In a sensational turn of events, Chris Wilder looks set to return to Sheffield United for a third time.

Wilder was sacked by the Blades 87 days ago but is set to return to the hot seat after Ruben Selles was sacked.

Sheffield United have lost every game this season and Wilder will have plenty of issues to fix, but is returning to Bramall Lane the right thing?

Neil Warnock explained why Chris Wilder was right to leave Sheffield United in 2021

Returning to your boyhood club isn’t easy to turn down. Someone who will know what it means to manage your beloved team is Neil Warnock.

He was in charge between 1999-2007, before highlighting a breakdown in relations between him and the board.

It seemed that Wilder and the current owners had some tensions before he was dismissed after the play-off loss to Sunderland.

That is tough to repair and in 2021, after Wilder’s first sacking, Warnock told the Yorkshire Post: “Everybody knows Chris has done a fabulous job. But managers have to get on with owners, whether you like it or not.

“If it gets very stretched, Chris has got his own right to say what he wanted having been there so many years after doing what he has done.

“But you have to feel you can work in a situation and he obviously felt there were certain things that he couldn’t.”

Chris Wilder is on his final chance at Sheffield United

Sheffield United have been warned about reappointing Wilder for a third time, and those critics are probably justified.

The owners appear to have admitted they were in the wrong, which is admirable, but there are only so many times you can go back to what you know.

Wilder knows that himself and this is his last chance saloon and if he is unable to perform this time around, then he will run out of time to continue living his dream.
