Have to admit, I had not read the clubs resolution of thanks to Hecky, presumed it was just that, so after reading the following comment in the DM, I did go and read it, cant find thinly veiled digs anywhere, just read it as facts/statistics.
A thinly-veiled dig at former manager Chris Wilder by Sheffield United in the form of a bizarre ‘resolution of thanks’ to temporary replacement Paul Heckingbottom from the club’s board has not gone down well.
The Saudi-owned Blades posted a ‘unanimous resolution’ on their website which, among other jibes, pointed out that Heckingbottom won one match fewer in 11 matches than Wilder managed in 27. Given the pair are good friends, it is unlikely either side will have appreciated the move.
Meanwhile, sources have claimed that Alan Knill, Wilder’s assistant, is being forced to come into work each day and sit in an office in the hope that the club can ask for compensation should Wilder — linked with West Bromwich Albion — take him to his new employers.
Club insiders, however, claim Knill is a valued member of staff and will work closely with new boss Slavisa Jokanovic.
