Chris Wilder thanks fans as Sheffield United is relegated after heavy defeat to Newcastle

Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder admitted the Blades’ capitulation was the story of their season. “Listen, we were teetering on the edge and obviously have been put to bed,” Wilder said. “Yet again, this season can be epitomised in terms of the game today. “First half, possibly Eddie will say his team was lethargic or not up to it; I would say that we were really good. We created some incredible chances and goals change the manner of a game.
