Reality Check!

[Silky Sabella]

There have been endless discussions all day under different titled threads regarding the owners, the manager, players being sold, player's not being bought etc, but come 5.30pm on Saturday, there is only one thing that matters, and that is the current 11 players on the pitch, and so this post from Proper Blade is true and relevant beyond words (well said you )

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Yeah but if it was a choice between losing your bollocks or both arms you'd choose the first pair every day.

 

[shrubbery]

We have no idea who the 11 players on the pitch are going to be on Saturday… Both Hamer and Cooper may still be sold before then so I don’t really see what you are getting at.

 

[John Street West Terrace]

How does the poster know they’re not going to be sold also ?? Don’t recall anybody at the club or owners saying well either it was was this that ? ..Nowadays we are told very little from the club or from the new owners

Don’t count your chickens!

 

[Silky Sabella]

I would like to think that over the next 2 weeks there will be more players arriving at Bramall Lane than leaving

More kids from Bulgaria probably

 

[Matlock Blade]

I threw my season card in the bin on the first day of the transfer window because we hadn't signed anyone yet. Selles out! The owners out! Bring back Sam/antha!

Whichever option u choose, playing with ur bollocks would be a thing of the past. That’d be depressing

 

[Davalon]

Would you rather burn to death, or freeze to death?

 

[Matlock Blade]

Could we not just lose one bollock and one arm so we can still do things?

 

[ormester]

It worries me hamer and cooper will be gone replaced by rubbish lets be honest 13 m for Souza where’s it gone 7 and 2 m for the two players this week do 22 m bought in I think it’s 1 m spent unless we see quality we’re in for a tough season

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Freeze, definitely. Any excuse to avoid putting the heating on.

The owners don’t communicate, unless of course you include the website announcing a loan, a new sponsor, or a pre season match review

Or ai signing

 

[Blade58]

Or ai signing

7 directors and 8 months on and not one willing or able to communicate what their short/medium term plan is for improving the football club like they initially said was their aim

 

[Tony_Kaufman]

7 directors and 8 months on and not one willing or able to communicate what their short/medium term plan is for improving the football club like they initially said was their aim

They made a statement with their intentions when they bought the club, and they've made a further statement after the end of the season and when they hired Selles.

What do fans want from them, a calendar with a day by day plan of action?

They're no more quiet than the people the Prince put in charge. Bettis was the only one we heard from and that was seldom.

We heard nothing from the Prince during the shitshow Premier League season and the coward said nothing after it ended, other than comments about trying to sell the club.

Fans slate the new owners for lack of signings. When Hecky took over from Slav, the following summer he made one permanent signing. Anel. The only other players we signed were four loan signings. Hecky and the Prince faced less criticism than the meltdown drivel that's been on here this last week for exactly the same circumstances.

It's funny how some people conveniently forget things when it doesn't suit their narrative.

I could be wrong but didn’t PA do interviews when he took over, which admittedly wasn’t when he was absent during our disaster of a PL campaign. I’m sure he did a few with Hal?

New owners, 7 directors, is it really too much to ask one of them to elaborate on the new owners short and medium term club improvement plans seeing as they’ve announced their intention to do so on arrival 8 months ago?

I ran into the blades at Heage windmill and chopped misen in bits.
Selles aht!

Come on they have said nothing really sort from saying thank You and selling players replacing with nobodies

As the card would not work this season that was probably a sensible move.

 

[Tony_Kaufman]

We've only sold Anel and Souza. We haven't replaced Anel yet and we've replaced Souza with Soumare?

Are you writing off Soumare as a crap signing before he's even kicked a ball? Really? You're that narrow minded.

What is going on with this forum? Reading posts on here recently is like listening to a Trump MAGA rally. I don't know what's worse. The ill informed illogical garbage that gets posted, or people taking it for gospel, reacting to it and having a meltdown over it.

I've seen some stupid pre-seasons on this forum, but this last week has surpassed previous ones.

This is the last statement after Wembley (2 months ago), which makes the key aspects of their overall strategy pretty clear:

Message from the Board

We all wanted to see Sheffield United return to the Premier League as quickly as possible but it was not to be on this occasion.

I'm not really sure what else we need to know? If you're hoping for information on transfers, I think Selles is probably our best source and he's been clear interviews on what we want "quality over quantity".

I fully support your right to post whatever you like…but isn’t that rather rich coming from the ‘92 points is a myth’ guy?

"And yes we first need to get there, but once we are we want to end the cycle of boom and bust."

Ergo, not panic buy and spend for the sake of spending out of desperation.

 

[john Mathison]

Five loan players gone back. Anel, Souza, Moore sold, Brewster let go. 9 out, 3 loans in. So only 2 loans left for a matchday squad. 1 RB, 2CB, 1 RW and 1 Striker. If as stated, The Everton lad on loan as well, that leaves 1 loan spot. Money will have to be spent, or forget top two.

 

[Tony_Kaufman]

I fully support your right to post whatever you like…but isn’t that rather rich coming from the ‘92 points is a myth’ guy?

No, I stand by that. That was a post based on the way we played overall last season and how many wins we ground out undeservedly over the entire season, because the 92 points flattered us and made us look better than we actually were.

My point was that if we played another season the exact same way then I have no doubt that we'd fall short and not achieve 92 points again as we relied heavily on luck and wearing down teams and not beating them through quality. If Wilder was still in charge we would not reach 92 points this season. I'd bet any amount of money on that.

I don't know if we'll reach 92 points again this season. We have a new manager, new formation, new style of play, so I can't judge.

Yeah but if you keep your arms you can always play with someone else's bollocks.

That says fk all apart from the obvious.

Let’s have a director live interview with Hal and let them answer some relevant and pertinent questions regards their plans for our football club

Tell us what these improvements to every aspect of the football club are and what their expected timelines are. How about digressing on their plans for the HSBC site? (are there actually any? No mention in their correspondence) and the supposed investment to CAT 1 academy status at Shirecliffe. What they intend to do and how they intend to do it and finance it. Stadium improvement plans? Any apart from a standing area?

These owners have no obligation to sit interviews, but just try engaging with the supporters instead of hiding. Give the bed wetters some confidence that the club is indeed going to move in the right direction.
