Woolfords interview, prior to Saturdays fixture at Fleetwood,
He said regarding CW: “The new manager, for whatever reason, decided on his second day in charge that I was not going to be part of his plans so I was straight on the transfer list and never got a chance to try and turn things around there. “From that point of view it was disappointing because on the back of a bad season I’d gone away in the summer, I’d grafted. I’d worked hard and I was ready to fight for my place and prove people wrong but I never got given that chance. “Pre-season from coming back really fit after the summer you kind of go backwards a little bit as the lads are getting the games, getting the football and the proper training. “I wasn’t getting that really so it was disappointing in that respect but again it is fuel for the fire and it just makes me more hungry to do well. “I was training on my own at times, I was left behind when the lads went on pre-season tour which I can understand because he’d made it clear I was not part of his plans. “On the other side of it, as I said to him (Wilder), it was disappointing that I never got chance to show him what he had there in front of him.” Woolford is not expecting a great reception from the Sheffield away following. He said: “I’m man enough to take that on board, whatever is thrown my way I’m ready to just get on with things if anything it will spur me on even more. “One of the big things actually is I gave the fans a thumbs up on the last game of the season and for some reason some of the fans thought that I had stuck two (fingers) up. “It was a thumb, I’ve told them that, but they don’t seem to be listening. But it is what it is and it is water off a duck’s back really.”
CW as a Blades fan will have already watched Woolford play and heard comments from other Blades fans about his performances, to have made a decision about him, as soon as he got the job. I'm surprised it took CW as long as two days to make a decision that he was to be made available for transfer. Woolford was brought in by a totally useless joke of a manager pal of Woolford's and he was only just edged out by Hammond, as the most disastrous signing Adkins made. He was lazy, overweight and slower than any other player I can ever remember playing for the Blades. He looked like a Sunday League player, suffering from a hangover, after 10 pints the night before.
Regarding the thumbs up the crowd incident, Woolford was substituted in the defeat to Scunthorpe, after another of his inept performances and was jeered by the crowd. He then gestured to the fans who helped pay his extortionate wages for a season, when he had contributed nothing that game or all season. Everyone who was there knows his gesture to the crowd was a sarcastic, disrespectful response to the fans reaction to his performances, yet this useless dog shit player attempts to justify this in his interview stating "IT WAS A THUMB, I'VE TOLD THEM THAT, BUT THEY DON'T SEEM TO BE LISTENING".
Good riddance I say, to one of the worst players ever to pull on the red and white shirt, although its really gutting that we had to pay him off, to get rid.
