    Hundreds of Sheffield United football fans have held a protest against the appointment of Danny Wilson as manager.
    Chairman Kevin McCabe signed Mr Wilson on a
    three-year-contract. Mr Wilson managed and played for rival club,
    Sheffield Wednesday, in the 1990s.
    The fans gathered outside Bramall Lane stadium around midday
    on Friday. There were thought to be around 400 protestors taking part.
    Mr Wilson, 51, left his last post as manager at Swindon in March.
    One fan told BBC Radio Sheffield: "I hope McCabe is looking
    through his window so he can see that people aren't happy with the
    appointment.
    "It's crazy. I can't understand it. When I heard I was gobsmacked."
    Mr Wilson, a former Northern Ireland international, replaces
    Micky Adams who was sacked in the aftermath of the club's relegation to
    League One.

    He's what, 19? Why did they make him a manager, and does that mean he can still play for us?

    It's an odd appointment to say the least. Especially seen as he played a large part in Swindon's relegation. I can understand the fans anger at it but personally I wouldn't be that bothered, I certainly wouldn't protest, that just spells disaster for his entire reign.

    Hopefully he buys Paynter off us pray

    Signed a 3 year contract now, might aswell give him a chance rather than pay off 3 years worth of wages!

    It is quite a strange appointment. A bit like us appointing Walter Smith or something, I can see why they aren't happy.

    I know, but I meant it makes it even more strange considering that he hasn't even done a particularly good job at Swindon. Although he did get them to the play-off final last year. shifty
