Newcastle United fans want Chris Wilder to replace Steve Bruce, amid claims that they are lining up an approach for the former Sheffield United boss.
Duncan Castles has said on the Transfer Window Podcast that Newcastle are keen on Wilder, as they assess potential replacements for Bruce.
EuroSport have also backed up those suggestions, by calming he is on Newcastle’s shortlist.
And Magpies fans are certainly keen for Wilder to be given the reins as soon as possible.
The appeal of Wilder for Newcastle fans is clear to see.
While his Sheffield United side performed poorly this term, his record over recent years has been nothing short of exceptional.
Wilder has enjoyed success at every level of English football and has done so in an attractive manner.
With Newcastle just two points above the drop zone, the appointment of Wilder could help to save their season.
But whether Mike Ashley will actually pull the trigger and part ways with Bruce remains to be seen.
