petcharlie   10 #1 Posted March 25, 2019 According to the Daily Mail Wilder has the best record for league wins in the whole of the football league which also includes the Prem.If that's correct it shows just how lucky we Blades are .In the article it goes on to say that he has  achieved it the hard way taking over Northampton who were seven points adrift at the bottom of league two with a winding up order hanging over his head.He managed to steer them to safety and the next season he got them promoted.This is all after he performed miracles at Oxford who he steered to promotion in to the football league.The man is a winner he has never been sacked which in this day and age is virtually unheard of.Now how the Mail has come to these conclusion I am not sure when you think of The Man cities and Liverpools it makes you wonder but it makes interesting reading anyway.I am sure if the plot went pear shaped at the Lane I do not think he would have to beg for a job any club would snap him up .The players love him and the fans to which is the norm according what Northampton and Oxford fans said when we were lucky enough to get him at the Lane.

speedy69   10 #2 Posted March 25, 2019 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

abbeyedges   83 #5 Posted March 25, 2019 If his name was Christiano Wilderinho from another part of the world then I'm sure he'd have been snapped up by a Premier league club by now.  But Chris Wilder from Stocksbridge means he's operating under the radar.  Long may it continue.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Whether it be a lack of budget? Or whatever other unfounded spite.  On paper Wilder's record at BDTBL is superior to that of Warnock, in fact a hefty 10% more superior.  Wilder's a class act and we are extremely lucky to have him at the club. Not quite, one thing is missing, he may well get it this year!

atticus   97 #8 Posted March 26, 2019 Even if Wilder doesn't get us promoted, ask any Blade who is the better manager and i reckon over 90% would pick Wilder over Warnock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

As much as I love CW/AK and their style of play, this season still wouldn't beat the "Triple Assault" season in my opinion. With the players we had, Warnock and Blackwell worked wonders taking us to two cup semi-finals and a play-off final.
