Blades to announce new manager

Taken from the Star

KEVIN Blackwell is expected to be confirmed as Sheffield United's permanent manager before Sunday's Championship fixture at Southampton.
Officials at Bramall Lane have announced they will hold a press conference to announce the appointment on Saturday; just hours before the first-team squad fly to St Mary's Stadium.

And The Star understands that Blackwell, who signed a short-term deal when he replaced Bryan Robson at the helm in February, learned his services were being retained during a meeting with the club's plc chairman Kevin McCabe in New York earlier this week.

United's statement read: "Sheffield United have called a media conference for 10am on Saturday, May 3 at Bramall Lane when the new team manager will be announced and introduced."

United can qualify for the Championship play-offs if they beat Southampton and then results elsewhere go their way.

Surely, you want to go up a couple places, after all the Blades are too professional to drop a game !!

You can watch their demise next year when you're waiting to come up and give us a game in the Prem
