I think Wilder and Sheff Utd are both heartily welcome in the Premier League by just about everyone, fans, pundits (most not all)

, players. managers. It’s a refreshing change to see a team and manager with no prima donnas, playing good expansive football, no arrogance, no play-acting, being humble and respectful in defeat and victory.
Wilder has the respect of most, if not all, for what he’s achieved and how he’s achieved it. He comes over really well and he’s a fantastic ambassador for the club. He is self-effacing and modest and has a great sense of humour.
I’m sure you’ve got a point Woody about him possibly creating envy amongst some. But he conducts himself in such a way that only the most horrible jealous types would deny him his moment in the sun.
And that’s how they probably see it. A flash in the pan that won’t prevail. After all, he’s broken the mould hasn’t he?
He’s relied on what are perceived as lower division players and values like work ethic and team spirit to propel the club to great heights in the toughest division in the world. I’m sure some will expect this little “experiment” to fail at some point because it’s not normal for this level of football.
But to believe that is to underestimate the quality of the man and the players and staff he’s assembled around him.
I’d say there are far more admirers than critics. But his success will put others under the microscope for achieving less with more.
Long may it last!
