What strange goings on. I get that they want to make a change but Wilder for a third spell after just potting him seems a bizarre decision.
Seems a lazy appointment to me.

Wilder has to be one of the most overrated managers going.

Some managers work in some places. Very silly decision-making though and has probably cost them the automatics for this season.

Do they have one person in their address book or something?

I think he's a decent manager. My OP was more about them broadening their horizons when searching for a new manager. They didn't rate him enough in the summer when sacking him (harshly) so I don't see what's happened since to make them think he's any better than he was in July when they sent him on his holidays!
Once they've moved on from him they should continue looking elsewhere. Just looks like a very weak decision to bring him back. Also really don't know why he'd want to come back for a third spell so soon...
