McCabe, still there

[TarquinDelouche]

Strange too how the McCabe apologist's can't see further than their nose end's, the finance problems at SUFC are the responsibility of one man and one man alone Kevin McCabe. Funny how a host of clubs with below 50% some down to 25% of our income get along fine. Why do the McCabe apologist's never ever wonder why ???

*apologists

Strange too how the witch hunter general's (sic) can accept this but can't accept that not only is it McCabe's club, and he can do whatever the hell he likes with it, but as it's McCabe's club, it's McCabe that is losing more financially every year than they will earn in ten years.

No because he has the freehold which more than covers his investment

He has had the freehold all along. He just moved it to another one of his capacious pockets.

I concur, hence his investment waste of money.

I bet it felt so wrong to type like that. How many times did you have to delete a space?

1 sorry for any bad spacing when your on the i- phone its hard to gauge between words so sorry.
2 mum, da, and younger brother followed the vile so should i do the same.
3 born and raised in s2 so why the fuck should i followcru
4 once a blade always a blade and always proud of everyone who played for us. EXCEPT terry curran, turns and spits, and don givens, should i also follow Derry city over here ?because of our history with them.

 

[dublin 10 blade]

It makes you a clapper - the like of which I believe are destroying my beloved club.

Born, and raised in sheffield, the cliffe, norfolk park , then skyedge, before dad was forced to get on his bike due to the cunt that is thatcher, moved over when we got relegated to 4th for next 6 yrs took ferry over to Liverpool [ it took all night] got train to manchester, then train to sheffield , did this every two weeks, then did reverse journey back sunday night to get into work for monday morning, sweated blood sweat and tears for this club mostly on the terraces of 2/3/4th division teams my son now follows the blades and goes football training in his blades top, I need no lessons in what it is to be a blade got the scars to prove it, don't bear you any personal malice mica, or any of the other Kyrpton factor academics pullin people up over full stops and comma's just your continued carping is a fuckin pain. Don't get over as much usuall grown up things to do,sorry bradford blade for the let down, but will get over before end of this season, doubt wether i'll see thee thou probable crying when vile get relegated again.

 

[Kev Gee]

Credit maybe due when the season finishes. Not before.

You see, this is the kind of patronising, name-calling rubbish that fucks people off. You honestly believe that fans who disagree with you are "destroying your club", well, that's up to you. It's the constant attitude that anyone who dares to disagree with you is wrong, and a "clapper" that tends to annoy a lot of people on here.

I'll speak for most of the members of this forum without asking them, just as you claim to speak for all United fans without asking all of them for their thoughts on anything. You've certainly not asked me, I know that much. We know you don't like McCabe, that is evident, it's just that whenever someone like dublin 10 blade says something that you don't like they get blamed for "destroying" United. At the start of the post you quoted he says that he's not "a 100% fan" of McCabe and yet you blame him for "destroying" United, and you call him a "clapper".

Let's get this straight Mic, you're not the only one that criticises Kevin McCabe and his stewardship of Sheffield United, not by a long, long way, yet for anyone who disagrees solely with your opinion then they are labelled, and you think that's fine. It is then rather surprising that when someone has a dig at you then you can't see what all the fuss is about, rather like someone who plays with matches all day then is shocked when they get their fingers burnt.

If you want to carry on calling people "clappers" when they don't agree with what you say then carry on. Just don't get surprised or upset when some of those who get annoyed by your postings start calling you names back.

I'm waiting for you to call me a "clapper" too, because I don't tread the Micalijo "McCabe = Satan" party line, even though I have criticised McCabe in the past. Or perhaps a new name can be used?

I can see it will get to the stage where Foxy has to start using his infraction stick to take action against people who have had enough of childish labelling and name-calling and decide have a pop back. We shall see. It may of course depend on how much childish labelling and name-calling they have to put up with. I suspect there will be some, based on past evidence.

You can call me names if you like, if that makes you feel any better. If it gives you a warm fuzzy glow then fire away.

Just remember that if someone disagrees with your opinion then that doesn't make them wrong.

Listen Shoreham, all the stuff you post about depression and what not - where does that sit? I'm a Blade who detests the owner for turning us into a pub league side happy about spending £100k on a winger, and am very unhappy with the manager for the unbelievably boring stuff I am watching nearly every other week at BDTBL. Get over it. People disagree with me, best term I can use is clappers.

I will however stop with the destroying the club stuff - which is wrong.

Dublin - apologies for saying you are destroying the club. Not true, I understand where you are coming from.

Just to confirm, I do however believe McCabe has destroyed our club with his property links and choice of shite manager after shite manager. I am sick of seeing fans of clubs with half our true support having days in the sun. We've missed the boad Dubim and it is McCabe's fault.

Mica,( jesus i hate this fuckin phone) i bare you no malice , you have every right to say what you say , and i will defend you in your right to that view . I disagree with what you say thats all. I was the same as you when wilson first made manager whoever I would not have made a tool of myself in the carpark, but he's our manager know and i support the club not the man. Opinions are like arseholes we all have em, know it was nothing personal mate were all blades are' nt we. I do support wilson and his team 100% though even though we do play shite at times. But when the history books say 2013-2013 champions sheffield united it won't tell us in some games we played shite.Just champioms.

 

[dublin 10 blade]

Whoops double post sorry..

 

[Racy]

Wow - stabalise in Championship! I can hardly wait Racy. What a man that McCabe is.

Swansea, Norwich, Stoke, WBA etc all sem to have done pretty well during the last four years?

The first three clubs you mention have had their fair share of misery over the last twenty years and West Brom well it's hardly been brilliant for them being one of the Prems whipping boys for years.
We as a club are well on par with all the above similar in status.

Yes I would be happy with a top ten position in the championship so long I am being entertained preferably with a majority of home grown players.








Better this than a team of second rate foreigners milking the club and being one of the Prems whipping boys

I agree about being a good Champ club playing football would keep me happy but other than that your post contains some of the most ludicrous things I have ever read on here.

Good stuff Dublin. The car park lads were a disgrace to the club, Wilson has done ok, made bad signings IMO last term late on and I lost all confidence in him after the Tranmere game which was a complete joke for SUFC in this pub league.

 

[Racy]

Swansea in long spell in divisions 3/4
Norwich struggled in championship relegated to division 3
Stoke good few seasons in division 3

The above happened in last 20 years

Aye. For every team that wins another must lose.

[blade too long]

Wow - stabalise in Championship! I can hardly wait Racy. What a man that McCabe is.

we go from where we are , not from where we think we should be , yes Currie was magnificent , but those days are long gone, we have no divine right to be anywhere, he puts up the spondulicks , the manager and players take us where they can, our job is to support them and encourage them ,not fucking moan at every turn
and say weve been in a better place , yes we have been in a better place , but weve been in worse too

 

[Bladesway]

no matter how inept some say he is , we have brought in 2 players without the need of having to sell any one
not so fast to point this out some people
and 5 academy players in the team that walked off the pitch saturday ,the academy he built
credit is not as freely given as criticism Ive noticed

So you take a business, you make it fly. You then make an utter wombles arsehole of things and put it from the black into huge debt. To make good some of those debts you sell all your assets making you totally worthless but it puts enough in the kitty to buy a bloke from Motherwell and a 34 year old defender.

I wonder if he nipped online to get a payday loan from Wonga just to balance the books because giving him credit for these signings is way beyond funny.

And to those who say he has become poorer because of it and those who say he has ploughed millions in. Is that something you honestly believe? That a businessman worth several hundred millions of pounds has actually invested a penny of his own wealth into SUFC? He may have invested and made paper transactions but people like Kevin McCabe play with other peoples money never their own.

To his credit I do think he has realised the god awful mistakes he has made and hopefully we are ploughing through the shit right now to get to a better place. If this is the case and he is good to his word he will stay involved for long enough to see the club put right.

So, please don't ask me to give him credit. This is after all the man who sold everything.

P.S I see Wilson today saying we may have to sell so it isn't quite the land of milk and honey yet.

 

[dublin 10 blade]

I only get to hear through tv, radio, and laptop, and seeing as you go more often then me are better placed to commemt, heard it was dire ok. Only seen 2 games pompey and notts county so maybe slightly baised .Also going by radio commentators we were crap v toytown tramps side and for 80 mins v pikeys we were shit an all, but with new signings and still there or there abouts with 20 games left we can now (hopefully) push on and get out of this wasteland of a league, UTB.Enjoy your weekend everyone.

Bladesway it is a wonder that you get out of bed in the morning. Glory be............................

 

[blade too long]

never said it was all milk and honey bladesway , but just continually pushing the negatives , helps does it , if one of your kids gets ill do you say , come on your not as good as you used to be, your letting me down , or do you encourage the good things , mistakes have been made , but some things in the big world have changed , , the slump has hit the only , lets stress this , the only source of income we have, constructions on its arse, , instead of constantly berating McCabe why not ask other local wealthy people why they arent ploughing money said before we got relegated to div 1 he wanted someone else to take over , but no one has come forward , so what do you do , tell him hes a grabbing twat , fuck him off and leave us without a pot to piss in

great plan

and lets say you get your way and mccabe says enough Bladesway has convinced me Im the only problem here and goes , are you stepping in with the money,
Ill put it as straight language as I can , either put up or shut up ,offer a solid , we will be in europe in 5 years 250 million pound influx from me and my mates or stop fucking whingeing

 

[Pollingtonblade]

Just to comment on the Robson appointment. Prior to his appointment we were 3rd favourites for the title, on the day of his appointment we went back to 6th. As far as I'm aware we didn't even interview anyone else for the post, also laughably saying that Robson has guided a team from this division to promotion, yes that was over 10 years previously with a budget never before seen in the division.

but that goes for 50% of managers, and any manager is a gamble, look at Blackburn , another ex great player for them gets the reins , lasts 10 weeks,then a work a day coach assistant takes over at west brom and does brilliant , you never know, Robsons former team mate Steve Bruce, was shite for us didnt work for him , looks like hes taking Hull up, I didnt want Robson , but to be fair wasnt excited when we got Dave Bassett and hes been one of the most fun, and danny wilsons done great with sod all

 

[blade too long]

It's all getting a bit too much for you this isn't it?

yes theres problems , we all know that , but theres little in the way of options, its a time when the term support is put into practice by us , not niggling little ill informed digs , like the numpties who went on radio saying mccabe was fleecing the club , be understandable if there was anything to fleece

So any critique of McCabe and the way the Club is run can only be made if the poster has £250m?
I guess no-one can comment on the players unless they've 30 caps for England too?

 

[blade too long]

no we can all discuss , thats discuss and make comment , but some have a constant liturgy of blaming all the ills on him , when we are only still a division one club down to one act in a Rhyll hotel, unless you blame him for the goalie missing the 10th penalty

Mccabe had nearly put it right , hes an easy target when we were all disappointed at it going tits up, but he wasnt on the pitch

until we get investment what do you suggest then , constant haranguing of our only source of income , thats constructive, question every decision despite never being out of contention since coming down , tell me how can we move forward amid such negativity,Im not saying worship the man and dont ask questions, but lets let up on the abuse occasionally

 

[raul]

You stop skirting round the issue of appropriating any blame to him in the first place (and you're at it agin with your D1 rationale - how did we get there in the first place? An over-reliance on loanees for two seasons and going through four managers in one would be something that should at the very least get some consideration) and maybe people won't be as keen to offer some alternative perspective?
