Wilder 'best possible option' for Blades

Sheffield United chief executive Stephen Bettis believes Chris Wilder is the "best possible option" to take the club forward after he was appointed for a second spell in charge of the Blades, succeeding Paul Heckingbottom.

Bettis said: "Following discussions, the board feel that Chris is the best possible option to give the Blades a change in fortune at this time and everyone at the club is delighted to welcome him back.

"His love for United and desire to improve the current situation is undeniable, added to the fact that he knows the majority of the squad and the club's DNA, which will help him hit the ground running."
