Friday’s night’s 5-0 hammering for Sheffield United at Ipswich Town sent shockwaves around the Championship.<\/p>\n
Last season’s beaten play-off finalists – a side still getting Premier League parachute money – have lost all five of their matches and sit bottom of the league, having scored just one goal and conceded 12. <\/p>\n
Is it time for new man Ruben Selles to be replaced by Chris Wilder – who he took over from in the summer? <\/p>\n
McLean: “It’s not only the results, but it’s the performance as well.<\/p>\n
“They were so well beaten by Ipswich and they just look like a team devoid of confidence – it was such a feeble attempt at a performance that I can’t see anything other than a change of manager.<\/p>\n
“I can totally understand why the rumour of Chris Wilder coming back is going around because he’s been there and done it, and obviously got them to the play-offs last season.<\/p>\n
“Yes, they just fell short, but a lot of those players are his players and maybe he’s the one who can get a tune out of them.<\/p>\n
“It just hasn’t worked out with Ruben Selles. That’s not to say he’s a bad manager, it’s just to say that he, the club and those players aren’t the right fit.<\/p>\n
“Sometimes you have to part ways sooner rather than later before it gets to the point where there is no chance of of them reviving the situation.<\/p>\n
“Five games in, it’s still salvageable. Seven, eight, nine, 10 games in, it’s not, so I expect there to be a change in the near future.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Friday’s night’s 5-0 hammering for Sheffield United at Ipswich Town sent shockwaves around the Championship.
