Frank Onyeka in on loan?Do you think Wilder was told we would be signing marquee signings? Don't think he would say it otherwise
Can't stand guff like this
Just like over the last few years when we have come so close to that big name big money signing but we’re messed about by the selling club/agent so decided to move onto our next target, usually a cheap loan insteadi dont accept that we were fed lies this closed season - it was genuine and open.
I think it has all become quite tedious really.The summer transfer window stinks of not-joined-up thinking [again].
Now, we go again.
Another day.
Another manager.
Players getting used to yet another gaffa.
New one in.
Usual rubbish - "big club", "get back where we belong" "good chairman"....blah blah blah.
Boro on the merry-go-round.
Not holding my breath.
Its like being in the eye of a storm - flippin dust and noise and wind everywhere.I think it has all become quite tedious really.
Whilst not being a committed Wilder fan I do think he may have been over-promised on recruitment. The statement about "they know what I want" was an indication that he was less than happy with Tav's departure and also what was being considered. It's been said over and over that allowing him to leave without any sign of a replacement was a huge miscalculation (by someone). Wilder's stubborness to alter his style when it became clear that several players weren't capable of playing it consistently wasn't going to end well.We were clearly in for a few players that didn't materialize. Can't blame Wilder for that, nor can you blame him for selling our best midfielder and not replacing him - not sure it was feeding the fans lies.
There's probably something to the rumours doing the rounds but also the performances have been markedly worse since the end of the transfer window. It was like Wilder had thrown the towel in after we didn't get the players we very obviously needed and we were all waiting for the inevitable.
The hastiness of his departure, leaving us without a replacement, coupled with the terseness of the club statement lead me to think there have indeed been festering problems at the club and this is not just about the results.Whilst not being a committed Wilder fan I do think he may have been over-promised on recruitment.

Don’t forget the manager from the very top drawer.It's been going on for years big promises at renewal time only for a million and one reasons for them not coming through the door
