Prince Abdullah lays out Wilder plans for Sheffield Utd

Sheffield United owner Prince Abdullah says manager Chris Wilder will be safe next season - even if relegated.

The pair fell out during Wilder's previous spell in charge.

Prince Abdullah explained to the Sheffield Star: "I know Chris and I said before, I have weaknesses but one thing about me I don't take things personally and as soon as Chris walked out the door I tried to repair the relationship with him.

"I knew it would take time but for me, I immediately turned the page. I met Chris many times, I knew he had the passion and he wanted to come back and now I think we made the right decision.

"If you look at the performance, even if we get relegated I still think we have hope and hopefully the player we have in January we will have more hope but even if we get relegated, we have a very good chance of getting promoted in the first year and we will give him every chance to achieve our goal which is to be in the Premier League next season or if we get relegated to bounce back quick."
