# Crystal Palace: Fans discuss Chris Wilder

**Several Crystal Palace fans have been discussing the possibility of Chris Wilder taking over from Roy Hodgson on social media.**

That’s because of reports on Friday morning, suggesting Wilder is set to be sacked by Sheffield United. [The Times’ Matt Lawton](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/sheffield-united-to-sack-chris-wilder-today-mrlcqzs0q) was one of the first to break the news just over 48 hours before the Blades’ trip to Leicester City. [Sky Sports later confirmed](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11683/12179560/chris-wilder-leaves-sheffield-united-with-club-bottom-of-premier-league-table) that the 53-year-old has left the Yorkshire club.

Wilder made the move to Bramall Lane from Northampton Town in [2016](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/sheffield-united-to-sack-chris-wilder-today-mrlcqzs0q) and led them from League One to the Premier League during that time.

It seems as if relegation back to the Championship is a formality, though, with United [13 points adrift of safety with 10 games of the season remaining](https://www.premierleague.com/tables).

The 53-year-old has taken charge of [227](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/chris-wilder/profil/trainer/15289) matches with the Blades, averaging [1.59 points per game](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/chris-wilder/profil/trainer/15289) during that time.

With the news circulating rapidly, these Palace fans all shared their views on Wilder on Twitter, with many split on whether or not he would be a good option to potentially replace the [sometimes-maligned](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/crystal-palace-news/crystal-palace-fans-fume-over-roy-hodgson-comments/) Hodgson.

**“I would have Wilder at Palace in a heartbeat But most of the rest of our fans would get sick of his football after three months“**

**“If Chris Wilder was genuinely wanted by some why were there no shouts to get him in before he was sacked?”**

**“If all true about Chris Wilder, I would love the South Yorkshire man at Crystal Palace (if Roy leaves) and please can he bring John Egan with him. Thanking you in advance“**

**“See a lot of people wanting Wilder at Palace. Personally, I still need another 5 years to mentally recover from the last time we played 3-5-2“**
