Don't think you have to look much further than giving
Wilder the bullet.

three defeats.

I’m not a fan of Wilder, but the decision to sack him was astounding!

It’s August and they’ve already lost more league games than we did during the whole of last season.

I couldn't understand why they appointed Selles in the first place. He's a nothing Manager. If they want to be in the top 6 next May they need to bite the bullet and sack him now!!!

If Wilder had just played down that Plymouth defeat, shrugged his shoulders and said that’s the championship and we go again next game, they might well be in the PL and have condemned us to the playoffs. His phil brown moment precipitated their downfall. Sliding doors moment. I think they were right to bin him. Selles was a poor appointment though.

It’s probably the perfect job for Dyche to be fair. Good sized club with players which suit his style

Wilder would have them top 10, absolute worse scenario by now. How many times have clubs sacked a manager and then dropped down the table and divisions.

It's not inconceivable that they could go down. The last time they went down to League 1, they lost in the Championship playoff final the season before.

Mee is still there. He has been offered a contract but hasn't given his decision yet.

I heard that they decided that they couldn't afford to be a yoyo club (well that might well be true after they didn't yo last season. Hence they decided that they were safer becoming a championship equivalent of Brighton and Brentford, aiming to buy young talent, develop and then sell for profit.

The new owners have pressed for this. Given their inability to pick a striker that isn't a dog, I can't see it working.
