking the job full time...

 

Just for a point of reference here, 130 out of 136 votes cast [thus far] would offer him an extension.

Lemmy can think of about four thousand reasons why he shouldn't get a second series...

He's shown he can put a training session on and get the team ready, managers live and die on recruitment though, has he got the contact book to improve the current squad?

I think that's short changing him a tad, he's pulled some pretty good performances out of what I think is overall an average squad.

 

Each of the three - I thinks its three - managers this season has had pretty much the same or similar squad and on balance Wild has got the best out of them.

 

As for contacts, well who knows? I think Wild has done his reputation no harm whatsoever this season in difficult circumstances to say the least.

Recruitment would be the big worry for me especially given the likelihood of further budget cuts.

I think PW knows his way round the lower leagues, so that aspect would be less of a worry for me, but it's the fact he wouldn't be able to sign even half a team of his preferred players.

Nice trolling, If it's so easy (and anyone who is manager  knows the difficulties) how come Scholes, Bunn, Wellens, Robinson, Dunn, Kelly, Holden, Sickov, Penney, Talbot, Sharp et al all struggled or made very little headway.?

I wouldn't be adverse to going in for Big Sol in the summer. Surely he'll have ideas higher than Macclesfield...

Well, plenty of them had never done it before...

 

I'm not knocking the job he's done but he's done it under very little pressure really.

Suspected as much, so between relatives will be a definite no-no I assume.

Pete has been excellent and is fully deserving of the job but I'd guard against it if I were him, as he's already mentioned previous, he's a family man with responsibilities and by stepping in now and again doesn't carry the same consequences others have found.

He always has a fall back position

Anyone who says a performance of over 50% win ratio is anything other than excellent with the circumstances makes me question their judgement and expectation level

I'd say expectation, rather than pressure. 

Twice he has been dropped in the shit, whilst still doing all the Youth team work. 

A mere mortal would have crumbled, just a step too far. But he galvanised a split and divided team. 

He was on Match of The Day within a very short time and no training. 

He got wins, and defended well where others could not. 

The pressure was huge, the expectation was low. 

Nonetheless, very few people, even ex players could achieve what he did.

It takes a lot more than putting a few cones out, especially at our disfunctional club.

Please explain where there is any logic in this? How is he any better than what we have now?

That assumes what we have now is still there by the summer....

If rumours are true, we won't have his fall back option.

He's a football manager now, he's earned the right to be considered that.

He'd do a decent job at L1, but likely no one will take the risk. He'd get a shot at L2 and have a chance. He could easily succed at most Conference clubs. Or the Academies of a Champ/L1 team easily. He's skillfully jumped 2 or 3 levels based on his ability.

Been impressed with his interviews but you find a lot of the younger lads are confident in that area these days.

 

Not sure about huge pressure, never really been in the hunt for anything other than mid table.

 

He's done well on the whole over a short period of time but there's been a few stinkers in among it and I've not seen much evidence of any great tactical nous.

Quite a few have a huge amount of media training and are not able to equip themselves nearly as well.

Everything is by agreement and there's no chance in this world that A.L would disrupt or rid himself of such a talisman but pete might not want what you're suggesting and going off previous comments he seems happy with his present arrangement.

Ambition is good but expectations another thing
