That’s the best you’ve got?
Wilder
Oxford - Won Promotion from Confrence to Div 2 in 18 months
Northampton - Won promotion from Div 2 despite huge financial problems and players and staff not being paid.
Sheffield Utd (First Season) - Won Promotion from Div 1 to Championship with 100 points.
Sheffield Utd (second season) Won promotion to Premier League.
Sheffield Utd (third season) Finished 9th in Premier league despite lowest budget.
Sheffield Utd (fourth season) Relegated after a poor season.
Big Sam
Notts County 1997 - Promoted from Div 3
Bolton 2000 2000 - Promoted via play offs
West Ham 2012 - Promoted via play offs
West Brom - Relegated
Wilder already has more promotions than Big Sam in a much shorter career. Impressive CV if you ask me. Certainly no risk in giving Wilder the gig if you want automatic promotion.
