Chris Wilder

Still says what he thinks and feels

And why is that wrong?

Who said it was?

 

[Flatcap]

Contract extension?

[YES Blade]

Contract extension?

My first thought was they’re getting in early with season ticket renewals? It sounded like the usual marketing stuff they like to use

Some great acting by Chris. Guess that Marvel guy directed this via zoom

Protecting his future with an inevitable pay out when we sack him half way through next season

[YES Blade]

3 and a half years is way too long, hopefully there are clauses in the contract to reduce any potential pay off.

Excellent work by Steven Rosen and Helmy Eltoukhy; I hope CW is still manager way beyond 2028.

Contract extension?

Yeah 3 1/2 years

Boss Chris Wilder has signed a new long-term contract with the club, which will run until the summer of 2028.

Wilder, who has overseen a successful rebuild of his side this season, has been rewarded with fresh terms, alongside long-time assistant Alan Knill and first team coach Matt Prestridge, whose contracts will run alongside those of the manager.

Co-chairmen Steven Rosen and Helmy Eltoukhy said: "We are delighted that Chris has signed a new contract with the Blades.

"Chris and his backroom staff have worked tirelessly to get the team in the best position possible. It has been a pleasure working with Chris and his knowledgeable team during this exciting new chapter for Sheffield United."

Having enjoyed success in his first spell between 2016 and 2021, which included promotions from League One and the Championship, followed by a ninth place finish in the Premier League, Wilder returned during a difficult period in December 2023.

After a busy summer, Wilder and his staff reinvigorated the club with the Blades operating within the Championship's automatic promotion places for the majority of the current campaign, leading to this latest announcement.

On the new deal, Wilder commented: "Sheffield United is my club, and there is no place I'd rather be, so I am thrilled to be signing a new deal.

"The football club is in a really good place, there's a real feelgood factor around the training ground and I'm excited about what we can achieve together.

"The new owners have been incredibly helpful to me since they arrived, and I'd personally like to thank them for their faith and support in what we are trying to work towards at this football club. I'm looking forward to working more closely with them and I'm excited about what we can achieve together in the future.

"My thanks also extends to the supporters who have stuck with us after a difficult time last season. You all know how I feel about this football club, and your continued backing is never underestimated."

Great news. He deserves it.

I think it makes sense. He’s done a good job so far with the rebuild and doing so alongside a challenging environment of a points deduction, a takeover and injuries.

I’m not at all convinced by our approach and ‘style’, but hopefully this is something he can work on now the ship seems to be a bit more settled.

No word on Jack Lester at all then….. I would wager Jack has been very important too……

Eh? This is a thread about Chris Wilder.

 

[JD88]

Great news and fully deserved.

 

[Ron_Justice]

People will still find something to complain about. No doubt, best to do it since Bassett. He gets my support.

Eh? This is a thread about Chris Wilder.

I think it's because it also mentions Knill and Prestridge.
