When Chris Wilder dies.

[knowsnowt]

Do we just fold as a club?
Do us Blades fans just give up football?
Are SUFC even tenable as a club when he pops off?

 

[deplorable]

One of his Daughters may take over, with Blaster behind her (apologies, I mean supporting her!)??

No. The immortal Warnock will step in and resume control of the Bladey God position.

 

[SB_90]

well of course it then goes to billy sharp

 

[deplorable]

People on here have been calling for a lady manager for the men's team in the future?? Chip off the old block?

Wilder wouldn't agree to that, staunch AI sceptic ya know.

Basically, Wilder becomes the thing he hates.... AI!

Pretty sure I’m not the only one that doesn’t find a thread title like this humorous. The point you’re making as been made over and over throughout the summer… I don’t think you need to stoop to this level.

Obviously we clone him.

Do I have to think of everything.

Sharp takes the manager mantle.

 

[Working Class Hero]

Chris Wilder will never die, he lives on through Billy Sharp who will take us to Europe. When Billy dies, there's then the same age gap to Oli Arblaster who will take us one step further. The manager after that is currently in nappies, but rest assured, he's a Blade.

When he dies we appointment Billy Sharp and off we go! If he comes back it really gives me pleasure how much it pisses you and others off because if you don't rate Wilder after everything he's done and you don't want him back in the current mess that we're in then I don't value your opinion anyway because it's crap.

I've held back for long enough on views like yours and for once I'm saying it as it is.

You're probably the sort who agreed it was a good idea sacking Wilder and replacing him with Selles. Madness.

Ready steady are you set for metal Chrissy…..

This keeps popping up on the side of my screen, can the new CW Bot look like this please?

 

[SirNibletsO'Korne]

I assume all season tickets holders will be buried alive in his magnificently carved tomb under the carpark with him, and the rest of us ritually sacrificed to appease the Old Gods.

I don't give a fuck if you find it humorous. Runa poll if you like.
And your second point?
I don't value your opinion or give a fuck.
How's about that then?

By 2057, football had evolved. VAR had been replaced by AI referees known as Clattenbots, matches were streamed directly into fans neural implants and the Premier League was known as Elon Musk’s Mars Colony Transit Authority SoccerSport League. But one thing never changed: Sheffield United were still unable to move on from Chris Wilder.

The press conference was surreal. A weary-looking Wilder, now 90 years old and fresh from managing his local Crown Green Bowling side, adjusted his flat cap and leaned into the microphone.

“It’s an honour to be back,” he croaked. “Seventeenth time lucky.”

Wilder’s first move was to appoint his support staff:
• Nick Montgomery (75), lures away from managing Real Madrid with the promise of being lined up as Wilder’s successor at his beloved blades
• Phil Jagielka, (also 75 years old) appointed as defensive player coach, thanks in part to his cybernetic knee replacements
• James Beattie, now mostly remembered for his 2037 TikTok dance scandal, was brought in as “Head of Infectious Diseases”.
• Billy Sharp, 71, also as player coach, and was still insisting he could do a job up front. He remained the 21st Century’s leading goal scorer, having most recently had a stint at Dronfield FC, his 427th club.

United’s transfer strategy had long since abandoned scouting. Instead, Wilder activated the “Ex-Blade Recall and Cloning Programme,” which allowed the club to sign any former player or their clone regardless of age, ability, or cryogenic status. Rumours suggested that the club was thawing out Michael Brown from deep freeze, and three John Fleck clones were at various stages of development in the academy.

By this point, Bramall Lane (The Peroni Arena) had undergone little investment for almost 60 years. To help manage costs the South Stand had been converted into a vertical hydroponic farm. Still, 20,000 loyal fans, including many digitally uploaded consciousnesses, turned up each week. After last season’s relegation to the Tesco Value League Two North Division B, the Blades were desperate for salvation.

Wilder’s opening match (his 3,402nd in charge) ended in a predictable 1–0 defeat to Barnsley Bionic Reserves. At full-time, he sighed:

“It’s not about the overlapping goalkeeper, or the 17 substitutions in the 53rd minute, It’s about passion. And possibly also to do with hip replacements. We really Mark Duffy to return to full fitness after his leg transplants.” The board immediately extended his contract until 2060, before sacking him 3 months later.

He would have a further 4 spells in charge of the blades before sadly his 7th liver transplant surgery was not successful and he passed away peacefully late one evening in the Copthorne beer garden terrace.

Sadly, we now live in world of extreme reactions. We either love something or hate something, with seemingly nothing in between.
Wilder appears spark those very same emotions among our fanbase (mainly on here).
But the more sensible fans would initially have been dismayed by the Wilder sacking, but soon came to terms with it and eventually embraced a culture change and got behind club and the new manager…Although I’m proud to say I gave Selles fair chance, now is the time for him to go…and go quickly.
Regarding Wilder and a possible return for a third time…Surely this has got to be a joke…Right?

Whoever thought of this thread must be a wendyite. Have some respect, you daft bugger.

 

[Sheffsteel]

Sharp takes the manager mantle.

Yeh it’s written in the stars…..everyone knows Billy Sharp will return as player manager one day.
Our fans will probably expect him to play up front even when he’s 50.

I thought the same….slightly insensitive title….then I saw the originator was knowsnowt.
So it’s not surprising….he has a wacky sense of humour and goes in areas others fear to tread….finding bits of humour in serious subjects.
Don’t mind it myself, makes me smile…..and we know what he really means….

It’s a valid point….the club seems stuck in this Warnock- Wilder bladey blade loop.
When Warnock left…..we changed everything with Robbo….it quickly failed so we brought Blackwell back to copy Warnocks blueprint.
When Wilder left…..we changed everything with Slav….it also quickly failed so we brought Heckingbottam in to copy Wilders blueprint.
Wilder has left a 2nd time…..we again try a big change with Peter Sellars…..it’s failed again in record time….the obvious answer is to bring back Wilder.
But it does make you wonder what will happen after Wilder….or we doomed to failure unless the manager is a Blade?

 

['Doc' Pace my hero]

Temporary manager,I’m looking forward to seeing Del Geary take the team against Charlton on Saturday.

Trust me, for knowsnowt this is quite tame, and he has stooped well below this level many, many times before, as his banning record testifies. I enjoy his posts, regardless of whether I agree with him or not. And if you want to see the other side of Mr Nowt, check out the Natural History thread.

I DO find it humorous, by the way.
