If you're referring to me, then yes, he was chippy when he was with us and has been, when I've seen him interviewed, on many occasions since. So I'll stand by my comment and my right to an opinion thanks. If that makes me a "King of Irony" then long live the f*****g King. Do I "use the phrase at any occasion"? No, I don't, but I used it here as it was appropriate to my response by way of explaining why I feel as I do.
And in response to you (and others) saying you'll forever be grateful to him for getting us out of the Conference, well he nearly fucked that up. Let's not forget we had the biggest budget and were top until half way through the season. Then Wilder signed players that weren't needed and it all started going pear shaped meaning we had to scrape in via the play-offs. Then, after getting us up, he got rid of certain players far too early and never really had us threatening the promotion places during his tenure. He stayed at the club about two or three years too long in my opinion, and the atmosphere at the time of his leaving was toxic, due in part to the boring football and in part to his demeanour and attitude toward the club and fans. Let's not also forget him touting himself about for every other job that came up. He has had success at Northampton (one season) and Sheffield United, or is it Allan Knill?
Give me Michael Appleton or Karl Robinson any day. Good managers and decent human beings.
