However, the main reason why I don't want him is the obvious one ....... Wilder's a scummer! Spent 4 years there as a youth player, so that's him ruled out!
I assume that remark is tongue-in-cheek. There may be good reasons not to appoint Wilder, though I'd say that on balance his managerial career is in credit. Spending four years at Southampton in his teens is not one of them. I don't think we bore a grudge against Alan Ball for having had two spells up the road as a player and one as a manager, on the contrary, and rightly so.
Agree with that Bubbles though it always carries a slight stigma until someone proves themselves with us. Alan Mcloughlin took a while to win the fans over but ended up one of our best servants.

The year we won league 2 he was in conversation with Enda Stevens before the end of the season and persuaded him to join Sheffield utd.
That was excellent business.
His record thereafter to the prem was just out of this world.
He also took Northampton and turned yhem into great league 2 champions

Kenny Jacketts cv looked pretty good too, until Orient.
