Chris Wilder is fighting for his job at Sheffield United today.

The Daily Mail says Wilder is locked in talks about his impending departure from Sheffield United on Friday morning and is expected to be gone by the end of the day.

Tensions between Wilder and the club's owner Abdullah bin Musa'ad bin Abdulaziz Al Saud have reached a point of no return.

The manager's deteriorating relationship with his boyhood club has got so bad this season that he and the club first held talks over his departure back in January. At that stage both parties stepped back from the brink.

However the relationship between Wilder and the club's board have only got worse since then.

Indeed the League Managers' Association have been aware that they were about to be asked to mediate for weeks. Wilder and the club are expected to come to a mutual consent agreement for his exit.

A compensation package was agreed on Thursday night, with details being finalised on Friday morning.
