A meeting is scheduled to take place in which the owners of the football club will discuss whether they want Chris Wilder to continue as the team’s manager.
All the noises from the other side suggest Wilder is raring to go and crack on to try and get Sheffield United promoted next season.
It does seem strange such a short time after the play-off final, and given Wilder’s successes – he was a kick of a ball away from becoming, via some metrics, Sheffield United’s most successful manager – that this is even a discussion.
I can understand where some fans have reservations about AI [being used for recruitment processes]. You can cite certain teams but it’s never going to be the same as at Brighton and Brentford of how they use their recruitment models.
Nobody outside the inner workings of those clubs is ever going to know what goes on.
There is no silver bullet to recruitment and in any recruitment process, I’m sure a lot of fans will agree that there has to come a point where you use the technology. Great, that’s fine.
But there has to be the human element of it because there isn’t a statistic in the world that can tell you about heart, fight and character. Can you do it when the chips are down?
