Wrexham will go down as one of the major winners from Ruben Selles\u2019 brief time in charge of Championship rivals Sheffield United.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Championship season is just over a month old, but we have already witnessed a sacking.<\/p>\n

Sheffield United have axed Ruben Selles after the Spaniard endured a dismal spell in charge at Bramall Lane.<\/p>\n

Phil Parkinson is under slight pressure at Wrexham<\/a>, but Selles has become the first Championship managerial exit of the season.<\/p>\n

The Blades seemingly aren\u2019t waiting around for a replacement, with The Telegraph<\/a> claiming that Chris Wilder will return to the club.<\/p>\n

Selles leaves with a torrid record of played five, lost five, scored one and conceded 12 in the Championship.<\/p>\n

Sacking Wilder to bring in Selles was a surprise decision in the first place, and Blades fans will now feel that the last few months have been a real waste of time.<\/p>\n

After a disappointing start to the EFL Championship campaign, Rub\u00e9n Sell\u00e9s has been relieved of his duties as manager.<\/p>\n

The board of directors wish to thank Mr Sell\u00e9s for his hard work.<\/p>\n

Wrexham can be considered winners from Selles\u2019 time at Bramall Lane, though, having raided the Blades for Kieffer Moore.<\/p>\n

Wilder signed Moore in 2024, and the Welshman bagged six goals in his debut season at Bramall Lane.<\/p>\n

That was perhaps a little disappointing, but Moore still played his part in reaching the play-off final.<\/p>\n

Selles came in and decided to sell Moore, paving the way for a \u00a32million move to Wrexham<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Blades have managed just one Championship goal since selling Moore, whereas the Welshman is now on fire at Wrexham<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Moore\u2019s goal against Queens Park Rangers on Saturday means he has now scored four goals in just five Championship games \u2013 just two goals short of his entire league tally at Sheffield United.<\/p>\n

Selles may have felt that Moore was not the right fit for his style of play, but Wrexham are benefiting massively from the striker\u2019s Sheffield United exit.<\/p>\n

Chris Wilder will be left ruing Kieffer Moore\u2019s move to Wrexham<\/strong><\/p>\n

Put simply, Wrexham\u2019s chances of signing Moore may have been much slimmer had Wilder remained in charge.<\/p>\n

Wilder praised Moore\u2019s move to Wrexham<\/a> over the summer, believing that he would fit into a \u2018direct\u2019 style of play under Parkinson.<\/p>\n

Wilder also suggested that Moore is a \u2018nice guy\u2019 who is \u2018doing a lot of things right\u2019 at Championship level, having enjoyed success at the top end of the pitch.<\/p>\n

\u201cGood signing for them\u2026 They\u2019re a direct football team, they show their quality, they play in the areas they want to, they\u2019ll play it up to Kieffer,\u201d said Wilder.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, it\u2019s going to cause problems for the Championship because it\u2019s not something the Championship will be used to on a regular basis. I don\u2019t see them struggling; I think they\u2019ll be really competitive.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s [Moore] a nice guy. Bournemouth, he got promoted; Ipswich, he got promoted, came very close with Sheffield United, that\u2019s not a given. He\u2019s doing a lot of things right,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Wilder now returns to Bramall Lane with Moore gone, all while he inherits a Blades side struggling for goals.<\/p>\n

Moore can\u2019t stop scoring right now, and Wrexham fans will certainly say a big thank you to Selles as he leaves his job in the Sheffield United dugout.<\/p>\n
