Chris Wilder admits he took on "too much responsibility" as his fairytale spell at boyhood club Sheffield United came to a gruesome end - though urged clubs to do their research amid his interest in Aberdeen's vacancy.
Wilder took the Blades from League One mediocrity to the Premier League in the space of just three years, and with a ninth-placed finish in the top-flight on his first outing in the competition, Wilder has heralded as the best up-and-coming English manager for massively overachieving with a group of players that had by large never played in the Premier League before.
That all came crashing to an end the following season, with his side languishing in bottom place and unable to secure survival, though Wilder had left earlier into the season. And, when a stint at Middlesbrough went awry with a run of poor form, it marked his first sacking after 20 years. But determined to get back into the game, Wilder has been linked with the Dons vacancy.
