blythspartan James Earnshaw is saying nothing is imminent with regards to Wilder and he’s usually pretty accurate. I can’t see it happening tbh. It’s just all twitter frenzy, file with Tommy Smith.
Tommy Smith was basically done - the media had been called for a press conference to announce his signing IIRC.

Tommy Smith interview (2009) My relationship with the Watford fans became a factor to consider as I didn’t want to end on bad terms. At the same time though I knew I had to leave and Reading seemed to be the best option.
I was heading down to Reading when my agent called and told me that a bid had been accepted by Portsmouth. I told Brendan and went home for a couple of days. He wasn’t happy, but I had to do what was right for me.
We would've got him if it wasn't for a last minute offer from Portsmouth.
