Sheffield Utd boss Chris Wilder: No compromise; the season must finish

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder says the Premier League season must finish.

Wilder insists even playing games at empty would be better than abandoning the campaign.

He told the Daily Mail: "At first, I didn't want to play the remaining games behind closed doors but my point of view now is that, if that is what it has to be in order to finish the season, then that is what it has to be.

"There's no compromise in this. We have to finish the season, however long it takes.

"The idea of freezing positions as they are now is not for me, even though you look at the table and think it wouldn't be a bad result for this club from a selfish point of view.

"Everyone will look at it from a selfish point of view and they have to come out of that. The Premier League season is a race. It is 38 games. No matter how many points somebody is ahead or how many points somebody is behind, it's sport and anything can happen."
