Wilder will be here next season whether some like it or not.
He's probably the right man for the job in the here and now but there needs to be some proper succession and scenario planning going on behind the scenes because I'm not sure that bringing back a 78 year old Chris Wilder for his 7th spell in charge when the shit hits the fan again is really the way to be going!
Last summer's recruitment was like doing supermarket sweep round B&M, 5 minutes before closing time, filling the trolley with shit and hoping that there's some stuff in there that might be half decent once you rummage through the bags.
Wilder did a bit of a cash in the attic job and stumbled across something in an old woman's loft that others thought were a load of rubbish but turned out to be pretty valuable when it came to Bamford and Riedewald.
He knows what needs fixing, he knows who and what needs chucking out and its his job to make it happen within the constraints he's got to work within. Some will go to auction, some will be kept on display, some will go in the big ikea bag to the charity shop where there might be some takers for them and there will be others that go straight to the tip.
If Wilder doesn't make a decent fist of things next season (i.e. top 8) then I'm sure we can give a job to someone with a "philosophy" like Will Still or Liam Manning to make doubly certain that we go down!
