Good morning and a happy new year Blades.
I’ve been thinking about the effect Chris has had on the club since his return and reading quite a few Wilder threads with reasonable arguments from all sides.
From a sporting point of view many are saying Wilder will give us a tiny change of staying up and if/when we do go down it will be fighting, with self-respect and the desire to destroy the Championship next season.
One thing I think most of us can agree on is that the Prince is a shrewd business man and only sees the club as a business asset. As of now, we are for sale, so from a business point of view appointing Wilder must increase the ROI.
From a success aspect, its only numbers that matter, and so far, 6 games in we are worse off than we were with Hekky.
After Hekky’s last game: bottom of the league 4 points from 17th.
Now: bottom of the league 7 points from 17th and six less games to play.
So looking at the numbers, here are the stats for Chris for his entire managerial career from Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Wilder
And here are the stats since his return to the Blades 6 games ago.
I’m a great believer in the phrase ‘Lies, damned lies, and statistics’ so I’ll update the chart monthly and we can all interpret the numbers that best supports our personal agenda and argue to our hearts content.
UTB.
