Why is it strange ? Great players have actually played or started careers here and it's been wiped from memory, the fact he nearly became a manager here is completely irrelevant to his story.

I think he meant it was ‘strange’ that Wilder didn’t back up Roland’s ridiculous claim that it was the fans who prevented him from coming here.

Yes, I detect a touch of sarcasm from @EveshamAddick.
