S24SU is in the grip of an unprecedented civil war, between the Ched-Haves and Ched-Nots. The Ched-Haves believe that a 29 year old striker who has a lower goals per game ratio than Dean Hammond is the key to Sheffield United's timely return to the Premier League. The Ched-Nots disagree.
Such is their fervent adoration of a forward who has made 13 appearances and scored no goals this season, the Ched-Haves are demanding a public apology be made by Jessica Ennis-Hill, who committed what Ched-Haves consider to be the most heinous of crimes - Believing in the decision of an unbiased jury. The Ched-Nots do not agree with this position.
Jessica Ennis-Hill, who is an olympic gold medallist, a favoured daughter of Sheffield and a national treasure, has so far declined the opportunity to apologise, thus causing an enormous furore in the Church Of Chedwyn. Threads have been made. Brows have been furrowed. Feathers have been ruffled. The Ched-Nots have tried to point out that Ched Evans' poor form and terrible goal scoring record render him unsuitable for first team selection. The Ched-Haves maintain that Sheffield United should "just give him a chance" and that he "needs a pre-season before he's fully fit" in spite of the fact that next pre-season will be his 3rd since returning to professional football. The two positions are irreconcilable, and so a bloody and brutal war rages between the two factions, brothers against brothers, fathers against sons, friends against friends, with seemingly no end in sight.
Meanwhile, Sheffield United put in a good showing for their first season back in the Championship, just missing out on the play-offs by a couple of points. A Ched-Have thread titled "Ched Should Have Started Today" posted immediately after the final game of the season, claiming that the lack of faith in his ability led directly to Sheffield United's failure to finish in the top 6, runs to 17 pages. 4 posters are banned.
