“Tarnished my view” – Simon Jordan reveals very honest opinion of Middlesbrough boss Chris Wilder

Chris Wilder has come in for some criticism from Simon Jordan via Talksport, with the pundit revealing that he feels the current Middlesbrough manager has ‘disappeared up his own backside.’

The Boro boss has managed to come in to the Riverside Stadium and has turned the club around, dragging them towards the play-offs in the second half of the campaign.

Whilst they have since fallen to ninth, they are still only three points away from sixth and have a game in hand on Sheffield United who occupy that spot currently too. It means that a top six push is still on – and if Wilder could get another team promoted, it would be a superb achievement for the manager.

He’s managed as much previously with Sheffield United, taking them from the depths of League One and all the way back into the Premier League. They eventually dropped back down to the second tier and Wilder left his post, but he is looking to emulate that feat with his new side.

Despite his achievements in the game and in the Football League so far though, it hasn’t led to him swerving all criticism and some harsh comments. That much has been made clear, with Simon Jordan on Talksport proving he isn’t that big of a fan of the current Middlesbrough boss.

That’s because he has claimed he ‘isn’t an admirer’ of Wilder and that despite once feeling that he was a good manager with a good attitude, that has since changed and his view has swayed.

Speaking about Wilder, he said: “I’m not an admirer of Chris Wilder.

“I was an admirer of his when he took them [Sheffield United] from League One into the Premier League and managed well and I loved his attitude and his disposition. But then I watched him when times got tough. I watched him when he started to read his own press,
