Until results don't go the right way and he has to make rash, panic buys to appease the fans and owners!

Stoke spent big for years, just to tread water-on the flip side Fulham spent big for one season, only to come straight back down, it's about getting a balance.

If anything, United have done it right in getting where they are Grapps, and I have to admire that. But as you know, the Prem is different gravy, teams have tried to go into it with continuity from the season before, apart from a few, it doesn't usually end well.

Well the will to win has seen United through (coupled with Leeds giving them a helping hand) I think the will to win wont be enough next season, Wilder will have to splash out the 40k a week (if allowed) to bring in the correct personnel, I would imagine that the team will be disbanded and maybe more ins and outs than Wednesday. The big test for Wilder is that he brings in players with the 'will to win' and not one season mercenary's (as others have done before)

Well done the blades, it shows you what a good work ethic and a team that plays for each over can do. Hopefully we will see you the season after next (one way or another)

Steve Gibson calling for EFL to investigate Owls, Derby and Villa.

It's your rant pal, if you think it the case find it out and send to Steve Gibson, but as you say, your not 100%! -

I've highlighted the truth and meaningful part of your rant. -
Strange knock at the door asking if we were Polish

That's how the 2nd World war started! -
Thought I would update this as United's form has took a turn for the worse. It seems that United have hit the 3 fatal floors needed for poor results: 1) Lack of form 2) Injuries and suspensions 3) Bad luck Form seems to have gone out of the window, Norwood (by all accounts) cant find a pass for love nor money, Fleck has become an ineffective passenger in games and a tight, effective defence has become anything but this. Injuries and suspensions have hit United hard (like Wednesday the last 2 seasons) Egan's suspension and Bashams injury have left them short of defensive cover, the biggest loss is Sharp as you will now have to rely on a aging Mc Goldrick (by all accounts Madine and Hogan aren't cutting it) Bad luck is a funny one, you take the good with the bad, by all accounts there was a foul before Millwall's goal yesterday and Wilder remonstrated with the referee (which could lead to a fine or touch line ban) I think you just have to get on with it and believe that the luck will even itself out. Will United re-find the will to win to enable them to push for automatics or take momentum into the play-offs? who knows, but they will have to do this quickly as the season is at risk of becoming a damp squib (like Wednesday's)

What do you think?

Sheffield teams wont be both in play off final

Thanks for posting this, did you by chance notice the date of the article (even though the star published it at 12:01)? -
They played really well but have to score penalty's, not to disheartened and hope we can get some momentum for next season now!
-
This makes no sense.
-
Not quite, one thing is missing, he may well get it this year!
-
I'm sure Warnock fits into the sort of same category, but struggled when he went into the prem (and every team he's managed in the prem) I'm not saying Wilder will struggle (if he get's his chance) in the Premier league, but you can only judge him when he gets their.

Cheers pal I did find this, I'll gather you missed it: 'While the clubs declined to comment on Friday, privately insiders insist they will not be found to have breached financial fair play rules'
-
You got me at 'if the nationals are to be believed' 😂 Which clubs have got beef with us pal?
-
We have already had a soft embargo that got lifted, the difference between Wednesday and Brum is that we didn't sign some one for 2million and pay them 20,000 a week whilst still under the embargo. We have a serious summer of balancing the books and will probably be under embargo at some point, only time will tell if releasing the 8-9 players and shipping out others will help!
-
Just an opinion mate, chill.....your 2nd in the league!
-
Would you take 100/1 on United not getting into the play offs?
-
May I ask what this has got to do with an unbeaten run?
-
And equally not conceding!
-
And celebrate you did, congratulations
-
Celebrating the better half of Sheffield's unbeaten league run!

That's actually a record for me, spelled it wrong 3 times in one post, I blame it on the beer 😂
