The short term option i think is just going to make next season harder as we might need half a season or longer to transition so even if we stay up with warnock we would need to change him anyway and will be straight back down. Better IMO to action it now and start next season in the strongest possible position, players knowing their new roles and system.There's often context in opinions but very few explain the context before posting. Regards long term planning agree.....Warnock is definitely not the answer and Wilder is probably not the answer either (hence why I'd offer him just a trial 1 season contract like we did with Blackwell).
However regards the immediate short term task of trying to avoid the Derby low points record.
...then using some logic and facts....then of course Warnock or Wilder are viable short term instant sticky plaster solutions.
Very few managers in the game would ever accept a short term contract however in recent years Warnock is like the A team.
He goes to crap teams with crap players and somehow picks up wins and draws, successfully does the job, then clears off.
It's looking like we need a miracle to stay up...Wilder have performed one of the biggest miracles in recent football history...in my view bigger than what Ranieri did when winning the PL with Leicester. For anyone to take a side bottom of league 1 to at one stage 5th in the Premier League battling for a Champions league spot in 4 years....seems impossible. Cheltenham and Reading are currently bottom of league 1, if someone said a manager would go there and have either of those teams challenging for a Champions league spot, you would get odds of millions to 1.
I do agree though that Blades seem stuck in this colloquialism mentality, even now many want Billy Sharp to be future manager, to a degree I like that idea too but it does make you wonder when we're going to join the real world and look further a field, maybe even foreign managers.
I think engraining some kind of anti-football hoof into the players and expecting them to transition into a progressive team the next season is not realistic. That’s years of damage to the culture of the team. The platform hecky and wilder have built is not awful and can be salvaged with right manager and coaching staff.
