"HE DID NOTHING BUT COMPLAIN!" Simon Jordan defends Prince Abdullah over Chris Wilder criticism 

Wilder refused Soucek cause he’s not from EPL

Two sides to every argument but the guy on the phone was so biased towards Wilder. I'm with SJ and Prince Abdullah on this one

Why would you pay a manager 4m for resigning? Wilder has lost his mind 🤣🤣

I kind of understand the chairmans point here, Wilder was moaning a lot and saying how bad his players were. It may be correct, yes. However, this same team got 9th last season, I don't think having a manager who says each week how bad they are helps. Even if he is being honest - if that makes sense

He spent like 25 million on 18 year kid who warms becnh in liverpool talk of no resppnsbility with that money he could have bough 2 strikers from portugal or france

Wilder never took no responsibility at the club and spent money very badly. Well said Simon for a change lol

Brilliant analysis Simon, as usual you are bang on the money again.

Simon totally right that managers love to lap up the progress but when it’s regression it’s not them and it’s the people above instead.

I remember watching one of wilders post match interviews, he was still obsessed with an incident that had happened 4 games ago, followed by "Its not my job to motivate my team", he complained all the time the muppet

Brighton fan here......have to say....Jordan speaks alot of sense......and that's not easy to say as he's Palace.

Fare play to the Prince for having his say 👏🏻

Any manager who gets his owner to spend over £20 million on a player then doesn't play him has given up the right to moan about lack of investment. How many other players did Wilder want bought who he then would then have kept on the bench? It was obvious to everybody last season that Sheffield United didn't score enough goals and their on loan keeper was stopping them shipping loads of goals. As any fan in the Championship (outside of Sheffield) what Sheffield United's biggest problem would be and they would have told you they didn't have a Premier League striker. Wilder did nothing to address the problem and hoped that his defence would do the job again for him this season. Once he got the injuries he was in trouble. One of the jobs of any manager is to defend his players no matter how poor they perform but Wilder turned on them at the first sign of trouble. You don't slag your players off in public and say some of them aren't good enough particularly the year after those same players got you a very credible finish.

Wilder ran the recruitment his own way and to be fair it got him to where he is/was. However, at this level he's been found wanting and his signings have been abject, the recruitment approach has made United look like the Dog and Duck compared to their counterparts. Instead of being willing to change he's been stubborn which has made him look pretty small minded. The Prince has taken loads of deserved stick but his point here was that he didn't advocate for a Director of Football, but he wanted Wilder to give him a wider range of targets to work with. It seems pretty reasonable to me. Also, the owner is spot on when he says he'd be worried if Wilder wanted out after spending more money 'his way' in the future. How Wilder has behaved has done himself no favours, as if his managerial talents take him further up the footballing pyramid he will have to be more open to a different style of recruitment. If he went into another Prem club demanding his draconian backwards style of transfer handling he'd be laughed all the way back to Sheffield. Also, Alan Biggs has made a career out of vanilla articles and being over pally with football managers in Sheffield, you'd get more probing questions from Lorraine Kelly.

Agree with Simon, wilder moaned alot and made excuses early rather than be positive and motivational like managers are supposed to be, 'for the team' not 'for yourself'...Happy to have Bielsa at Leeds who always takes responsibility whether we win or lose, but praises our players often.

Sounds like all AFTV fans 😏

Wilder this season was so negative, he could not inspiring as a manager tbh

"Just a bunch of disingenuous treacherous hounds" is one of the best Simon Jordan quotes

The caller is painfully biased, which is a HUGE problem in local media. Too many personal relationships which make the local fans believe biasedly written stories.

Simon Jordan absolutely spot on here

This is the reasons the prince didn't talk to you the Sheffield united pressure, because he knew you're going to take chris side and bias and his being proved right.

Simon spot on,the minute the proverbial hit the fan ,wilder wanted out ,the way wilder has acted last few months has undone any goodwill people had for the brilliant season Sheff U had last season

Im a big wilder fan but its hard to fight his corner when you analyse all being said,,, its pretty dam accurate 🤷‍♂️

The prince was right about having other options while going for a player. The ‘big’ clubs have as many as 8 options to a single player the deal doesn’t work out, but those usually have huge scouting networks. The ones that do agent-based business or can’t afford such scouting networks have about 4 on each target. No wonder Brighton play such beautiful football and are definitely headed for big big things.

All fans want an owner like prince Abdulla.

Wilder is finished... any owner going near wilder will be taking on an egoistic manager! If you’re not ready to take blame as you take credits, you’re a failure to me!

I wish clubs were allowed 4 or 5 substitutes instead of 3 just to annoy Wilder.

3 sides to every story, yours, theirs, and the truth.

He deserves the sack spending 20 mil on Brewster same as Eddie Howe spending the same on solankie fools

Simon texting at the start of the video... that was funny

PA is right though, take resposibility when things go bad. But when things go good there's no issue.

Well said Simon Jordan. Hits the nail on the head

What's logical about him becoming the Newcastle manager. If he had problems at Sheffield United what's going to happen at Newcastle

Half way through the season some blades fans were wanting Wilder out and when he finally was sacked was moaning disgrace. Wilder seemed stubborn and unwilling to change the style of play because clubs figured them out. He also wasted millions on strikers that he didn't even play. He was very negative in interviews and seemed unable to pick the players up. He couldn't say he wasn't backed mousset, mcburnie and brewster who he didn't play 17 million on each. Everybody knows you need goals in the premiership. Would have been smarter move to get experienced players at end of career on loan then to put all your eggs in one basket on unproven players and championship level.

Wilder has clearly found his potential - Top championship manager / relegation zone premier league manager !

Well the caller made it clear... he’s biased. His own words

You could apply everything Simon Jordan has said to Jose Mourinho but he defends him to the hilt.

What is simon's relation to sheffield (ik he was at crystal palace), he's the one the prince was referring to in the interview right?

Alan biggs... coming from a blade ... that was incredibly bias and closed minded

Shout out to Dart Vader somewhere in that studio 👏🏾

These two get on like a cat and a dog. Good entertainment

Simon Jordan is superb. Unlike most people in football, he is not a fence sitter.

I just noticed that both Sheffield clubs (United and Wednesday) finished very bottom of their respective leagues and were relegated last season. What a coincidence.

What’s the difference with troopz and them man

Simon Jordan was bang on about AFTV, as for managers yeah Jose Moan-inho , when he wins great when he loses everyone else fault but his

Not convinced I'd ever believe a Prince over a fan who dragged a football club from league one to the prem, but it's always controversial one-sided bias in the old media.

Clubs are run by football men, and you should never underestimate what Wilder has done for that club. The Premier league is a tough tough league and under pressure I think wilder has cracked. He will be an asset for another club

Wilder is a snide, completely wasted all Sheff Utd’s transfer funds on dreadful players post promotion to the prem.

Wilder is a horrible little greedy troll

Rich lads sticking together...

Jordan is rarely off the mark .....as 45 year long United Fan . It's the right decision . CW got too ahead of himself . Dire recruitment . Tactics got found out in the last 3rd of last season . Tedious press conference s and post match fanboying the opposition while complaining about our structure and quality ...He was responsible for that as he had unprecedented control . It's the correct decision parting ways . Chris did a great job getting us to the prem and finish 9th . However we got found out and CW too stubborn to acknowledge the facts . End of story .

..... if the chairman is absent the club will fall apart, look at arsenal with kronke, the guys at Manchester United.... and recent memory at Chelsea when roman lost interest for a bit and stopped turning up..... I'm just saying, if your absent you have to be judged accordingly

😂😂😂😂Simon « The great analyst « Jordan

To back wilder is funny. If your backing him your his mate and EXTREMELY BIASED.Fact is he ain't premier ship level . Buying kids for 15,20 mill and never playing them;odd tactics. His weird odd reactions in his interviews

Alan Biggs has a clear agebda against Abdullah because he doesnt give him interviews. The same thing exists in music.

Poor prince. Simon is so biased towards owners..

Maybe David sullivan is more of a football man than I thought then 🤔 because it's all him when it goes right but always some one else when it goes wrong.

The fact that the prince has showed such humility as to involve himself in such petty issues as explaining to the media why they parted ways with a manager that literally can be replaced the next day, just shows his level of commitment. I had a soft spot for Sheffield from last season because of the way they played, but after his interview , I’m now a fan.

Wait til he works for the Albion chairman and see what he gets there lol

Rudest radio hosts ever

The bottom line here is did Chris Wilder want a £4 million pay off for making a pigs ear of Sheffield United's season. what a cheeky so&so

I think it falls somewhere in between both of them, the prince has a right To reply and wilder does as well, but we will never 100% know the whole truth tbf, the fans sit in between both and just want 100% stability either way. Wilder will always be my favirote Sheffield United manager in my 26 years, and with the prince at least he’s a lot better than McCabe so far

His signings were terrible they’ll be lucky to finish top 10 on championship next season

Wilder same as Lampard blames everyone except themselves just another myopic tactical lacking english coach

People from Yorkshire like to complain.

Jim is thick as mince Simon had to translate for him

We dont want him at Newcastle.

Absolutely hate these rich arab owners but for the first time i think , in this situation , its wilder who has realised that perhaps he is out of his depth or the pound signs corrupted him - I think Abdullah did his best for sheffield but the manager just looked after himself at the expense of the club. shame on you wilder.

Can't wait to hear _Wilder's_ version of events.

Of course he defends those in power

Jordan is so smug, and everything comes back to him. I used to be an owner- yeah, years ago. How did that end up? Jim White STILL thinks TalkShite is a relevant and powerful force. So many RU-vid channels trounce them every day of the week.

Clueless Chris and his bunch of Muppets.

We don't want saudi blood money in our game. I thought it was 'human rights on and off the pitch'?

What with the 'community warning' for f'd it up and BS? Are u serious? If this comment is ghosted then TS have gone too woke

3:25 'ofcourse, ofcourse ' I don't kw why I found that funny😂😂😂

Chris Wilder knew before christmas that he wasn't going to be in charge next season. And so did the players. Add to that second season syndrome.

Is jordan talking about himself?

Don’t agree with Simon, the chairman clearly contradicts himself by saying he left wilder to organise the transfers and wasn’t going to force a director of football, yet mention other transfers we missed out on.. clearly owner believes his money and he should have bigger say in transfers and from wilder point of view it’s his money.. he made the club over 200 mil on a shoestring budget with his players. The prince only owns the club from the money wilder made him...

Apart from sharp their strikers are terrible burke 1 goal no wonder they are where they are mind

Overrated championship manager, no different to lambert coyle adkins and all the others

At the end of the day who cares it's just Sheffield.

Jordan is defending Prince Bog Roll... no surprise there. Many Blades don't trust Bog Roll and wish he would return the club to Kevin McCabe or sell the club to owners with money who will take us forward.

Deluded numpty local press/friend

Why does Simon Jordan deserved to be interviewed like he accomplished anything in football.

Wilder is 3rd rate with no class

Simon like his wife she put pears under the bus

Rich coming from simon the right wing boomer

I need a poo!

Wilder is like most managers in England, not good at top level!

Simon there playing with his hair like a women 😂

this is hilarious hearing Simon Jordan climbing onto his high horse to get his two pence worth in over Chris Wilder and this is coming from a man who hired that well known shrinking violet Neil Warnock to manage Crystal Palace who left the position after the two fell out (SJ has form with former Crystal Palace managers falling out with him)when the club entered administration and who was the chairman and owner of the club,Simon Jordan.This is what SJ said beginning of the new season "Chris Wilder is the perfect manager and we'll see if second season syndrome comes in. I don't think it will. He's a breath of fresh air. I love his attitude. But they've got a challenge because of the expectations, very rarely do you ever satisfy the expectations of media and fans. Once you don't, you're in a different dynamic that people become disappointed and disillusioned". SJ's opinions etc are what a greasy chip butty is to haute cuisine.I'm sure there's a lot of validity to what the Prince has said but what we don't know is Chris Wilder's side to the whole affair.After we hear from him then Mr Jordan have your say

If I was a multi billionaire, I’d have Simon Jordan as the chairman of my club

A Dean Henderson TWO YEAR LOAN MADE Wilder Brexit Ball FC...

I want to drop my college. I demand a stable job and a good balance in my account. 😆

Sheff utd will not get a better manager than wilder

Talks crap Jordan at times says what he thinks which are rare in facts,,, he has bias towards owners of clubs. The Prince didn’t stand behind his guy he changed his job role and Wilder would not have that!

Comedy club. Back to League One soon enough. ✌️

Shock horror Jordan defends Middle Eastern billionaire owner rather than the hard working manager
