Chairman's statement on the Heckingbottom appointment

[Bladesman]

could be worse, could still have McCabe hey?

They are both equally shit at this point.

 

[pedro]

He has never been chairman so far as I'm aware. Certainly hasn't been for some considerable time.

Owner, yes.

correct

 

[Rodley]

PaddysMad

post of the year?

 

[bladesmanluke]

"I don't care, I'm not from Sheffield"

The only bit of truth in this whole press conference

 

[Mendi]

Bizarre call made on him as manager.

 

[Living In a Fantasy World]

More and more I read about everything going on the worse I am feeling, dark times ahead I really do fear.

 

[nopigfansintown]

If the Prince has got any sense, of which I'm beginning to highly doubt, he'll sell up now whilst there's still value in the club.

If he waits 18 months until we're floating around the basement of the championship he'll have to take a loss.

I think this is part of a larger exit strategy on his part. Player sales next I would predict.

If he had any sense he'd have sold us in the Premier League.

Are Netflix looking for a joke club to replace Sunderland?

 

[john Mathison]

Blatantly obvious, the cost of Slav going, has removed our transfer budget( if there ever was one) Typical McCabe style, cheap option Hecky, as no there manager worth his salt would even entertain this . The only plan now is to survive in Championship this season.
At the end of the day, our players have not performed, they must now accept responsibility. What concerns me now , is can we keep MGW for the season, the others can go for me.

 

[blades14]

They want heckingbottom to blood some youngsters, then sell them for big money e.g jebbison and ndiaye so he can spend it on his 'United World'

At least with Kevin McCabe we knew there wasn't any money but with PA thought there might be some we'll just see what happens could be better than we all predict or think
UTB

 

[Yogi]

Fuck them all. Wankers. They better get ready for the shit storm that will be brewing very soon!!

Won’t affect them they’ve told us today we won’t see or hear from them again.

PA just seems like a Saudi version of McCabe at this point.

McCabe didn't hide he still came to the majority of matches

Might be harsh on McCabe if things continue in this afternoons fashion.

not really. PA has just left you a shit sandwich and is yet to remind you it was him who guaranteed the money for mcburnie. I think that press conference tops anything McCabe did?

 

[Kev Gee]

Won’t affect them they’ve told us today we won’t see or hear from them again.

I'm not so sure.
If things turn toxic, then PAs hopes of selling the club (or United world) on for a profit will quickly evaporate. Businessmen don't like to see there money going up in smoke. FWIW I reckon PA is looking for an exit strategy, and will now be putting next to nothing into the club until he finds a buyer.

You forget who thought it was a smart move to bring PA on board and try to get him to cover the losses. Then manage to legally fuck himself over and lose the club.

 

[blades14]

Chris Wilder.... i guess you were right

It's already very harsh. McCabe invested on infrastructure for the good of the club. Spent a shit ton of money on the football side that the club didn't generate. He spent badly for the most part, but he doesn't deserve comparison with this shower. We haven't seen nothing yet by the way. It's either new ownership or very dark days ahead.

 

[bromtom]

What a day.

Yesterday we were just an underperforming championship club with a few questions about investment levels this January.

Today we've completely shit ourselves in public, sacked the manager, hired the bloke who wasn't good enough 6 months ago, and the owner has potentially been strongarmed into stepping back by his nation's government.

Sheffield United, eh

 

[Eric_Brooks]

yeh and the man who brought wilder in. What did PA actually do?

 

[Bladesince59]

We were fucked before today.

 

[ZoneManWilf]

Kinnell, this smells awful

 

[Brewster Cost Millions]

No matter what's gone on surely it can't top what big kev did,yeah the Prince is a cunt but at least he's not from Sheffield and a born blade,some of the comments are laughable saying rather Mcabe than PA

 

[Rufus Smalls]

From the heights of The Premiership, to all this bollox …… in just 2 years. Frightening !

 

[guancheblade]

They are both equally shit at this point.

The Prince is in sole charge BECAUSE of McCabe. Let that sink in

 

[ekke287]

Chris Wilder.... i guess you were right

Nope, sorry. This doesn’t let CW off the hook for the recruitment that has financially shafted us.

It’s easy to see why there’s no money and a reluctance to find more considering g the return on considerable investment.

Appointing Hecky means we’re now blooding young talent to aim for finincial stability, so we’re now likely to be a championship team at best for the new few years I’d say.

£400m investment? where's he got that from?
