Sheffield United plc chairman Kevin McCabe believes the new management team of Bryan Robson and Brian Kidd is the ideal combination to take the Blades back into the Premier League.

The pair will be unveiled at a Tuesday morning press conference at Bramall Lane where they will replace Neil Warnock, who quit the club last week following their relegation from the top-flight.

Former West Brom and Middlesbrough boss Robson will lead the management team with Kidd acting as his number two.

"I believe the combination of great managerial experience and one of the best, top-class coaches - I think David Beckham said Brian Kidd was the best coach he had worked with - will help us return to the Premiership," McCabe told BBC Five Live.

Meanwhile, McCabe has suggested Warnock was the wrong man to lead the Blades in the Premier League.

The former manager left Bramall Lane after seven-and-a-half years with the club citing the need for a new challenge.

"Neil Warnock is a great motivator. We can reflect now maybe Neil Warnock wasn't quite right for our Premiership ambitions. But he gave it his all," admitted McCabe.

"The time had come for a change and now we are going to effect that."

When asked if he believed Warnock had made costly decisions last term, he added: "Everyone is a manager but I believe we should have got more points, yes."
