As much as I want them to drop to help our cause, I really like the bloke.
Always honest, he managed his club, he got them promoted on a low-ish budget and it p'd off envious Massive.
I hope he has success elsewhere, but not at Smellhurst.

How soon is now?
Not so much a myth, but the boost doesn't tend to last more than one or two games

Despite their problems this season, we couldn't beat them at home despite playing with a man extra for almost an hour.
Burnley kept Dyche and bounced straight back. Norwich look like they'll do the same with Farke. Wilder could have done that.
This season's a bit of a write-off anyway in plenty of respects for many supporters and it's far too late for them to stay up now.
If they were going to replace him, there was ample opportunity and reason before Christmas and the January window to do so.
With the new Championship season due to start in less than 5 months time, it's an unnecessary and redundant decision at best.

Chelsea must be due for a manager.

Newcastle should be all over this. The bloke is available and his former team are going down. Nightmare scenario - the Toon sack Bruce, appoint Wilder, he gives them a bounce and we go down with the Blades and the Baggies.
And if that doesn't happen he takes over at Palace in the summer and they get a decent manager.
Either way, this is not good news.

I can't see him being out of a job for long.
The media have all been pretty consistent in pinning United's resurgence on his management.
Very few (if any) have blamed him for their run of form this season.
His stock is pretty high at the moment. May not get a move to a prem club, but Championship teams will be all over him.

No way will Wilder end up at Newcastle. Mike Ashley already has his "happy-to-be-here" manager installed, a guy he knows won't make any waves about lack of funding/backing. Wilder would go there and expect to be backed, which is a headache Ashley would prefer to avoid.
Roy will be wheeled out the door in his bathchair with a blanket over his knees, and Palace will unfortunately get themselves a very decent manager for next season.
I hope he doesn't go there as I like the bloke but Palace should be all over this. I would take him over Howe and Dyche any day.

Leaving at the end of the season.

Was probably always on the cards. Let's hope they don't have a stonking finish to the season

Aside from our game at BL, their finish to the season will have no bearing on us at all. If we can't finish above them when we're 12 points clear of them with 10 to go (11 for us), then we'll have been comfortably overhauled by everyone below and around us, not just them.

Sheffield United have been managed by four men in recent times, all of whom have been lifelong fans of the club, in Neil Warnock, Micky Adams, Simon Grayson, and Chris Wilder.
It must have been a very long time since anything like that has happened with any club.

They do have to play Newcastle and Burnley so I’d be happy for Sheffield Utd wins there to help our cause.
Hmmm - seems he is set to leave today if you believe the BBC.
If so that would be Sheff U & West Brom that have gambled on manager changes maybe saving them (or are the just preparing for life in the Championship?). That leaves us , Fulham & Newcastle hoping that the existing manager is able to save the day. One of the three is going to be left regretting that decision.
