Time to question Wilder.

Not quite sure how McCabe is to blame here. Or with Adkins or Clough.
We haven`t had a decent keeper since before Simmonson,a decent CH since Harry went, a half decent midfield enforcer since Monty/Doyle and a proper CF since Ched.

I don`t think any of that is in dispute,and I think most Blades would agree that we haven`t,and still don`t have a spine.
That is the managers remit and no-one elses.
Three managers have for reasons I can only attribute to hallugenagenic drugs felt that Long was a GK,we had enough at CB,CM and CF.
Whether Clough,Adkins and Wilder were all piss poor appointments is certainly something that McCabe is responsible for if indeed they were/are.
 
When we play a mid field with Bash, Scoooogle & Coutts (who are all not enough) then bring on Done (who is not good enough) on for Sharpe and McNulty 5 minutes from the end (what good is that!) - what do you expect!? + the D looked scared to death, passing piss poor and forwards not getting a snifty - it's a complete mess.

With all that Che money sloshing around & with Hammond, Woolford & Brayford off the payroll, should be PLENTY of room for incomings.

There can't be that much money available as what you think, Hammond and Woolford have been paid off and we're subsidising Brayford's wages so no there won't be "PLENTY".

So he should have kept the squad that finished 11th intact? None of those players were and still are not good enough, SUFC finishing in 11th is not acceptable therefore drastic changes had to be made.

Agree that 11th in L1 was unacceptable but Wilder has signed some right dross and made us even worse. I would take 11th now.

But If we can see it why can't they ?

you've answered yourself mate
 
You've got to question a manager, bringing players in which he admitted he didn't fully know their attitude & commitment, he said as much himself after the Southend game. Maybe the root cause is McCabe, but you've got to remember that it was him at the helm when we had our brief spell in the top flight 10 or so years ago, maybe slight confirmation bias knocking about here. All isn't well but there isn't a single root causing this effect. Poor management of the players we have, poor recruitment of sub-par players on their way down, very poor scouting and those making the decisions of who can come to the club. There must be more than just the manager involved with deciding whether players come in, in which case they're all responsible for the decay of the club.
 
Let's be fair - he's got some serious questions to answer.

- The season has been a car crash so far.
- We've not looked like winning
- The performances bar Bolton have been shite
- His signings havn't made the desired impact.
- tactics haven't been right.

Unless something changes soon, this is going to get seriously ugly. Big 10 days in the transfer market because there are some huge holes.

Too many out, too many in, its a brand new team. Do you give him time? Or do you change it sooner rather than later? We have an impatient board.

Give him time FFS, 6 new players at Kick off, many clamoured for new signings, well we have 9 (including the loanee), sometimes they gel quickly, mostly it takes time. Dingles were bottom in NOVEMBER, last season, look what happened there. Hull are top of the Prem, do you think they will win it? no chance. 42 games to go, give them time.
 
Agree but personally (and I'll get my tin hat on and won't argue with anyone because it's just my preference ) I would have preferred to give Adkins the opportunity to clear out and rebuild rather than any manager who has never managed higher than league 2 - and that's not a dig at the manager.
 
Hes not going anywhere and neither do i think he should. Clearly early results have been piss poor but it will change. It was better today after the shambles on Tuesday and the new lad in the sticks looks good. Two daft goals given away again today...you wont win if you keep giving soft goals away. Sort the defence out and we may start to edge a few games and get confidence back. If we are still losing every week after 12 games then i might start to get worried. Until then sit tight and ride it out.

We've sold Adams for £1.75m. Brought in O'Connell (200k?), Moore (let's say 400k, but it was probably less) and Clarke (140k ish) = £740. £1m profit (before sell on clause payment) on transfer fees alone this season. All other signings if I'm not mistaken have been frees, including 1 loan.

Remains to be seen whether the remaining Adams money will be spent, of course that is doubted. Doubtful that we will even break even on transfer fees alone.

Lack of budget this season has been evident enough, that's McCabe.

Its looking worse than bleak at the moment but its still only 4 games in, not all CW's signings such as Clarke and Fleck did Blades fans class as dross when they'd signed, and the team still haven't gelled yet.

His signings are the problem.

Even a new side should be performing better! Start Chapman ffs.

Moore decent debut by sounds of it.

Defence sounds appalling.

Billy poor?

It's ok calling Billy poor but the only time I heard Clarkes name was when Edwards was asking where he was

Doesn't matter how much money a manager has to spend, it has to be spent wisely.
 
At least David Weir tried to play good football. This has been appalling on every level, so far.

Still, early days.

Why will it get better? This is a shocking squad.

The performance at Bolton was overall shite and against 10 men in the end.

I hold McCabe responsible for why we are where we are,however,Clough,Adkins and Wilder all signed a number of players of their choosing,most of which have proved to be abysmal. That`s the part I don`t blame McCabe for.
