'We can't keep defaulting to Wilder'

- Published

Former Sheffield United defender Chris Basham may have said he's not surprised to see Chris Wilder back in charge of the Blades but some of you would have liked a different face in the dugout.
We asked for your thoughts and here is what some of you had to say about Wilder's reappointment:
Liam: Shouldn't have been sacked in the first place, but good of the board to admit they'd made a mistake and try to rectify it. Would have liked to have seen Dyche at least considered given his Premiership experience, but eh well, at least you can't say being a Blade is boring. Wilder's army we are again.
Dutch: I'm a massive fan of Chris Wilder fan for everything he's done for the club. But we need a succession plan as we can't keep defaulting back to him.
Dean: Terrible mistake, we've turned into a joke club that apparently only one person in the world can manage. People have short memories, Bramall Lane was like a morgue toward the end of last season. Boring sideways and backwards football. Oh dear.
Chris: It's getting to the point that Sheffield United should just either stay with Wilder for a big spell or they sack him, find a new manager, and if they don't work out get a plan C. Not just get a new manager, they don't work out and go back to Wilder.
Brian: Backward step. Back to boring football.
Tom: Getting rid of Wilder at the start of the season was for me was the right one but ONLY if we got someone decent in charge and we didn't. I think this is the board saying "we messed up, we are righting a massive wrong". Still not my first choice but rather have Wilder over an AI manager from the Kazakhstani league or someone no one has ever heard of.
Ian: Don't like his style of play and no plan B but will get them playing for the badge.
James: For all the talk of United's 90 points last year, those who saw the games will know it was a hard watch and no plan B. The signings made at the end of the window were less AI than Chris Wilder suggesting his return had been on the cards for a while. He'll keep us up this year - of course he will - but the law of diminishing returns says that another go at the Prem is a long way off.
James: Wilder back in the chair and talk of Prince Abdullah being asked to re-invest - might as well bring back Dave Bassett, Billy Whitehurst and the ghost of Derek Dooley. Wednesday were supposed to be Sheffield's banter club this season… SUFC: "hold my beer".
