The Sheffield United board are reviewing Chris Wilder's position as head coach as they plan for next season.

The Blades missed out on promotion to the Premier League after losing the play-off final to Sunderland at Wembley.

These discussions include the possibility of sacking Wilder - but no decision has been made at this stage.

There is a split across the Sheffield United board about which direction to take, with some members backing Wilder and others feeling a change should be made.

An extensive review has been in place since the season finished, and it is expected that in the coming days the club's new owners will make decisions on what their strategy will be for the summer with regard to recruitment and Wilder?s position at the club.


Sounds like the new investing Yanks who, have only just completed a take over, aren't happy at losing out on mega millions.

Personally I thought Wilder did an amazing job at The Lane last season and they'd be foolish to dismiss him so early. To finish on a massive 90 points and still not get automatic promotion was a feat in itself. Yes they bottled it on three games they should have won on paper while they were sitting at the top but, it's not always the Manager's fault and the players have to take some blame for that but, they still get paid so screw whoever is managaing them and if they get the sack.
