I think you're clearly aiming this at the wrong person, which is no surprise as you have a long track record of making up crap as you go along. I defended the previous manager perhaps far longer than I should have. I've even given the ownership the benefit of the doubt on more than one occasion. My criticisms have been aimed squarely at Clough and his legacy because I believe it to be relevent to the current situation.

I haven't had a pop at anyone for being positive, my issue is with those like you who think it's acceptable to slate people who have been there week-in-week out, people whose views carry far more weight than yours because they've seen the situation first hand.

Hope this clarifies things, read it slowly if you're struggling.....

What Clough did , having shed his excesses has no relevance at all now, hes been gone 15 months and the bulk of his acquisitions have been jettisoned
This constant people who dont go week in week out argument is a non starter , like saying we care less because we have chosen a different life style , if one of your kids emigrates when they grow up I take it you expect not to care about them any more.

Are all blades who have moved to australia the states or any where in the world lesser blades ,,, no just fans far away
I dont miss a second of any of our games ,on radio or video , , the only thing I miss out on is some of the abuse I heard at the 5 matches I attended,

 

[Kenilworth]

all of the moans people have at times quite rightly expressed as concerns
Chris has addressed , one by one
bloated squad ,, sorted
cb crisis , handled
fresh blood , a bit of creativity , done
still time for a new forward and just about there
and a continuation of using the best of our academy

its all positive steps
just need a bit of positivity from the perennial doubters
can attack next season with gusto

Previously, your ultra positivity was based on blind faith that something would change for the better and it also relied on others failing where we might take advantage - not borne out by actions from the club.
Now that the Wilder / Knill team is in post - most of the concerns I and others have been raising over the last three to four years are steadily being addressed.

I'm looking forward to agreeing with you on many more occasions this season BTL

it's not 'people who go abroad ' it's you
And no one's saying you don't care
Just that to blame or infer that Uniteds predicament is down to the fans who have been served up shite sandwiches for years travelling to footballing backwaters of the lower leagues is a bit rich and if people want to go on a forum and vent their frustrations they should be able to ,as you did last season when you realised your positivity was misplaced and the' moaners ' actually knew that they were seeing week in week out was shite

Any sign of Kilgallons car?

Killgannons was parked next to Sharpes.

Guys, if fellow Blades can't get on, how do you expect the rest of the football world to react to us. I for one get fed up when I hear other supports reactions to us. Just because we don't agree with everything everyone says, doesn't make the other view wrong, just different.

Calm down and support the Blades, together.

and give the team a chance!

I was criticising Clough for the 43 players on the roster at the beginning of last season, many of which he signed and had a direct and detrimental effect on both the quality displayed on the pitch and the financial situation. There was no large-scale clearout until Wilder took charge, this is pretty simple stuff.

And again you've not bothered to read anything properly. I don't give a toss where anyone chooses to call home, nor have I ever said that their support counts for any less. I said that you've got no right to tell others that they are wrong for calling it as they see it when you haven't seen it yourself. Many of us invest a lot of time, money and effort into this, and they don't need to be preached to from 1200 miles away.

That clear enough or do I need to install Microsoft Paint?

again you say Im blaming the fans
Im not blaming all the fans
just the ultras
and at the Lane that means the ultra negatives
people who go to games with the express desire to slag off from minute one
dont say they dont exist I saw them on all 5 trips last year

slagging off Long in the warm up
some of the shit thrown at our players before theyve kicked a ball is inbelievable

and now we have a new regime
lets give being supportive a chance
is that too far fetched for some , possibly
no doubt Fleck if he doesnt score in 4 games will get slaughtered
just what any new player needs

It should already be installed as part of Office.

 

[blade too long]

1200 MILES in this day and age with the internet means I get every gory detail, and comment
I dont tell others they are wrong at the games where theyve been and its been bad
I tell others to go to games next season not having to carry the previous woes with them
yes in hindsight owning ferencvaros did us no favours, but I doubt Fleck will know what that means


I think thats a simple enough concept

 

[Darthblade]

all of the moans people have at times quite rightly expressed as concerns
Chris has addressed , one by one
bloated squad ,, sorted
cb crisis , handled
fresh blood , a bit of creativity , done
still time for a new forward and just about there
and a continuation of using the best of our academy

its all positive steps
just need a bit of positivity from the perennial doubters
can attack next season with gusto

bloated squad ,, sorted well ...... partly sorted ..... seven listed players and Scougal still to get rid of for "job done" badge.
cb crisis , handled again ..... partly handled ...... main RH CH still to sort ......
fresh blood , a bit of creativity , done yes, partly sorted here, some fresh blood, Fleck adds some creativity so on the way here, bit more needed ....
still time for a new forward and just about there certainly need a new CF to play with Sharp, but I suggest that we're about 5 short of a realistic promotion squad yet
and a continuation of using the best of our academy we shall see as the new season progresses .....

All in all, good so far, but still a long way to go before we are a realistic top two squad.

I dont think we are finished with ins and outs just yet
I expect this weeks training will guide what Chris,s thoughts on the squad needs are
And hes shown hes prepared to get things sorted

We are a lot closer to where we need to be , with 4 weeks to sort things out
