How much of a difference would it make if all of our fans join together in blind loyalty for Wilder

[Woodwardfan]

Does anybody believe the fans of Iceland, Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland, Leicester City and others actually make a difference to their team's results? I do. They are examples of fans who are prepared to support their teams from start to finish, regardless of the state of the game. The Euros are like a festival and a one-off but actually Leicester fans carried their support right through their first season back in the Prem even when they were bottom of the league for so long. I think those clapper things helped it all along somehow.

Our new manager and the owners have expressed a wish for unity across the club. There is acknowledgement that we are dis-united after years of under achievement and mistakes at all levels. Our fans have been unbelievably loyal, turning up to games week in week out, 19000 hard core at home and regularly 1500/2000 at away games, sometimes more.

However, we all know there has been support in body but not in minds and there has been no belief apart from a few months under Clough. In those few months our fans started to believe and there was a bond with the players which made everybody walk taller on match days, smiles on faces rather than frowns.

From this low point can Wilder unify the club? Can we do it just for the sake of it or will the belief have to return first. When Leicester were bottom of the league I don't think the belief was still there but the support was.

Over these past 10 days or so, some members of this forum have demonstrated that they don't want unity and they seem to have a personal stake in United sinking even further.They revel in any day which passes without a new signing and make as many damaging posts as possible to chip away at McCabe. We all know who the usual suspects are, those who have been the most active recently.

McCabe is not going away yet. The quickest way for him to depart is for the club to have some success and become a more attractive proposition for a new investor, say higher regions of the Championship. Then McCabe can recover some of his money and leave the club in a reasonable state with some sort of legacy. Until he can recover some better value and leave the club in good shape, I reckon McCabe will go nowhere. I still think the prince could take full ownership when that stage is reached though.

United fans will turn up for Wilder who will have a honeymoon period when everybody gets behind the team. It will be hard for such a newly formed squad to maintain momentum but blind faith from the fans will help no end if it can become a habit. Blades fans have suffered more than most but can we drag ourselves out of the abyss even before the team does?

Is unity of purpose and full, unqualified backing of the team possible as per the Iceland, Irish x 2 and Leicester fans? blind commitment and pride? I'd love to start the season shouting and chanting in South Stand where it has only ever happened a few times in decades. Give us some clapper sticks United, even us old fogies will use them if everybody has them, and who knows we might even get up from our seats and start a South Stand Roar!! Any other ideas to get things going?

Is Unity possible before we are top of the league? Can we make a difference?

Footnote: No, it's not been the fans' fault, of course it hasn't.

No.. they cheer because they have something to cheer about. if we were top of the prem we'd make more noise than Leicester.. it is a chicken and egg thing. i think the team have to give the fans something to cheer about first whereas you think that the fans have to make the team play the poor dears which i don't agree with YMMV

[Bartleby]

I think from what he's said Wilder actually gets it - he understands our club and he understands why the fans got on the team's back a bit last season. It was a burden to some of them playing in front of such a large crowd that expected to see them put a shift in, and he won't tolerate that.

So to answer your question, while I don't personally hold with booing the team before the end of a game, I think it's unrealistic to expect unconditional happy clapping if a team is not putting the effort in, but I think under Wilder that won't be a problem.

Leicester happy not to get relegated , winning the premiership , no comparison.

League 1 shit time . Euros part time.

Give us a team that try's and the fans will give the backing. We actually don't ask for much .

Refreshing watching the footy on tele , because it ain't United .

On the rare occasions I saw Leicester and Palace on TV in the championship their supporters did seem to give unconditional support.

Maybe if we signed some black players too, that might make things better?

As far as I could tell, the Albanian fans supported their team in the same way and it didn't help them.

You know what would help? Good players and a good manager. The fans will respond to that. We can cheer all game and it won't make a damn bit of difference if the players aren't up to it.

 

[Revolution]

Martin O'Neill never tired of referring to our win there in 1996 when they smashed windows and booed him and the team.

They got promoted anyway.

It's easy to cheer if there's something to cheer.

 

[Tyler Durden]

What would happen if we went for blind adulation and zero awareness of reality?

We'd be Wednesdayites.

 

[The Crab]

I'd say the likes of Leicester, Rep of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Wales, are currently punching above their weight, that tends to encourage stronger support. If anyone thinks we are punching above our weight then they should stick two pencils up their nose and say "wibble".

The support and passion will be there, but it has to be earned as well. Too many times last season, some players looked like they just couldn't give a shite. If they care, we'll care and get behind them.

Our new manager and the owners have expressed a wish for unity across the club.

So, the old manager and board ... didn't?

There is acknowledgement that we are dis-united after years of under achievement and mistakes at all levels.

No shit, sherlock.

Our fans have been unbelievably loyal, turning up to games week in week out, 19000 hard core at home and regularly 1500/2000 at away games, sometimes more.

And 16000 have endorsed McCabe's shit once again, by sacking a fall guy and installing the latest victim. That's loyalty.

However, we all know there has been support in body but not in minds and there has been no belief apart from a few months under Clough. In those few months our fans started to believe and there was a bond with the players which made everybody walk taller on match days, smiles on faces rather than frowns.

Examine why that was. I will give you a starter for ten ... Connor Coady.

From this low point can Wilder unify the club? Can we do it just for the sake of it or will the belief have to return first. When Leicester were bottom of the league I don't think the belief was still there but the support was.

But the investment was. The ability to see where the team was failing in key areas, scout talent from home and abroad and find the correct reason to sack the manager and bring in a new style. So you are comparing, yeah? Where are WE doing that?

Over these past 10 days or so, some members of this forum have demonstrated that they don't want unity and they seem to have a personal stake in United sinking even further.They revel in any day which passes without a new signing and make as many damaging posts as possible to chip away at McCabe. We all know who the usual suspects are, those who have been the most active recently.

Here we go. The nub of the issue. People (like me) calling for McCabe to back the manager, or fuck off. And disagreeing with WWF. Crime of the century. Were we in the upper reaches of the Championship, you'd possibly have a point, WWF. But we are not.

McCabe is not going away yet. The quickest way for him to depart is for the club to have some success and become a more attractive proposition for a new investor, say higher regions of the Championship. Then McCabe can recover some of his money and leave the club in a reasonable state with some sort of legacy. Until he can recover some better value and leave the club in good shape, I reckon McCabe will go nowhere. I still think the prince could take full ownership when that stage is reached though.

So, McCabe IS in it to get a return on his money, which he says repeated manager have wasted on gash players? What about the talent we have sold? What about the Prince's investment? What about him effectively owning most of the club? What about the Tevez money?

United fans will turn up for Wilder who will have a honeymoon period when everybody gets behind the team. It will be hard for such a newly formed squad to maintain momentum but blind faith from the fans will help no end if it can become a habit. Blades fans have suffered more than most but can we drag ourselves out of the abyss even before the team does?

The answer to that is the season ticket sales and the first games at BDTBL, which will invariably be 20k+. But believe me, if despite Wilder's best efforts to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear fails, don't expect me to retain my composure and stop throwing this back at you. You have everything to lose here WWF. You did when you got all jizzy about Clough and similarly about Adkins. Both were failures and fall guys (as was Wilson, Weir et al). And the winner out of it is McCabe because he still has his football club and still has a sizeable amount in gate revenue to prop it up

Is unity of purpose and full, unqualified backing of the team possible as per the Iceland, Irish x 2 and Leicester fans? blind commitment and pride? I'd love to start the season shouting and chanting in South Stand where it has only ever happened a few times in decades. Give us some clapper sticks United, even us old fogies will use them if everybody has them, and who knows we might even get up from our seats and start a South Stand Roar!! Any other ideas to get things going?

The South Stand (and indeed the other sides) of BDTBL will roar when they have something to roar for. Losing to relegated teams isn't summat people want to spend 25 quid on to watch. That begets the talent out there which begets selling it before the transfer windows shut.

Which is what we ... sorry McCabe ... does.

Is Unity possible before we are top of the league? Can we make a difference?

Footnote: No, it's not been the fans' fault, of course it hasn't.

So your circular argument is "we should all get behind the team and manager (which I think no one has countered) because it might make the difference (when we had shitloads turn up last season to see us finish down the table)"?

Face it. We have depleted on field talent, thanks to selling players and replacing them with gash options. Now we have got rid of much of the gash options and are not even buying replacements for them.

Let me get my clapper stick out.

I haven't read that mills and boon novel, but that's exactly what we need to do, however I propose they do half the job on the pitch, and we'll finish it in the stands, just like we've always done... Utb

 

[Woodwardfan]

So? The principle still holds. You think they'd be cheering to the rafters if they had just, say, had a season like Villa?

I'm not talking about last season under Adkins. I'm talking about this coming season under Wider.

In my own mind I think we're getting towards 'last chance saloon' in more ways than one. Time for a bit of the siege mentality, Dunkirk Spirit or the like.

 

[Woodwardfan]

I think from what he's said Wilder actually gets it - he understands our club and he understands why the fans got on the team's back a bit last season. It was a burden to some of them playing in front of such a large crowd that expected to see them put a shift in, and he won't tolerate that.

So to answer your question, while I don't personally hold with booing the team before the end of a game, I think it's unrealistic to expect unconditional happy clapping if a team is not putting the effort in, but I think under Wilder that won't be a problem.

I agree we can assume the effort at least will be there under Wilder. If not we can all stay at home like a lot of the moaners on here do anyway.

Our club needs a wind of change and I don't see why we fans have to wait for everything to be served us on a plate before we grow some balls and back the team even if they are not winning. It will make the world of difference to the manager and his players if they can count on the fans to be 'on message' and on the same side.

Just imagine the boost to the players, particularly younger players, if the home crowd rallies them in the second half even when we are not playing that well and the game is not going to plan. Imagine the players who go to clap our away fans at the end of the game we've lost and get applause and nods instead of abuse. If the effort's there this season I'm hopeful we can do our bit, win or lose.

Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

I am not against Wilder. I think he, however is being basted with the same piss that Adkins and his predecessors were served up in.

I'd like McCabe to come out with some thing like this:

"I'll be straight with all United fans. We are broke. I know it seems incredulous but the sums add up and since we dropped from the Premiership, we have gone from bad to worse. I have presided over the club in that length of time and seen team managers come and team managers go. All have tried their best but their expectations in team reinforcing and building reflect the fans expectations and in honesty, I cannot match them. To do so would put this club at serious risk and I won't do that to Sheffield United. We have had money in, but unfortunately for one reason or another we have had to reassign that because of the throughput of failed managerial teams which I thought, mistakenly, would take this team up. I take responsibility for choosing those managers and for the failure in the outcomes. I am also responsible for selling the talent we once had to stave off crippling financial challenges and for steering managers toward more affordable options as replacements. Some of these have worked, many haven't, but at least we tried and our intent was always success for the club. I will not quit, nor will I lie any more about our chances, at least this season, of being promoted. If we are, that is a bonus. Right now we have jettisoned many players we all agree were not at the required standard and we continue, with depleting, meagre resources, to search and recruit talent from all areas of football. I ask all Unitedites to understand where their team is at the moment and to understand also that my vision remains to get them back to the upper divisions and to stay there and share success. If this takes five years then so be it. Please don't loose the faith."

Instead of this mea culpa of sorts and honesty, why are we all continuously, vainly waiting for good news in the belief that Wilder will fix it. He won't ... and he can't. He will simply do his best as a manger (like Clough did and Adkins) with what he has. If the pressure was lifted on the manager with some honesty from the chairman then maybe we'd all start to believe his bullshit, instead of continuously trying to second guess his intent. We aren't stupid. We've been with this club as supporters for life. We know when the closed season is looking shit (like now) and we know what August might bring, Especially as the opening game has 4-0 to them written all over it wit the current squad we have.

Honesty costs fuck all out of the clubs coffers.

Footnote: No, it's not been the fans' fault, of course it hasn't.

In the politest possible way, you're in dreamland. When the club starts giving supporters good reason for concern, criticism will be levelled and it will be warranted. You cannot change that, it will never change, it's how a support base is.
