Chris Wilder is much loved by Sheffield United fans and his players
Wilder joined talkSPORT host Jim White on Friday to reflect on a historic week for United.
The Bramall Lane club’s promotion was confirmed last weekend when rivals Aston Villa and Leeds could only draw in a controversial game at Elland Road.
It caps a remarkable rise under Sheffield-born Wilder, who has taken his boyhood club from League One to the Premier League in just three seasons.
Sheffield United were dubbed ‘The new Crazy Gang’ by former player Kevin Gage after this video of their promotion celebrations went viral online
And they could still beat Norwich to the Championship title, which would put the cherry on what has been an outstanding season from Wilder’s team.
And the gaffer believes beating big-spending Villa and Leeds to promotion shows what you can achieve with ‘old fashioned’ management.
“It’s amazing for everybody connected to the football club,†Wilder told talkSPORT on Friday.
“Where it was three years ago and to turn it around in the time we’ve done it, it’s remarkable. Everybody at the club – staff, players and supporters – I’m delighted for them.
“It just shows what can be achieved through hard work, good recruitment, work on the training ground, togetherness and team spirit – the old fashioned stuff that was about a few years ago but has been overtaken by a cheque book mentality.â€

Eddie Howe and Bournemouth have been a huge source of inspiration for Wilder
Wilder is proud to join a number of fellow British managers in the Premier League next season, and revealed how Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe helped the Blues achieve their dream.
He added: “I’m ambitious and have always wanted to work at the highest possible standard that I could.
“I’m following people who I have enormous amount of respect for, Chris Hughton, Sean Dyche and Eddie Howe.
“Eddie, especially. We caught up with Bournemouth in pre-season two years ago and five or six of the boys who were playing in League One for them went onto play in the Premier League.
“We talked to our players and just said, ‘it can happen’. They were leading lights to give ourselves some inspiration in getting there.â€

Sheffield United fans have been treated to some great football this season
Wilder also sent a personal message to fans, telling the Bramall Lane faithful to ‘enjoy the ride’ of Premier League.
“We’ve given them a team they are proud to get behind,†said the boss.
“We’ve had a tough few years and this is not a glamour club, you have to stick by it through thick and thin, and hopefully this is a new beginning of success at the club.
“We know what we’re going into and we know how hard it’s going to be, and we’ll need their support more than ever.
“But enjoy the ride, and enjoy the summer being a Premier League club.â€
