Selles sacked

[Sheffsteel]

Can’t stand staton, hope he loses his job and the club he supports goes bust

I think Staton is excellent at his job.
Doesn’t stand any nonsense from stupid low quality callers…so he challenges them sometimes playing devils advocate.
This makes some callers feels intimidated and they don’t like the idea of being questioned/ cross examined about their opinion.
He also has opinions but sometimes at the start of the show….think he’s deliberately being controversial in an effort to attract callers.

The callers that make me laugh are those that ring up and say
Just ringing in because you don’t talk enough about Barnsley, Sheff Utd, Chesterfield….whoever.
So Staton replies, OK now’s your chance…what do you wish to talk about regards your club.
Caller then repeats…..I’ve made my point and have nothing else to say….and they put the phone down.
Staton then says something quite sarcastic….think that causes some of the dislike because he uses passive aggression and sarcasm to deal with the smallest of criticism from callers. He’ll explain he can’t magic up callers…..so if people want to hear more about their club then simply call in.

Also in order to hide his support for Sheff Wed I find he’s often more complimentary about us, often says Wilder is the easily the best manager he’s ever seen in the area and is more disparaging about Sheff Wed. Wednesday fans have noticed he often ridicules their club and some just assumed he must be a Unitedite.

I remember the Praise and Grumble celebrations a few year back.
All the presenters (who have long retired) explained that you might start off being a Blade or an Owl
But it’s a bit like playing football for both teams, they said you visit and work at both clubs, get to know the players and managers at both clubs really well.
So they all said that gradually you develop a genuine fondness for all the local clubs.

I've no real view on Staton either way but I'm not surprised he doesn't have much patience when he has to deal with the absolute mouth breathers that phone in night after night. It would grind me down as well!

Still hope his club goes bust

 

[Nick Jansky]

Who did he play professionall football for?

This is a really poor argument that has been debunked on here several times. I’m surprised people still make it.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

The phone screener from football heaven appearing on pissmores video blog from the protest and getting Vietnam style flashbacks to dealing with him made me laugh.

 

[54yrblade]

Radio Sheffield really need to part ways with Staton, he can’t honestly present a football show in a 2 club city with his blatant one eyes bias.

I much prefer Adam Oxley. Staton always seems to be trying to hard to impress, and fails.
Adam comes across as more natural and he loves the game.
Gidds second to Adam for me.

 

[ITALIANO BLADE]

i recon the next blades continental gaffer will be the italy team hardman and italiano juventus legend my favorite italian midfield player wanted him to play for us sufc years ago he would be ok he would fire us up to win reyt boos hed be ,,utb..forza sufc for life

 

[Railway Blade]

Nuno anyone

 

[Blades1971]

Nuno anyone

Absolutely. Think he is out of our reach though. Forest must be mad

 

[Ron_Justice]

Nuno anyone

Just saw the news and it was my first thought. Not sure he'd be willing to step back down to the Champ though.

 

[DaJust]

Yes Please, would be a big statement of intent

 

[ITALIANO BLADE]

MY YUMMY FISHCAKES ALL ROUND IS SELLES BALL WINS SATURDAY IF HE DOESNT HIS TIME WILL BE UP ,,UTB...CHOW..

 

[TJ blade]

He would if the money was right

 

[Bladesthorpe]

For Forest see Sheffield United both got rid of their best managers since Brian Clough and John Harris.

 

[Booker4]

I cannot see Nuno coming here for a minute quite frankly. His stock has raised massively since he did well at forest. I no were far more likely with Gary O'Neil, Michael Carrick and Danny Rohl. Out if those three it would be Rohl every day for me but after Rob Statins twitter post it seems that's off the table too.

 

[ITALIANO BLADE]

personaly i dont want a continental poor results cant win boo boys boss they sack them has well and im coninental blood they cant sack me its not worked look at slav now selles may get chop it would be much better getting a kop blades legend i wish chris basham could take over hed be a great coach just like the fella and all he did he would win id have bashembaur hes a blades god he would be a great boss hed win..utb..love it when he scored at leeds united when he arrived 0.1 win best goal ever and i was there to se it love him,,give it bash if selles goes ,dont you just love bash top man no 6 legend a great servant be a good player,good gaffer ,good pundit has well .,.chow,,,real fan of sufc he loved it at lane this top blades bloke a amazing man kop legend bash

Staton knows nothing.

I'll not pay any attention on the Rohl comments from Staton.. Especially when it's clear it's based from a baby like tantrum.

 

[Davalon]

I doubt we could afford even half of Nuno's wage demands

 

[Wards]

This is what any new manager is up against (this was in reference to someone pipe-dreaming about Nuno). Tragic.

Maybe if we win on Friday & Selles punches the badge and sings in the Hilton afterwards we'll accept him

 

[mattbianco1]

There’s an international break in October it makes a lot more sense to do it then

This is where I am with it currently.
He's been backed and got his signings in now. Let's look for improvements

I can see why people are calling for his head, but I'm not into this hiring and firing mentality. I didn't think or fans were either, but we do seem to have grown more entitled over recent years.

The next international break is 5 games away...
-Ipswich (a)
-Charlton (h)
-Oxford (a)
-Southampton (h)
-Hull (a)

Need a minimum of 8pts from that, but the target should be 10-12 really

 

[luffenhamblade]

Is it not better value than paying off managers every few months?

 

[mattbianco1]

Think Reading were on 30 points when he left, after 17 games (1.76 ppg).

That's play off form from a team who weren't tipped for Play Offs.

He struggled massively in his first part of his tenure at Reading too before changing up his tactics.
He needs to change up here quickly though, otherwise he'll not have a job

 

[mattbianco1]

Cooper
Godfrey Tanganga Mee
Seriki Peck Matos Hamer Burrows
Campbell Ings

There's a lot of leaders on the pitch there too - Godfrey, Tanganga, Mee and Ings. We didn't have any of them 3 weeks ago.

Robinson was the only real one we had. Hamer isn't captain material for me and I hope it goes to one of the above

 

[mattbianco1]

Why would winning one of the next two change your mind when we now need to win most of the remaining games. If he doesn’t win both convincingly, he’s not the man to take us forward, with the toy cupboard he now has at his disposal. This isn’t about the odd win.

"Most of the remaining games?"

Ipswich are still favourites for the title and haven't won a game either.

We've played 4 games.... FOUR

 

[Kenilworth]

I much prefer Adam Oxley. Staton always seems to be trying to hard to impress, and fails.
Adam comes across as more natural and he loves the game.
Gidds second to Adam for me.

I think they are all excellent.
We are very lucky to have three really good commentators working on our regional football.
It’s a thankless task and I’ll bet it doesn’t pay all that well.
They do an excellent job

 

[mattbianco1]

Sorry if posted elsewhere

See now I really really want Rohl appointed

Tanganag Ings & Mee probably. Not sure about Dolly’s brother.

Still think Tanganga, Ings, and Mee sounds like a lyric off Musical Youth.

Agree. It’s as if he’s trying the experiment on his theory before coming to the conclusion that theory is alright on paper with four colours of ink pen annotations but when the rubber hits the tarmac the reality tends to bite you in the arse.
