CHRIS WILDER is favourite to replace Paul Heckingbottom as Sheffield United manager.<\/p>\n
That's according to bookmakers Coral, who've priced up potential replacements for Heckingbottom after a disastrous start to the Premier League season.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Blades suffered an embarrassing 8-0 annihilation against Newcastle at Bramall Lane on Sunday.<\/p>\n
It was the heaviest defeat in the club's history, and leaves them rock bottom of the division with just one point from their first six games back in the Premier League.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, Heckingbottom's record in the top division makes for grim reading having won just three of his 16 games as a Premier League manager, winning just three.<\/p>\n
Sky Sports claim the Sheffield United hierarchy have no immediate plans to sack their boss, who earned them promotion from the Championship under difficult circumstances.<\/p>\n
Asked whether he will be the manager for the next game, Heckingbottom said: "Yes, 100 per cent.<\/p>\n
"This might be a theme now by the looks of it. I can't answer any of that, the game, the players, my department, yeah no problem, but things like that you are asking the wrong man."<\/p>\n
Results will need to improve but that looks a difficult task with West Ham, Fulham, Manchester United and Arsenal coming up over the next four fixtures.<\/p>\n
If there is a change Chris Wilder is the 7\/4 leading contender to return to Bramall Lane, according to bookmakers Coral.<\/p>\n
