Lrrr Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 Seems like its a disagreement with the new owner over transfers and wanting Wilder to convert to a head coach position with a DOF brought in over him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernard Lerring Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 What a bizarre time to sack him, I doubt even Pep could keep them up now. They'd be better off letting him rebuild them with the parachute payments next season and storm the league. Odd decision! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As above its not performance its the new owner wanting Wilder to accept being head coach with a DOF rather than manager and having control over transfers etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsince1994 Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 Pearson, because he is already here. If we had Wilder now, I would want him to stay. Don't want to have to start over yet again this summer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 Just highlights the difference between them & Norwich, who have a plan & so stick to it. They pretty much replicated Sheff U’s season last year but were confident that Farke would take them back up & as they are 10 points clear, it looks like they were right. A change at the top is a gamble & Sheff U will be extremely clever (or lucky) to find another Wilder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A change at the top is a gamble & Sheff U will be extremely clever (or lucky) to find another Wilder. It’s due to a change in structure after Wilder signed some players last summer for a lot of money that haven’t worked out. He won’t work under new structure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exAtyeoMax Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 why would Nige want to leave a managerial position in favour of a head coach role? Doesn't make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he captained them when they got to two cup finals in the 1990s. Surely that would be a massive reason against too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonBristolian Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 Maybe I'll be proven wrong but getting rid of Wilder seems to be an absolutely ridiculous decision, whatever the reasons. Sheffield United had been in the doldrums for years and had years of underachievement before he took over there and, given the speed of their rise, I'm not sure how solid the foundations are underpinning it. They'll have the parachute payments but the Championship is ultra competitive and he's made that team more than the sum of its parts. I can easily see them being a Huddersfield or worse.
