I'd be interested in your take on Pete Wild. Not just on whether him and Harris will hit it off - it already looks like they won't! More Pete Wild's style of play - strengths and weaknesses from a fan's point of view over the 3 seasons he was with you.
We were defensively decent, hard to break down, not overly adventurous. But we worked our socks off.
He identified and developed Earing, Kian Spence and Kieran Green, also got the best out of Jeff King. His defensive and midfield eye for talent was good. He's also struck me as only being able to manage smaller clubs. Look at his interviews at Tranmere they weren't great. At Barrow and Halifax, he loved the underdog tag. Whether he can handle the expectations of a fanbase such as yourselves is questionable.
If you had signed him as manager instead of Clarke and let "HIM" sign the players he wanted, then I think you will have done alright. Coming in midseason, and probably being able to sign a limited amount of players. I'm not so sure about.
On Wild and Harris. I could easily see a personality clash. Harris needs to be told he's the man. That's just how he came across to me. If he felt like the man, it gave him the confidence to do what he did goal scoring wise for us. Wild wants workers, and run through brick wall type players. Not entirely sure Harris and Nolan are those types.
Cheers. That sounds like a fair assessment.
