The bloody muppets at Sheffield United have finally sacked that useless twat Ruben Selles. About time, mate. The lad couldn't manage a piss-up in a brewery. And guess who's set for a shock return? None other than Chris Wilder, the bloke they binned off just three months ago. What a joke of a club, honestly.
Wilder set for third stint at Sheffield United
Sources close to the Championship's bottom club, Sheffield United, are saying that Chris Wilder is gearing up for his third stint as the boss. It's a proper rollercoaster ride at Bramall Lane, innit? First, they give Wilder the boot after losing last season's play-off final. Then, they bring in Selles, who proceeds to lose all six of his games in charge. Brilliant decision, lads.
Selles, that bellend who was sacked as Hull boss just a month before rocking up at Sheffield United in June, has now lost another Championship job. Surprise, surprise. He's officially the first EFL boss to get the chop this season. Well done, mate. You've made history.
Sheffield United's 5-0 defeat to Ipswich Town on Friday ensured they remain pointless and stuck at the bottom of the second division. Pathetic. The South Yorkshire outfit have lost five straight games at the start of the season and haven't scored since the opening day last month. What an absolute shambles.
Wilder approached over Sheffield United return
Despite all the drama, the club's most successful manager of the modern era, Wilder, is being approached for a third spell in charge of his boyhood club. He's twice won promotion with the Blades before, so maybe, just maybe, he can salvage this absolute mess of a season.
The shocking start to this season has seen the COH Sports ownership group approach Wilder over the prospect of a third spell in charge of his boyhood club, to add to two as a player. Talk about a glutton for punishment. But hey, who are we to judge? If he can turn this car crash of a team around, then fair play to him.
Selles axed by Sheffield United
The Spaniard, Selles, has overseen the club's worst start in the second tier for 30 years since they opened the 1995/96 season with five straight defeats. His tactical decisions have also come under fire from the frustrated Bramall Lane faithful. Dropping Gustavo Hamer, last year's EFL Championship Player of the Season, for the 5-0 loss to Ipswich? What was he thinking? COH representatives were in attendance at Portman Road on Friday night to ramp up the pressure on the beleaguered Selles. Good riddance, I say.
