Sheffield Utd boss Wilder supports cash caps

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder would welcome some financial caps to the spending of clubs.

Wilder expects big spending to continue, despite financial concerns created by the coronavirus suspension.

He told the Sheffield Star: “I always look back at Portsmouth too, where I honestly believe the supporters have got to take some responsibility as well. Fans often shout we need to spend this and that or that this particular players has got to come in. Pompey was a great example.

“They got to Wembley two or three times when they were in the top-flight but everyone in football knew it wasn't built on stone and that they couldn't keep spending what they were spending. Then, in a heartbeat, they found themselves in League Two.

"I think most people knew that it wasn't sustainable but nobody asked any real questions at the time. They just went along with it. So evferyone has got to take responsibility for what happened."
