Remedial level football club

[ReeceofBDTBL]

Dean Hammond, despite him clearly struggling to get across the pitch in his initial loan spell, offered the option of a permanent contract.

That one deal is this football club summed up perfectly. So let's stop this talk of Wednesday being lucky and us being unlucky.

We've been treated to decades of tryers, failures and achieving FUCK ALL because the people who run out club, in football terms, are a bit thick compared to the other clubs, including the blue k white dickheads across the city.

One of the best and most loyal fanbases on the country, lumbered with the biggest joke in English football.

Furious. SHITE UNITED! FUCKING SHITE!

On a positive note, Hammond excepted, it's a fantastic cull - Tufty has wielded the blade and got rid of almost all of the crap.

Agree, that one almighty fuck up Kev.

 

[Bladeinleeds]

Take a step back.

He was by all accounts a decent footballer, at a prem club.

What if he'd come in and done well - club would have been slated for not tying him down if we'd lost him. we essentially bough not loaned him a year ago.

All signings are a gamble and we've lost massively here.

 

[ZoneManWilf]

I see a lot of blame at Adkins on this, and I agree, but this was signed off at board level. A total an utter balls up. And as for Hammond exercising the option... What an absolute...

We've got previous...

"The 34-year-old [Danny Higginbotham] joined the Blades in January on an initial six-month deal and played enough games to earn a one-year extension." In the Danny Wilson era.

Time for these contract gifts to stop once & for all, surely?

 

[robbiez666]

I've sure it wasn't Kev's fault. Nothing ever is.

 

[Bartyblade]

A manager really, really wants a player.
The fans (at first) want the player.
The player has a contract with a PL club.
You are a L1 club.
You need to pursuade the player to sign for you - so you include some 'security' in his contract rather than high renumeration - which you can't afford.
You manage to sign player - everyone happy.
Player turns out to be a LONG way short of what you expected.
You're stiffed.
S*** happens!

 

[R&WStripedBlood]

Geoff Horsfield was another loan master stroke.

Yep, he was just unlucky that Hammond was old and shite.

Hammond did seem like a very good move at the time but little did we know that he is no longer the player he used to be.

Never heard of him before and apart from the contract fiasco will be forgotten even quicker.

What's his name?

Danny Higginbotham. I can only think of him and Ian Rush who might compete with Hammond in the past-it stakes. All truly appalling yet taking good money out of Sheffield.

that doesn't apply here though as he could have still walked, we never had him tied down; no wonder he plays like he can't be bothered, he didn't have to be.

 

[8lade]

Fair play to Higginbotham he did go don't recall him being paid off but he may have been.

It's called supporting your manager no matter how miss guided that may have been,I would assume they felt it was the right thing to do at the time.
Hind site is a great thing.

 

[borbokis]

is there any possible way he might be alright with a full pre season? Clutching at straws I know. Is it just 1 year has?

Nothing wrong with the initial loan signing, including a permanent deal in the offer of extending the loan till the end of the season is fucking unfathomable. Utterly useless and a perfect example of why we're the quintessential car crash of a football club.

We cant keep Players if they want to leave ...............

We cant get rid of Players if they want to stay ............... its like a retirement fuckin home

Bert will raise you.. Peter Withe and Jimmy Johnstone.

 

[Lord Eddard Muir]

Don't forget Geoff Horsfield. Came in on loan, immediately fell out with Warnock and dumped in the reserves, but the loan deal included an obligation to buy him for £1M+ at the end of the loan. Then no bugger else wanted him so we were lumbered with the mardy twat.

Yes true ...... we should be positive about the beginning that tufty has made .....

Just add Scougal and done to the transfer list and we've got a clean sweep and hopefully the opportunity to build a consistent, strong, pacey squad.

If only the Board can be persuaded to financially back the manager to do it we may have a decent chance this season ........

UTB & FTP

Surely that one was Adkins fault as well?!

We are the football equivalent of the little, bewildered old lady with a bit of money in the bank surrounded by mercenary gits.

People keep saying he's past it, but I've never seen anyone more past it than Paul McGrath and he was class. What compounds the Hammond situation for me is that beyond common or garden crapness, the bloke is a cunt.
