Ex-Notts Player Signs For...

I don't think the headline is Wilder v Selles. It's that the Blades have chosen a very different way to run a football club - the same one we have.

That is correct but put another way if I was a Sheff Utd fan I know which one i'd want in the dugout.

Yeah, they might have to take a step back to start going forwards again. It's very hard on Wilder for sure.

But there'll be no going back to the old model - the data technology won't be dis-evented, and before too long the US sports model of a 'front office' doing everything apart from the actual coaching & team selection will be adopted right across the EFL. We'll have been ahead of the curve, that's all.

I think we'll be soon looking back at the era when ex-players/current Head Coaches were the main decision-makers on recruitment and spending someone else's money (often on people they know, or their mates know) and say wow, was that really how it was done?
