Times articles of interest

[DocPace]

Plenty of praise for Wilder.

100% agree with this article. Been saying same about Kane since Jose arrived. Kane does sod all to help team bar scoring - which i know is his job. Watch our goal away and watch Kane. Lumbers around barely getting out of walking speed.

Watch Sissoko #17 for our 2nd goal hangs on to Osborn who shakes him off Sissoko can't be arsed to track Osborn into the box and walks back. Even when the ball is returned to Stevens he makes hardly any effort to close anyone down. Something wrong at Tottenham but so what who gives a toss?

Cascarino's got a hard on for Chris Wilder

United manager Chris Wilder 'could have left' but chose to stay

The Blades boss had the chance to join another club before agreeing to commit his future to Bramall Lane, according to his friend and former Chelsea and Aston Villa striker Tony Cascarino

Don't know if this has been picked up this weekend but either way, this interview with Cascarino is of much interest and comfirms all what we knew already such as wage structure and the interest in Watkins etc.

For me the article backs up arguments from those that think recruitment and where we are is not Wilder's fault, for others they'll always say we could have spend better regardless and we should sign the next Mahrez from abroad for £400,000. They're possibly out there if you can get lucky or have the time to develop and be patient to players, but I don't see many if any at other clubs near the bottom of the Prem that came directly from Europe that have been a major success and on the wage budget we have. The lad at West Ham Soucek at £19m (don't know on wages obviously) is one that may have been an option, but we got Berge and he's done well by in large and I'm sure we will at least get our money back on him when he goes at some point.

"The fans hated their own team in Sheffield. At Bramall Lane, the stick the players got from their own fans because they didn't like them. And the players didn't like being around the fans because of the stick they were getting.

"He changed the culture of that football club. They have the lowest budget in the Premier League by quite a long way."

If the silly fuckers don't start looking like they want to win a game of football soon then some of our more knee-jerky fans might start hating the same players that they loved a year ago.
