MANAGER SACKED

[Alan Birchenall's hair]

I hear Darren Moore is unhappy at Hillsborough.....

 

[raimond]

Any one of:

Lowe, Warnock, Billy Sharp, Hecky, Ainsworth, Warne.

Someone cheap and desperate to manage at a bigger club than they're at now basically.

Give them no money and we'll be in League 1 and breaching FFP before we know it, can't wait.

Unless yes man Van Winckel is nailed on.

 

[BettingBlade]

Anyone who thinks Slab deserves the sack has got their head on upside down.

What exactly did the Prince expect when he’s only sanctioned loan signings? Absolutely bonkers.

For me this will turn the tide against the Prince. Was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt if he backed Slav in January but this is bonkers. Paying up a manager when we’re struggling for transfer funds as it is.

Bloke is a crackpot.

 

[MJM]

And just like that, the 'banter years' are back. Fuck sake.

 

[Belvedere Blade]

As per John Percy on Twitter, Jokanovic has held talks with the club this morning and the decision has been reached to part company despite the win at Reading

 

[bertieblade]

Heckingbottom or blessin

 

[232 Bramall Lane]

Not unhappy with this.
He'd had to revert to previous formation just to get results and obviously wouldn't be getting enough funds to completely change the squad to suit his preferred formation.
Hardly a basis for a long term strategy.
Found him uninspiring and almost unintelligible, unfortunately.
Ironic that it followed a win at last, but that seems to be a growing fashion.
Better now than later down the line.

 

[Eric_Brooks]

oh Blessin, has he been in the job enough time now to qualify?

 

[YorkBlade]

It's true. Replacement details will follow soon. This was all due to be announced before today, but when it wasn't I admit I was surprised it leaked as it did.

 

[Blade.com]

Maybe it will show us what the Prince is made of?. Has he got someone lined up?, was it his decision?, is there money available for the next manager? . Or was it a shock and he's up Shit Creek?.

 

[Houso]

Batshit.

 

[RecordBreakers]

Hes lined up for besiktas

 

[Living In a Fantasy World]

Embarrassing stuff, I have no idea what our future holds, I'm very concerned.

 

[Yogi]

Heckingbottom or blessin

Heckingbottom for at least the next few months we don’t do quick decisions.

 

[ZoneManWilf]

Mental.

Basket case of a club. Had 4 years believing that we'd broken the cycle, oh how wrong that was.

 

[Montymagic]

I guess if he's not going to get the funds to get who he wants then it was going to go tits up at some point anyway.

Meh

Monty in.

 

[Coily]

This would only make a little bit of sense if we had a legitimate, high-caliber replacement in place almost immediately, but when the likes of Warnock and Alex Neil are being mooted as possibles I can't help but think this is a bad bad move.

Not to say that I've been happy with the season so far, but if they thought SJ would turn us from Premier League no hopers to Championship winners with zero investment I can only suggest they are barmy.

 

[Bladedog]

It is a fuckin joke...and you know it'll only be a few months before some on here want the new guy sacked...end up like pigs.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Said in other posts in previous weeks that Slav wont have his back pissed on by the owners.

He has gone sooner than i thought he would.

 

[mattbianco1]

It's true. Replacement details will follow soon. This was all due to be announced before today, but when it wasn't I admit I was surprised it leaked as it did.

Are you saying the replacement is already lined up, Hal?

That can only mean Hecky

 

[Russ]

Poch says he's always liked us. If Man Ure don't pounce let's step in.

 

[Belvedere Blade]

Get Rooney from Derby. 4 ponts out of 6 again top 2 clubs in last 2 games

 

[Superblades]

It's true. Replacement details will follow soon. This was all due to be announced before today, but when it wasn't I admit I was surprised it leaked as it did.

I’m interested to see who the replacement will be. Hopefully it’s not a McCabe / Wilson sceanario and we appoint someone from within the club. If that happens, then I’ll start to question the Princes ability to move the club forwards.

 

[Rochdaleblade]

I wonder if they're considering appointing Heckingbottom based on those 3 wins at the end of last season. Would add up with no money in January and potentially using the younger players.

I would prefer this to Warnock, although neither option is palatable.
I'm not surprised the manager has left. It's easier to get rid of him than a dozen underperforming players. Surely this means that we have no money to spend although the timing of the sacking, coming after a win, indicates that it has been in the offing for a while, so maybe we have someone lined up. However, we all thought that in the summer and the manager hunt turned into a farce.

 

[ancientblade]

i think it was inevitable with results this set of players havent been playing for this guy imo anybody mentioned nuno yet

 

[Reyt Then]

And Sheffield United continue their orbit around the Championship... here comes the League One summer.

 

[RecordBreakers]

I'm glad he's gone, there's been no improvement what so ever since he came in. Hecky will get the job

 

[Jon P]

Can't see how a new manager gets anything different from these tired players.

Squad needs a refresh more than a new manager.

 

[CPB]

Are we going to get a Prince interview to follow up this departure about how he was right and Slav was wrong?

I mean lets be fair though we are not where we should or expected to be of course. And I do think we should be doing better even if it's just outside the top 6.
However little backing in summer, reckon it's little backing in Jan too. There could well be disagreements between manager and board again and hey presto we've got the same situation again?

It's true. Replacement details will follow soon. This was all due to be announced before today, but when it wasn't I admit I was surprised it leaked as it did.

Is the replacement sorted/in the works? Or will Hecky be at the wheel while we piss about for a few weeks working out our arses from our elbow?
