Chris Wilder


Imagine a club changing things up and sacking a club legend, appointing someone, sacking that person, then of all the managers available, going for the club legend again.

Shows how little ambition or more to the point risk averse that club actually is.

‘Deserved to go up iirc, showed more ambition than us’

Does that include eg Quinn, Speakman, Ghisolfi?

Like a poster said it’s a banker for a win against Charlton. I'm not a fan of the fella but don't remember him saying anything too bad about us. He moaned about VAR but generally seems ok about Sunderland.

He’s Sheffield Utd through and through and says things that show it
Wouldn’t we all want our managers/coaches to do likewise?

Only Quinn was a director/owner
As a former player he was well qualified.
 
Amazed the club can’t see beyond Wilder and think he’s the only option, plus how many times do you get sacked and be ok to go back for more.
They deserve each other
 
It’s not Sheffield Utd, it’s the Chris Wilder show.

The closing stages of the play off final were quite possibly amongst the finest moments of my life as I stood there at Wembley with my daughter and our massed ranks, watching in sheer disbelief as the events unfolded. To be there witnessing it was what I can only describe as like a ‘religious experience’ (not that I’ve ever had one of those).

Many played their part, clearly RLB responded brilliantly to the opportunities presented and our lads to a man pretty much were magnificent (special mention to Patto, without his saves the game would’ve been done and dusted possibly), and what else needs to be said about Tommy Watson picking up on Kieffer Moore’s stray pass? Nothing, and I will never tire of watching it.

But one man played possibly a bigger role than anyone else. From taking off 2 players (Brewster and Campbell) who were running us ragged at times, to playing the closing stages with 10 men completely unnecessarily, to bringing on players seemingly just so they could ‘enjoy the moment at Wembley’ it was a managerial tour de force.

Welcome back, Chris. Thanks for the memories.
