It's a topic that needs consideration. Most of us regard Wilder as crucial to any progress we make in the short to midterm, and the suggestion that he either doesn't need, or deserve, a pay rise is immaterial to what paying him will do for the Blades. Letting Wilder know he's wanted is a self-evident statement of intent. I'm not talking a ridiculous figure like a 10-year contract, but certainly a hefty rise on his current salary and an increase in the length of his agreement.
I may be wrong but I seem to recall that we're supposed to be paying Brayford £10 thousand a week? And yet Wilder's new agreement offers him £4K a week? If that's close to correct then something is wrong. Whatever the reasons, the pros and cons, without Wilder we'd almost certainly still be considering which Division 1 ground we'd be visiting this coming season. It was Wilder that signed almost a new team, yet we value him at £4K per week? I hope I'm wrong, but if that figure is correct we will, at some point, get gazumped and not know what hit us.
