As a club we are now clearly not waving but drowning in terms of survival and I wanted to say a couple of things before we disappear beneath the final tidal surge that this league has generated for us.
First up, seriously well done to you as you further establish yourself as a Premiership club. You have achieved what we never came close to this season in terms of coping with the difference in terms of strategy, planning, player quality, management and overall running of the club. I wish we had the same business and footballing acumen that you have clearly achieved over the last couple of years.
Second, I would like to say in relation to your fans’ comments and attitude, both as reported on our website by the legendary Roybgiv and as I heard on leaving the ‘Gtech Stadium’ yesterday I would like to say just f*** off and, when you get there, please just do us the favour of f****ing off again. Don’t get me wrong, I can deal with relegation, God knows I have experienced enough of them over my decades of supporting the Blades but your fans’ attitude really? I mean really?? They say if you sup with the devil, you need a long spoon - it’s a spoon you may end up choking on so just be wary when you deign to say we ‘aren’t worthy’ of being in the same league as you. Of course you should celebrate and even take the p*ss a bit as all fans do but be careful of contracting the Premiership delusion that being in the in the same league as you is an entitlement rather than an earned reward. Otherwise you are in danger of becoming becoming a bunch of jumped up wankers rather than a proper football club
We have indeed been rubbish this season. We have consistently put in a series of embarrassing performances over the year. But we are still Sheffield United and have a history of which we are and always will be proud. More importantly, we will be back. If you are still there, we look forward to meeting you again
