If Wilder is his "lapdog" it'd be a volte face from the his deportment and the relationship during his previous tenure. The question: has he had his wings clipped to get the job?! If the answer is "yes" the record of UW suggests we are in for a world of pain.

The only players on our books that can do the basic defensive role of a wing back/ full back are Baldock and RND. Both crocks. Injury probe Osborn is the other one that can give it a go niw and again.

The bottom line is that he had an immense squad of expensive, talented players and a budget United could only dream of and failed at a level no Blades boss ever has to get the best from them. His football was also poor, a total eyesore He was actually very lucky to fluke promotion after being...

After the Forest catastrophe 🤣

Yep, have thought that for some time. Doesn't track back or make a tackle.

No, why would you. The best he deserved was a small clap right at the start. The worst? Total silence or the same sort of stick every opposition player gets. There's this strange thing with United where players and managers who did well/decent with us get more stick than those that were shit...

I agree with the bulk of that. The 10-15 game bit is the bit I'd question. If the expectations are minimal why would they change? Fan expectation/pressure? I was optimistic about the recruitment after Anel. I knew the Lester link but ther was enough to cross your fingers and hope. Since then my...

Which bit(s) and why? Some of it is fact.

What are you asking exactly? If the question is did he cost 2m, my answer is I have no idea. It was probably a package that could potentially reach that figure if certain criteria were met. That's generarlly the way now. If you're asking who was responsible for the choice of keeper, I feel it...

United World are to blame. They have no record of recruitment success at multiple clubs. All the fans hate the recruitment at all the clubs. It's a consisten, undeniable pattern.The only success we've had at United over the last 20 years re recruitment is Wilder/Knill/Mitchell pre Premier...

Tbf hasn't had much choice in both circumstances. Maybe Peck is worth a run...

Has downed tools.

They're hoping Wilder can turn into Paul Daniels again now they've lost the cheque book. Tbf there's few managers with his record of performing the needed miracle.

The elephant in the room is United world. Their recruitment has been dog shit this season. I doubt Wilder or Hecky have much to do with it. The fans of all the teams are all unhappy with this aspect of the club. Wes is done and the club has spent a large amount of money on the replacement. It's...

Wes is finished. The club has signed Grbic so he will and maybe must be shop windowed. That's the long and short of it imo.

I knew him quite well in the 90s and early 2000s. We would play football on bit of grass on the Doctors estate in Aston. He lived in a bungalow behind the bit of a field behind my house. He'd come out to talk to us kids about football. Lovely bloke. It took many conversations before he...

Judging by our past acquisitions contact lengths, and the details of paid installments from Bettis in the last accounts ( he described the losses as mainly paper transactions from player installments/ promotion bonuses ) added to these latest revelations, I'd expect that most transfer monies...

Football highs and lows are basically down to who owns your club now. It isn't the average football fans fault that they've normalised spending all your income on transfer fees and wages - to the extent that you can bankrupt your club just competing on comparatively mediocre budgets with clubs...

I stll wonder why Khadra wasn't replaced when the manager said he wanted a replacement. Actually I don't 🤣

Is there legal precedent for this? Clubs being deducted points for delayed payments? Clubs deducted points for the same thing despite already being punished? Even then why are the points not deducted this season ? Is it due to the offence taking place in the Championship? I can't help but...

Wes has reached the point all keepers do where they start making regular routine errors. That doesn't take away from what he's done with us. If there was little prospect of renewing him on a short term deal in line with his diminishing status and advancing age the club were right to look for a...

We've been shocking all season. This is a none negotiable that any team expected to struggle at any level simply has to get right to even things up a little bit. Set pieces and fitness. I do think our attacking set pieces have improved somewhat. I was impressed by Arblaster's free kicks the...

Dunne one scored four goals in back to back games for us. No idea of the games unfortunately.

When Irish team played the Germans in 1939 he made sure that they didn't give the Nazi salute. Fascinating life ans incredible scoring record. A Blades/Sheffield connection would be his playing for Kiveton Parks's Herbert Chapman at Arsenal when they won the league...

The play off/play off esque concept has been trialled in other sports to limited success. The EIHL has a play off mirroring the NHL. It's nowhere near as well supported as the league. Steelers fans wouldn't swap the league title for it. The TMC/WTF in tennis has nowhere near the prestige of the...

We've been told we need to sell one player. What we haven't been told is whether that includes Archer. United's cost base will go down hugely anyway due to the wages going off the wage bill.

It's mad to write anything off at this stage imo. We're in a rebuilding stage but we have enough of the pieces to think we can give it a good go.

Goalkeepers: Grbic, Davies (third choice). One more option to really challenge for the number one spot. Left wing back: Osborn is a versatile option. It's imperative we sign at least one, preferably young left wingback, as Osborn is a stopgap.You don't want to be going into next summer...

United's fitness problems didn't start this season. We had a plethora of injuries last season. Most of them muscular, which suggests conditioning and load management issues. If you look at the injury record last season it was pretty miraculous to achieve promotion and a cup semi. If I was a...
