Danny Wilson

[Coca Fola]

I still like Wilson.

[Boeta]

1st season - kept us up
2nd season - had us playing the best football in the league and almost took it up
3rd season - recruited terribly and fucked it up

still enough there for us to reflect on his time fairly favourably. lets face it pretty much any manager leaves on quite bad terms for one reason or another. surprised hes got a gig at such a 'big' club but if he gets his recruitment a lot better than he did a year ago then they will be near the top of the league playing good football

Danny Wilson > Paul Hart

At least we had a bit of a chance with DW, and wasn't play 4 5 fucking 1

wilson was kept too long.the run of games before his sacking was shocking.

Find it hard to harbour any ill-feeling towards Wilson. It all fell apart pretty spectacularly at the end, but he did more good than bad while he was here. Sure he'll do a decent job at Shef Utd, good luck to him.

[Sippo]

I'm not saying that, but if you're gonna bring someone in that isn't as capable, I would've stuck with the same person til the end of the season.

[Arriba]

or brought in somebody who could turn it around? we sacked a dour 1 plan manager and replaced him with another.

I had to chuckle at this on the dodgy rumours site.

The following will be the first signings of Danny Wilson to Sheffield United:
-Owain Tudor Jones will join on loan from Norwich City after impressing Wilson playing for Wales.
-Theo Robinson will join from Derby County after recently falling out with Nigel Clough.
-Wilson will bid for Simon Cox from West Brom but is unlikely to come.
-Jerel Ifil will join from Bristol Rovers.
-Anthony McNamee will join on a free transfer.
-Billy Paynter will join from Leeds on loan.
-Alex Henshall and David Ball will join on loan from Man City.
-United will bid £400,000 on Gordon Greer from Brighton.
-Craig Easton will join from Southend United on a free transfer.
-Lee Trundle will make a surprise return to English football and join United on a one month rolling contract.
-If Reading get promoted, Wilson is ready to pounce to take defender Sean Morrison on loan.
-The big transfer of the summer for United will be the signature of Charlie Austin. Austin hasn't played much football at Burnley and Kevin McCabe looks set to wrap up a surprise permanent deal for the proven League 1 goalscorer.
-Wilson will also target Jamie Stephans and Stephan Darby from Liverpool, Simon Ferry and Paul Caddis from his old club Swindon.
-These are all targets Wilson wants, some may not be loan deals, some could be more permanent, especially with a big clear out expected at 'The Blades'. He is keen to bring some of his own staff in over the next few days with Paul Bodin expected to help John Pemberton with the youth team and ex Arsenal keeper George Wood to be coaching the goalkeepers.

'Monumental cock up'?

Hmm.

Doesn't really cut the mustard KT, does it?

Blaming Hart for relegation? Jog on.

did i actually blame hart for relegation there?  and 'jog on'?  grow up...

i also note you failed completely to even aknowledge the points about what wilson did for the club, probably because they don't serve your argument well at all.

[Nick Bamosomi]

I feel sorry for him really, because if the fans are that antagonistic before he's even started he doesn't really stand a chance. I hope he does a good job for them.

[stfctownenda]

WTF! How come Wilson is suddenly a 'nice guy / top bloke' etc?

In my book, the stumpy little cunt can go fuck himself. He left us in deep shit with a squad of gutless wankers (mostly).

Whatever went on in the background after the Wembley no-show - Austin putting it about, Fitton interfering, panic signings etc, his ineptitude left us at the bottom of the league, utterly fucking humiliated below a side in administration with a 10 point deduction.

Some of you have short / deluded memories.

Hahaha brilliant you calling other people deluded when you did a huge post after Swindon fans dared to voice there disapproval at Paul Hart when we lost at home at Notts County, saying you have never been so ashamed to be a Swindon fan following the behaviour of our fans that day which was a rediculous comment.

Wilson contributed to our downfall no doubt with a terrible year last season but Hart had more than enough games against easy opposition where he put out sides that were negative, unmotivated and lacklustre, both managers equally contributed to our downfall.

Wilson delivered a fantastic season 2 years ago and the wins against Leeds home and away, Southampton away, Charlton in the play offs will live long in the memory.  He had us playing attractive attacking football and we barely lost all year so for me good luck Danny hope you do well at Sheffield United!

[reeves4england]

Got your cage well and truly fucking rattled, eh Vicar?

As KT has said, grow up. Having a pop at anybody with a different opinion to you is pathetic. Even those with strong feelings in the debate about fascism have showed a lot more respect, restraint and open-mindedness than you do in a debate about whether or not Wilson was a nice guy.

[Batch]

actually I am slightly concerned he'll come in for caddis and ferry.  though he treated ferry like shit so that may be a no go.

wilson is suffering the same kind of reception we have malpas here.  pressure is on.

[Don Rogers Shop]

Don't be. Sheffield united are skint and could not afford Caddis

[Jean-Francois is God]

Good luck to Danny at Sheffield United, hope he wins those fans round and gets them promoted because in all honesty, Sheffield United (and the same goes for Sheffield Wednesday) should not be playing in League One.

I will always remember Wilson for the 09/10 season, making it a pleasure to follow Town home and away and will never forget (as others have said) the wins against Leeds & Southampton etc and the PO semi finals against Charlton, I am being a sentimental twat here, but those memories will stick with me for the rest of my life.  Whether you like him or not, you have got to admit that under Wilson that season we played some decent stuff and dont under-estimate the things he done behind the scenes along with the Board to get STFC running in a more professional manner.
