Lol Sean, think back to the Prince "fake account" where you had to admit you were wrong, I'm afraid it's another one of them.

Ben_1982 gets info. I doubt he really gives a fuck about whether you believe it or not though.

No fucks are given! Thought I'd share a bit of info, yes vaguely as I refuse to name names and drop my mate in it. But hey that makes me a liar- being called that is what I take offence to
 
Without getting into the he said / she said arguments if this figure of £65m is correct will this include money Kevin thinks are owed to him? Just thinking, the tuna man bought the piggies for £37m or is this purely down to real estate value of Bramall Lane?

If I believed every rumour that supposedly came from a board member and had a bet on it I'd be bankrupt.

If that's what one of the title but no power directors is saying it's no wonder this club is fucked.

You don't have to name names. It's well lnown which director can't keep his mouth shut to impress people.

Which board member is that?

I'd screen shot the convo but that would give away their name, and why the hell should I after how you've behaved. Here's a thought, if McCabe was offering a sensible asking price-do you think he'd still be here now

You can edit a screenshot so names aren't revealed. For example

How about semi-literate?

If KM got a fair offer, and one that protected SUFC (that's important to him, whether the agenda brigade like it or not) he'd sell tomorrow. Your 'mate' should know that....
 

Right, to everyone spending other peoples money. Time to put up or shut up.

There are probably about 9000 adults paying for a season ticket. for say £65m thats only £7300 each, then you will have to subsidise the club to the tune of shall we say £10m per year. That is a £1100 a year out lay.

Who's in?

At least when I buy a match ticket I can pretend my money is going on something useful and meaningful in the Club; if I took part in this I'd KNOW my money was going directly to those wankers wages.

On that basis, I'm out.

Another laughable post, how arrogant are you to tell the 50% owner that he must sell up.....

Sweetheart, sorry to enlighten you, but its not Aldi and you can't just tell people to get out if they're not buying. Last time i looked, SUFC had two owners and i'm guessing that you're not the Prince... so....

Have to say as much as I think McCabe is the issue the Prince does have his hands on some wedge. And we don't appear to see him gifting 10m to Wilder and saying go spend some dosh. In fact we don't hear fuck all from him at all.

I've always had an issue with this. Just because there is silence from the owners, doesn't mean that they aren't doing anything. Sometimes you have to look at what action has been taken by the owners:
-Appointed Wilder, Big change from previous manager.
-Back the clear out (paying off Hammond etc) as well as giving the remit to the manager to clear the decks.
-Supported the manager with transfers in. Big Signings being Clarke, Moore, Fleck

The problem is entirely on the pitch for me. Yes thats the managers problem and that of HIS players, but sometimes you have to have more patience even if that means sucking it up and accepting a bunch of bad results and performances.

Lost count of the total number in the clear out and recruitment, but we've had a huge turnover this summer.

How long do we give? Don't know to be honest. Wilder had a good record elsewhere (as did Clough and Adkins) and he needs to build the belief from the players and in the players.

But on this occasion, i don't think the owners are causing the problems on the pitch

Continually selling any player worth a few bob and not replacing with the same quality is a boardroom issue in my opinion. The strategy change on an annual basis is boardroom. The constant sacking of managers is certainly boardroom.

They aren't 100% to blame but you have to say in any company under 10 years of chronic failure with the same leader would effect a change at the top no?

If McCabe did not wish to lose £60m +, he should not have become involved with a football club.

Yeah fair enough, we can go back through history. But drawing a line on the past from the appointment of Wilder onwards, what have they done wrong?

We can of course spend our time deliberating the past and the failings, but at some point we have to look forwards and see what we are doing to put those wrongs, right.

Hello, HRH owns 50% of Blades Leisure Ltd which owns the club. Do you think he'll just walk away without his millions whileKev pockets £65m? Really?
Click to expand...

Erm...Princey owns 50% of Blades Leisure...which is pretty much worthless...as you've pointed out previously, McCabe's companies own the assets such as the ground, hotel, Shirecliffe etc...assets that were secured by the football club at the time I believe?

Why would Princey want anywhere near £65 million?
He might simply be happy to be released from the burden of chucking in every year...

Do you think the assets are worth £65m and the football club which is owned by BL has no value in any potential sale?

I haven't said HRH would want any amount of money let alone £65m so why you are asking me I have no idea.

You need to ask the person who knows all about it what the breakdown is and what happens to HRHs investment.
 
I am not ITK, never claim to be, although I know a couple of people who are semi ITK and have been told things in the past which came to fruition. Anyway, if KM wants £65M he will never get it, we all know that. Tommy Tuna bought SWFC for around half that and took over a solid, if unspectacular, Championship side. I heard some time ago, from one of my ITK pals that KM would accept around £35M as long as that was all up front, i.e. not staged payments.

We all get passionate and heated over SUFC because we are all 100% Blades on here, committed, but people shouldn't say KM should invest or go, as if he is going to do that. That's like saying your neighbour needs to do his house up, or sell it, because it looks shabby and makes the street look bad.

It's up to KM what he does, or does not do, with SUFC.

Actually, no. The company would be insolvent and wound up in all likelihood. Football doesn't quite fit the normal business model for the very reason that it's football and prudence often goes out of the window and emotions prevail.

Seriously, How would you effect this 'change at the top'. Ain't nobody in the queue, I'm afraid...
