bollocks people talk about,yorkshire grit-sheffield steel,its this BS that managers or a manager goes on about chest thumping,kissing the badge that means phuc all to the majority of players unless born & bred sheffielders! Re buying into the club the lads on the pitch are professional footballers doing a job to the best of their abilities,They don't care about the history of the club they being professionals should be a New team performing as a team giving everything for 90 minutes etc and pride in the team they are part of , its the wages at the end of the day that count to them. Fans now mumping about oh no Egans gone that's the last of the old school,GGTL but he will say what his new club tell him to say,same as all players wanting fans on side,it's a major chance hopefully of clearing the decks at the club and start of a new era hopefully,I wonder if any players have to study the history of the Royal Navy if they sign for Portsmouth etc,or in Stoke about making teapots.

Love a long single paragraph rant, but I’ve no idea what your actual point is

Agree, all the chest thumping Yorkshire grit stuff probably doesnt mean much to players, they (rightly) mainly care about money.

The chest thumping, Yorkshire grit style is more about galvanising/ uniting the fanbase.
Our best managers have been Bassett, Wilder and Wilder, all 3 have very similar personalities and presentation/ communication styles.
Also their pre and post match interviews were comforting to the fanbase because you could see that all 3 were passionate and hurting.
So no players would be allowed to coast and have an easy ride. The general Blades culture has been our fans don't mind seeing limited players
as long as they appear to care and give 100%.

Imagine if we appointed a manager with no charisma like Gareth Southgate, even if we were winning, don't think our fans would take to him.
His pre and post match interviews would be demoralising before we've even kicked a ball.

Fair point

I don’t get it.
 

I get his point .
I've never been a fan of all the histrionics and playing to the crowd some managers do . This apparently having to show how much they care type of activity is utter cobblers .
Each to thier own but its all a bit panto .

Keep this quiet you are giving our marketing team some serious food for thought! We will end up with player unveiling videos on Instagram of them in various guises recreating the history of cutlery production through the ages.
 
A lot of people from Yorkshire are scrubbers who holiday in Benidorm so they are.

Just a quick note mate, we've seen this schtick before numerous times, and yes we will get tired of it before you, but you will also get bored of it as well, just like other "characters" did, the first sign of it getting boring is having to insult people for attention..

you would have been better calling yourself father ted, a lot more humour to play around with, Jim is very limited with his dialogue and it'll become unfunny quick, well, like it is now. so it is.

This is a lovely rant, some of what you say is spot on, Egan could end up at Stoke possibly Mcburnie as well, and if they do it won't be long before they endeer themselves to thier fans with badge kissing and the like, they do it for the adrenalin that they get when the crowd reacts..

Most footballers don't support the team they play for, its the same with managers, Warnock was a unitedite, but says the best fans were Palace, Cardiff, Qpr, Huddersfield, etc, "when he was at each club".

Yorkshire grit isn't anything to do with millionaire footballers driving lamboughinis to training, it's more like working more hours and going without so you can scrape enough together for a cheap holiday for the family.

Ahem..

Don’t be so precious, do you holiday in Benidorm? Not saying there’s anything wrong with it so I’m not, it’s just not to my taste.

Took a few cheap and cheerful holidays with friends and our children while they were growing up in benedorm and other places that some frown upon, salou etc.

We had a great time, look out the window mate, it's pissing it down..

Oh, I'm working class mate..

Glad you enjoyed it mate, like I say not for me, people put me off it, for every good person like yourself there is another disgusting pack of chavs.

I personally don’t mind the rain so I don’t, I’ve lived in a hot country before for a while so I have and you start to despise the heat. We don’t appreciate how good and pleasant the climate is in the UK.
