That's why when the Prince joined the board McCabe said it changes everything.
Due to the new investment from the Prince we've been in the top 2 budgets every season in league 1.
"Both working class clubs" ?? Show me a football team that is not working class apart from Arsenal.

There's a lot of detail there; I trust McCall wouldn't invent things but:
Bradford & Rotherham just promoted from Lg 2 had higher budgets than United.
When the Prince bought his share, United's budget went up.
So within football it seems everybody knows everybody elses budget and when they change, very strange.
Have not heard the interview but as far as I am concerned he is a Blades legend. I remember when Warnock signed him at the age of 39 was it? I thought what is he doing the man is well past his sell by date but he went on to be part of that great midfield with Brown and Tonge. What a player, what a gent. I sincerely hope that he gets promotion with Bradford this season behind us.Just listened to part of his post match interview, what a gent, still loves us.
McCall didn't fancy the 'Transition'/ "5 year plan" which in due course Weir took on ( big budget cuts, use the kids ). We were told all that at the time but not many believed it - no more McCabe cheques, the club had to pay it's own way. Then "lo and behold" along came the prince and it was too late to get McCall but Clough popped up on the scene. All that new money wasted by Clough and Adkins. Wilder is working to a smaller budget than they both had.
Ha ha good oneIn fairness it's been said all along that we wouldn't spend big until we got promoted to the Championship. Let's all wait and see what happens if we go up.

ASD lighting is his companyBit sceptical that rotherham and Bradford had bigger budgets than us ( although Bradford earned plenty from their

big wage earners,in any case it's history now.
Stewart must have pumped millions into Rotherham for that to be the case,must be a rich man!! Anyone know how

The whole point was not what was on our books that summer but what the budget was for the following summer. Of course certain contracts had to work through but those players had to be replaced by youths or cheap signings.
It may be "history now" but it's exactly why McCall didn't think he could come back and why we couldn't recruit an experienced manager. Not only was there no money to spend but the manager had to slash wages costs. Weir believed he would be given time and then the prince arrived and the ball game changed.
So many on here had their heads in the sand, including Bladesway who battled me for months on this issue.
I wish the prince had not arrived and we would have gotten ourselves a Chris Wilder much earlier in the piece. I've always said that and it is so true.
