Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder has opened up on the challenges of managing what he has described as a “difficult group to deal with” amid the Blades’ slide out of the Premier League. The Blades will play Championship football next season - and start on minus two points - after a horrendous relegation campaign. The Blades have become the first side in Premier League history to concede 100 goals in 38 games - the only ever side to do so was Swindon Town in 1993/94, over 42 matches - and...
All managers need results to sustain them. Chris Wilder, for all his previous success, is no different. And he will know his recent record, including fleeting reigns at Middlesbrough and Watford, needs bolstering. Wilder has also owned one relegation from the Premier League at Sheffield United and now part-owned another, not that he or Paul Heckingbottom could have done much about it. But the Blades’ redevelopment as a club, including its infrastructure, must come first and it’s clear he is...
Of all the concerns Sheffield United had as they prepared to embark on their latest Premier League adventure last summer, the right side of their defence was not high on the list. They were, many felt, well-covered, by the experience of Chris Basham, a man who had been there before and very much done the business, and the ability of Anel Ahmedhodzic. The Bosnian had looked like a Premier League player in waiting throughout the previous campaign, rarely troubled by opposition forward lines in the...
Sam Curtis, the latest teenager to make a Sheffield United debut in the Premier League this season, has been backed to improve further after manager Chris Wilder’s “harsh” verdict on his performance at Everton on Saturday. The 18-year-old, who signed for United in January after leaving St. Pat’s in Ireland, made his English top-flight bow as a second-half substitute ust months after leaving the League of Ireland. It was, as Wilder pointed out, not the most accomplished of debuts as he wasted a...
Sheffield United will look to repeat their previous success in the loan market this summer when their big rebuild begins following relegation from the Premier League. Boss Chris Wilder is looking to freshen up his Bramall Lane group ahead of their return to the Championship, with a host of loan and out-of-contract players set to depart. The Blades expect interest in the likes of Vini Souza and Anel Ahmedhodzic, despite unconvincing seasons for both key men in a United shirt, and will hope to...
Chris Wilder played down his skipper Jack Robinson’s spat with former Blade Dominic Calvert-Lewin during Sheffield United’s defeat at Everton this afternoon. The relegated Blades lost 1-0 on their final visit to Goodison Park thanks to Abdoulaye Doucouré’s first-half header from Calvert-Lewin’s cross. But the first-half flashpoint was between the former United striker and Robinson, who shoved Calvert-Lewin to the floor and sparked a mini-melee between both sets of players. Referee Stuart Attwell...
Sheffield United may have to repeat their approach to transfers which saw Dominic Calvert-Lewin handed a Premier League chance with Everton, manager Chris Wilder has admitted, as he prepares to come face-to-face with his former striker at Goodison Park this afternoon. Wilder worked with the future England international during a loan spell at Northampton Town, linking up with him again after he took the United job the first time around. At that point Calvert-Lewin was a promising youngster but...
Chris Wilder has admitted he understands the question marks about his position as Sheffield United manager from sections of the club’s support, despite insisting he has “the trust of the majority” to carry out the Blades’ big summer rebuild. Wilder returned to Bramall Lane in December but couldn’t stop their inevitable slide back into the Championship, with the die very much cast before the decision was made to sack Paul Heckingbottom. United face heading back to the second tier on the back of...
Sheffield United will have to spend wisely ahead of their first season back in the Championship, with Chris Wilder not likely to have a big budget for his rebuild. The Blades boss has already admitted as much, saying: “We're not going to have an open chequebook and we have to be really smart with this. We're going to have to use the loan market again, which I feel we can do. We'll be one of the outstanding clubs in the Championship for young players to come to. “We'll make sure we don't overuse...
