Is it not incredible that almost a fortnight since it was reported that Alan Knill is leaving Sheffield United in a coaching shake-up, not once has the club thought fit to confirm, deny or clarify what is happening? In the absence of any comment, United's American owners, COH Sports, and chief executive Stephen Bettis are displaying contempt for the fanbase and disrespect to Knill. A man who has played a significant role in a hugely successful managerial partnership during seven-and-a-half years at Bramall Lane. A man who has always been appreciated by United supporters.

Also, Tahith Chong, Chris Basham, United's transfer window outlook as well as a shocking admission from Chris Wilder.

SUMMARY:

• The prolonged silence from Sheffield United regarding Alan Knill's reported departure is disrespect toward both the Blades No2 and the fanbase.
