Bout reyt. Prince takes over football club so McCabe improves ground and puts rent up £3 trillion per annum.

Ere get this for a plot twist prince takes full control and puts in mega coinage and it turns out McCabe was the bastard of the two all along. Either way long live Olivier Tebily

Anyway I’m not sure if this is general knowledge are not but I know somebody high up in the club and he told me two bits of info last night.

1) One of the middle stands is being made into two tiers. Plans are already underway.Can’t remember which one he said.

2) The Saudi Prince is going to be heavily involved going forward.

Not sure if this is already known but just sharing what I hear.

Also a few is 3 in my book, 2 is a couple therefore you may not have a like from me, sorry to be pedantic but there has to be rules otherwise it turns into a free for all and Foxy ends up with a right shot show on his hands

One would expect a club the size of SU to be back in the PL sooner rather than later though.

Would one?

I don't think one would expect us to be promoted any more than about ten other clubs in the division if size is the reason.

Yep, you would expect a club the size of United to get back to the top division sooner or later, just the same as those ten other clubs.

For what it’s worth I think it’s remarkable how many smaller clubs have got to the Prem and made a good fist of it, shoving out some of the more traditional bigger clubs in the process.

Not sure that’s what they had in mind when they set up the Premier League though.

Totally off topic but you're right. I'm sure the commercial men at the top 6 are looking at the likes of Brighton, Bournemouth & Huddersfield and wondering if their 'product' is being maximised effectively by having to play team like that at small grounds. I'm sure they'd much rather have Leeds, Villa, US!!! In there with big grounds full...

Probably why the whispers of a Euro Super League are surfacing again...

I've pondered the fact that so many so called "smaller" clubs have made it to the Prem too...

I was going with the theory that little southern clubs like Bournemouth and Brighton were more attractive to rich southern dwelling Jonny foreigners, and rich mardy arse footballers.

Burnley and Huddersfield sort of go against this theory...

Burnley’s fortunes changed the day they beat us in the play off final. They’ve managed to build on that ever since due to investing wisely.

We on the other hand....

Fact: Sheffield United have only won major trophies when Bramall Lane hosted cricket matches as well!

Another fact is the last time we won anything major was 1925. Cricket was played until 1973.

Sean. Think it all through. I hope to continue without any contact/ 'attention' from you.

I can do it. Can You? The Forum would not even notice.

All I can say is that I never/ever choose to comment on your posts unless you offend me.

As I have offered to you time and again in P.M's. Let's just avoid each other for the sake of the Forum.

SUFC matters more than your and my spats.

I'll copy itsinyerblood on this post.

Sorry. When you make self aggrandising claims that you can't actually back up because of your past record of missing the reality entirely, the weaknesses you've highlighted in my personality - as the moral guardian of our fan base rather than a personal attack, fellow Blade - I just can't help myself. Even if you do mistake taking the Mick for challenging your self believed quality poster status.

I mean, a poster asking twice to be left alone by you was ignored - until the forums biggest Ed Sheeran fan pointed out you were a snidy bully - and didn't even touch your radar.

No one wants your advice. Be told.

Burnley's fortunes changed the day they employed Dyche not beating us.

The poster who asked twice to be left alone has spent a large proportion of his posts attacking me for months.

I had him on 'ignore' along with you for months. Left him well alone.

That day he had written a dozen posts attacking me.

When he mentioned his bullying and abusive wife and his problems I p.m'd him straight away and said I would 'lay off' him, not that I would ever be abusive; the two posts of mine weren't even aggressive as you know. Remarkable situation but I am a 'good guy'.

The sooner this happens the better. Let them bugger off and make it clear that they're not allowed to play in any of our domestic competitions either & when it all goes tits up they have to start again below the likes of Clay Cross Town.

I would agree with your comments regarding Bournemouth and Huddersfield but Brighton's stadium holds just under 31k and they averaged over 30k this season and finished 12th in the Premier League attendance tables. This figure is more than our near neighbours have achieved in 50 years.
