HRH interview

[Sean Thornton]

Bastard hikers. Leaving gates open so the livestock can escape.....

 

[Billyblade]

11 goals.
Goals you can count on the fingers of 2 hands, with one finger spare

TBF that is good. Chapeau.

Better than quoting your own post whilst trying to quote someone else's?

 

[Cheesebored]

Hardest runners/workers in PL, there might be a lack of quality and confidence but there is no lack of fight.

I'm not for singling players out but watch Fleck today for an example of lack of work/fight.

 

[Trevor Hockey - Canary]

Billy Blade. Oooh that hurt. An assault on my I/T skills . Cut me to the quick.

Quote from the BBC.it’s got to hurt:-

• Sheffield United attempted just 74 passes in the first half against Southampton; the fewest by a team in the opening 45 minutes of a Premier League game since February 2007, which was also the Blades (67 v Blackburn).

we're breaking all manner of records this year

 

[Shakespeare blade]

After 12 games last season Norwich had 7 points and had scored 11 goals. Comfortably better than your shower of sh**e This season. In fact Champions league form by comparison. At this rate you’re on par for 3 and a bit points for the season and a grand total of 15 goals. Laughable.

You ok love ?

 

[Jinxy1966]

Charming.

Foxy please can you ban this one?

Have pity. Poor guy’s at a loose end cos it’s his dad’s turn on sistermum tonight. He’s just juicing her up with 3 in the pink & 3 in the stink

 

[Mumbo]

Need to get yoursen a mrs (or Mr) mate.
Less time on your hands can only be a good thing for you. Chin up though pal.

Fleck was utter shite,apart from starting a Southampton attack with a cross that would embarrass a 10 year old.

 

[BanderSerge]

And there las me thinking Yorkshire folk stick together and blood was thicker than water and all of those hackneyed and sanctimonious Northern sayings. . And then I see strings entitled Get Allardyce in and Chris must resign. To coin another phrase . Is there trouble at t’mill? Flaky, flaky prima donna, bed wetting fans with ideas above t’station. We stuck with Farke. Perhaps you should do the same?

It’s Sunday and you’ve got nothing better to do than come on here to spout bollocks with a team about 150 miles away from you? Sad muppet. Get a life man.

 

[Brian Deane]

We might be shite atm but let's get one thing straight ......As for embarrassment......Weve a hell of a long way to go until we get near to Delia's halftime pissed up ramblings....now that was EMBARRASSING..............

 

[Kev Gee]

Even if CW and the team are making a complete cluster fuck of this season, we have a good chairman in place who sees the medium to long term.

Interesting that he dismissed the ITK posters who claim our top earners are on 20K a week.

 

[VwBlade]

I for one am glad we've got PA in charge instead of the sort of axe wielding idiots who own Watford and Leeds for example. However bobbar this season turns out to be, I hope we follow the example of Burnley, who stuck with Dyche for him to take them back up. Sheffield United is a club based and built around the fans. We have one of the loudest and most loyal fan bases in England. The reason so many fans are coping without the fans is because all their fans are in the PSB

 

[A Storm of Blades]

we finished bottom. Same place as you will but we still had a chance of staying up in March. You’re pretty much finished already especially if Fulham hold on and win today. 9 points off safety , 10 with goal difference. Happy days. Ideffo think you should sack Wilder. Most of here seem to agree with it. You’ve all turned on him very quickly, sad to see after what he’s done for your club in the past years. Thought you would show more loyalty but it seems not.

Yet you would fire him? What a rollercoaster that paragraph was.

 

[Houston_Blade]

On par with yours now pal. Absolutely shocking. We finished the season with 21 points though. You’d give your right arm for that now. Currently you stand to be embarrassed and laughed at throughout the footballing world.

I said that I’d snatch someone’s hand off for 21 points the other week and was told we’d easily beat it

 

[Silent Blade]

As much as we look shit atm there's 27 games left to play.

26

 

[Bruce Wayne]

I wish he was my boss.

1 point out of 45 and only 6 goals scored. I doubt there is a worse record ever in professional football.

 

[Keen Blade]

It's like the players listened to HRH interview and thought to themselves
"Fuck me , this owner is a clown - he thinks we're trying our best !"
And then proceeded to demonstrate that they really couldn't give a shit.
It's a long time since I've seen such an abject performance from virtually every Blades player.
Some of them were comically bad.
I don't think I will ever forget McB's ridiculous self-harming dive.
And those two short corners !
If the players collectively wanted to destroy CW they could not have done a better job.
My main two emotions today are :
To the players , "you set of embarrassing bastards".
To CW , "You poor guy , whatever mistakes you have made , you don't deserve this - your heart must be breaking".

 

[alcoblade]

On par with yours now pal. Absolutely shocking. We finished the season with 21 points though. You’d give your right arm for that now. Currently you stand to be embarrassed and laughed at throughout the footballing world.

We take inspiration from you. Royally relegated, and still nobody gives you a second thought. Ever.

Where's this carrot crunching cunt appeared from?

The Fanny Farm?

At this rate you’re on par for 3 and a bit points for the season and a grand total of 15 goals. Laughable that after spending all day working out points & goal predictions for premier league teams i have finally managed to impregnate my youngest sister.

That’s sick! I know Norwich fans do disgusting things to animals but this really needs to be reported, suspect she’s also underage. #stopnorwichinbreeding

 

[Kev Gee]

You have to give PA some credit by sticking by his man. He's going no were unless he resigns.

I’m slightly surprised that some have viewed the interview positively.

It’s often the case that the Board at a football club will pipe up in a crisis, with a public comment. Invariably, it is done with the intention of quelling any speculation that is building around the management and thereby, hopefully, lifting the pressure off the playing and coaching staff so that they might produce their best. Even Chansiri did it with Monk...10 days before he sacked him.

The problem comes when the players’ response, after the Board’s message backing the manager, is a negative one. And, frankly, the players threw the gaffer under the bus yesterday. The next move then becomes sadly inevitable because it’s easier to change one person than it is 25.

Another notable line that came screaming through was the reference to us having the ‘5th highest net transfer spend in the Premier League this season’. That fact is clearly on the agenda in whatever discussions are taking place at Board level...

That’s a McCabe type comment.

 

[Booker4]

Slightly concerned that the Prince went to Southampton! Good interview though and totally agree with the Prince's stance.

with respect it’s a fact isn’t it?

we’ve spent a tonne of money. We could have used it any way we wanted. Granted Some of the signings might still come good But you can’t argue wilder has been left with pennies.

there’s £5-6m worth of Luke freeman on loan at forest

there’s £6-8m of Robinson now at West Brom

there £7-8m of Bogel at the training ground somewhere (presumably)

There’s £23m of Brewster on the bench.

We’ve had funds and we’ve spent money.

What’s our wage bill compared with the other PL clubs? That’s traditionally been the closest correlation with a club’s position. It’s not always a direct correlation because football isn’t an exact science but it’s fair to say the clubs with the highest wage bills tend to spend more time at the top end of the table than those with lower wage bills, and if your wage bill is consistently in the bottom three, that’s where you’ll end up, sooner or later.

And given we haven’t sold anyone, our net spend is the same as our gross spend. Established clubs can sell players to reduce their net spend but we sold most of our saleable assets just to get promoted.

We’ve spent money but not enough to guarantee safety, we’ve had to sign players who’ll accept relatively low wages, which rules out players with quality, with top level experience, with consistency. Just like we did in 2006 only then it was Warnock who’s the twat, this time Wilder’s the twat.

I accept we are probably towards the bottom of that table - and quite possibly the lowest.

But As you say. We haven’t sold anyone, the prince could have flogged a couple of assets when they were coveted. But he didn’t.

The club has to live within its means - we’ve spend more than all last years tv money on transfer fees alone. The budget has to cover signing and paying for players - the transfer fees of Robinson, bogle and Freeman alone would (who arnt even playing for us) would cover 2 players on a 4 year contract of 50k a week. We could have gone that route if that would have been what wilder wanted I’m sure.

Plus you can’t guarantee safety - you need to spend the money wisely. Sunderland were paying 70k a week wages and went down. There’s certainly a benefit in being able to cut your losses or at least not having a couple of players taking 5m a year in the championship
