Redcar Rioja 5,872 Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Just now, Humpty said: The Echo and The Gazette released almost identical wording. They've quite obviously been sent an email from the club. If the Echo have said something I'd say that carries more credibility unless they are just re reporting stuff from elsewhere in fear of being last. Bottom line is that there is a very simple, straightforward solution to all of this. Dripping stories out of third party sources is not the way to handle it. Very poor fayre from the Club and especially Wilder himself, it's not too much to ask that the love and support he has enjoyed since he took over is reciprocated. Things like honesty and integrity are not difficult to aspire to, fudging them with ambiguity isn't a good look. The longer the farce drags on the more damage he is doing to his reputation and the levels of trust he has built with the fanbase and he knows that, he has been in football long enough. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Club can't do much if they don't know his true thoughts. Maybe they should say nothing, but it all feels a bit like the Tomlin situation in that they're saying what they know as current facts (even if they don't have all of them), or going further back, the Ziege/Emerson situations where they would publicly state said players weren't going anywhere but deep down we all knew fine well they'd be off once the right package was agreed. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I know he’s stated he’s not his agent but he’s involved with those that represent Wilder. Might we have a #NoBidsForTomlin situation on our hands… That all seems to have backfired on him pretty quickly! Link to post Share on other sites

I'd want to see how this rumour started, by who and why. Or if it was just some very bad timing plus some crossed wires. Link to post Share on other sites
ManBearPig 1,833 Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 I actually saw the video of him shutting down the sky reporter as him being *** off that he’s been asked about it. I definitely didn’t get the vibe that he was going it was wanting to leave. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

The only reason this farce will drag on now will be due to the fans that won’t let it go. The Gazette have came out and said there’s nothing in it. There, case over. Get on with the football now. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Social media embraced it as it always does and gave journalists and show presenters a chance to add fuel to the fire, and add there two cents. The gazette have shut it down within 24 hours so as far as I’m concerned, forget it, move on and concentrate on the football. 5 Link to post Share on other sites

So suddenly the Gazette are now back in with the Club after years of being a pariah and its all the fans fault for not letting it go? The fans quite rightly will not let it go because they are either being lied to or being treated with contempt and disdain by the Manager they have given overwhelming support to. There was a very simple two letter word to put all this to bed yesterday and 24 hours later it is still festering because the individual himself has decided to play games. Unfortunately the longer it goes on the more deafening his silence becomes. Boro fans are not mushrooms and deserved far more respect from Wilder. Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I do think it's telling that not one rumour seems to have come from the Burnley side - it's all Boro fans. From what I can tell, they're more interested in talking about Knutsen and Kompany.
