Wilder told reporters last week that he has been frozen out of conversations at the club.
Asked if he will remain at the club next season, Wilder replied: “I don’t know.
“We always plan short, medium and long term, but that plan is determined by other people than me.
“I’ve not had those conversations. I think they should be happening, but they’re not happening.”
