Sheffield Utd owner Prince Abdullah says Wilder has his full support

Sheffield United owner Prince Abdullah says manager Chris Wilder has his full support.

The Saudi prince, who won an 18-month-long legal battle with fellow co-owner Kevin McCabe over the club's ownership on Monday, says Sheffield United are "blessed" to have the Englishman in charge at Bramall Lane.

"I have a very good relationship with Chris," Prince Abdullah told Sky Sports News. "I know a good coach when I see one. Chris is a great coach. He is going to get better and he is getting better.

"For us I feel it is lucky that we found a coach like Chris. But in my philosophy and when you analyse why clubs are successful… big clubs are the clubs that have no personality above the club.

"There is no owner, coach or player above the club. We all work for the club.

"We are blessed to have Chris. We are going to support him and hopefully he can lead us to better and bigger things."
