Why not? What difference would a 'formal announcement' make except to increase media activity?

You would think that if we don't want the bad press then we would go about it quietly. But we're Sheffield United ffs, we've had enough bad press over the years. Why would we be scared?

I've always thought the right approach was exactly that which the club has taken. Say nothing and bring him back as quietly and gradually as possible. It won't prevent mass hysteria of course, but why invite it? Moreover, as you say, let's not be dictated to by vile newspapers and hatchets.

Unfortunately some of us have a bizarre and constant need for 'statements' from the club.

The lowest form of statement obsessives mate, statement junkies. They scour the web for statements, it matters not whether it's the Palestinians, the Tea Party, or Scots Nationalists, a statement is a statement, it feeds that most peculiar of needs and soothes their fevered craving.

Just to add to that Pinchy ,i would rather hear nothing at all rather than listen to bullshit from the club anyway,that way assumptions are harder to come by.

He is not actually hiding in a bush .Fatty Samuels is trialing he always wanted to be a Blade's striker, he will be happy to sit on the bench as long as he is supplied with lots of pies.
 
I love the way Shireclife has turned into some sort of sacrosanct military grade HQ shrouded in secrecy in order to add provenance to the rumours peddled by the self proclaimed ITKs. It's developing Area 51 levels of intrigue when in reality its just a field with a fence around it.

Want to know if Ched is there? Take your dog for a walk and have a look.

Probably in his early days. It's all fenced off now.

Last time I had a good nosey round was in the Premiership year and the ice baths consisted of a wheelie bin full of cold water with a step ladder entry system! :)
 
I can remember playing snooker in there, watching the Atlas v Norfolk football match and seeing my mother home after a Saturday night's socialising when it belonged to firth browns. Ah memories.:)

My formative football years were spent there, did my apprenticeship at FB's and was in the 1st team at 17, Hatchard League, fuckin tough, learned quickly how to take care of myself in blokes football.
 
My father and Uncle worked in the Atlas Melting shop, Cousin in the office and me at 3/4 machine shops (which is now a waste paper recycling place). All in all about half the family worked for "Father Brown's" as we called it - at least the old sports club has been used for something worthwhile. :)

I think that's exactly how primitive it is at most clubs, but I'm guessing Man City, Chelsea etc have the walk through ice baths
 
I used to work up there - you do get to see a few things that would indeed put you "ITK" but it's no Cold War facility. Certainly not the place to spot secretive dealings or witness sensitive goings-on.
