'We have to finish the season, however long it takes': Sheffield Utd boss Wilder wants to see out current campaign

Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder hopes the season could be finished, even if it means playing behind the closed doors.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, the 52-year-old said: "At first, I didn't want to play the remaining games behind closed doors but my point of view now is that, if that is what it has to be in order to finish the season, then that is what it has to be. 

"There's no compromise in this. We have to finish the season, however long it takes. The idea of freezing positions as they are now is not for me, even though you look at the table and think it wouldn't be a bad result for this club.

"Everyone will look at it from a selfish point of view and they have to come out of that. The Premier League season is a race. It is 38 games. No matter how many points somebody is ahead, it's sport and anything can happen."

It looks as if Wilder wants to leapfrog Chelsea and finish high up the table - something Lampard's team will never consent to. According to a recent report from The Telegraph, the Premier League plan to resume all football starting June 1.
