Should Wilson be sacked

[Costanza]

Ask me now and I'll say that I do not believe Danny Wilson should be sacked.

It is semi-interesting how close this poll is and arguably a good indication as to why Wilson isn't going anywhere just yet.

[flammableBen]

I didn't post any justification. The justification is that despite playing shit we're reading the same play-offs just a couple of wins away shit in the paper from Wilson and certain players. That indicates to me that none of them have a clue at the predicament we're in.

It's been discussed well enough in other threads. A poll just seems pointless to me.

Good point (& first post.)

This is a subject that obviously divides the fans, lets face it we don`t need too much to divide us.  I may get called a cunt for this, but has anyone thought that it may not be just down to DW.  We all know AF has his badges and from what I am told was quite active when Hungerford chairman.  I am as grateful as the next man that he stepped in when he did and am sure that he has the best for STFC at heart, but maybe, just maybe, he is behind some of the problems.  Nobody can honestly say what is going on behind the scenes.  It could be that the time is right for us to appoint a Director of Football, someone with experience of the football league who could act as an intermediary between AF and DW.  Just a thought, and i apologise if it seems daft to some but it could work

cired45, are you wondering if Fitton is selling players for (in his opinion) footballing reasons rather than financial ones. Or whether hes picking the team or something?

Not having a go, just not clear to me what you are getting at.

If so, my opinion is I don't think he'd do that. IF there is a problem it would be between Wilson and the squad.

I do wonder if Fitton's development policy is one of the reasons we're playing Caddis ahead of Amankwah.

Wilson has obviously identified Caddis as a player he wanted and Fitton has splashed the cash.

Fitton seems willing to spend money on players that we can then sell on at a later date for a profit. It's part of his business model for the club.

Fitton has said repeatedly in interviews that players don't develop sitting on the bench or playing reserve team football, its competetive football thats required.

Therefore Wilson needs to play Caddis to develop him so we can sell him later.

That sounded quite sensible when it came into my head whilst out running, but looks like horse manure written down. I can't be arsed to delete it having typed it up though.

We're playing Caddis instead of Amankwaah because the latter has been woeful this season.

[Barnard]

I agree he wasn't great at the start of the season, but he was carrying an injury for a significant period of time. I don't think Caddis has been up to much personally and would like to see a fully fit Amankwah given a run in the team now. it's not like we'd be breaking up a consistent defensive unit.

It is exactly right, and something I posted yesterday...(well think I did...heavy night) hence Greer goes, against Wilson's wishes, because Morrison is seen as a potential replacement...lo and behold we get 250K for Morrison.

Any new manager is going to have to work within this framework....

[Arriba]

or maybe fitton needs to change his stance?

[DV]

If that were true then surely we'd be playing Ferry ahead of Prutton, Douglas and Timlin.

[Bodins left foot]

And if this policy exists how does it fit with Prutton, Pericard, Dossevi and Rose?

All have been around the block and I can't think Fritton thinks Wilson will polish them in to cash cows.

I think it's the general position....obviously it doesn't mean 1-11 are going to be kids, but lets imagine that Wilson wanted to go and buy Nelson with the money we got for Greer, I'd think he'd get vetoed by the Board, whereas they are prepare to sanction Caddis/Ferry and Ritchie, as they might increase in value.

[flammableBen]

Fitton has always been open about his youth policy when it comes to spending money. There's no big conspiracy or anything.

Even with the sale of Greer, I don't think Wilson's been too hard done by. I'm sure their are plenty of managers who'd love to have the budget structure we have at this club.

[Barnard]

If that were true then surely we'd be playing Ferry ahead of Prutton, Douglas and Timlin.

Yeah, thats where it falls down. The Prutton situation I can only put down to Wilson's stubborness in persisting with him as a result of him being 'The' signing of the summer.

With Pericard, Dossevi and Rose, Wilson hasn't persuaded Fitton to part with cash with for up and coming players in the same position.
