Would be nice for Jimbo to see us play in the Prem :)

Don't think he works for the Prince anymore could be wrong.

Nice bloke.

No I didn't think he did, I wasn't seriously expecting a response! He might however, reveal (like McCabe) if there are other backers/investors on the Prince's side if he wins the court case?!
 
From Jim

I have been reflecting on the Blades return home to the Premier League. There were never any guarantees, but as a Club we did it in six seasons (2013-2014 through 2018-2019) out of a hoped for or predicted five. (Of course, I am counting from when I first became involved.) I am so very happy we made it at all. The odds were always stacked against it in such a competitive environment. It has taken mountains of belief and graft on the part of all concerned (owners, managers, players and supporters) to get here. There were some happy days in the there and some truly miserable ones; but, in the end, all of those days take their meaning from these joyful days and from the bonds of friendship formed along the way. The thing all have hoped and worked for has come to pass. We are promoted to the top flight. Chuffed does not half cover it.

This.

I'll never forget the Saturday night in the Water Rats in Kings Cross before the Hull semi final. Jim and his missus were in there buying drinks for quite a few of us. I had a good chat with him about a number of things and he was quite touched when I bought them both a drink in return. A lovely bloke and he certainly didn't deserve some of the stick dished out to him.

If you're reading this Jim: we did it !! and I hope you are well.

He won't say anything about the court case. There's strict rules about that kind of thing.

If the hearing is open to the public, anyone can sit in court and listen, and report what is being said.
 
Had a fantastic interview with you Jim. Bought me and my dad a meal and everything also sat with Selhattin Baki who also joined us thanks for the expeirnce Jim! UTFB

Jim & Prince are out for me. McCabe gets the club, Prince gets a good pay out and big Chinese investment takes us to the next level.

This is the likely scenario. McCabe played it well with the Prince. Put up, or shut up. He didn't put up so now he'll shut up and move on.

Hello all, as some have rightly guessed, I am not talking about the case. It’s best to let the court case play out in court. Hope it gets resolved. I am confident we will be alright come what may.

Glad you’re still part of our family Jim, always good to hear from you. Hope you can make it to The Lane next season.
UTB.

Morning Jim, I wont ask you to comment on the case but in the hypothetical scenario where the Prince wins do you know if it is his intention to immediately put us up for sale and if so does he have a buyer in the wings? UTB

Regardless of outcome and what has gone before, I hope you come back to watch us next season. You seemed to genuinely embrace the blades, and did an excellent job of keeping us engaged. The vast majority of us will welcome you back as a supporter with open arms.

Hi Jim,

Good of you to reply and I understand your stance re: the court case.

Just wanted to wish you well and hope you get the chance to come back to the lane and watch us as a fan next season.

I hope your health worries are behind you now. Thanks for being so gracious when my son and I had the chance to meet you albeit briefly. He still has the badge you gave him :).

Little things make a big impression sometimes.

UTB
