Your worst Blades take

[Tongeincheek]

After seeing plenty writing Jebbo off already, calling for a Ched return, and saying they’d sell Berge for 10 mil in January, its reminded me that we are all extremely wrong sometimes.

What opinion of yours about United has time taken the piss out of?

I’ll start with a couple of my own:
- Thought George Long was nailed on as a future England number 1.
- I was convinced that The Moose would fire us into Europe in the 2nd prem season, and in the end he only fired himself into Europe, propelled entirely by the power of his KFC-farts.

 

[mattbianco1]

Conor Dimaio would play for England.

This was after I watched his debut against Rotherham.

 

[Gin&Juice]

Not me. But when Steve Kabba was going through a purple patch, my dad thought he was as good or if not better than Saha at Man United. Can’t remember his exact words, but I know I told him to “simmer down” or something similar,

Think I won’t be alone on this one, but thought Wilder was like a rabbit in headlights after the Southend defeat and was convinced we’d be relegated to League 2 that season.

 

[Carlton Blade]

I still think Ryan Leonard is going to come good any day now

 

[WF10BLADE]

After we beat Newcastle in April 94 2-0 I predicted relegation wasn't an issue and Blake would fire us to a top half finish in the Prem the following year.

 

[MJM]

I said that Hecky would be out of a job in 12 months.

 

[Goodpinchofclough]

Diego was gonna be the next Del Piero

 

[YorkBlade]

I get a lot correct cos I'm great BUT I did believe that Jon Hunt would be a fantastic addition and told anyone who would listen.

 

[mattbianco1]

I still think Ryan Leonard is going to come good any day now

And Ricky Holmes

 

[Gin&Juice]

I get a lot correct cos I'm great BUT I did believe that Jon Hunt would be a fantastic addition and told anyone who would listen.

You never said that.

 

[Chezzy Blades]

A mate of mine branded Jordan Chapell as the second coming on Cristiano Ronaldo based on… actually I have no idea even now.

 

[Gaini Blade]

Diego was gonna be the next Del Piero

At least we got the part about him being a 'big name' right.

 

[Gin&Juice]

Was told Keith Quinn was the best of the Quinn’s and would be in the first team soonish. Never happened.

 

[Bristol Blade]

Having seen him play for Leeds, I thought Hulse was shite and was devastated when we signed him.

 

[Tongeincheek]

Conor Dimaio would play for England.

This was after I watched his debut against Rotherham.

I think he got snapped up super-quickly by the Irish youth teams, so he would have had to go down the Rice/Grealish “traitor” route to represent the 3 lions… also it goes without saying that he would have had to have been less crap.

 

[Iffy Onuora's Shiny Head]

1. I thought George Long was more likely to succeed than Harry Maguire
2. I still think Aaron Ramsdale will eventually get 'found out' at Arsenal
3. I thought Florent Cuvelier and Febian Brandy would fire us from league 1 to the Prem

 

[Wards]

I labelled Wilder as 'the second coming of Micky Adams' when we slumped to that 0-3 home defeat

 

[Bath Blade]

I told anyone who would listen that we were nailed on to get 100 points when Adkins was appointed.

I also said Jagielka would never make it as a footballer.

 

[JackSUFC]

Norwood was finished after that 2nd Premier League season.

 

[shorehamview]

I thought Lee Hendrie was a great signing, and I thought we’d blitz League One under Adkins.

 

[Half Bond Jls]

Wow that Oli Burke is fast, fancy West Brom swapping him for Robinson, he'll easily get us 20 goals with that pace.

 

[Blade for Sale]

I had everything crossed for David Weir to become our manager. And Dean Hammond was going to be a superb signing. I flagellate myself daily with a spiked chain as penance

 

[pommpey]

Norwood was finished after that 2nd Premier League season.

He was. Up to March this year he was still a bit bobbar.

No idea what the fuck has happened since.

pommpey

 

[Shirty Blade]

I thought Brewster would prove to be a fantastic signing and bang in the goals for fun!

 

[Bell4]

Thought Currie would be quite good

 

[Houston_Blade]

I didn’t want Adkins to get sacked because I was fed up of us sacking managers and managing to find even shitter ones as replacements.

 

[Ldn_Rd_Blades]

I thought Michael Higdon would come good once he was “match fit”

 

[BrayfordsBushyBeard]

I thought Bruno Ribeiro made us cosmopolitan and would be great , especially after WBA away ! Also thought a young Brian Deane was going to be a donkey !! Youthful stupidity!
As ever UTB !!

 

[Maidenhead]

I thought that the signing of Steve Finnieston in 1978 was so good that it would fire us to immediate success.

I later thought exactly the same about the signing of Alan Young.

How wrong could I be.

I've never bothered getting excited about new signings since those two great let downs.

 

[Le Cynique]

I suggested that Wilder was out of his depth in his first Championship season. Turns out I was quite wrong, and got some hammer about it on here

Has Wilder been found out?

Managing in the Sunday league, or in Leagues 1 and 2, is very different to managing in the Championship. Could it be that he simply hasn't got the chops - in either man management or transfer management terms - to manage a club of our size in the second tier? Did he think it would be as easy as...
