Chris Wilder: Middlesbrough boss reaffirms commitment amid Burnley speculation

Boss Chris Wilder has reassured fans he is "all in" for the immediate future at Middlesbrough, despite speculation linking him with the Burnley vacancy.

Although the 54-year-old is keen to manage back in the Premier League, as he did with boyhood team Sheffield United, the aim is to do so with Boro.

Wilder took over with Boro 14th in the Championship in November, and has steered them into play-off contention.

"I've always been incredibly committed," Wilder told BBC Radio Tees.

"I'm all in, and as long as the chairman [Steve Gibson] knows that - and I get the close relationship from the supporters to the chairman - that's all anybody needs to be worried about.
