Chris Wilder is gone… at least, according to every credible journalist. Sheffield United, meanwhile, haven’t said a word. With no statement from the club, fans are left trying to work out whether this was part of a long-term vision or a messy power play.
On this episode of The Pinch, we dig into a sacking that speaks volumes. We reflect on Wilder’s legacy, question the timing of his exit, and try to make sense of an ownership group with bold ideas, a clear disdain for sentiment, and a recruitment model powered by algorithms… or is it?
It’s a weird time to be a Blade. There’s been a lot of emotion around this terribly kept secret. But we keep plodding on, and whoever the new man is, we’ll be back at it with a cynical eye on the backroom shenanigans. It’s never boring, is it?
