Heard on good authority from a reliable source of course that Giles De Bilde will be extending his stay in Sheffield after the Masters tournament this weekend. Apparently De Bilde has been offered a role in a part time coaching capacity as he attempts to de-build bridges with the Wednesday fans after what seemed like an unsuccessful stay due to his high wages which helped leave the club in ruins. De Bilde is hoping to cement a place in English football as a coach and see’s no reason why he can’t stay at Wednesday after his short term contract expires. He commented ‘I’ve got nothing to prove, I’m laying down the foundations of my coaching career here,’ although he knows quite rightly that there will be no quick fix to get back on the Wednesday fans side and will take many bridges to de-build.
Thoughts on this? I’m happy enough with him coming back if he is a good coach, doesn’t bother me that he was unpopular here. I think he knows he won’t be making it onto our ‘wall’ of fame.
