Very soon the only thing bouncing at Hillsborough will be tuna mans cheques. If they dont get up this season, they could really be in some financial shit if he cuts funding.
Have they really paid £10 million for Rhodes? Crazy money for a Championship striker. Spunkin money them pigs.

8 million plus add ons apparently

 

[GRUMPY BLADE]

No kit
Crumbling stadium
Autocratic owner
No sponsors apart from subsidiary companies
Gaffer about to be sacked
Huge wage bill
Close to FFP limits
Lost to rivals
Fans in uproar
Rivals winning

Poor bastards

Had a call today off some Thai place, needed a new freezer room, got 26000 battered owls to store.

In all seriousness, that is some real bad business. Chequebook football management gone mad.

This one is really hurting judging by this and other posts




"
Maybe Tufty doesn't want big-money players because of the pressure it brings. If it goes pete tong at the Lane, he'll say "What do you expect with what I've had to work with?" "

It's not if Carlos plays to his strength. But at the moment Carlos can't even sort his sock drawer out.

14m including the loan fee from January...

They genuinely want Megson back. A man who hasnt managed since they sacked him because he's seen as a total joke to everyone in football outside of s6 and West Bromwich.

Really they want Wilder but realise they will have to settle for a 5th rate version of him

5th?

Tha reckons Megson is only four places behind Wilder in a competence league?

Think tha needs to do a graph and see the truth.

Class! These are the same people that 7 days ago were saying we were in for a wake up call.

 

[GRUMPY BLADE]

I keep at least one ridiculous post a month from there so I can look back at what they were blabbering on about and have a laugh.

This was September number 1:

Sardines RocketOwl, what a wanker

What are his strengths? I know in the past he was a prolific goal scorer, now appears to be just picking up the money. Dont get me wrong, we have a good history of wage thieves under Adkins. Thank goodness CW is sorting out that part of the problem.

 

[GRUMPY BLADE]

New party line update on Porktalk: "They're this year's Barnsley. Anybody worth anything will be sold in January and they'll slip down the league"

Weird how just two months ago none of our players had any value....

24 years of utter shite since beating us in the semi and all they have managed is spozzing a win against Hartlepool and two reasonable seasons in that time, have some sympathy.

Even worse lol

He needs balls in the box and we ain't supplying that.at Huddersfield he had Gary Roberts and Ben Marshall at Blackburn.

4.2 not spozzy.unless that was on Sunday

 

[GRUMPY BLADE]

Be the same cunts that said we'd have the smile wiped off our faces after we'd played them......
He was right...... It was replaced by full blown laughter,the bully boy having his face pasted by the quiet kid, so to speak....

Not seen one single pig shirt out and about since Sunday.

Lets hope Leeds do the same as us, beaten by both in the same week as well as dipping out to next to the bottom, how lovely.

I'll give you that one, to be fair you were playing against a better team than we were.

I never see any pig shirts where I live, or Blades shirts for that matter

Thought I saw loads today on the way to work then realised Ikea was opening across the road.

Actually, I want them both to lose on Sunday

Pray to god they bring back Megson.

Anybody think it might be Nigel Pearson?

 

[TC's Magic Boots]

Pearson just got a job in the Dutch 2nd division I believe. Owned by the people who have Leicester City.

 

[ucandomagic]

Anybody think it might be Nigel Pearson?

Yes - but it'll take Piggy P years to sort out the wage bill and shift out the overpaid fairies. Even Tufty would have taken 2 years!

Magic

 

[ScottBlade]

Not likely. Belgian 2nd division?!

As long he never wins one of these.

Lee did his best for us after that pigeon lover left. He didn't have the money like the owners have now to take us forward.

 

[B.Lade]

The penny has dropped for this little piggy. Can't read 'that ginger sh!te who stopped us bouncing' without a smile

From what I saw O'Connell, Fleck, Coutts and Brooks would all get in our team for starters. Then probably the right wing back as well, and that ginger sh!te who stopped us bouncing looked decent as well
I just don't understand how this can be the case - who the f**ck are they?? Where did they come from? Most of them didn't even cost any money FFS
We have to spend a fortune to assemble a reasonable squad, they spend nothing and make it look so easy. Got to say it's seriously grating on me
I'm starting to think we've really f**cked up massively in spending what we have on this squad

that has to be a blade on the wind up

 

[WILLIAM H BONNEY]

You got a link to it mate.

 

[speedymcgeady]

Hope not, he'd probably beat young Brooksy up for tying his defence in knots..

He won't be coming either mate.did a good job at Leicester city then failed at derby county. I'd like mick McCarthy as he wouldn't take any shit and sort the egos out immediately.
