NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!
talk about forgetting the past! does no one remeber how terrible it was under Blackwell? isnt it amazing how quickly people forget.
WHy not get Tonge back? i bet he could do a job?
Jordan Stewart maybe?
Peoples memory are that bad that some people were willing nosworthy to be back to fitness!
Get a grip lads and lets get behind the CURRENT team and the CURRENT manager, and look forwards.
Yep we should all get a grip because no matter what position we are in it must be better than under Blackwell. Under Blackwell we never got done 4-0 at home against Scunthorpe. Yes thats right Scunthorpe (although of course we were unlucky!). I don't think we ever went on a 10 game streak without winning a game under Blackwell and I don't think we ever went on a run as bad as the one we are on at present.
I remember how bad it was, but no matter how I shake myself I can't think its anything other than worse now than its ever been. Theres some grade A cod being talked here about how Blackwell is the master of this entire debacle just to defend the indefensible. McCabe took Robson on, McCabe sacked Robson, McCabe took Blackwell on and McCabe sacked Blackwell (possibly the worst timed sacking in the history of Sheffield United). McCabe then went cheap again for Speed and Speed left the very minute he realised he didn't have a cat in hells chance with that team. McCabe fell lucky when he actually got cash for Speed from the Welsh FA and what did he do? He took on MA, a man out of his depth in a paddling pool. If one thing may save us its that MA is a League One Manager at best and thats where he is going to get his chance to manage. Look at the team. How many of this team are Blackwell signings?
Finally, and I'll save the best till last some clown thinks its better to be rid of Blackwell and be playing in League One next season. So to sum up, we will be playing a worse standard of football in a worse league and significantly lower revenues coming in but your happy because Blackwells gone. Oh dear.
Sheffield United will go into administration within the next 24 months if we get relegated.
Note : Olle, spot on.

Lets not forget that a lot of these players are player bought by Blackwell, and he also systematically turned decent players into seemingly extremely average ones before getting rid of them at a loss, including players such as Cotterill, Howard, Carney and Sharp, all of whom are playing for clubs higher up than we are, whilst signing some absolute dross.
This isn't a defence of Adams, some of his signings have been just as bad, but I am amazed by some of the comments lately about how if we'd kept Blackwell we'd be much better off and much happier because I just don't believe it.
Woooooowwwwwww there. I'm a big fan of artistic license but David Carney was shite when he arrived and shite when we sold him, don't rewrite history to suit your own ends. Fact is we shouldn't have sacked Blackwell when we did, we should have done it 3 months earlier. Why the hell did McCabe let him spunk money up the wall, get a creditable draw at Cardiff and then sack him after one bad result at home against QPR (who do top the table after all).
McCabe is the big problem here, not Blackwell, not evern Warnock or Robson or anyone else. Oh and Micky Adams is an innocent bystander. What we shouldn't do is deflect blame away from where its route cause is. If there is protest let it be at the man who has masterminded one of the most cataclysmic demises possible in football, turning a well run club into an absolute shambles inside 3 years. Has he got Peter Risdale advising him?
