But you have it the wrong way round mate. The question is "What has he done to merit becoming manager of the Blades"? Answer - Nothing that would entitle him to a second glance if he were not ex-Blade Chris Wilder. His experience, on balance, is of achieving little or nothing in the lower leagues - that's not experience one should admire - it's failure by another name. If we were interested in ex-Melchester boss Frank Average with a record of achieving very little at, wait for it, Halifax and Oxford, over a 12 year period, and nothing at all in recent years, you'd rightly think we'd taken leave of our senses.
He's not a good manager. He's proved that where it matters. His team has just finished 9th in Division Four, for heaven's sake! Shall we interview Mickey Adams, Steve Evans, Mark Yates, Paul Cook? No, and no-one suggests we should.
Wilder has demonstrated he is a run of the mill lower league manager. We've had them before - they are useless.
The appointment of Wilder would be throwing in the towel at the end of the 11th round. I have already bought my season ticket but I too have been a Blade Too Long. If its Wilder, fine - those of you who delight in mediocrity can enjoy a little bit more. I shall be on the golf course perfecting my 70-90 yard pitching. I shall tell the chairman why.
