Common sense says that Wilder won't be interested - but ... Fact:. He approached Aberdeen about becoming manager last week and pulled out on Tuesday Fact:. We sacked Fotheringham on Tuesday Rumour:. Wilder is out of the country for 10 days Fact (as good as): Maynard says that Chicho has the job for the next 3 games at least (round about 10 days) Just saying ... Not being pedantic, but your fact or Fothers being sacked Tuesday isn't fact! Was Wednesday.

I think they win on all those points However in my football club top trumps these categories would be a good call: 3 league titles v none 2 league runners up v none 1 Fa Cup win v none 4 Fa cup runners up v one Record attendance 66037 v 53802 Once had an argument with a chestwanker about our relative triumphs. He was adamant they had a much better history. Backed by many runners up. Ffs. I forgot about the trophy you get for coming second in football Another handy one to fire at Chesty’s is - Head to Head wins = HUDDERSFIELD TOWN 32 v Leeds United 29... And also - Record Win / Defeat = HUDDERSFIELD TOWN 6 v Leeds United 1... (15th September 1928) We should have an annual “Huddy gave Leeds six of the best fest” and never let them forget that !!!! 🥃 🥃 🥃 🥃 🥃 🥃 ⚽️ 🥃 (6-1) !! 👍

In all that time the game has changed beyond recognition. Laugh if you like but for me our best ever achievement was survival in the PL in 2018. I'm laughing. Check out footage of pre war football then. A present day pub team would have run riot.

Check out footage of pre war football then. A present day pub team would have run riot. Probably. But clearly not, if that generation of footballer had had the nutrition / health advice, tactical knowledge, physical and mental training, and the same balls to play with. All of which makes it a pointless comparison.

A quick note on the health of people in the early 20th century.
The data on those recruited to serve in WWI show that the men were much smaller than today and suffered from a variety illnesses.
The Army was appalled at strength and fitness of British man at the time. Tooth decay was a particular issue and in some parts of the country at 21 you had all of your teeth removed and replaced with dentures to prevent future issues.
The diet for the average working man was poor and which lead to a number of diseases such as Diabetes, Scurvy, Night Blindness, Goitre, Osteoporosis and Rickets. Many of these are no longer prevalent in our modern society.
Footballers would have obviously come from the healthier section of the community, but with the bar set so low I doubt that their fitness was anything that would match the average man on the street today, never mind a profesional footballer.

During the 1960’s when I started watching Town (1965 onwards) they used to publish the height of the players in the programme. Most were generally about 5’7” to 5’ 9”, with only two or three six footers. It’s well known that average height has gradually got taller through the decades. In the 1920’s the average height of men was probably about 5’ 5”.

Would you want someone who doesn't cancel their holiday to save the team they are going to manage? In chicco I trust.

The bulk of that article is copied and pasted from his Wikipedia page… if that’s the level of “journalism” involved I wouldn’t read much into it!

Maybe he isn't considering it because he's too busy enjoying a pina colada on a beach somewhere right now.

My grandad used to say there was a huge crowd on the hillside outside the ground that day, could have been enormous attendance if the ground could have taken them.

Can't see this happening as we seem to be doing everything on the cheap, so can't see us paying compensation for anyone

He’s out of the country for ten days - Hope he takes a luxurious first class cruise or holiday as it’s a truly terrifying fixture list awaiting him should he take the job after the next three games ! Burnley are the only quality team in the division this year, we have nothing to fear from the rest. We were unlucky not to get something away at Sheffield Utd where we more than matched them second half. We've been competitive in nearly every game this season despite having no idea how to attack and a manager none of the players liked.

Personally thought we were ‘in’ the Sunderland and Preston games, agree about the others though.

Suppose we have to be seen to be interested for the BAME tick box. With Wednesday looking a solid shout for promotion and us well placed to be relegated then I can’t see this one having legs. Though I suspect that any interest that did exist would be well justified on merit. Personally I think it quite sad that there could be any suggestion to the contrary.
