I think a lot of us would have been happy with one of them, but one of the problems we have is the fan base is split and has been since Wilder came back the first time. Eventually we’ll get a manager who reunites us, but we’re a way off that at the moment.
Forest had 1 point from their first 7 games and got promoted. We had 3 points from our first 7.
And what do you want for the end of this season and next season ?
And that is the problem !
Decent squad, have you seen our attackers
He claimed to have reconnected the club when he first came and it's one of his lines that he likes to use. Like many, I wasn't disconnected, just tired of the crap style of play we'd been served up.
He polarises the fans and we see that on here every week. On the one hand if anyone makes even the slightest criticism of him they are immediately labelled “Wilder haters” by the mentally lazy. On the other hand every setback results in a chorus of “Wilder out” and accusations that anyone who supports him is part of a cult. Both extremes are unhelpful and stifle reasoned debate, but that’s where we are and where we will continue to be for a long time yet.
We've joined them already, probably the owners after next season might sell up, and we could drift even further, lack of new ideas in recruitment! Fitness issues again, keep signing crocks & last pay day players, we never learn. And eventually take Wednesdays place in L1, while they go on yet another adventure in the champions league.... the last sentence is what there fans keep telling me
You think Pep doesn’t get the players he wants? Really. And no, I’m not comparing Wilder to Pep before you go off on one!
He polarises a tiny section of fans in the online echo chamber. A large number of fans also on that echo chamber are not polarised. And outside this interesting but really weird environment and other social media, unless you we have some psychic powers, we genuinely have no idea. This is all impassioned people’s ideas, views and thoughts. Apart from data (and we all know the quote about statistics) there is very little fact on here - I guess that is part of the fun.
And?

Of course it would be amazing to compete in the PL but actually, as as blade I’d settle for consistently challenging for play offs in the hope of a breakthrough alongside a balance of football that leans towards the exciting end of the spectrum.
Could those new ideas in recruitment include keeping then replacing managers more intelligently, allowing them not to have to rely on a bunch of trash brought in by someone else forcing them to identify non contracted players to save our bacon (and no I don’t think they would have been part of Wilders plan had he not been sacked and forced into this approach). I’m actually surprised how well this nightmare approach has worked.We've joined them already, probably the owners after next season might sell up, and we could drift even further, lack of new ideas in recruitment!

TBF anyone from Rowett etc would have most likely kept us up.
No. At this point there is polarisation. Everyone has a view one way or another, which is why it is constantly such a big talking point. And by no means just on here. I live and work in Sheffield and get to converse with a lot of fans, including those who sit around me at games. It is always a talking point, and pretending it isn’t serves no purpose. No psychic powers needed to understand that.
Forest literally had a worse start to their season in the year that they beat us in the playoffs.
Great a season full of games like WBA & Norwich, and more signings like January.
Yep he added more shat in January.
I don’t think I could cope with one more season with Wilder.
You’re going to have to cope because he won’t be going anywhere unless it becomes clear towards the end of next season that we won’t be troubling the play offs. And I think that’s unlikely because I think we’ll be in contention for the top 8 next season. And that’s probably our realistic ceiling for the foreseeable future unless something at the club other than the manager changes.
You have no idea who might be harbouring negative feelings,mistrust or perhaps resentment toward him.
Then I will have to make a decision about renewing my season ticket for next season.
Not all. Far from it.
I bumped into my mate Mick in Morrisons in Hillsborough this morning. I was with him when we were relegated at Stamford Bridge, we go back a long way. Well known to a lot of Blades fans because of his business - he’s put quite a bit of sponsorship in over the years. Mick was a season ticket holder for 50 years, but didn’t renew last summer because he didn’t find last season at all enjoyable. He gets to a few matches as a sponsor’s guest, but I’ve missed seeing him around.
You’re implying that he’s the only person who’s capable of successfully managing Sheffield United.
Good post - but I don't quite agree with him polarising fans, any more than ANY manager will.
