Some people on here seem to have very short memories. We were demoted from the Prem. after a season that still gives me nightmares .and the last thing we need was a repartition of that next season .
We began last season under Mr Wilder, a little short of funds, a fine of two points and a team that shall we say needed new hope, and we still finished 4th.
We now have new owners and three windows and a better chance for him to build that team that hopefully can hold it 's own if promoted

You make some very valid reasons for keeping CW as do many of those wishing for a change. I was delighted when he was first appointed and he gave us some great times, but he has changed as has football.
When he was reappointed I was indifferent.The manner of his earlier departure didn't bother me but after his problems with Middlesbrough I thought he was probably no longer the manager he had been.
To my delight, I thought I was wrong and thought his rebuild and change of style were excellent in the early part of the season. His squad rotation as injuries decimated the squad was excellent and I thought come January we would really kick on.
Unfortunately when CW has backing and more players to choose from he seems to become a poorer manager.
The failure to recruit a decent replacement for Souttar was a big mistake and his criticism of supporters after the Oxford game was a big sign that he couldn't handle the pressure. The negativity in our performances increased and his decision not to bring Holding up to speed mystifying.
At Wembley all the good and bad things about his leadership came out.
Maybe I'm missing something in the substitution rules but my first thought when Anel went down with a head injury was that we would be down to 10 men and to immediately swap him for Holding. Maybe Moore's error wouldn't have been so costly then.
I have been deliberating for the past week and unable to make my mind up as to whether we should keep CW or make the change.
Keep him and I still think we'll be challenging but not good enough for the top 2. Change him and we could really fly or we could fail miserably depending on who comes in.
Not that my opinion matters but I have sadly come to the conclusion that it will be in the long term interest of SUFC to replace him. I think we can go further without him.
If he stays I'll be only too pleased to be proved wrong and for next season to lead to automatic promotion.
Sorry for such a long post but after supporting the Blades through thick and thin for 65 years they mean a lot to me and just hope the new owners make the right decisions very quickly.
