Howard Wilkinson (born 13 November 1943) is an English former footballer and manager, and has recently stepped down as a non-executive Director at Sheffield Wednesday after previously relinquishing the chairman role to Milan Mandaric.
Despite having a low-profile playing career, Wilkinson embarked on a successful managerial career. He won the First Division championship in 1992 with Leeds United, the final season before the creation of the Premier League. To date, he remains the last English manager to win the top-flight league in England. He later had two spells as caretaker manager of the English national team.
His son Ben is a professional footballer, who most recently played for Boston United but is now unattached after being released from Boston.
"Things are tightening up a lot here. Wherever the race is, it's within the margin of error. This is now a much tighter race now."
"My point of view as chairman of the League Managers' Association is we would hope that English contenders for the position have got more than a head start."
"I relish the challenge ahead here at Sunderland. It is clear to me that this is a club with a proud tradition, huge and faithful support and in the Stadium of Light and academy, facilities that will be second to none."
"We are seeking a development that is better suited to an existing semi-rural neighborhood and in keeping with that. No one is saying there should be no development, but that development should be in keeping with the surrounding neighborhood."
"We have drawn a line under it. Our position on the matter is that the unfortunate incident is now finished and that of prime importance is England's success next summer. The LMA, and all our managers, will be doing our best to support the England team and the FA in pursuit of success in the World Cup."
"I think it would be a popular decision, but I don't think in the long term it's a good decision for what's best for England and English football. I think in the long term it sends out the wrong message from the Football Association to English coaches and the ramifications will be seen in the years ahead."
"The list of future England managers should not be left until one day after the current manager has disappeared. All of a sudden everyone's in panic, running round all over the place, sometimes not quite sure of what the credentials for the job are. It gets the next bloke off on a bad foot, and that is why the process should be more streamlined and easier than this - certainly it should be quicker."
"I am a firm believer that if you score one goal the other team have to score two to win."
