Sheffield Utd eye Oostende boss Alexander Blessin as Chris Wilder's replacement

SHEFFIELD UNITED have put Oostende boss Alexander Blessin on their list of possible replacements for Chris Wilder. The Premier League basement boys have had Under 23 chief Paul Heckingbottom i…

Just read that but saw this at the bottom

"SunSport also exclusively revealed on Wednesday that the Blades are also keeping tabs on Sean Dyche’s situation at Burnley."

Im also keeping tabs on Michelle keegans marital status if she suddenly becomes single again

Hoofwaffe ffs hahahaha

You laugh. Can't wait for the fans forum where a German manager gets asked about the war and Sheffield being heavily bombed!

Frank Lampard, John Terry, Wayne Bridge

at least some understand the cringe of some of our fanbase

 

[Sean Thornton]

What gave you the impression that he was rich?
The only folk that seem surprised are those who deluded themselves that he was a billionaire in the first place when it was never claimed .

He's not a billionaire? Why has no one ever mentioned this?

John Wayne. Terry Bridge

I’ve said elsewhere but it doesn’t make sense to roll the dice on a complete gamble. If we’d been sat in the Championship for 4-5 years again then yes I’d throw a curve ball and see what happens. Nothing to lose.

But the sensible approach is to use this short term opportunity with parachute payments to go after a proven manager with promotions on his CV. Give the money and budget to Jokanovic and say “Get us promotion this season”.

Admittedly we had no parachute payments but a CV like Adkins then ? Or even with the payments, Robson. Both had “the CV”

 

[ATL Recs]

My bad. Season ticket holder on the kop, gangway A, row NN seat 24. Have been on and off since I was 8. You need any more proof or you gonna have the mindset I'm a pig?

You don’t need to justify yourself as a blade because you have an opinion that doesn’t hold with our own at times deluded

 

[Rodley]

Robson was a busted flush. Adkins was the same and a poor fit for us.

I’m talking about getting the top manager available (Jokanovic), rather than one in a decline or taking a bigger gamble on someone unknown.

 

[Ron_Justice]

I think what's becoming plainly obvious is that prince Abdullah and his advisors have a wide knowledge of world football and sport ,think he knows his onion's .

And he sees United in a global sense, not a South Yorkshire one.

 

[MalmoBlade]

Likes his set pieces. Not too bothered about fancy build up. Hoofwaffe.

I'm in.

Have to say "Hoofwaffe" actually made me laugh out loud.

'Alexander Blessin est dans le viseur de Sheffield United pour succéder à Chris Wilder qui vient d'être remercié il y a quelques semaines, selon nos confrères de Het Nieuwsblad. Des pourparlers entre le technicien allemand âgé de 47 ans et le conseil d'administration de Sheffield United ont même déjà eu lieu. Cependant, il n'est pas encore certain que le coach d'Ostende devienne effectivement le nouvel entraîneur de l'équipe de Premier League. Il y a encore d'autres noms sur la liste des Blades'

Les bonnes performances du technicien allemand au KV Ostende ne sont pas passées inaperçues outre-Manche.

hopefully a benefit to us we've been insular for to long.

But what if he isn’t the top manager available?
He’s certainly looking like being the most expensive but what if this guy is better?
You just discount him?
I’m also not certain of his interest. If he wants to job why has every mention of it being attached with, “but he’ll have to be the best paid manager in the Championship”?
I get you have to pay for quality but for it to be a major point his reps are putting out makes it significant.

Can't take any credit - think I 'learned' it from someone on here

I reckon this makes it more unlikely. Probably just following his mate Jan's club on twitter. I doubt he's that much of a twat to start following us because he's going to be the next manager when Oostende are just about to face 3 massive games then probably play offs.

 

[Macfarlane21]

Had to check for myself...

 

[Gin&Juice]

Some of the replies to that haha, need someone to "steady the ship".

 

[SB_90]

from reading about he sounds good, the only issue is that this is his only season in charge of anyone. but he done well, oostende last 3 years 11th 14th 15th. weirdly he had the same start as wilder did in League 1 & Championship, was 2nd bottom after winless in the 1st 4 games. then has risen up the table to 4th

in a way prince will be more determined to get this right, because we all know how fickle fans are if we are doing a norwich next season then all the anger will be forgotten, if this bryan robson mk2 & we bomb. well its only going to get more toxic

Why are you obsessed with the assumption that Blessin is van Winckel’s mate?

Why are you assuming that they are mates? One is German. The other Belgian. Unlikely they are "mates" or have any sort of connection other than a professional one.

There is an ex manager of ours though that had a "mate" on Twitter that liked to stir up shit. And I'm not assuming that. It's a fact.

 

[LondonBlade89]

Anyone else now worried that Dean Smith will be sacked and he’ll end up at Villa?

It’s a bit akin to being asked by a yank (and yes it did happen before anyone asks) if I knew a Mrs Wilson in Plymouth when they found out I was English. Both live in Belgium ergo they’re best mates. Now they actually might know each other and may indeed be mates but it’s a bit 2+2=45 until we have something a bit more than they both live in Belgium a country of 11.5m people. Of course I understand the football community of Belgium is smaller before someone says.
Joking apart if Van Winkel does know him through Belgian football and has seen first hand his strengths and weaknesses then isn’t that the sort of planning and thorough research we all keep asking for?

People take the piss out of that pig for bowing in front of Chansiri but you just know there’s one Blade out there waiting to top it when we get a foreign manager.

 

[Davalon]

What

He's turned us down because he's only heard of S6 porcineday as they're massive in Deutschland

And probably another idiot angry at the board ready to give Blessin the Nazi salute

 

[ShropsBlade]

Unless he drinks pints of Henderson’s relish it will be a no from most supporters.

 

[ormester]

My concern this is a cheap option?

 

[Keef Chedwyn]

His team lost 2 nil to the bottom of the league today. He's trying to get sacked so he gets paid off then joins us. Lovely jubbly.
