Crazy decision.
This season hasn't gone to plan but it is difficult to see a better person for the Sheffield united job next year than Chris Wilder.
If I was the Sheffield united hierarchy and ultimately wanted a DOF, I would have put it on the back burner until it was the right time for CW to go. That wouldn't have meant CW had the absolute authority, but i'd have seen it as the option likely to get the best short term results.
