I disagree, any manager, be that in industry or in football is given a budget, not only that but in the real world he even has a say in setting said budget. If brown nose didn't get the full picture then what a poor manager he is, not necessarily a poor football manager, which coincidentally he is too, then he's just a poor manager in general. Lack of vision, lack of ambition, a weak and willing whipping boy for the chairman.
and if privately he was told he would get more or a different type of support and complained that it never materialised?
What does that make him? Can he win either way?
Who said he deliberately set out to ruin us? I think in all the criticisms, you're the first one to imply that just because we think the man's full of shit that he set out to deliberately drag us down. Maybe he lied to himself, maybe he lied to us, either way some of the crap that he tried to sell us proved to be just that, pie in the sky crap.
By saying that he is full of shit, are you not inferring that he's deliberately taking us for a ride?
I know you'll deny it but, your defence of McCabe is ongoing and please answer me this, do you find it strange that we have a marvelous stadium, a string of clubs dotted about here and there with good off the pitch potential, yet where it does matter as a football club we're in shit street. We have no young players coming through, we have no decent players in the squad and we have a manager who doesn't have a clue. Does that sound like a committed Blades fan to you or an astute business man?
I don't find it strange at all. He's taken the gamble of linking our club and its fortunes with the property industry, he's made this clear all along. This industry, along with many others, is suffering majorly
at the present. Meaning it is in a weaker position to achieve the desired aim of supporting us financially at the present time, when we need it more than ever.
He said himself what was going to happen, across football, we are now feeling it because our plans didn't come off at the right time (1 more premiership goal would have made a major difference).
This doesn't mean he's taken £Xmillion from the potential first team budget and spent it on buildings.
It also doesn't mean that it'll not make us a much stronger prospect in years to come, when we've weathered or put right our current issues.
I don't see how any of this raises questions about his allegience to the Blades? He's put in his own money (he now wants some of this back), he's put in his time and he's put in his reputation. He and his family watch the Blades, as did his old man, who's ashes are at the Lane.
How is he any less of a Blade than you or me? the only difference is he has the responsibility of the purse strings and all the abuse when it doesn't work out.
You can clearly question his decision making (he's made mistakes), which is obviously much easier to do from our side, but I see no reason to question his allegience or intentions.
No, not spiteful, just full of starry eyed dreams and also full of crap.
Scary stuff.....................but like I say, at least the ground looks lovely
Do we have a "lack of ambition" or "starry eyed dreams"?
Is it possible to have both?
