Absolute utter rubbish written on this thread. No manager of Sheffield United has ever EVER been backed as much as Chris Wilder it is just pathetic to suggest otherwise.
If some of our fans can't move on what chance does the club have of moving forward?
We don't want Judas Wilder back and I'd be surprised if he had the nerve to show his face at the lane after crawling out of the back door with a nice not so little wedge.
Fuck him.
 
I would welcome Wilder coming back and pretending like the last 12 months never happened.

I don't think that would be the case though, Wilder clearly had issues going on professionally and personally which clearly showed in his interviews towards the end.

That said I think if we were to get a new owner in the future then I can see Wilder coming back for another go.
 
Don't see it in the same way as an "Unfaithful wife" thing as a previous poster mentioned

More a case of two people having different ideas on how the club should move forward

One who's methods have failed

And one who's methods are unknown

Can't see how they could work together again tbh

Surely that's a huge mark against him? If he "can't be arsed" to deal with players for who English is not their first language, then surely that is something he needs to work on? I don't remember Fergie having a problem like this, or Pep (for example) not getting on with English players, or players who don't speak fluent Spanish.

Football is a global game. Dealing with language barriers is part of the job. If a club/manager limit themselves to English/British players for whatever reason, then that club and manager are going to be at a disadvantage.

Should players who come to live and "work" in the UK be expected to learn English? Yes.

Should players who, for whatever reason, struggle with this (and let's remember, footballers traditionally aren't always MENSA candidates) be excluded from consideration? Absolutely no.

Hardly likely to tip up with a Yorkshire accent and understand been called a 'daft apeth' with a name like Lys Mousset is he?!
especially given the background work CW allegedly does into potential recruits ............

I just think, and this isnt an insult, CW is a man management one trick pony.

He can get a lower league player to perform above themselves, run through brick walls for him, and create a siege mentality, but when it comes to mixing it with the more astute managers, and dealing with players who probably havent heard of him before they met him - he cant change his ways and manage the ego that is bound to be there due to been told your the best thing ever since 8 years old and been a multi millionaire before your 25.

He needs players to look upto him and be a disciple of his methods and words - not look at him and think 'whos this fucker talking to?'

Warnock Mk2 anyone?

Think of Brewster - CW was retiring from playing in the 3rd division with Halifax a month after Rhian was born
For the duration of Rhians life, CW was managing the powerhouses of Halfax, Oxford and Northampton

Rhian then goes from training alongside Salah, Mane, Firmino, VVD under the guidance of Klopp

to playing alongside Burke, Mousse, McB, Jack Robinson and under the gaze of a bloke hes never heard of

Completely agree with this mate, but for me I think that was part of the reason behind his favouring of players from the home nations.

This also kind of fits with the narrative he didnt want to sign foreign players. Agggh beat me to it.

I was listening to Talksport last night whilst driving.

They were talking about West Brom being relegated and they think Sam Alladyce might stay because they would be the main favourites for promotion next season.
They highlighted that Fulham have too many loanees and Sheffield United are in turmoil and need to get out of the habit of losing.

However they mentioned the huge gap between the PL and Championship.
They said next season the Championship doesn’t look particularly strong....so all 3 relegated clubs have a good chance of being promoted at the first attempt.

One of the presenters...not sure if it was Darren Ambrose or Darren Bent.
He said he was talking to Alan Biggs who said that “if Sheff Utd offer an olive branch then according to him, Chris Wilder is prepared to return”

I’m surprised this hasn’t been mentioned before or is it old news?
Would you take Wilder back? I suppose it depends on what alternatives we have...but it would certainly give the club a boost.

"He said he was talking to Alan Biggs who said that “if Sheff Utd offer an olive branch then according to him, Chris Wilder is prepared to return"

An official from Sheffield United responded by saying, "A branch? Chris Wilder needs to bring the whole tree"

I think there were other issues at play rather than professional disagreements with the board.

Didn't Wilder have a bereavement in his family before Christmas? I think too much went off in the last 12 months and Wilder clearly couldn't cope with it all.

If he was willing to return. Would he change the way he recruits looking abroad etc. Would he have a plan b if things go tits up. We all know how stubborn he is. I'm sorry but he's tried to resign a couple of times so it's best we move on and go for someone else. There's no way he will change any of that

Fuck him! He went out of the bog window and the windows now shut!!

Ye but look at the state of a lot on here and it's hardly surprising

Everyone's life would be a lot easier if they separated the Sheffield United manager from the Sheffield United fan.

Wilder certainly did that so it should be easy enough.
 
Don't believe there's anything in it but don't think it's remotely viable anyway

If this had been the case I would have been more than happy to see him back. In the macho world of football has a manager ever taken a sabbatical? I can't think of one.

Personally I don't think it would be possible to come back now - there would always be the niggling doubt that he wouldn't be able to cope with the pressure again unless that is he could swallow his pride and accept a technical/director of football - but I doubt that would be realistic

I agree
 
We need to move on now. It was a great 4 and a half years but we need to change our approach.

I think he'd look a bit of an idiot if all of a sudden all is forgiven and he comes back.
 
Certainly get the idea that we should move on but I'm not particularly excited about it. Onward doesn't necessarily mean upwards, I can't think of many times in my life where changing a manager has improved things.
 
I don't know why he was so keen to jettison Billy.

In terms of forwards we subscribed to a combined 68m on attack minded players - McBurnie(17), Mousset(10), Brewster(23), Robinson(7), Burke (5), Freeman(6).

None of them are anywhere near as deadly as the two forwards I haven't listed, with a combined age of almost 70!

I do find the concept of the club offering an olive branch an odd one. If Chris were to be considered as a genuine option there'd have to be contrition on both sides.

It couldn't be my way or the high way. He'd have to be open to change. The more he looks at other jobs at a high level, the more he must realise that change is needed to sustain a career at the top 2 levels.
 
We had some brilliant times but he buggered it up. In a far more spectacular way than Warnock. If the stories about "not being arsed" about players whose first language isn't English have some truth, I'm glad he's gone, because even dinosaurs like Bruce and Allardyce are beyond that rubbish.
If he came back, I can't see his personality and style changing, it hasn't over 4 years, so we'd just get more of the same.
No thanks!!
