Wilder can become 'greatest modern-era boss'

Chris Wilder has, not for the first time, completely changed the fortunes of Sheffield United.

Last season was one to forget, with relegation to the Premier League inevitable by the turn of the year.

Despite losing players over the summer - and having to rely heavily on astute signings and the club's academy - Wilder has United right in the promotion mix to return to the top flight.

The club's new owners have hit the ground running, with impressive January window signings and now a new deal for the manager and his two key lieutenants Alan Knill and Matt Prestridge.

Nobody understands the Bramall Lane club better than Wilder and he will undoubtedly be a source of great help to ownership moving forward.

It also needs to be remembered that last time the Blades were promoted, Wilder had them pushing for Europe and they secured a top-half finish.

There's nobody better to try and get United back in the big time, then keep them there.

With two promotions at the club already secured and a potential third in his future, this deal until 2028 could secure Wilder's legacy as Sheffield United's greatest modern-era boss.
