Bad form but going down anyway, did wonders to get them up and keep them there.

Chris Wilder leaves Sheffield United having taken them to the Premier League from League One; the Blades finished ninth last season - their first top-flight campaign since 2006/07 - but are currently bottom and 12 points off safety with 10 games remaining

Apparently part of it was disagreements whether to introduce DoF or not. If only there was a club with board resistant to DoF, looking for new manager this summer with Lancashire roots at top of their list...
Perhaps he fancies the Celtic job...
Doncaster beckons
won't even have to move house
Strange timing. At least Sheffield Utd don't have to worry about Fat Sam coming in.
What's the point of getting promoted if a club sacks a manager when there is a threat of relegation. Wilder has done a great job and should be thanked not sacked.
Let's get him in asap and get another "new manager bounce". 2 in a season should see us promoted.
It's odd how it's all gone to shit for him. Nobody expected him to do as well as last season, but he hasn't got a tune out of any of them. Remember when we beat them down our place, August time during the promotion season, they'd just been promoted, it was during the time Mendez was looking like Ronaldo They played some really good stuff and you could see that they were going to do alright.
I think there is rather more than the ‘threat’ of relegation. They have been down since Christmas. Wilder came out with a rather strange statement a couple of weeks ago, when he said in an interview that he would not be worried by relegation as he felt the team would do well in the Championship because they had deliberately been pursuing a transfer policy of signing Championship quality players this season. I felt that was a very odd thing to say and certainly wouldn't have pleased the fans. It gives an insight into something going on behind the scenes. They certainly haven't pushed the boat out with transfer fees for the last two seasons, apart from paying £20m for Brewster, an untried youngster at Premier League level who has had a poor season.
Ramsdale - £18.5m
Lowe & Bogle - £11m
Brewster - £23.5m
Freeman - £5m
Mousset - £10m
McBurnie - £20m
Berge - £22m
C.Robinson - £8m
Osborn - £3.5m
That's about £120m over two seasons, hardly pennies. I'd also be pretty miffed as Sheffield United's owner if I spent £40m+ on Brewster & McBurnie and David McGoldrick was my top scorer
He's a product of their youth policy as well
