If you could get rid of only 1...

[Slim Man]

Of the following, who would it be?

Pretty self explanatory. All have been held somewhat responsible for our current situation but if you could only actually get rid of 1 who would it be?

(Hypothetical Sidenote: if you get rid of one of the owners the other takes full control)

Be interesting to see where the fans stand on this. Please don't let it descend into an argument - we all have our opinions and want the same thing. Someone else's view just because it's different isn't necessarily wrong.

McCabe.

Thankfully most of the players are going anyway.

UTB

 

[bertieblade]

Interesting theme been established here, in that the person with the power is held responsible. Seems appropriate!

He's taking the piss
He's taking the piss
Kevin McCabe
He's taking the piss.

 

[Alfreton14Blade]

McClueless.

 

[Slim Man]

Worth noting of the first 15 votes the Prince and his team haven't got any.
I'd agree with that.

I feel like they're willing to put money up, ala Baxter, Brayford, Done, Cuvelier - but aren't willing to if McCabe won't.
Also Jim is, although a bit of a joke at times, often there to front up. Proves their interest for me.
Where are the McCabes? Belgium, more than likely. I doubt they've seen a game this season.

EDIT: FFS. Just as I post! 16th vote in goes to the Prince

 

[sheffielder]

If you're looking for a McCabe to blame, don't Just look at Kevin. You need to look at one of the brothers who looks after the show now.

 

[sheffielder]

Can't make my mind up on the boy, changed it twice. Can't they all fuck off

 

[sitwell]

The Saudis ,little or no interest in the club as far as I can see.
McCabe is a Blade and this will be bothering him. He has made some bad mistakes ,I do think he gets too personal with the managers but he doesn't interfere with players and don't forget the money he has put in over the years. How many other clubs have retained a great stadium and actually given us probably the 2 managers most appealing at the time.
Adkins has been very poor so far and needs to make a good start with his own squad next season ,and play like we are in the 3rd division not try and emulate the tactics of Barcelona.
Most of the players are off anyway ,thank god ,from what I hear most don't give a shit ,for either Adkins or Sheff Utd so fuck off and enjoy your careers in the premier league.

Saudis for me.

 

[Esablade]

Only one constant out of that lot.
To be fair to him, he wants to leave and has been saying as much for years..to be even fairer to the fans he overvalues his stake in the club and won't leave because of all the many convoluted business issues tied in with SUFC.

 

[Dalelane01]

The tactics

 

[CarlMcBlade]

How about a drive-by shooting?

 

[Grecian2000]

Can I combine 3 and 4 and have Adkins Players?

Although in reality I'd go with a combo from 1 and 2 and "Whoever sacked Clough" would be first to get arse fucked by a large spikey instrument.

 

[derryblade]

Unfortunately getting rid of one component wouldn't cure our problems they all have a part in our deficiencies. Utopia would be getting rid of the lot and start again, that's unlikely, a good block of players will be gone in June so unless for some reason they are offered extensions that will come to pass. Unless the Prince packs it in and walks nothing will change at the top because KM wont go unless he gets a good wedge back. We all know the manager will be the sacrificial lamb, the question is even if the owners loosen the purse strings again do we think NA is the person to build a team for promotion or will he just land us with another crop of dross, personally I haven't got a clue.

 

[Smirth]

Wasn't part of the deal with the Saudis investing and acquiring half of the club for £1 on the basis that they'd be putting the money in for players?

If so, then I wouldn't blame McCabe for not investing more right now.

Tbf, when did our other 50% owner last come?

Could be wrong but can't recall him having been at all this season or last.

Joint owners who rarely ever attend games. What a farce.

Man Utd wasn't it ? cant understand why ,surely Bury away on a wet Tuesday night would be more important if you really love your investment ?

Saudis for me.

We weren't exactly pulling up trees before the Saudis came on board. I would prefer it if both the McCabe clan and the Saudis pissed off, as McCabe is either potless or doesn't want to put the required level of investment in on his own (his prerogative however I do think he has a responsibility to run the club as a going concern), the Saudis are disconnected/disinterested in the club on a day-to-day basis. To cap it off the whole co-ownership business appeared to be a clusterfuck waiting to happen; it was inevitable that at some point there would be disagreements about money.

I'm assuming McCabe because it seemed so reactionary, it stinks of McCabe's previous sackings.

Be careful what you wish for though ,especially going down the foreign money route ,at least McCabe has kept us at the Lane and recognisable as Sheffield United ,the Saudis have been quiet which may have been a good thing. What if Lee Fuck yoo, East Asian oil tycoon comes in with wads of cash ,builds a stadium in Renishaw called the Stadium Fuck yoo ,changes the nickname to the fuckers ,kit to a blue with white sleeves (like the Fuck yoo oil logo) ,buys a few French Dutch and African players and puts some Swedish tactical genius in charge. Will we still be Utd ,will we buggery ,would McCabe care ? Not with the money he is owed by Fuck yoo which he cant get back now oil has dipped even more and £800 season tickets on the Barlborough end aren't selling. Tits up in Renishaw ,sounds farcical but look around the leagues at Blackpool ,Bolton ,Portsmouth etc.

Perhaps what is happening at Bolton would have happened at SUFC had the Saudis not pitched up? Disinterested owner, club owes money (mainly to said owner), owner not interested/unwilling to keep putting money in to pay the day-to-day running costs.

 

[SwissBlade]

Collins, I'd get rid of Collins.

 

[I should coco]

Don't forget that McCabe was our saviour on the white horse after Mike Mcdonald, Charles Green and Bruno Whatsisface.

Be careful what you wish for and all that....

I would start with the head of the snake and work my way down ... I voted McCabe but the prince has a long way to redeem himself ...

 

[Deleted member 875]

He is not the Prince in my book. The prince is a deferential name. I'm not Saudi Arabian, I'm not one of his subjects, I'm not a British royalist but will still happily refer to the British Royal Family as Queen, Prince, and Princess. His royalty if fuck all to do with me. I'm not a subject of the Saudi Royal Family, I don't have to be deferential to them, and the regime they preside over makes them terrorist supporting scum as far as I'm concerned.

His name is Abdullah

Funny that, but I don't remember anyone protesting two years back when he was putting the money in.

Exactly my thoughts.

I'd rather watch us milling around league 2 with genuine people and genuine players at the club than have an ambitious Chinese billionaire who wants to take the soul out of our club.

If billionaire Lee Fuck Yoo became our Chairman, invested millions and put the prices up to £40-£50 then I would definitely be protesting.

You're totally correct. People dream of multi million foreign ownership but it's far from happy ever after.

It's all changed since those days.
He dos'nt give a fuck about our club anymore.
It's a salvage operation now for him
He'll milk us dry

I think you may agree but the majority wont. If I was a Man City fan I would rather be at Maine rd and playing in league 1 with players like Kevin Reeves and David White than in the Etihad with Mangala and Demichelis or is that just me ?
