To be fair Collins has been here 5 years and consistently been part of a team that's regressed. Not just his fault but needs binning.
We've gone backwards ever since Doyle and Collins were signed.
i know :-(

Only a joke mate.It's all down to Collins then is it?
So, we have 10 superstars who are all playing their bollocks off and Collins is fucking it up all on his own.
OK
He essentially gets paid oodles of quid to manage the Twitter account. I've no idea what else he does day to day but if he has any influence its not surprising we a) cant keep players - "hey its in Jamie's best interests he leaves" and b) cant fucking sign anyone.
I concur. Find the best players in the division and try and sign them. We'd be seen as a step up, presumably give them a pay rise without being held to ransom, they know the league and would be hoping to develop to play in the next one and bust a gut to get there.I really think wr need to stop buying or loaning old Prem or Championship reserve players. Theres a reason they are not selected for there clubs and most of the time they arrive not match fit.
We need to be targeting players from this division.
My thoughts on Phippsy are thus:As far as I understand he doesn't get a salary from the club, he gets a salary from the Prince which is separate from the club's accounts. He acts as the Prince's representative in other matters besides the Blades.
I wonder who told/sold them that ??Phipps and his cohorts have clearly come here with absolutely no knowledge of English football whatsoever and arrogantly thought that they could chuck a few million at the club and hey presto we'd be promoted.
They have no idea what they're doing.
Been trying to point that out for weeksI wonder who told/sold them that ??
Dear Jim,
I would like
Fix it for me Jim.
- An open training session once a week (they should all be in on Sundays when we don't win, so that will do). The players need to know that their lack of effort will have the consequences of having to face angry fans.
- An explanation, in plain English, of what Clough did wrong in terms of transfers. Not just you bad-mouthing him on Facebook. If he just took the cheque book and made signings without your knowledge, what the hell were you doing?
- A drinking ban during the football season (which can be relaxed on occasion at the managers discretion
- Actual figures of how much money has been spent by the Prince on the playing squad. Not wages, but fees. Making vague claims doesn't help anyone. A list of who owns what and rents the club has to pay, and to whom
- An clear explanation as to how our transfer business works, and who has the last say. You puts players forward etc.
Rodders, do you think there may be a link between THAT statement and the impression given yesterday that the players are demotivated?My thoughts on Phippsy are thus:
Pros
1 he seems a decent bloke
2 he's willing to engage and understands the need to win hearts and minds
Cons
1 He repeatedly states they don't know what they're doing. Once is quite endearing, all the bastard time is a little embarassing.
2 he's possibly too nice - how much really did they fight to keep Murphy? Did they treat him as an employee by allowing him to progress his career rather than as a footballer and get him to give us until the end of his current deal / even just one more season
3 Too willing to pander to halfwits on FB / Twitter. Its nice he's on there, but Jesus you'd have thought he'd reign it in a bit more. Plus with his lack of knowledge how much credence is he giving to these nobheads?
4 THAT statement. Christ on a bike don't tell the current players they're a sack of shit in public, nor say the division is diabolical.
5 Stop giving us all this "sit tight" bollocks. Its crap. We are all aware it's crap - in some situations its just better to say nothing. Again making a rod for his own back with the social media prescence.
All in all, the Cons currently outweigh the Pros. I think he probably needs to get football-savvy and quick if we're to keep players and also in his dealings with managers and their wishlists of players, but then we hear Adkins I all up for the transfer committee so mebbee it'll all turn out oreyt in the end..
He's meant to be approachable and always says you can ask him anything so why not take him up on your points, which are very good.
I tried asking him some stern questions last year and he blocked me on Facebook.
heh fucking riotous place i was in Budapest last week. i neglected to mention i was a Blade 'cos they're still a bit pissed about FerencvarosI'm in Hungary.
They were the exact same spineless cunts under cloughRodders, do you think there may be a link between THAT statement and the impression given yesterday that the players are demotivated?
My first thought was that they resent NA because some of them don't think Clough should have been sacked but I can't see how the hierarchy calling them shit is going to help. Perhaps they're demotivated by those above NA, just as it seemed the swine were under Strafford's regime.
I hope I'm wrong on this (and fortunately I often am).

That's what Jim does when he gets difficult to answer questions he only stays friends with happy clappers.He's meant to be approachable and always says you can ask him anything so why not take him up on your points, which are very good.
