It seems as if there's an unwritten rule that only one Yorkshire representative may populate the Premier League per annum. Sheffield United will take their place in the big-time as the 2019/20 top-flight team from god’s own country. Promotion to the hallowed land, rich with television money, lucrative sponsorship deals and the right to be talked about every single day by football fanatics. This exposure alone heightens the club to new levels. This year Bramall Lane, next year the world.

How can Sheffield United ensure that this opportunity becomes more than a series of days out to the big clubs? How do they avoid relegation and become a meaningful Premier League team, unlike many other Yorkshire clubs who have come and gone relatively quickly in recent top-flight history? Especially given that three teams from the region have suffered Premier League relegation in as many years.

Ensuring that select Yorkshire citizens don’t suffer misery again will be something Chris Wilder must truly consider. His management portfolio is far from accustomed to the glory-ball he’s set to encounter. His ascendancy to manage Sheffield United went via Halifax Town, Oxford United, then Northampton Town. The terminus being Bramall Lane while parked in League One in the five-year bay.

Wilder's conquered League One and the Championship, but the Premier League is a void for teams who can’t adjust. There's no hacking, no chair shots to the face and nowhere to hide here. Feel free to count the teams who have come only to disappear quickly. Middlesbrough, Hull City and Huddersfield Town are perfect examples of Yorkshire sides which struggled to compete in the top flight.

Transfer business will undoubtedly be important for Wilder as he goes up against the titan spending of bigger clubs. Humdrum suggests that Sheffield United’s budget is around £20m. That sum won’t go far in the Premier League.

There’s also the looming contract expiry date fixated on United's Republic of Ireland international, David McGoldrick. The 31-year-old joined the club last year on a single-year contract. Fifteen goals in the promotion campaign ensured he quickly became a fan favourite at Bramall Lane. Transfermarkt suggests he hasn't been contractually attached since 30 June, but there are few media scoops reporting the story. Negotiations may be ongoing, as it would be careless to throw out such an instant success.

At his age, this may be McGoldrick's last chance in the top flight. As of July 2nd, there’s still no clarity on whether he’s re-signed or not. He continues to appear on the club's social media outlets.
