Preston have sacked their manager. Bit closer to home for Wild?

With all due respect to Pete I can’t see a Championship club coming in for him.
He’s done well at Halifax & Barrow but has been a nearly man with a limited style of football and a reluctance to change things when not going well.
I think a L2 club may come in for him later in the season if they are struggling and he’d probably do a good job for them.

Let's hope we aren't struggling would be strange to think Wild coming back to save us.

He definitely won't be coming back here

Well I wouldn’t have thought that he’d be of much interest to a club with a Director of Football.

Unfortunately for Pete he now has acquired a reputation as a rescuer of problematic clubs better equipped to combat failure than to capitalise on success.

Could see Accy or Morecambe being a destination for him or possibly a team such as Fylde if his return to his beloved Oldham doesn’t happen.”

He’s not done enough to warrant getting a job in the Championship or division one. I’d be surprised if that happened. Like others have said maybe an EFL Two struggler like Carlisle or National league more likely.

I’d be very much surprised if Carlisle would want him simply because the Piateks can well afford somebody better….. like Ryan Lowe.

Come on Mall, the boys took three points off the best side I have seen at Holker Street all season. Credit where it’s due.

Fair enough John, like I say, wasn't there.

I’d be very surprised to see Pete Wild manage in the EFL anytime soon, I’m sure Tom White would agree with me.
