It is obvious that David Weir will be at the helm at BDTBL until Christmas at least and perhaps until the end of the season whatever the results.
I applauded his appointment as a move in the right direction, a footballer who should be able to make the step into management, a respected figure in the game that whilst not a superstar in the Bryan Robson mould as a player had played football for a long time at a reasonable level.
His initial performance has been nothing short of disastrous turning an ordinary side into a piss poor side, unable to motivate the players or the supporters, trotting out the same excuses week in week out, intransigent to the end by sticking to a style and formation that it is obvious we don't have the skill level, pace or speed of thought to execute!
We are currently third from bottom of a sh!te division now some 17 points behind the mighty Leyton Orient (managed by ex blade coach Russel Slade), 3 points above bottom placed Notts County ( the only side we have beaten this year) and behind Coventry City on goal average despite them not having a home ground, partly in administration and starting the season on -10 points.
It's a mess of the highest proportions, yet some of our clappers think it's a blip and we will be pushing for the play off come next April.
David Weir has a responsibility to the club, and it's supporters - we have put up with sh!t for the past 50 years with the occasional bright spot (odd promotions, semis, play offs) - usually they always ended in failure.
On Saturday Mr Weir we do not want to see replay of the last few sorry games where there is no heart, no passion and no commitment - we want to see 100% effort and fight!
And also Mr Weir, get your players and yourself to acknowledge the fans after the game win lose or draw - you owe that to the supporters at least
At present you come over as a first class TW*T, aloof and a couldn't care less what anyone else thinks attitude - you owe it to us to show that you care!
In your interviews you state that it hurts in the pit of your stomach when you lose - we've had that feeling for a long, long time Mr Weir - you're in a position to change it!
 



Its annoying that he doesnt even acknowledge the fans unless asked.
The same for the players. Yes they are upset so troop off after another loss. Something tells me that they dont come to the fans because they are scared of the reaction.
Grow some bollocks FFS Weir & the players.

I suspect he isn't as used to that feeling as we are and he probably thought it was a bout of indigestion to begin with.

Wait 'til he feels it lasting from Saturday 16:45 to 14:45 the following Saturday, when the sphincter begins to spasm - then he will begin to empathise with those of us who have been doing this a long, long time.

Do you really take it that seriously ?

I used to ! Now after the last few years of purgatory I am becoming less affected which saddens me !
I have been disillusioned by football (especially the Premier League) with obscene wages, player power and the media obsession with everything PL it is now spreading to my beloved Blades - I still give a shit which is more than Mr Weir and his staff & players appears to at this present time !
 
Sorry, I'm not agreeing with that - it's the biggest load of negative bollocks seen this week, and that's saying something.

Over the last ten years or so, we've prided ourselves as being supporters who don't give up when the shit hits the fan, and now almost every thread bangs on about Weir must go, how long do we give him, and "you come over as a twat".
Seven league games and people want to sack him - this after sacking a manager who had the best win ratio of any.

Perhaps we should consider the option that although the team is pretty poor at the moment, the supporters might actually not be as good as they think they are. If this article and all the others are a sample of what makes a Blade these days, we're Northern Premier at best.

Get a grip.

Totally agree. A panic by the Club and mirrored by a section of fans who demand absolute success without fail.

Look at us now.

I suspect the ones who are for sacking DW2 are the ones who will then say "... and get O'Neill in", despite recent history giving us Adams, Robson et al.

I think it's an age thing Cahers - Can't play now as wrecked my back playing football some 20+ years ago so you tend to live it vicariously instead - by that I am inferring that it is one more step to becoming Victor Meldrew. So the level of frustration just accumulates.

Actually, to be serious for a moment - it really does affect your mood from the weekend to the next in some small way. Every time I look in the rear view mirror and see the white rose and the seas cutlasses on the back window it wipes a smile from my face, should one have crept there for some strange reason. :D

You don't have to agree with anything - you're obviously happy watching your (our) side get the runaround from the likes of Rotherham, Carlisle, Mk Dons , Bradford and the like !
The difference between the supporters and the team at present is that the majority of supporters do give a shit and want the Blades to be competing at the highest possible level (Championship probably)
Forget seven league games Weir has been in charge all pre season still doesn't know his best side yet ! continues to play a style and formation that both doesn't create goal chances and a defence that is shipping goals in week by week.
You have it wrong, the supporters do care and are seriously worried where Weir is taking the Blades!

To be honest it affects me as well and I've got the old Blades badge on my car to boot. Most of my conversations are about the Blades and most of my time on the internet is Blades related. I'm just in a state of denial.
 
Looking back over my many years as a Blade supporter I seem to have lived in a perpetual world of jam tomorrow. unfortunately I'm still waiting ..
Even though the promise of a Liverpool type success has been offered I would in fact at my time of life settle for any kind of success, as long as they hurry it up a little please ...
But even if it never materialises I have to admit that the amazing thing is, over all in a masochistic sort of way, deep down I've enjoyed it...
UTB
 
I would only settle for a team of choir boys managed by a saint and owned by our lord jesus christ
