What a series of disasterous decisions over a fairly short period of time.
First of all we come out of the Premiership with a head start over our rivals and go and appoint Brian Robson , what on earth was McCabe thinking about ?
We then decide to sell a series of experience players and our best youngsters all within a period of a couple of years or so without much of a fight. No club can retain all its best players forever but to to see the likes of Jags , Kilgallon , Sharp , Cotterill , Naughton , Kenny , Walker , Beattie , etc etc all go in a relatively short period of time was suicide.
We are now left with such a poor group of players with no skill , no passing ability , no pace and no goal scoring threat.
Maybe SOD ( who didn't ever give the impression during his radio interviews ) that he didn't want to come was prepared to share with the board some home truths ! He probably would not have saved us but for those Blades like myself now in my early 40's , it would have least been an opportunity to rebuild by playing some decent football as opposed to the so called high energy ' huff and puff' stuff we've witnessed for far too long now.
I hope we get it right next year in league 1 but having watched a handful of league 1 games on Sky , I'm afraid my assessment of the current playing staff is bottom third at best.
What a shame , yes we were kicked in the teeth my the Premiership but the club has made so many mistakes since then.
