This "big club" nonsense is a load of rubbish anyway. I'd sooner be a "small club" like Bolton than a "big club" like Wolves.
That's not Jack Frost is it???
Anyway...
Jack's right, it's a pointless debate. Lets get on & stay ahead in the Prem.. No-one will be even raising the issue if we stay up, & do well next year. At the moment, only those who wear a crackling jacket are arguing! Lets look at the reality..
1. Finances :- Blades are miles ahead.
2. Players:- Blades are miles ahead
3. League position:- Blades are not far enough ahead to be comfortable yet...
4. Crowds:- This is dictated by the division as much as anything. Blades are ahead.
5. Future prospects.... Looking very good for Utd, & looking very mediocre for the wendys.
As for 'rather be like Bolton'.. I'd say Bolton are held together by the legend of Allardyce. When they eventually lose him, and they WILL, they will return to the CCC, unless they get another superb manager. Sheff Utd will always need a decent man (like NW), but the off-field business & supporters at BDTBL are so good I think we'll be a more attractive proposition to the better managers, when its time for a change. Who could do as well or better than Allardyce? I bet a few managers would fancy taking Utd further forward though...
UTB!
