For sure, although that’s a bit different as style of play could have suited the step up, and did early in the season. It’s v rare than sides get promoted from Cship who don’t dominate the ball, which isn’t the blueprint for PL survival.

Can flip that by saying the jobs Martin would have been able to get in May are probably of a higher level than now?

He’s really, really good

The way Blades are setting up this season would be much more conducive to PL survival bid than last time, although they finished 9th that time round so Wilder did pretty exceptionally to start!

I wouldn’t advocate it but I could certainly see the logic behind it yes, albeit not quite as extreme an ideology as Martin

Yeah, and have you seen my son’s?!

Chelsea old boys only? What’s Robert Huth up to?

I don’t *think* you have to worry about that

I'm torn. I'd love the club to stick to the plan and hire a coach who will try to get us to play in a way condusive to the development of young talent. On the other hand, as much as appointing Rowett would go against that, he'd surely give us a better chance of staying up and consolidating

Is that a compliment veiled as an insult or vice versa 😂

Argh ☹️
