Me neitherSorry Za, feller, I hadn't - until prompted by Blade56
I'm on twitter, but i'm not sad enough to follow the twitter accounts of everyone connected to the club, least of all somebody who i have no fucking idea what he does.

I'm on on Twitter and follow Baki but unfortunately don't know how to use Twitter![]()

Who exactly is Selahattin Baki. I mean I know who he is but, um, who is he?
C+Ped from Wikipedia (might be worth a thread on its own)
Business career
Baki is an advisor to Saudi Prince, Businessman and Billionaire Abdullah bin Musa'ed bin Abdulaziz Al Saud.[1] From May 2001 to May 2005, Baki worked in Sales and Marketing for 'Antoine Makzume', an international sea transportation company.[2] In March 2007 he was made an advisor to Prince Abdullah and in March in 2009, Baki took on the role of Sales and Marketing in Nanotechnology for 'Saudi Environmental Projects Company'.[2] In September 2013, Baki joined the board of Directors at Blades Leisure Ltd after Prince Abdullah bought at 50% share in Sheffield United;[3][4] Baki soon revealed plans for Sheffield United to establish business ties with Saudi club Al-Hilal FC and Turkish club Fenerbahçe.[5] In Summer 2014, Baki helped arrange a charity friendly match with Fenerbahçe to celebrate the 125th Anniversary of Sheffield United with money from the match going to help the victims of the Soma mine disaster in Turkey.[6][7] On 10 November 2014, Sheffield United announced that Baki had been appointed the club's International Football Co-ordinator with the duty to "utilise global contacts, assist in identifying overseas football talent opportunities and to bring in international sponsorships for the attention of the Club's management".[8][9]
Hooliganism accusations
Baki is a lifelong Fenerbahçe fan.[10] In Baki's early life, he was a football hooligan and a senior member of the notorious football firm associated with Fenerbahçe called 'Kill For You'.[11][12] In 2006 Baki was interviewed by Danny Dyer for TV documentary The Real Football Factories International. In the interview he boasted about "non-stop action" and stated that "sometimes knives start talking".[13] In November 2013, Sheffield United defended Baki's past with Sheffield United PLC Director James Phipps stating "The prince is aware that Mr Baki is a fervent supporter of Fenerbahce and that, in younger days, the fervency of his support may have overcome his better judgement... Indeed, Mr Baki has built a reputation as a well-regarded, law-abiding businessman and has earned his place as a trusted advisor to His Royal Highness".[14]
FWIW I really like what I've seen and heard from him.
So you think we would only sack Clough if we look like going down to League 2? Are you serious?
When asked on Twitter if he would see this season as progress or failure if we don't go up, Phipps said failure.
We have spent over £1m on one player for God sake! If your spending that kind of money then you expect some kind of return.
