New contracts for Knill and Prestridge?

[Sothall_Blade]

Wilder hasn't mentioned them. McCabe hasn't mentioned them.
Radio Sheffield and The Star don't seem to have enquired about them.

Were they offered new, improved contracts at the same time as Wilder?
Surely they have been?
Surely Wilder will have made it a condition of him extending his own?
It would seem totally out of character for Wilder to not make sure his key staff were also suitably rewarded.

So why no mention of them at all?
Maybe they are in discussions already and it will all be agreed and announced at the same time?
I hope so..

Don't worry about it.

Those two are probably earning more than they have ever earned anyway, but I'm sure Wilder will have some input in their salaries. They are his staff effectively so I'm sure that if rewards for success have been handed out then it will be extended to everyone who played their part in it.

Giddings said they would be offered new contracts shortly. CW the main man once his sorted the rest follow suit.

No point in AK or MP getting new deals and then and CW not going for his.

Think everyone that matters at the Lane know how integral these 2 are to the clubs future , wilder without knill is like Clough without Taylor

"Alan Knill is poised to sign a new contract with Sheffield United, manager Chris Wilder has confirmed. The development comes after Wilder also agreed fresh terms with the club following last season’s promotion winning campaign and ensures the partnership responsible for overseeing that success will remain intact.

Wilder, revealing that first team coach Matt Prestridge and goalkeeping coach Darren Ward have also committed their futures to Bramall Lane, said: “Alan is having discussions with the chief exec as well. I brought Alan and Matt in to the football club when I got the job. “Darren Ward has signed a new deal and Matt has signed a new deal as well. The goalkeeping coach and sports scientist and first team coach.”

Hurrah!

Hurrah!

Really good news on the Alan 'Big Friendly Giant' Knill front. Think he is more the tactical brain of the Wilder / Knill partnership and we will need that skill more than ever next season. Two big close season contracts that the board has very wisely invested in here.
