Maybe pin it as a cautionary tale of getting carried away with baseless speculation? If it was baseless then why did he feel the need to address it at all then? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Can take one good sized bet on him and nothing else moving on any of the other candidates to make those odds. Odds aren't based on facts most of the time, just the betting patterns.

Humpty 3,238 Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 It wasn’t an ideal couple of responses from Wilder but the hysteria surrounding it was a bit excessive imo. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Youngy228 1,444 Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 I like the phrase all in especially after Scott Wilson tweeting about 'If he is planning to play poker with Steve Gibson, then he'd better have plenty of chips because he won't have many once the hand is over!' 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites

And that was directly down to him and nobody else, civility, common courtesy and playing with a straight bat are things that are carried out and not espoused but ignored when it suits. His prickly nature caused it and at a critical time when it was not helpful in galvanising the Fans and the Club when most needed. It was very poor management from him. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
