Sheffield United to sack Chris Wilder for second time with ex-Premier League boss leading contender to replace him
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CHRIS WILDER will be sacked as Sheffield United boss this week with Ruben Selles an early frontrunner to replace him. The Blades boss was stunned after being told he will lose his job at Bramall Lane despite leading them to a club-record 92 points haul in the Championship last season. 2 Chris Wilder will be sacked by Sheffield United Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 2 Ruben Selles is expected to be his replacement Credit: Getty Although they officially ended on 90 points, as two of them were docked for breaking EFL rules. But they had to settle for third after the two automatically promoted clubs Leeds and Burnley racked up a staggering 100 points. And despite cruising past Bristol City in the play-off semis, they were stunned by a comeback Sunderland win in the final at Wembley. The defeat means that the Blades have failed to gain promotion through the play-offs for the NINTH time READ MORE ON FOOTBALL GROUND TO A HALT Abandoned 34,500-seater stadium tipped to host Euro 2028 games lands £50m Selles, who worked wonders at Reading in League One but quit to help save Hull City from relegation last season, was sacked by the Tigers last month. But he has impressed the Blades hierarchy. The American owners want to go down an AI stats-driven recruitment process and although Wilder is open to using that as a tool he was not completely in agreement with that method. The club uses AI to scout players, and three players have been signed off the back of it. The latest player to be signed with AI is little-known star Ehije Ukaki from Bulgarian top-flight club Botev Plovdiv.

Neither of them has made an appearance for the club, but Caceres was on the bench for one game. Chris Wilder shows his disappointment on Sheffield United play-off agony Selles is seen as a huge gamble by fans as his record at Southampton after taking over from Nathan Jones in the Premier League was abysmal and his only Championship experience was his brief stint at Hull at the end of last season. Wilder is in his second spell in charge of the Blades, having won promotion from League One to the Premier League, where they finished a club-record ninth in 2020.

Pendo releases AI agent performance measurement tool
Pendo, the world's first software experience management platform, today announced Pendo Agent Analytics, a first-of-its-kind solution that gives companies visibility into how AI agents are performing. 0 Companies can leverage Pendo Agent Analytics in two powerful ways: To measure the performance of their digital workers like they would their employees and to measure adoption of their agentic software like they would their SaaS applications. As agents join org charts and product roadmaps across the enterprise, companies require systems to understand how agents work and to optimise their performance. IT teams need confidence that agents will act in compliance and improve productivity, and R&D teams must ensure that agents drive business outcomes for customers. According to the Forrester report Agentic AI Agents Are A Rare Sighting: 'We need transparency, data security and protection, controls and guardrails, and advanced monitoring before we see broad adoption of agentic systems.' Pendo Agent Analytics supports these functions with metrics and reports that track homegrown and third-party agent behaviour alongside usage of traditional software. With Pendo Agent Analytics, companies can answer questions like: 'Are people using my agents and how frequently?' What prompts are they using?' 'What do users do on my platform after an AI interaction?' And ultimately, 'Is this agent delivering value?' Pendo Agent Analytics includes functionality that: Tracks user behaviour across agents and traditional software to understand how workflows are changing; Provides insight into what people do before and after they interact with an agent; Analyses conversations with agents to determine prompt trends; Highlights non-compliant behaviour; Maps agent usage to task completion, helping companies measure the ROI of agentic AI; and Ensures safety, trust, and governance at every step - so companies can innovate confidently, knowing they have enterprise-grade monitoring and controls in place. 'The shift to intelligent software is happening faster than we could ever imagine, and enterprises are faced with improving their SaaS applications, while accelerating agent and AI innovation,' said Todd Olson, CEO and co-founder of Pendo. 'I'm proud that we are supporting customers wherever they are on their transformation journey.' Pendo announced the new offering during its inaugural Pendomonium X event in New York City, along with numerous product updates that help teams improve user onboarding, accelerate user success and cut support costs, increase upsell revenue, and drive team productivity.

Watch out, hallucinating Humphrey's about in Whitehall
I doubt that government officials consulted their AI tool, Humphrey, on what it should be called (UK government rollout of Humphrey AI tool raises fears about reliance on big tech, 15 June). It could have advised that in the 1970s the name was used for a milk marketing campaign: 'Watch out, there's a Humphrey about.' That line will now have a whole new meaning. Having spent the last few weeks voting in the Lords to try, in vain, to achieve protections for the creative industries from AI abuse, that meaning might be prophetic. On a personal level, my husband is angry that his name is being stolen MillerLiberal Democrat, House of Lords Your report (The 'death of creativity'? AI job fears stalk advertising industry, 9 June) quotes the chief executive of a big ad agency saying 'AI will disintermediate a large number of jobs'. I asked an AI tool to put this into plain English. Ten minutes later, it's still thinking about it.
