So what is Dean Wilkins thinking?

[Questions]

Dean Wilkins is probably quite upset at the way things are turning out.

But that's something to consider while he reflects on his at-times appalling behaviour while he had a chance to do something about it. For me, he is the architect of his own downfall.

Sure, Dick could have handled the situation a whole lot better, and no-one really comes out of the whole sorry affair with a too much credit, but for anyone thinking Wilkins didn't deserve to be sacked - think again.

I have missed something again here........... I must keep up. What exactly was his appalling behaviour.

He used a fish knife on a main course when eating steak at Donatello's with Dick Knight.

No you don't. What happens behind closed doors between the board and Dean Wilkins is their business, not yours. You pay your money to watch the football, not to be given carte blanche as to every decision made just because you are nosey.

If Dean Wilkins wanted to say something to the press, he would have done so by now, he has chosen not to, and we should respect his dignified silence, far more dignified than 99% of what is posted on here.

Bit naive. I would DEFINITELY expect him to have signed a confidentiality agreement.

Also when it comes to the REALLY big decisions, yes I think we have a right to know. This is so far from being "every decision".

Wouldn't it have been GRAND if we hadn't found out what Archer and Bellotti were up to...because as you say we have NO RIGHT, and NO say in how OUR club is run.

 

[Questions]

Actually, I rarely post on the endlessly tedious Wilkins threads. I tend to keep out of it.

But fair enough, if that's what you feel, I'll stay out of it.

Having read on a bit I now realise you have made a good decision in keeping out of this debate, mainly because you think you know more than you really do and are becoming very tedious with your ''I know something'' routines.
You are also very gullible.

Why SHOULD we no though?

When we as fans plough as much money into the club as we do and the board make a decision that not only looks like getting us relegated but also costing us a fortune then I would like to think we are entitled to some kind of explanation.

 

[Dave the OAP]

I would have thought he is quite sad about the situation

 

[Sweeney Todd]

I can't imagine Dean Wilkins behaving appallingly. What did he do to deserve the sack? Was he caught at a swingers' party in Surbiton having anal sex with Simon Jordan's missus? Was the wicked deed caught on camera?

But you don't know, so it is pure speculation.

Also when it comes to the REALLY big decisions, yes I think we have a right to know. This is so far from being "every decision".

What gives you that right?

As far as I am aware the club made a statement at the time, so you do know the reasons why, and they have been repeated at the fans forum. So why do you want to hear the same things again?

Do you think you should also have full disclosure about the decision to sack McGhee too? After all, he was far more successful than Dean Wilkins.

Wouldn't it have been GRAND if we hadn't found out what Archer and Bellotti were up to...because as you say we have NO RIGHT, and NO say in how OUR club is run.

The information about what Archer did to the Albion was in the public domain, as the Articles of Association were changed. There is a world of difference between sacking a football manager, which happens about 30 times a season in professional English football, and attempting to redefine the constitution of the club for personal profit, which was what Archer did. You are not comparing like with like.

An explanation was given on the club website and at the fans forum.

Seeing as you don't know what what I have been told, by whom, how pertinent it is etc, you're not really in a position to comment.

what what I was told ?
stop stuttering and get it out boy.

I also know something you dont know............. but unlike you I`m going to tell everyone, and that is that YOU DONT KNOW WHAT THE f*** YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.

Anyway i thought you were keeping out of this one TLO

OK, thanks for sharing that with me. It finally put me right, no question.

Telling a fans forum that Wilkins would've got the sack even if he'd got us promoted was not an explanation, If he'd done something that bad it would've deserved the sack even after getting promoted then why was'nt he sacked when it happened? Why was he kept on and then sacked himself the day after he was given the job of releasing players? The whole thing stinks and it's a decision that could end up costing us our league 1 status and a hell of a lot of money in the process so we deserve better than we've been told so far.

 

[Drumstick]

I hate when people compare the club to other companies. The comparison doesn't work at all.

We have a right to know how OUR club that WE fund is run when it comes to the REALLY big decisions.

But compared to other incomes, where not the biggest investors are we... I see your point but I felt they did give us a reason I think! Just not the details some people are after.

 

[e77]

I can keep my silence on the issue no longer. I can confirm I have no idea why Dean Wilkins was got rid of.

Unfortunately I can't tell you how I don't know anything.

Who said he would have been sacked even if we had been promoted? Did I miss something?

That I truly cannot believe. If he had got us into the Championship surely he would have been given time the following season to build on his success and keep us up.

And all this stuff about what he did or did not do ... all I can say (agreeing with some previous posters) is that if it was as bad as some on here are suggesting then he certainly would not have been offered the coaching role. No way.

Dick Knight.

If you`ll shut the f*** up about 'The things I know'' then I`ll accept your thanks, and hopefully you will now keep to your word on matters concerning the sacking of Dean Wilkins.

The way it looks to me the whole thing was set up to make sure Wilkins was forced out of the club and the offer of a coaching job was just a publicity stunt.

But you don't know that, any more than any of us do.
