When an owner keeps buying tinpot clubs worldwide. Big media reveal etc. Has a club in the best league in the world and appears to under invest in that asset. Has an employee who is virtually responsible for the success of that big assets rise, and you undervalue his importance. A clash of ego, culture and depth of actual football knowledge perhaps. Throw in a pandemic, injury crisis and loss of form. Also some , in hindsight, poor use of transfer budget. It’s been a learning curve too severe to hang on . CW is too involved, too attached to his club, his team. He is nobody’s fool and nobody’s puppet.
I hate to see it end like this. But something had to give.
Thank you Chris. Go with all our best wishes and appreciation. Wherever you go to, whoever you end up managing, you’ll always be able to look back at these last 5 years as when you lifted your club, our club, up from obscurity and showed us the light.
we move on, as we always will, into the next chapter, for better for worse.
whoever owns us, whoever manages us, whoever plays for us, we will always be Blades.
Now , we’ve put your personal stuff in a box , waiting for you in the car park. If you wouldn’t mind giving me your company car keys and mobile phone.
