[lawlessdan]

[dj_uk_1234]

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

 

[blade4lifexx]

bloody great i must say worse then manager we just had

 

[Bladesman]

I dont know i think we could get far worse.

Greame Souness for one.

 

[Come from away]

Whoever takes over as manager has a great base to work with thanks to another good manager. It's time to move forward and stop complaining about the past.

 

[Sensiblade]

He's not got a great record in the past but hopefully he's learned a few things from his past mistakes and won't make them again.
He will have my 100% backing and I hope he doesn't let us all down, I'm sure that is the one thing he doesn't want to do cos if he fails with us I can't see him managing again.
Get behind him and give the team all your support.
After all, We're all Blades aren't we?!

 

[silverfox]

Well Sky seem to think he's here..........

Very split on the Sky vote for 'Is Robson the man to lead the blades to promotion' question.
54% = No

 

[silverfox]

Sky are reporting we will have a press conference Tuesday.

 

[dingledog]

Things were bad and then they got worse, I am very disappointed if this is true, I'll stay 100% Blade but truly believe this will not turn out to be the best appointment ever.

Of the list of probables only Dalglish gave me any optimism.

The past 7 and a half years with Sir Neil I have loved, it's the future I am wary about if BR takes over. If he does sign to be new manager I will be highly disappointed.

Very split on the Sky vote for 'Is Robson the man to lead the blades to promotion' question.

This has now gone to 57% fella, and I believe if this many blades are against the decision then the board should be looking at appointing another manager.

NEWELL FOR BLADES

 

[matth]

Absolutely gutted. What kind of forward thinking board have we got? Even if he does manage to get us into the Prem, he's not got the greatest in there has he? Would have much preferred Dalglish.

 

[jodman]

My overriding hope for this season is to see some good football being played by Sheffield United for the first time in a very long time.

I was ambivalent in the pro / anti Warnock campaign that kicked off following our relegation but whilst you cannot knock the effort and spirit of Neil’s teams over the year, we have at no point under his stewardship been pleasing on the eye.

Of course, winning games is the most important thing but our lack of creativity / inability to keep the ball has (in my opinion) led to our relegation and is one of the major reasons it took so long to get to the premiership in the first place.

Robson is a graduate from a very strong Manchester United side that played great football (captain no less) and is regarded as a hero by their fans. He is also a former England Captain, has played in world cups and has won the majority of domestic honours.

He had an exceptional spell at Middlesborough followed by some difficult times towards the end and went on to keep West Brom up in miraculous circumstances.

He also led them to relegation ad struggled to follow up with a successful campaign to get them back up, hopefully he will have learned lessons from this experience and can bring those lessons to the job.

Kidd is a top class coach and assistant, hopefully he can give Robbo the kind of guidance that he was missing during his early managerial career. He knows the team, the staff and the club and is perfectly placed to ease Robbo into the new job.

There are downsides to Robson but there are downsides to every available manager.

I for one will be behind him. Having lambasted the signings of Hulse and CKR I have learned that to judge people before they have been given a chance ends up making you look a fool in the majority of cases.

Up the blades.

 

[Linz]

The West Brom fans are finding this hilarious...
