Blimey, I’m sorry you’re so cut up but let’s get some perspective here. This is the oldest football club in the world and CW achieved great things during his spell, a very short spell in the context of our history. The Prince backed him with an, under the circumstances, incredible endorsement but his behaviour recently has been nothing short of a spoiled mardy arse.
You might have a partner who you consider the love of your life, gives you the happiest times and who you would think will be with you til you die. However, if they treat your kids unfairly, slag you off in public and refuse to treat the relationship with any respect, there’ll come a time when you think, this can’t go on. Counselling gets you to the point of suggesting that a bit of give and take is needed but no, they believe that everything has to be on their terms. None of us know what actually went on but I’m sure it will be revealed in due course. For me, his behaviour simply could not be tolerated any longer. I have consistently advocated keeping him into next season but, let’s be honest, we have been utterly awful since last March. Yes, yes, we lost JOC but I cannot remember a single game when I thought, “ yes, he’s got us playing with passion and commitment again.” Had we still been a PL side, I’m sure, the Board would, to a degree, have tolerated his demands but recently we, frankly, have looked like the L1 team some on here are convinced we’ll become again.
So, come on, the world will keep turning, Sheffield United will be fine next season. The next permanent appointment is indeed a very important one but all this talk of chanting CW’s name in front of the new manager, is not the behaviour of supporters committed to the Club. It is more akin to unquestioning idolatry of an individual and will be undermining what we all profess to want - success for SUFC.
