He didn’t leave because of the budget, he said himself that there was a good budget. I can understand him not wanting to commit for 2 years at his age and health wise. As for Wilder the only thing against him for me is he doesn’t like a director of football he likes control.
His record in the lower leagues is second to no one he bought Sheffield Utd from league 1 to premiership and finished top half. Ok he’s had a bad year but all managers have them. If you take time to look at his record it’s outstanding.
Wilders CV

Can we just take a look at Wilder’s CV:

2001-02 - Alfreton Town - wins all 4 competitions he enters that season
2002-08 - Halifax Town - keeps a financial basket case afloat, pushes for promotion and survives in the division despite part time status and points deductions - club eventually wound-up
2008-14 - Oxford Utd - Promotion from Conference, comfortable survival in L2, leaves with them chasing the playoffs
2014-16 - Northampton Town - inherits side in bottom 2, survives and wins league following season despite players / staff not being paid for 6 months
2016-21 - Sheff Utd - Inherits side that’s struggled in L1 for several years... wins promotion first season, then finishes top half the season after. Promotion follows with a bottom half budget before finishing top half in the PL...

Admittedly he signed Chris Burke and has struggled this season - but prior to lockdown and THAT Hawkeye mistake at Villa they looked like making the bloody Champions League.

As a manager, Wilder has won trophies in non-league, and has won promotion from the Conference, L1, L2, The Championship and finished top half in the PL.

He’s won promotion at 4 out of 5 sides he’s managed and up until this season he’s finished in a higher position with every club he’s managed at this decade.
For me it’s a bloody god CV.

Hey 13, that's a really good post and I agree, it's hard to argue against that record/CV.

The only true opposition, in my view, would be the dream team of Slick and Josh, joint managers.
How about it folks?

I'd agree with wba13's post really, it's hard to argue against Wilder's record.

A friend who is an Oxford fan rated him highly and he was gutted when left, especially as he went on to work miracles at Northampton. Ironically, a couple of the players he had at Sheffield United this season - George Baldock and John Lundstrom - were acquired from Oxford, so he's good at identifying players who can make the step up from lower in the pyramid.

He never managed them at Oxford, he just noticed them as he kept an eye on the team after he left...

He's done well everywhere he's been and for all Sheffield United's flaws this season, they never got embarrassed by anyone. That is despite the fact that a lot of the team are those that were purchased when they were in League 1 and/or Championship, including the aforementioned who arrived from Oxford.

However I do have a problem that when given big money at Sheffield United, his transfer record was beyond miserable...

When United were promoted, he spent the best part of £35m on the forward trio of Oli McBurnie, Lys Mousset and our very own Callum Robinson...

The following summer he gave us Robinson and money for Oliver Burke and spent almost almost £25m on Brewster. Burke and Brewser collectively scored a whopping 1 league goal. In fact, that entire £50m forward line - McBurnie, Mousset, Burke and Brewster - have scored just 2 goals between them season. That's half of the amount Mohammed Diagne has scored for us since arriving in January as a 'desperation' signing.

They were outscored by journeymen old timers David McGoldrick and Billy Sharp, the players they were signed to replace and players who rightfully have been lower league journeymen for their whole career.

So that's my concern, we need a big summer in the transfer market and his record in recent times is woeful. We're not big enough to throw cash down the drain and that's exactly what Sheffield United have done in abundance over the past few years. With the exception of Sander Burge, I couldn't pick out another success story signing by Sheffield since promotion. He even spent £18m on Aaron Ramsdale, who did okay at Bournemouth, but wasn't worth anywhere near that.

He's clearly good at getting the best out of players and I'm not particularly adverse to his style of football from what I've seen. Even his centre backs got forward and overlapped from open play at Sheffield. It was quite refreshing.

But for me our success depends on success in the transfer market, so I'd sooner we employed someone with an eye for a good acquisition rather than good coach. From what I've seen, I'd put Wilder in the latter bracket.

How about Mason if Spurs don't give him the Managers job for next year?

Wilder has had a taste of the big time and wants more. Gossip says he has turned down WBAs offer on financial grounds. £1.1million is not enough to tempt him.
Greed is never a good starting point for any manager. A million a year, promotion bonus and a flex up to £2 million a year is not good enough?
Forget him and find someone who wants the job not a money grabber.

Agree if what Nixon of the sun says is right, but do any of use trust reporter’s the only one I trust is Percy never far out.
