Are you all there?
Lets say Adams says "I really think I could further my career in Brentford's reserves, I'm off Phippsy" you'd be all over it claiming a great move until the cows came home.

All where? Unless I've missed something basically this started with
It's wrong to sell our best player.
and ended with
We should sell our best player at the right price.
Which I reckon is about as much progress as can reasonably be expected.

With a short detour at "What do you mean you wouldn't sell Che Adams to Real Madrid for £500 million?"

Thank you for letting me know what I think. I am often confused and now know where to come for clarity and guidance.
Did you use Tarot cards?
No, just 2,800 posts on here.

Totally wrong. We have talked the previous errors to death and back alive again. Time to draw a line under it all and move forward.

So let's just never mention it again, bury our heads in the sand and hope for the best?
Nice one.

So ok lets carry on mentioning it every other post. Deal done. Why the fuck did we sell Mick Jones. There. Done. Just tell me exactly what I've changed again?
PeteBlade
Well-Known Member
Yes, because that's exactly what I said, isn't it?
But people still do mention mick jones and his sale
You know why ? Because the one thing that hasnt changed is we always sell our best players
Right back to mick jones and long before that

Rather than having a hissy fit at the fans for having the temerity to mention our previous (and various) fuck ups, why not have the hissy fit at the people who make and made the various fuck ups in the hope that one it reminds/scares/annoys them into not making the same fuck ups time and time again?
For example, when was the last time we were able to say "do you know what, fair enough we had to sell xyz, but wow, look at the two people we brought in as replacement, what a statement of intent"?
Ever?

I started going in 1975. I remember someone getting all worked up about Mick Jones. Asked my uncle and he explained the situation.
What Google has just revealed - after I got past Mick Jones of the Clash and Mick Jones of Foreigner - was that that issue was already 7 or 8 years old in 1975. I'd always figured it must have happened about a week before,.judging from how agitated the bloke was.
Might be worth a thread of its own: Which bastard sold Mick Jones?

Which bastard sold Mick Jones and Wednesday just scored. Cmon Jim I demand answer. Now. That is now. This minute. And what ever you say I won't believe you because its just spin. Ok.

To be honest I can't remember who said what. Slowly losing the will to live. Eventually if all live on past mistakes we will stop realising what was a mistake and what wasn't. If you kick a dog when its lying down just don't expect it to jump up and lick you in the face.

And perhaps because people keep mentioning it we will never move on. So which bastard did sell him?
So if we stop mentioning the board selling our best player every year they will stop
Or we just wont give a fuck anymore ?
We could stop mentioning sufc altogether and move on to b&q every saturday

If you can't even keep track with whatever your own argument is supposed to be, I've no idea how others are supposed to.

To summise
Mr Foulkes and BTL and their ilk don't care about the "great bits of business" the club continue to keep doing and watching us stay stuck in reverse.
Pete, Rev, Judge myself and many others think the club should adopt a different stance and use the word No.
Or at the very least replace the one we have sold.
The end

You need to ro read again what he said. Most of what you say makes no sense as it is so take a step back and start again

Oh I can keep a track of my arguments but you, metal, judge, some guy with a leeds post code, barney rubble, up pomppeyi and others just fade into one mass of constantly reminding everyone - because we dont pay attention - that - and forgive me if I get this next bit wrong - I think we are in the fifth season in the league.
I promise I'll do my best to remember that. You may need to keep reminding me every now and then.
Oh and that Murphy was our best player this season start, Maguire last season start, Lowton a couple of seasons before that. And because we are in League 1 and we sold them to clubs in a higher league then everything about the club is shit. Is that right?

Better question, is that wrong?

I'm genuinely bemused at your misplaced anger.
It's nonsensical to aim your hissy fit at fellow Blades and not the actual culprits and people that keep doing these things.
Still, if it makes you feel better to slag off fellow fans instead, knock yourself out.

Not sure. Cat just gone through window after that 3rd goal.

Oh believe me the only anger I have at moment is with fucking Arsenal.
The rest is just bemusement at how some people just keep harping on the same message in the belief that those who really just want to get over it and move on will keep harping back to their book entitled Repetitive Mistakes of the Sheffield United Board 1968 to 2015.

How exactly do we get over it when they keep repeating it every single season?
I'll get over it now, then we'll do it again in the summer and wonder why we don't get promoted again.
It's not a coincidence.

But we aren't just constantly reminding you that are we?
We are saying reasons why we think we are down here

Sounds like a specialist subject on Mastermind, though there's one obvious problem with that idea.

Perhaps next summer is the time to discuss it not 15 games into a season. You can't bring Murphy back (he wasn't our best player btw). So move on. Support the club, get behind the decisions no matter whether you think they were good or bad. Come next May if we go up - fantastic. We can open the prosecco and plan for next season. If we don't have the inquest and move on. Constantly drilling out the same repeated 5th season in league, sold best player etc etc etc serves no purpose other than to satisfy own "told you" agendas.
