Its simply horrible being a Blade just now. Its horrible having to read all the 'Wilder out' posts. Some of them seem to forget that 12 months ago he was talked about as a future England manager and possibly the best in our history.
Certainly, the post-lockdown situation has had a huge effect, one way or another. I've always been in the 'best manager ever' camp, but here's what really hurts- I can't actually find an argument against the lynch mob. I still believe that he is an excellent manager, although patently we now know he has weaknesses, but I do think that what he has done to lift our Blades out of the doldrums and give us enormous pride to go anywhere in the world and be happy to say 'I am a Sheffield United fan' should at the very least buy him some time. He will learn from this and come back an even better manager, and I'd rather he did that with us than someone else.
But please, make the pain go away Chris, and do it quickly.
