CHRIS WILDER has cast doubt on his Sheffield United future after hinting at disagreements with owner Prince Abdullah.

The Blades are 15 points off safety and already have one eye on next season in the Championship.

But United boss Wilder admitted it was difficult to plan because “conversations” about the future “are not happening.”

He said: “We always plan short, medium and long term.

“But that plan is determined by other people than me, by the way. I’ve not had those conversations.

“I know what direction I want to take the club in, where it should be, but it’s not happening.”

Asked directly if he will still be at Bramall Lane next season, he said: “I don’t know.

“What will be will be. I want to stay, definitely, if we stick to the plan.

“As always, the plan was to leave a legacy, to change things off the pitch that need changing, stick with the players we’ve invested in, and then add a couple and try to bounce back.”

While Prince Abdullah may want to cash in on players in the wake of relegation, Wilder insists no player wants to leave.

He added: “I am confident I can keep the group together.

“I know the players better than anybody. They want to be here and they owe it to the club to be here. We gave them an opportunity.”
