Opening piece for ⁦@TheAthletic⁩ ... including my understanding that Newcastle made a private play for Chris Wilder in the summer. Blades boss a man on a mission at Bramall Lane. For now anyway ... #SUFC.

Not sure Wilder would ever want to go to that dumpster fire while Ashley is in charge.

Sensible move from Ashley to go for Wilder (he performed well at Northampton with his hands tied behind his back) and an even more sensible move by Wilder to reject his approach.
Anything above complete capitulation by United next year and Wilder's stock will be sky-high. Expectations outside SUFC are very low for us next year, so if we can avoid relegation, Wilder will be seen as a miracle worker. Luckily for us, we already know that he is one.
