Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder insists he's happy to work with Jan van Winckel.
Van Winckel, who was appointed a United director before the dispute between Kevin McCabe and Prince Abdullah spilled into the public arena, has been a close confidant of the Saudi Arabian for over two decades.
Wilder said, "There was talk about improving certain aspects of the club. I know the angle (about) Jan. He has been a member of the board for sometime so he has, of course, been involved in the decisions. Anything to improve the club, I am open to.
"But I am a hands-on manager. In terms of Jan's expertise, it is there to be seen in terms of his track record. He has been involved in all of the decisions, recruitment and the like because he's on the board. I'm not pig headed enough to think I know everything."
