Hands on Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Just to remind ourselves we have Pete Wild (the last man standing) in charge for a rather important run of fixtures. I know nothing about him other than he has been running the Youth Team apparently on his own and now has both the Youths and the First Team. I wonder what he can do other than giving the team at Carlisle a kick up the backside and replacing the hapless Taylor with Hamer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone fill in some history? How long has he been at the club? Did he play at any level? etc.? I'd class Wild as an Oldham name - is he an Oldhamer?

Lee Sinnott Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 (edited) He has never played for Stockport. Absolutely sound as a pound and knows his stuff. He is from Royton and has been a Latics fan all of his life. Can't speak highly enough of him...

kowenicki Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Wild wont do any worse than we did last time out! He seems to be doing ok with the youth. Good luck to him. He’ll care every bit as much, if not quite a bit more, than the last few managers we’ve had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlossopLatic Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 If the players have any professional pride then they shouldn't need a team talk to motivate them. He's on a hiding to nothing on this if he does well he will get the job and will no doubt be expected to carry on managing the youth team and the first team until the owner gets out on the wrong side of bed one day where he will be fired.

Careca9 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 must have the poorest credentials ever to manage a game for a pro team. would hope the team see he's a fan and wants to win and put on a decent display. .he's unlikely to change anything major so players need to put in a good performance. ill be all over a port vale win though on bet 365 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As sound as a pound as he is he shouldn't be anywhere near that dugout tomorrow, it's almost farcical that we've had to turn to him. Might as well hold a raffle next time.

We need to see any sort of win here backed up by a cracking win at home on New years day. If that's not the case then I'd have a wholesale clearout and start afresh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a strange comment at best and the sort that we can do without at the moment. Anyone who has watched the team regularly knows that Nepomuceno is one of our better players.
