Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday fans react to the Chris Wilder to Burnley rumour started by Rio Ferdinand.
Chris Wilder looks on during the Sky Bet Championship match between Sheffield United and Norwich City.
Former defender Rio Ferdinand has predicted the managerial merry-go-round following the sacking of Ronald Koeman by Everton.
Ferdinand took to Twitter to suggest that Burnley boss Sean Dyche will succeed Koeman and in turn, Sheffield United’s Chris Wilder will take charge at Turf Moor.
The Blades have certainly started the season well under Wilder after he guided them to the League One title with 100 points in 2016/17.
Their 2-1 victory over Reading at the weekend was their ninth victory in 13 Championship matches this term and they are only behind second-placed Cardiff City in the automatic promotion places on goal difference alone.
Understandably, after taking their club out of the third tier of English football for the first time in five years and starting so well this time around, the Bramall Lane faithful do not want to see Wilder leave.
Across the city in the blue and white half of Sheffield some Wednesday fans are enjoying the speculation linking their rivals’ boss with another club.
