Laugh Or Cry?

I don't know what to think................ or say.

Robbo,Kidd & Pieman out Greattttttttttttttttttt.

But Blackwell the JUDAS oh dear...................

couldn't the Blades have done better?

 

[7UpJordan]

I think the more annoying part of the deal taking Blackwell to Leeds was the fact Leeds never gave us the "friendly match" or "loan player" that they "offered in return".

 

[Bladesman]

Yep I agree.

Although I guess McCabe wanted someone quick as we havnt really got the time to interview a whole list of managers. Its alright in the off season when you have time to rebuild and look for a new manager. He has obviously gone for someone he can trust, already knows the club also a few of the players and will hopefully do well for us even if it is short term. So I can see why he went for Kevin but still rather he had spent a few days and brought in someone else.

But Blackwell the JUDAS oh dear....

Loyalty to a club is all well and good... but are you really saying that he should have turned down a move to a club with a big name like Leeds to be their number one?

And how many people cheered Brian Deane on his return? Same difference.

Is Jagielka a judas for moving?

Judas or making a sensible decision to further your career?

The Blades might be able to do "better" in the long run, but in the short term, it's a known quantity as far as McCabe is concerned. All we can do is try and get behind him.

 

[metalblade]

I thought he went to L**ds to be No 2 to Reid

 

[RIP Niftos]

I hate that man, won't stop me getting behind him and the team but in my opinion the guy's a slime ball

And he looks like tintin

BUT BUT BUT - better man for the job than Robson? Yes. More chance of achieving with him than Robson? Hell Yes. Would I be annoyed if he became permanent manager? As long as he does what Robbo failed to do - i.e everything - then no, I would welcome the appointment. At the end of the day, personal opinions should really be put to one side and he should be left to do the job how he feels best. McCabe obviously has confidence in him, and that man is no mug. As has been said - I dislike the guy because he left for Leeds - he could have left for anyone but Leeds with most fans' full backing. Past grievences will undobutedly be forgotten should we put together a good run at the end of the season, and should he bring something back to the lane for the fans to cheer about after 9 months of shite from Robbo.

Good luck slime ball

Would we really have wanted the game?

Or even one of their players on loan?

Why is Blackwell a Judas? If you got the opportunity of a higher management job at a new employer would you take it? Or be loyal to your current employer, sweeping up for ever?

If he had gone for a higher management job I could understand, but he went to be first team coach, which is in fact a step down from assistant manager.

Do yer research Blackwell = JUDAS
Read Warnocks book, good starting point.

I've read Warnock's book. Doesn't mean I have to agree with him though, just because he used to be Sheffield United manager and has his opinions in print.

All I said was that there was nothing wrong with wanting to take on a new job. I trust that you will be with the same employer for your whole life.
And whichever way you phrase the job he took at Leeds, it was a step up career-wise from his job under Warnock.

and also a one sided view.

He can't have actually been that much of a Judas, because Neil himself rang him last night for a chat and to wish him good luck.

What is it about Blades fans and hanging people out to dry?

Is Deano a judas?, TC a judas?, Jags a judas?, Mick Rooker a judas?

He left for significantly more money than he was on, in order to get a greater view of management practices and further his own management credentials.

 

[shorehamview]

Do yer research Foxy. Beightonblade says Blackwell=JUDAS, so it must be true, based on one book.

I read a Clarice Bean book to my daughter last night. They must all be true too. And The Cat In The Hat, that's a book so that must be factually correct as well.

 

[Robbie]

If we're refering back to Warnock book, lets not forget he is a mardy twat and dedicated a full chapter about how he didn't earn what he was worth.

He was worth more than Robbo .........................................................

We didn't want any of their players at that time despite the offer.

He never said he wasn't matey...

I'm happy with the appointment, it can't go wrong for us really. If he comes in and does badly, we get rid in the summer. If he does ok, we look for an improvement in the summer. If he does well, we look for a new manager. I'm not worried about us getting relegated and I don't really think we're in danger of it.

Good move by McCabe, who I still believe didn't appoint Robson in the first place.

 

[beightonblade]

No but i have............. Robbo should be invoiced for his 'work experience' at BDTBL.

From Neil Warnock's "What I've Learnt This Week" in the Indie...

I'm delighted for Kevin Blackwell, who has taken over as manager at Sheffield United. Kevin worked for me for 17 years as player, coach and assistant manager and he's a great bloke. He was my assistant for six years and I always saw him as my natural successor at Bramall Lane. I was disappointed when he left to manage Leeds United, though I could understand him wanting to run his own ship.

Things certainly improved from the first day that I offered Kevin a contract as a player, when I was manager of Scarborough. He came up to my house in Sheffield, turned into my driveway and then drove over my lawn. He could see that I was furious. Before he got out of the car he had £50 in his hand and offered to pay for the damage.

In his own mind Kevin was one of the greatest goalkeepers in the game, but we'll gloss over that, even if I did call him "The Cat". As a coach and manager he's top-class and he knows Sheffield United inside out. After going outside and recruiting Bryan Robson as manager last summer, I can see why the club have now looked to appoint someone they know well.

Don't rule them out for promotion. The squad Kevin's inheriting is one of the best in the Championship. He will know that he has never had a better bunch of players at his disposal. He's in a no-lose situation. If they make the play-offs it will be down to him, if they don't it will be down to his predecessor.

I've heard people say that Bryan's mistake was to try to change Sheffield United into a passing team. That's rubbish. We played some good football when I was in charge, but we also played with passion, which is what I believe the fans at Bramall Lane want.

If blackwell is a judas- then he now has the opportunity to put things right

Get behind him and support the team -rather than pick faults after only having being in the job a few days

crista ackroyd = judas? didnt she move from calendar?

WASH YOUR MOUTH OUT!!!!

 

[Sheffield-Bl4de]

Apparently so, Blackwell wanted the job after Warnock left, and has always wanted it, i guess going to Leeds was his only option to keep his job a-float. i am more than willing to give any manager coming from a rival club all my support, in the position we are, the last thing we want is another manager hating us.
