00:00 Do you think Sheffield United have made the right decision in changing their manager?

00:03 Well unfortunately only time will tell but they could have done a lot worse.

00:07 It's a difficult position that they're in and at least Chris Wilder knows the scene,

00:10 he knows the score.

00:12 I think he'll get the most out of the players he possibly can do.

00:15 But I have to say that my allegiance is with Rotherham United and not Sheffield United

00:20 and we're looking for a new manager as well.

00:23 Do you think Sheffield United have done the right thing in getting rid of their manager

00:28 and changing him?

00:29 Yeah I do but I'm not sure about the changes around the back because I don't think fans

00:34 are too keen.

00:36 But yeah, they have.

00:39 Could you tell me please if you think Sheffield United have done the right thing in changing

00:42 manager?

00:43 No, definitely not.

00:44 Why not?

00:45 I like Hickey but I don't think they should have got rid of him because it's people above

00:49 him not getting him what he needs.

00:51 We haven't got funding or anything to buy in new players so he can only work with what

00:55 he's got so I think no matter who comes in, Uwe de Gert or Wilder or whatever, he's still

01:00 got to work with the same people that he's got.

01:04 Could you tell me if you think Sheffield United have done the right thing in sacking their

01:07 manager?

01:09 So I think they lost 5-0 recently against Bottom of the League so the consensus seems

01:13 to be in my office that yeah it was the right thing to do.

01:18 Could you tell me please if you think Sheffield United have done the right thing in sacking

01:21 their manager?

01:22 No.

01:23 Why not?

01:24 Well, Wilder didn't do any good.

01:27 If he'd been that good, somebody else would have had to come for him months ago.

01:31 Do you think Higginbottom is doing a good job?

01:34 He's tried his best.

01:36 It's the players.

01:37 The players have got to let him down.
