SUMS UP MY VIEW ON OUR CURRENT PLIGHT

 

[raul]

Are you sure? There's no reference to Manchester United, Nottingham Forests European Cup wins or the global banking crisis.....

no we got relegated as at a time we needed stability , he fecked off, plain and simple

but of course youll still blame nccabe
if we are being arsey

Carver was in charge for the Swansea game where we won one-nil. We then went to Norwich (Boxing Day ?) we lost 4-2 but the performance was full of passion,skill and we created chances. (if it weren't for that cheating twat Holt and the ref failing to spot a handball and an assault against Ched we might have got something). I was amazed he wasn't given the job until the end of the season-we would at least then had some stability

Thought that the other night when I saw him with Pardew.

Since when has Mark Yeates been the fount of all wisdom?
He fell out with Adams, so he has to find some excuse.

He was a lazy, selfish tosser who was another small chapter in the story of our demise.

When he's handing out blame he needs to look closer to home.

 

[blade too long]

his ability or lack of it not the issue , he was one of many who let us down

Ability wasn't an issue for him. Being a twat was.

every fucker fell out with Adams and that is why we are in this division. Add Ward and Britton to that list and a pinch of Collins and Doyle and you have a nice dollop of division 3. He came in January and he didn't have time to build his own team.

Everyone can blame Speed or whatever for our current plight but we had a good team. I even fancy Wilson would have kept us up and that's saying something.

 

[TAMUS]

Adams probably said hey Mark dont turn up for work pissed , Alehouse has done very well since working with nothing .

 

[sheffielder]

Oh and I Forgot Marcus Bent

Absolutely. There were quite a few to blame for that miserable season and Yeates attitude and performances were one of them.

I seem to recall the phrase " dodged a bullet there" written with alacrity when he left for Wales anyway. Blaming him for where we are is a bit like holding Orville Wright responsible for Hiroshima.

Yep, I remember Speed's first game in charge at the Lane. We looked awesome, with Calve looking like the new Vass. Alas, it was another false dawn followed by further ineptness.

I saw the thread title "HITS THE NAIL ON THE HEAD" and then I saw the poster and though "this isn't going to hit the nail on the head". It didn't.

 

[Silent Blade]

4-2-3-1 again for today. Hope it will not mean that we lack punch up front again

 

[mpjacko]

"Bradford City winger Mark Yeates has claimed Sheffield United’s decline as a Championship superpower can be traced back to Gary Speed’s departure as manager."

No, it was when KM bizarrely decided that Bryan Robson was the best manager to take us back in the PL when everyone at the lane expect the board knew he was shite.

 

[OllyBlade]

I disagree he scored goals and created things under Speed, when he was ostracised under Adams I don't remember us creating very much at all. He played okay today for Bradford and I am surprised a lower championship team didn't try and sign him.

To be quite honest it was a mistake sacking Adams. We want down, and he would have worked well under a budget, got rid of some of the dross with bad attitudes, and dragged us kicking and screaming back out of this godforsaken division just like Bassett did.

Instead we got Danny Wilson who meant well but achieved fuck all

Adams? Might as well give Robson another go

Daft as it sounds, I do think Adams would have had a decent shot at getting us back up. People forget that Ched actually started to come good under him in the league above. I remember several posts at the time stating that the only good thing about his tenure was that he seemed to be getting the best of of Evans.

Something else Adams would have done is have had shit pants and poo pants (Flynn and Murphy) bombed out of the club in 5 minutes flat.

Sorry mate but that is daft. Very daft.

If I remember things correctly the players did not respond to Adams and his record as manager was terrible. The loss to Scunthorpe when 2-0 up is a good example. Shockingly bad result at the time.

Also remember several pastings during the first few months of Bassett........

Just look how long it took him to ship out the crap like Philliskirk, Cadette and Leaning and replace them with quality

Blackwell would have kept us up. But he is a useless idiot.
