I like yo yosIf we are to be a yo-yo club between the PL and the Championship in the next few years then I would be happy enough as we have had only 7 seasons in the top flight since 1976.
Correct me if l am wrong are the erratic times not due to Covid. Pre Covid we had more standard times. Also l remember being at matches in the championship where Sky TV is F**King was being sung because of kick off times.I don't want us to go down, but the actual matchday experience around going to matches consistently at 3pm on a Saturday and on midweek evenings as opposed to watching us on Sky at 12:30 on a Sunday is better to do.

Completely agree with you.. I'm not even that bothered about going down. This virus has played a part on my opinion on that matter... I'd take playing in the championship and actually physically going to the games home and away, over watching this fake TV show we're watching at the minute in the premier league.I am honestly not that arsed. Ive hated the prem as much as I did last time. Its not proper football , diving , cheating VAR ,big time charlies ,glory hunting fans ,it was good last season to try the new stadiums ,but we seemed to be in London every week ,cost a fortune. One season down ,regroup ,enjoy the excitement and winning ,Colin Murray instead of that cunt Lineker , Saturday games. Not the end of the world.
Haha I forgot about him! It'd be great to have him back again.Well at least we'll have Benjamin Bloom to look forward to with our game analysis. Far superior to these crappy Premier TV pundits who are earning mega bucks in salaries and who talk out of their arses.

When I was a kid and went down to the Lane with my Dad he used to say ..." Money will spoil Football." He used to say a lot more as well, sounding off if we lost about how he stopped playing when he was better than " half of that lot.." but that was him just letting off steam.Don't get me wrong, of course I want us to be in the PL, receiving all the associated income / exposure etc. However, I also fucking hate the PL. The same 2 or 3 clubs fighting for the trophies; the same 5 or 6 clubs fighting for the Champions League; and the same 8 or 9 clubs hoping for the Europa League. Then you have 4 or 5 nowter clubs and the rest (3 plus the 3 promoted clubs) hoping to avoid relegation. By and large it is so predictable and quite frankly, boring. Even now I'd rather watch a Championship game on Sky rather than a PL game if it doesn't include us.
I much prefer the Championship for entertainment and genuine competition. I can't wait for next season. I don't think I've ever looked forward to a season more for years. Hopefully we will be there in person cheering on the mighty Blades.
This thread is the football equivalent of being dumped by a bird and trying to save face by telling your mates you dumped her.
There are literally no positives to relegation unless you love supporting a mediocre football club that constantly underachieves.
I just can’t imagine the majority of other Premier League club’s fans thinking this way at all. It just seems to be that once again Sheffielders see second best as some sort of badge of honour.
Of course there are things that will be a positive of going down....
No VAR, Saturday 3pm KOs, less diving/cheating, worldwide fans who actually have never even been to a game and biased one eyedmedua coverage etc BUT....
I am with YES Blade
Surely the whole point of Sport and Football is being the best you can. In my lifetime other than a 3/4 year period early 90s we have never established (not even sure we did then) ourselves as a top flight club. Indeed in the last 45 years we have spent 6 seasons up there and only 3 in the last 25 years.
Honestly don't care. Whilst football is no more than a TV show, who cares?

i dont prefer to be in the championship but whats the point being in a league where you cant compete financially and that is the premier league at this time until we can pay premier league salaries its just a waste of time i would sooner see us winning some games at a lower level than getting beat every week which is what is happening this season so i disagree with your post sorryl do not understand how any true supporter can say they prefer being in the championship rather than the prem. Every year the gap between the two divisions gets wider & wider. We are already at a point where we can barely compete in the top league even 1/2 seasons out of it makes it harder. I would much rather finish 17th in the prem every year even if it means we lose more than we win, then not be in it.
For the first time in my lifetime we have ambitious owners who will reinvest the money we make in to the infrastructure of the club that will make it a better club and once we have that in place i.e. training facilities, recruitment, brand awareness etc, we will be a better proposition for future investors and then slowly start improving league positions.
Finally this might get me some abuse, but l am not from Sheffield and as a Surrey boy mixing with fellow blades at matches my opinion is that blades from Sheffield are a very negative breed and almost brow beaten by everything and instead of enjoying the good times some supporters ( classic example- FMBlade) almost cant wait for it to go bad and take a perverse delight in it. Rant over.
Ancient nail on head it's about competing financially on on a more than even playing field, the PL as you say doesn't allow for this yes we've got money but nothing like the top 6. Being in the Premier League for us is like having champagne ideas and, brown ale pockets.i dont prefer to be in the championship but whats the point being in a league where you cant compete financially and that is the premier league at this time until we can pay premier league salaries its just a waste of time i would sooner see us winning some games at a lower level than getting beat every week which is what is happening this season so i disagree with your post sorry
Premiership football is great, all the suck ass shit that accompanies it makes me hate it. It’s all geared up for those in top 6.
The shite football influencer bollocks that’s getting thrown out there and ex footballers in turtle necks and loafers with no socks talking about potential transfers makes me vomit.
Any division PL or below, I want to be at a ground, home or away,Saturday at 3 and Tuesday at 7:45. To talk about players playing football not how much they cost and supporting a club that has an identity, not one that has more fans globally than the city they play footy in
Blind man on a galloping horse !!For me the term 'league' or 'division' should mean a collection of teams of a relatively equal standing, where any team can beat any other team, and finish anywhere come the end of the season. The Premier League is not a 'league' due to the wealth of certain clubs, and even a blind man on a galopping horse can predict 5 of the top 6 each season. I'd love it if the Premier League 'big boys' were to bugger off and join some European Super League.
The Championship is a proper league, and even with the shitty parachute payments skew is the most competitive in Europe. Roll on next season boys and girls, it's where our we belong according to our current wealth. UTB.
should be.................................at midnight. Yeah love these cliches.Blind man on a galloping horse !!
I haven’t heard that for years
the point is jj we havent got the money to improve sufficiently as you put it and until we have we cant survive in the modern day premier league no its not nice getting relegated from any decision and ive seen us relegated numerous times from different leagues but its not the end of the world i think we will come back up but if we dont maybe 2 or 3 years in the championship will stabilise us and give us some time to find new investors who can provide the financial clout you need to stay in the premier leagueThere are no benefits to going down whatsoever.
None, absolutely none.
Even fans of small League One or League Two clubs don't see any benefit whatsoever in getting relegated rather than improving sufficiently.
What the fuck is wrong with people from Sheffield ?
I mean seriously, what the fuck is wrong with them, the backward c@nts
I'm scratching my head as to how our fans are so confident of a quick return next season, I've been watching the blades 50odd years and can determine a good side from a bad one, this one this season as been a fucking disaster, and in my opinion half the team look so far out of there depth it's embarrasing, hopefully next season we can get back on track but history says different.Some people on this board felt that relegation in 2011 could be a good thing.
I think we can all agree it was not.
the last 3 top flight relegations have seen us take 14, 12 and 12 years to return to the top flight. In 2 of those spells we were relegated further in the interim.
Given the way this season has gone I don’t think anyone can be confident that our stay outside the PL will be a short one. It might be, but we might as easily turn into Birmingham or Derby. Or worse.
