Ruben Selles: Sheffield United boss says he has board’s support

Sheffield United head coach Ruben Selles says he has the support of the club’s board despite overseeing their worst start to a season for 30 years.

The Blades have lost all six games under the former Hull City boss and sit bottom of the Championship.

Their miserable start to the season reached a new low on Friday as they were thrashed 5-0 by Ipswich Town at Portman Road, with Jaden Philogene scoring a hat-trick as the Tractor Boys recorded their first win of the season.

Selles, 42, was bullish after the match and insisted there were positives to take from the performance.

“If you don’t win football matches your position is going to be discussed, not only for me but for every coach in the world. We have to keep working hard until the end,” he told Sky Sports.

“The owners have been supporting me until today. I haven’t spoken to them after the game. I’m not worried about that, I’m just worried about how we can do things better. I’m the first one to give pressure to myself.

“I believe in myself. I will always be in front of anything that has my name.

“We are not going to solve anything tonight but we have to analyse. The good thing about football is you have another game in seven days and it’s another opportunity.”
