Prince & McCabe: "We want Lionel Messi"

[Dronfield Blade]

See what they both have to say on promotion to the Championship, their hopes for next season & player recruitment (Messi is not interested) . The prince says "from our side we will do everthing we can"

 

[Grizzly blade]

I like it....serious points and a different side in show from the prince....even a bit of humour

 

[ElephantBlade]

I can't get sound at work. What's the general theme?

 

[UnitedBlade]

There you have it, top half next season. They haven't put a date on PL yet though.

ITK wannabe. Claims he knows what Messi thinks. Meh.

Haha cheers pal!

Season ticket sales push

When they've sold their quota we'll see Fleck, Coutts and Carruthers sold

Sounds positive. PL in one or two seasons and maybe even sooner. Prince saying he knows its dear but he's committed, that's exactly what we wanted to hear really.

 

[west_yorks_blade]

He said "think messi levels of investment"

I shall be disappointed if we don't land at least 3 South American internationals.

To pay for useless Dessos at the shit academy, etc. McCabe and BR Prince out !

One of them being Pedro Verde...

Prince:

• Hope’s it is only the start - committed to take team forward
• Premier league is where we want to be – do everything we can
• Very expensive to take team to premier league.
• Crowd is one of best things about the club.
• Already started thinking about next season months ago.

McCabe:

• Premier league may take a season or 2
• Player recruitment down to manager*
• Wilder great lad, great motivator and recruits well.
• Credit to Alan Knill.
• Confidence runs through club.
• Defined as a big club.
• Jokes of signing Messi.

* My personal favourite, trust in Chris Wilder.

 

[Mesut Özil's Lawnmower]

Very ambitious, I highly doubt we'll be able to lure Messi away from S6

 

[west_yorks_blade]

One of them being Pedro Verde...

Sabella and Maradona being the other two.

 

[NotFallowfieldBlade]

Very good interview , looks like solid investment but nothing mental sounds good to me UTB

They say they want messi but Chris is not so keen lol

 

[Sheffsteel]

It's just a standard pep talking re-affirming that both owners are still ambitious and
Will do everything in their powers to get us back in the PL.

Thought it was interesting that McCabe expects us to finish in the top half next season
But says it might take a season or 2 for us to get back into the PL

So they must be giving us decent financial backing if MCabe is being so positive
Or maybe they believe Wilder really is the Messiah and can work miracles.

 

[BushBlade]

'Chris is a well balanced lad'. Didn't look like it when he nearly fell off the bus.

Good to see the Prince laughing at the Messi comment.

Our luck's turned

 

[Dronfield Blade]

Apologies - I thought McCabe said Messi wasn't interested, turns out it is Wilder who is not interested in Messi....

I assume he prefers Ronaldo.

 

[BushBlade]

Prince 'we're very proud of our fans and want to give them something next season to be proud of'.

 

[bornablade]

Chris thinks he'll be a bit of a light weight down Eccy Road.

 

[snootyfenooty]

The thing I find most uplifting about this is that McCabe's got his mojo back. He's been trying to offload us for years and got half way there via the Prince. Sounds like he's caught the same bug as the rest of us.

 

[ballyblade]

Listening to that, it sounds like Ched is a definite Wilder signing....Nice to see the Prince so jovial

We're fked

 

[Boxer Blade]

I have been waiting for something from the Prince and McCabe, its come quicker than I expected and its a positive interview, no over the top promises but an interview that gives me confidence for the short and long term, I was hoping they would talk about where we are hoping to be this season, top half suits me fine, lets see what happens over the summer, lets keep the feel good factor going.

The proof will be in the pudding

As long as KM and the Prince support and back Wilder to the best of their ability then that's all we can ask. Then hopefully Wilder will make the most of it and show those w@nkers across the city that this league is the same as any other league and that a good squad with a top draw management team can be successful

 

[Kevincarterversion2.0]

I always take McCabe's predictions of where we will finish with a pinch of salt - given his European talk a decade or so ago. But it is nice to hear a positive school of thought, and ambitious talk.

Let's see what they can deliver in terms of signings/holding onto players.
