After a summer littered with upheaval and uncertainty at Bramall Lane – and it is not over yet – Chris Wilder could not have wished for a better opening five days to start life back in the Championship for Sheffield United.
Wilder, by his own admission, said in the run-up to the big kick-off last weekend that his squad was not where he would have wanted it to be going into last Friday night’s Championship opener against Preston. Sixteen senior players out, only a handful coming in the other way and still no end in sight to a takeover saga that has rumbled on all summer.
