I'd love to know who is on our shortlist, we know Wilder and Lampard are two of them. Like most on here I cant see past Wilder, but I am hoping for Lampard.

I am only guessing that people like Cooper and Appleton may be on that list, but it will be dependant on what happens in their play off finals this weekend.

Not just on here. From what I've seen on social media Lampard is the runaway choice amongst fans. He's miles ahead of anyone else.

I'm not keen on Lampard, i would say i'm indifferent  but out of those realistic and available i'm leaning towards him. What a sorry list of available managers.

Apparently Wolves putting out their feelers towards Lampard. I don't know if the journos at the Metro are clued up, but wonder if he would be interested.

Barring any late unforeseen hiccups, Chris Wilder will be West Brom’s new manager. Wilder is their No 1 choice and talks are continuing on finalising a deal. #WBAFC

Don’t know how accurate he is I’d be over the moon with Wilder. Think it’l be the best decision managerial wise this club has made since Roy all those years ago. My old mans a Sheff United fan so I watched a fair bit of them I don’t know where this dinosaur label has come from they played some cracking football I went to the Man United game 2 years ago completely played United off the park that day.

Would be a top top managerial appointment who will have people eating their words this time next season.

Hope you're right mate, I think this will be an absolute disaster tbh.

My only real concern with Wilder is what’s his hunger like now. He’s managed his boyhood club to the premier league and now been sacked from that role. Does he bounce back hungry or has he already achieved one of his dreams etc.

We will get my backing and I hope he’s backed to build a good enough team to challenge.

His managerial career baring last season is very good.

Its difficult to imagine Sheff Utd playing anyone off the park. I've scrolled back through their league fixtures, and its just one long list of scored 1 or 0, until that 2-1 victory v Man U on 27th January.  Before that they only scored more than 1 goal once (v Man U on 17 Dec '20) back until beginning of September. 
Can't find anything to suggest we will be playing cracking football under Wilder.

Never enjoyed the football I've seen Sheff Utd play in the last few years. They were vile to watch when they best us 1-0 at the Hawthorns the year they went up.

Feels like we are about to endure Dowling Vs Bilic part 2

My preference was Cooper who will probably end up in the premier next season anyway, one way or another.

Barring that though I would say Wilder is clearly the best name available, even if not the most exciting. I have my doubts he can maintain what he had at Sheffield United prior to this season here, but at least he has some kind of track record to speak of. Lampard did alright at Derby (no better than Rowett) and ultimately has been shown up somewhat by Tuchel coming in at Chelsea so I'm not sure he's an answer. The rest of the names listed aren't even worth mentioning.

I agree my preference is Cooper, I suspect there will be movement on him next week if Swansea don't go up, but I think he will be Palace bound if they don't win this weekend.

Wilder is an OK appointment, but his football is pragmatic, so he will have to give us winning football else he won't last long if appointed.

I'm in agreement with you, i can see this going wrong. Happy to be incorrect though should it happen.

If confirmed, this feels like such a one-dimensional, unimaginative and sterile selection, as was the case when we brought in Pulis, Pardew and Allardyce. A decision that would indicate that the Board and Owner have no overall plan other than to regard every season as an insular firefighting exercise.

Exactly this^
What an uninspiring appointment if true. Was hoping for Lamps personally.

It was the 3-3 draw mate around before Christmas 19, cracking game of football, Sheffield United killed them down the wings with overloads with the cb’s pushing on.

I get peoples reluctance after last season, he’s been hugely successful wherever he’s been bar that last season. Yes the footballs not free flowing Barcelona but it’s better than Allardyce served up and people didn’t grumble too much. Effective, winning football is everything he’s about and his teams get it down on the deck and play.

Decided to look at the difference in between us and Sheff Utd under Wilder and Derby under Lampard the last time all were in the chmapionship.

Pos    Team                    Pld    W    D    L    GF    GA    GD            Pts    
1    Norwich City (C, P)    46    27    13    6    93    57    +36    94    
2    Sheffield United (P)  46    26    11    9    78    41    +37    89
3    Leeds United            46    25    8    13    73    50    +23    83    
4    WBA                   46    23    11    12    87    62    +25    80
5    Aston Villa (O, P)    46    20    16    10    82    61    +21    76
6    Derby County            46    20    14    12    69    54    +15    74

Derby weren't as attacking as some would think under Lampard, Wilder's side did score more than Leeds and not suprising were the best defence.

Football is a funny old game. I went to that game and was blown away by how they completely outplayed us in every department. It was men versus boys and I was envious of Sheff Utd fans. I think he's a cracking appointment.

Sheffield United haven't scored 5 goals in a competitive match since they beat Leyton Orient 6 nil in the 1st round (not 3rd) of the FA Cup in 2016.

Defnitely a game of opposing opinions. I wanted to curl up and die  ;D  I was in the executive boxes that day as well. Even the free bar couldn't cheer me up and the pre-game speech from Batson and Robertson did not work out either!
