Tried that. She has bricks stashed.
Kinky!

Football is the most emotional yet conversely the least important thing in my life. Lockdown seems to have weened me off the game and it’s more in prospective given the shit that’s hit us already and what’s to hit us yet.
I’ve had more interest in watching the championship games last few months than watching the PL mainly because we are not to PL standard under current owners and dare I say manager. He would have been best man to lead us in the Championship but if we got promoted and he was given the eye watering funds again would the outcome be different?
More of a worry for me after the poor ownership record of Woolhouse (was he ever caught?), Hinchcliffe (was he ever released?), Brearly, McDonald, McCabe and now HRH we look ready to repeat history, do it ont cheap and snatch defeat from the jaws of success.
...and then you hear the wife's door key in the lock.
I thought I'd actually be gutted when the day came, but I'm actually not that moved by today's activities tbh.
I've been a Wilder clapper since day one, I thinks that's obvious to all who've read my shit posts over the last 4 years, but I'm very "meh" about today.
I guess only time will tell if things work out better with Chris gone, but I'm half pissed off and half looking forwards to something different. It's not been the greatest season ever has it.
Being in my fifties I've been through worse than this, so I'm wary and optimistic at the same time.
My only real concern today is wondering if we'll keep JOC!
You've done a good job of describing the intangible reasons why similarly minded people feel almost nonchalant IMO - I love and mourn the normal Wilder era, but the bizarro world version seems like an unrelenting kick in the bollocksLockdown has really changed how I'd probably feel about this. I realise more than ever now that supporting Sheffield United is less about the success on the pitch and more about actually being there with the fans. This season hasn't been real to me and to be honest I just want to see my club again whether it be in The Premier League under Wilder or in League One under Megson. I want to feel like I'm part of the club and right now I just don't feel that which is why I'm fairly nonchalant about Wilder going.
Do I think it's a terrible move for us? Yes. Do I think we going to struggle to get back to The Premier League for years? Yes. Am I worried about where the club goes next? Yes
But it's not hit me anything like it would have if I was going to Leicester on Sunday. I wish I had the anger others have in a way but I don't. It's sad and for me it's a backwards move but to be honest I think it was coming to end anyway. I think we would have struggled to get top 6 next season with Wilder and he would have left before the season was out. I think our rise has simply caught up with us and it's fizzled out. To be honest I knew it was just around the corner. I think we all secretly did. We don't have a chairman with enough money to compete and no manager can carry on making miracles forever. For me The Wilder era was coming to an end no matter what and it's not really anybody's fault. It's not The Prince's fault he doesn't have the money and it's not Wilders fault his gambles haven't performed at the top level.
I'm quite relaxed about it all. I'm so happy I got to witness the best times in person and I don't think we will ever see them repeated in that way again. At the same time I've seen nothing from The Prince to suggest we are in danger of going the same way as Wednesday or anything. I think it's just hit a wall where one man believes we have to try a different road to bridge the gap from The Championship to The Premier League and the other doesn't agree with the plan. Cut aside the emotion and it's just two men who I believe want the best for the club having different ideas. One of them has a proven track record of success and the other is a total novice but let's see what happens. Who knows? It could be the making of us (it almost definitely won't be obviously but let's dream for a bit)

Haha. Those were good days. Still no idea why I was perma banned though. None of the admins had a clue either.
Weird place but some great memories.
Are you in his Club though? Offered out after midnight. Proper badge of honour
What was it now, staples car park?
Seems a lifetime ago.
The combination of VAR, which means you can never celebrate a goal, and no crowds/COVID has drained the life out of it.

Nice post Roy.
This day has been coming for a while. If not now then next season.
I wanted CW to stay but in my heart of hearts knew that we'd not get promoted next season. It would probably just have got increasingly antagonistic in the media, forums and in the stands.
I guess this ten game buffer allows us to take our time with the next manger and maybe even get them in with a couple of games to go so they can get used to the set up before the summer break.
I think we all kind of know that last season has been the bigh of this era.
Such a good post, you've caught the mood perfectly and summed up how things have developed. Pity about the " little old Sheffield United", inference though, even though it's probably true.Lockdown has really changed how I'd probably feel about this.

A man that has done absolutely nothing since he arrived apart from one good game vs Spurs last seasonKeeping Berge for me.
I have eyes and can see he’s a superb midfielder. That’s whyA man that has done absolutely nothing since he arrived apart from one good game vs Spurs last season
Yes, he is. However he's also a saleable asset with no championship experience. Id rather sell him and keep the others that got us hereI have eyes and can see he’s a superb midfielder. That’s why

Which is more than Lunny (or any other midfielder) has given us in the same time period thoughA man that has done absolutely nothing since he arrived apart from one good game vs Spurs last season
Yep agreed, other than his goal vs Southampton at the end of last season he's been woeful.Which is more than Lunny (or any other midfielder) has given us in the same time period though
Got us here as in two promotions in 3 seasons and nearly in Europe last.Here as in 14 points from 28 games? Why?
